Washington, June 2e--The ad- mlnistration hasn't been scared away from the idea of Q constitu. tional amendment to meet U. s. supreme court decisions against the new deal, Anyway, not more than temporarily. 8N
 Many of Roosevelt's advisers still are frequently found in hud- dies, discussing the possibilities, One, group meets regularly once a week and exchanges ideas as to how an amendment curhing the su- preme courts powers should be framed and as to when the cam paign for 1t should begin.
 These fellows claim to have as- surances that Roosevelt will SUD- port such amendment when, the time is ripe. Yl.4
 Some of the presidents progress sive advisers would like to see the fight begin at once. But Roosevelt is fond of saying:
 "I time my punches"
 And most new dealers believe he should say nothing moro about the supremecourt issue until the court strikes . blow at AAA. Few doubt that AAA, the Wagner labor dis. putes act and the security program will be in serious danger.
 If the court knocks one or two of them out, 1t is believed, plenty of popular support can be recruited for an amendment.

 Parading popular beach stretch, Quite impossible to describe her But doesn't she look quite sketch. Her costume is quite indescribable And designed just for the beach; She's trying to rival the summer crowd, But at that, would you call her peach! She's done up in harness and halter, A rakish something covers her head; If told she had to appear thusly She'd wall and wish she were dead. Her mother before her might be funny In bathing dress of about nineteen tive; But mothers no funnier than daughter And she also could do mean dive.

Congress Can Curb Court

Legal sharks have been studying a precedent where congress passed a law stipulating that 1t should not be subject to judicial review and the court respected the admonition to keep its hands off. The precedent was in the case ot U. s. versus McArdle and involved one of the laws passed during the post Civil, war reconstruction pc. riod.
 Sentiment leans toward ar amendment rather than resurrec. ton of that precedent. But you may hear more about the latter as the delays involved in getting an amendment through become evi. dent. Later you may find 1t worth remembering that Subsection l. Section 2, Article III of the Consti- ] tution, after defining the courts jurisdiction and original jurisdic. ton, says:
 "In all tho other cases before mentioned, tho supreme court shall have appellate Jurisdiction both as to law and to fact, with such ex- captions and under such regula- tions us tho congress shall make" Customary failure of congress tomake exceptions Is a matter of usage, rather than obeisance to e constitutional prerogative of the court.
