500 new DEAL
TESTS PENDING

WASHINGTON. March f.-R-
More than 500 tests OF New Deal
legislation were reported Saturday
to be pending In the federal courts
Of the country.
Department OF Justice officials,
promising TO take all disputed sta
tutes 70 the Supreme Court speedily
to find out what the law is." said
that 25s OF the pending cases in
volye the National Industrial Re-
covery act.
The nub OF contention In many
OF these Is what constitutes inter-
state commerce2" contending that
manufacturing plants and business
establishments are "the wells Of
commerce" the government has
sought TO regulate them under its
constitutional power TO control COM
merce between the states.
Two recent decisions on this
point have gone against the ad-
ntnistration. A federal Judge at
Wilmington, Del. ruled that the
collective bargaining clause OF the
Recovery Act was unconstitutional
as applied TO the Weirton Steel
company. He said the constitution
gave congress no right to regulate
manufacture. On the same day q
federal Judge at Louisville. KY,
taking q similar view. granted an
injunction against enforcement Of
a coal code.
Attorney General Cummings looks
for the questions involved In both
OF these NRA set-hacks TO be set
tied by another case already pend
ing In the Supreme Court. This Ia
the governments appeal from the
decision Of the federal court at
Birmingham. Ala, that the MIRA
and q lumber code established under
1t were unconstitutional. Cummings
hopes the Wilmington and Louis
vile cases may be combined with
the Birmingham litigation. which
Is TO be argued before the Supreme
Court next month.
Thousands OF railroad workers are
watching for a decision March Is
In another case before the high
court. II Is expected 70 decide the
legality Of the railroad pension act
Although this was not q New Deal
measure IL may provide q precedent
for the administrations social Sc
curly legislation.

LARGER ARMY
BILL FINDS
I SENATE foes

WASHINGTON. March 7-R-
Opposition was forming in the SEN
ne saturday Tor a brisk fight on
the proposal for a S45, 100000 in
ch~~<e In army appropriations and
expansion Of the enlisted force to
10000 men.
The supply bill comes up in the
senate Monday. The senate has al
ways had a fair-sized bloc ready 70
attack increases In military ap-
preparations, but the jump in the
army bill this year has increased
Its strength, some members say.
Little opposition faced the bill in
the appropriations committee, which
approved II Friday with more than
Go,00OyOO0 added TO the military APP
preparations passed by the house. A
reduction Of $i0.O00.00) was made in
the war departments non-military
fund.
Chief point Of controversy in the
b7ll. critics indicated Saturday, will
be the proposal to increase the
standing army from lle.750 TO l65, 900
enlisted men, involving an annual
appropriation of $40. zoos.
senator King O-Utah) Is one Of
the leaders Of the opposition against
this.
MY opinion is" ne said Satur-
day, that we r becoming a little
too historical by reason of the acts
Of other nations and there Is no
justification for such O large ap-
preparation or for an increase in
the size Of the army"
Supporters of the increased per-
sonnet will argue that 1t is needed
for military purposes. but also Is an
inexpensive way TO care for a po--
ton Of the unemployed. Major
General Douglas Macarthur. chief
Of staff, told the appropriations
committee 1t was cheaper than any
other relief method. averaging about
500 q year per man.

McALLEN. March "A loyal

grandson Of Lon A. Smith, member

ask for correct information on the
subject but also asked whether the

A part Of young Nolen's letter fol-
lows:
II am q boy II years Of age in the
seventh grade. My teacher. Miss Eli
xabeth Alley Of Austin, was In Austin
when q discussion came up about
whether the white or the red stripe
OF the Texas flag was at the top.
About 10 prominent men were phon-
ed In Austin; some said white. ON
said red and some did not know. I
have looked In several reference
books and histories; some said red
and some white.
Next year in the Centennial cele-
bration. the people r probably COM
ing from all the northern states.
When these people drive through me
state, the flag will have red at the
top ut one place and white at In
other. The people will probably say:
what Is the matter with these Tex
ans? They don't know how to display
their. own flag
Because many OF the people do
not know the correct way to display
our sacred flag. could the proper
manner Of displaying the flag be Of

March .. 1S35-The day was the
forty-second birthday OF Sam
Houston. II was also to be the
natal day of the Republic of Texas.
which Houston 50 ably champion
ed. However capably 1t may be
argued that the time relation
ships Of certain important and
connected events were merely the
result of chance, there viii always
be an abiding notion In the minds
Of some that they were not wholly
accidental. 1t has at times SEEM
ed as If q mysterious influence
governing the affairs OF men
brought certain Of them into the
world and schooled them to shoul-
der, in life, great responsibilities
and meet the intellectual and spirit
ual requirements cf critical periods.
Those who enjoy such sp~eculations
find abundant opportunity for
their exercise in q study Of the life
Of Sam Houston. He was q par
ticipant in the second proof that a
democracy could survive as a a
ton, and now he was about TO be-
come a guiding spirit in the birth
Of another. Men have written Of
him for half a century OF more.
and will continue to do so for
many years 70 come. II Is be-
coming IN any one to hesitate TO
undertake a full portrayal Of him.
His life is a challenge as well as
an inspiration. for he was truly
self-made man who was IN a large
degree possessed Of one character
istic without which all others are
useless. - a logged determination
70 apply his abilities with the ut
most effort 10 every task which
confronted him. AT least, 1t was
so with the exception OF an inter-
Jude in his life which was his own
secret. Probably it was in that
way alope that he differed from
the other great men who aided In
making a nation OF Texas. A ma
tive Of Virginia, he was - when
his widowed mother moved TO Ten
neSsee. He entered the second war
with Great Britain as a private
and at its close was a Major-G Gen.
eral. Twice a member Of Congress
from Tennessee and later its Gov
ernor. he was a national figure as
well as prominently a great Tex

SENATE OKAYS
POWER BILL

WASHINGTON, May. 81 W.D -
The senate today passed the John
son bill, designed to legalize more
than a score of western power pro-
iects jeopardized by a recent SUI
preme court decision
The legislation, described by Sen
Hiram w. Johnson, CRep0, Cali
fornia, as an emergency measure,
applied particularly to the Parker
dam in Arizona and the Grand
Coulee project in Washington.
It was amended before passage
to include authorization for con-
struction of a dam and supplement
tary works at Head Gate Rocks
Arizona.
johnson explained the bill during
brief debate as necessary to permit
work to go ahead after the supreme
court decision in the case of the
United States versus Arizona, in
volying the Parker dam.
Tt was held that specific authority
by congress was necessary before
work could proceed.
