ADVANCE RULE
ON UNCERTAIN
LAWS is URGED
Johnson Says Act at Your
Peril Policy Part of
Silly System.
BY HUGH s. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, June Act at
your peril is a part of our policy
that has nothing to commend and
much to condemn it.
If group in business plans some
joint action unoer the antitrust
act. they do not know how far they
can 90 without being sent to Jail
and there is nobody who will tell
them.
Years ago Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes remarked that. after
40 years. while business men had
been informed of much that is pro-
hibited under antitrust legislation,
they are informed of very little that
is permitted.
Arbitrary Discretion
That is the deliberate policy of
the Federal Trace Commission and,
with a far more harmful result,
that is what happens in the SUI
preme Court.
Can it be regarded as anything
sane that a new economic system
can be laboriously built up through
out the whole structure of a COM
merical nation of 125,000,0 people
and then, without a warning hint,
swept out of existence in a single
day?
1t is incredible. Nothing like it
was ever seen in the economic or
political history of the whole world
The mere fact that few lawyers
dreamed of such a result is, itself,
proof of an arbitrary discretion
more potent that that of any des-
pot in all time.
System Is Cray"
I am not criticiSing the court or
its decision. l am talking about a
system which permits such result.
1t requires only a statement of the
facts to conclude that it is crazy.
1t is exactly as though a king
building a palace should refuse to
look at a blue print but require the
architect to put it in place complete
and then burn it down and built
another if supreme authority didn't
happen to like the plumbing system.
What is the basis of this silly
system? Because the Constitution
confines the judicial power to
cases" and controversies, the
court has said that it can not
render declaratory judgment. That
alone is the reason why we are
sporadically subjected to such ex-
plosions of which the sick chicken
case is the worst.
Lines to Be Reformed
1t ought to be a lesson. Some
method should be invented of OBJ
tanning definitions in advance.
There are many ways in which
this could be done if there were
a will to do it. There certainly
ought to be a will to Go it after
this fatality. How can business be
expected to proceed to prosperity
in these vast uncertainties?
What will happen now? Will the
demand for relief by millions, now
blocked here, turn to force the ter
rible and admitted power of none
tary imitation? Will fiercely radical
elements now seize control?
1 think not. The lines will be
reformed. The New Deal will go
ahead on it's original path straight
ened and modified by the courts
opinion. But must we forever hazard
action on the slippery footing of
somebody's guess?

The Army's Needs.

War history of the United States is
an unbroken record of victory, but it is
also record of consistent unreadiness
for every major emergency which has
confronted the Nation Graphic attention
is drawn to that historical fact in Secre-
tary of War Dern's annual report on the
needs Of the Army. at is a pity" Mr..
Dern points out in pithy passage, "that
we should have become as oblivious to
the bitter lessons of the World War as
to allow our defense to dwindle until,
if any other war should be forced upon
us, we should, as usual, be unprepared
for effective action"
AS far as that reproach applies to
present deficiencies in the military estab-
hshment, Secretary Dern recommends
concrete remedial measures. Taking
cognizance of the immense role that air.
craft now plays in the field of defense,
he urges immediate steps to provide the
Army with a f1ve-year program under
which q minimum of eight hundred
fighting planes would be purchased an
nually. Such program would equip
the Army with three thousand combat
planes by the end Of the five-year period.

the radium needles themselves. The
experiment was carried on for almost
month. In the first IS tubes no changes
Of any kind were noted. In the other
eight, however. he noted suspicious and
inexpncable changes of color in the
liquid.
At the end of the irradiation period
tests were made of all the irradiated
colonies. In the first IS only the normal
scarlet fever streptococcus was recov-
cred. In the other two kinds of
organisms were found. One constituted
a colony of the normal streptococcus-
each individual globular in shape and
bound to others in chainlike formations.
The other form was much larger more
opaque, and grew more vigorously. 1t
did not occur in chains, although in
dividuals retained something of the same
general shape as their ancestors.
DR.. Spencer experimental with one OF
these colonies by various systems of lab
oratory technique. The organisms, he
says, appeared to be in no way related
to the streptococcuS and would easily
be considered an entirely different
species" However when the colonies
were allowed to multiply there was shown
a tendency of some of the organisms to
revert to the chainlike formation of their
ancestors. Others did not show this ten
dency. After few transfers, constantly
eliminating the groups with the ances-
trail tendency, the new form attained
dominance until the chain habit dis
appeared entirely.
The new form of life now is thriving
in DR.. Spencer's laboratory. Generation
after OonerofjO0 remains true N the nnW
hereditary form. The only change is
that the individuals have become larger
and tend to assume unusual shapes.
There can be no question, DR.. Spencer
reports, that this new form of life was
due to the effects of irradiation. Tubes
of the same streptococcus organism
which we're not irradiated yielded moth
ing but the old ancestral forms which
have been present on earth at least since
the beginning of history. Extreme care
was used to prevent any contamination
of the irradiated tubes.
Unfortunately, he stresses, this is an
experiment which cannot be repeated
with any likelihood of similar results.
There was absolutely no difference be-
tween the 8 culture tubes which yield
ed the new type of organism and the
Is which did not. Why it should have
arisen in some and not in others is
inexplicable. A repetition of the ex-
pertinent might yield nothing, it might
Weld a similar new form, or it might
result in something altogether different.
Experimenting with other types of
bacteria, DR.. Spencer found that radium
irradiation has a dual effect-on the
one hand deadly to certain percentage
of colony and on the other hand pos
sibly stimulating to the survivors. Con-
tinuous irradiation Of a colony tends to
produce in the survivors larger forms.
This may, he points out, be due to some
inhibiting effect of the radiation on cell
division with the result that the in
dividual continues its growth longer.

Apart from his aircraft recommenda-
tions, the Secretary of War advises
maintenance of the Regular Army at
a minimum strength Of $4,000 officers
and 10000 enlisted men, involving an
addition of 1000 officers. He urges keep
ing the National Guard at not lower
than 10000, an increase of about $4,000.
He would raise from 10000 to $4,000 the
minimum number of organized Reserve
officers to be given two weeks annual
training and enroll $4,000 youths in citi-
zens' military training camps instead of
the 10000 accommodated last Summer.

gestS the Inauguration of munitions

All these recommendations, not omit
ting the important matter of completing
the Armys housing program, compre-
hend genuine, rational preparedness
They carry no suggestion of "militarism"
or aggressive intent. They represent at
all points the countrys minimum needs
in the realm of land defense. Mr.. Dern
speaks nothing but the simple truth
when he points out that '.in the absence
of any effective assurance of permanent
peace" the American military establish
ment must be maintained at peak eff
cheney ito provide against unforeseen
eVentualitieS"
Well organized and literally financed
agencies are at work to undermine the
American peoples faith in preparedness
and to influence Congress against making
adequate provision for the Army and
Navy. Warnings against an ostrich
policy, such as President Roosevelt has
recently uttered in referring to existing
international conditions, and the sane
proposals submitted by Secretary Dern
deserve, as they will undoubtedly receive,
the attentive and favorable eonsidera-
tion of Congress when it tackles the vital
subject of national defense.
Administration, House and Senate will
be properly constrained in the imme-
diate future to curta1 Federal expendi-
ture to the bone. But to pare down
unduly appropriations for the Army and
Navy will represent penny-wise, pound
foolish policy. Secretary Dern puts it
tersely and sensibly when he says that
"in the event of a sudden war, we should
find that our so-called economies were
in reality a hideously extravagant waste
of money and lives" The Nations
experience in 19l7-18 amply justifies
that statement 1t should be the lamp
to guide us out of dangerous and costly
paths in future.

s'Petition Denied -

The summary manner in which the
Supreme Court yesterday denied the
petition of Richard Bruno Hauptmann
for a review of his trial in New Jersey
for the murder of the Lindbergh child
was altogether characteristic of that
tribunal. 1t never differentiateS between
cases on the score of public interest, but
regards them all as merely items of
procedure, whatever their sensational
backgrounds. In this instance the
Hauptmann appeal was one of eighteen
requests for remedy at the hands of the
highest court and was merely listed
with them, after two of the brief orders
were read, with the announcement that
all would be posted by the clerk"
This denial closes the doors of the
highest court to the New Jersey petit
toner, who now has left only his final
appeal to the State Court of Pardons,
which, at the present stage, can only
grant clemency in the form of COM
mutation of the death sentence to
term of imprisonment, perhaps for life.
That court cannot set aside the verdict,
which can be rescinded only by the
original trial court in case plea of new
evidence, accompanied by a positive
showing of material discoveries, is judged
worthy of consideration.
There has been much talk of such
new evidence, but nothing tangible has
developed. Sensational statements have
appeared to the effect that certain
detective of some local repute as solver
of crimes has uncovered such material. He
now denies that he has made discoveries
of this nature. The Governor of the
State, who recently arrested public atten-
ton by visiting the condemned man in
his cell, most unusual procedure, gives
no further indication of partisanship
suggestive of a disposition toward
'clemency.
Hauptmann is entitled to the benefit Of
