What's What
Behind News

Ickes Rumors Again
Current, But President
Seems Unchanged.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THE rumor is going around
again that Secretary Ickes has
reached the end ef his tether
4 and soon will seek other
pastures A congressional
wish is probably the father Of that
thought. If congressional antagonism
to Mr.. Ickes has made Mr.. Roose-
velt think any less of him, the Presi-
dent is keeping it very much to him.
self All signs indicate that it really
has made him like Mr.. Ickes more.
That is not true of some of Mr.
Roosevelts closest White House as
sociates. who share the congressional
viewpoint, in moderation.
The hush is supposed to be on
the stamp matter. Postmaster Gen.
eral Fdrley's spokesnen haze just
about confessed the facts, indicated
that he pds uictintized by friends
and are hoping every one wiI for
get it,
The facts seem TO be that Sunny
Jim took about 10 sheets of stamps
in all. He paid the regular price for
them, cents per stamp, probably
about $50 in all. They may now be
worth 100000 in the philatelic
trade, which apparently is not on the
gold standard, but fixes its values on
the obsolete law of supply and de-
mand in defiance of Mr.. Morgen-
thau's gold price policy. However,
Mr.. Farley's people contend few, if
any, of his friends violated his ad-
monition not to sell them, and that
the trade will never see them.

Washington, March 2.-(R)eMore T.
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 stat
utes to the supreme court speedily
Ito find out what the law is," said
that 258 Of the pending cases involve
the national industrial recovery act.
The nub Of contention In many Of
these Is, what constitutes interstate
commerce?" Contending that manu-
featuring plants and business estab-
lishments are the wells Of COM
merce." the 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 admindstra-
tion. A federal Judge at Wilmington,
Del. ruled that the collective bar
gaining 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 = federal Judge ct Louis
vile, KY, taking . similar view,
granted an injunction against en-
forcement Of coal code.
Attorney General Cummings looks
for the questions involved in both OF
these NRA setbacks to be settled by
another case already pending in the
supreme court. This Is the govern
ment's appeal from the decision Of
the. federal court at Birmingham,
Ala, that the MIRA and . lumber
code established under 1t were uncon-
Stitutional.
Thousands Of railroad workers are
watching for q decision March l3 in
another case before the high court.
It Is expected to decide the legality
Of the railroad pension act. Although
this was not New Deal measure, it
may provide q precedent for the ad-
ministration's social security legisla-
ton.
