POLICE MAIN TAIN
 WATCH ON DRIVERS
Determined Campaign in Force to Compel Re-
 spect for Traffic Law

With icy and snow-covered streets adding to the hazards of winter driving, all street and mo. tor patrolmen of the police de- partment hhve been ordered by Supt. Joseph H. Mclean to carry on @ determined drive against careless and negligent drivers, particularly those who attempt to pass signal lights.
 Begun Thursday, when the sue perintendent issued his order, the campaign has already resulted In three arrests. Every signal light | in the city is being closely watched | by member of the department, l with the motor patrol paying par- ticuiar attention to the signal bea- cons while on cruising trips. Police are determined to keep avoidable accidents at Q mini
 mum during 1895, and careful pa
 trolling thus far. during the year
 has achieved excellent results. Wa terbury's accident record last year
 was quite good in comparison with other cities of the state, but
 stiil further reductions in the num-
 Der of minor as well as serious
 accidents.
 one of the most remarkable
 features of the city's accident re-
 cord is that fewer accidents are al most invariably reported when driving conditions are obviously
 bad because of snow, rain, sleet,
 icy highways or fog. Police con-
 tend that this proves drivers ex-
 ercise more care when they know Iconditions are dagerous and that
 the constant exercise of such care ;would cut down the accident list l,by a substantial margin.

that codes and code-makers' ac- tiong are subject to federal admin istratiye scrutiny and that MIRA is empowered by MIRA (and tho codes themselves) to amend any code-as 1t did in ordering q 36- hour week and . 10 per cent wage increase for the cotton garment in- dustry, which is the sort of thing bound to bring supreme court tests. DECISIONS IN CONFLICT
 The way. things go in the lower courts is illustrated by contrast, ing the opinion of Judge Charles I. Dawson In Kentucky, who held that fixing of coal miners stand ard wages at $4.60 was "unwar- ranted invasion of the reserved powers of the staets and the rights of the people" with that of Judge Albert c. Coxe in southern New York, who enjoined the Lomas Dress Company from violating wage and hour provisions and caused 1t to post a $17,50O certl- lied check for restitution to It's workers.
 !. The AAA is facing the. "delega- ton of power" issue In two of it's most important court fights--both of which probably will reach the supreme court.
 In a suit which would involve repayment of about billion dol- lars of processing taxes If the gov- ernment lost, the two receivers for the Hoosaic Mills Corporation in Massachusetts refuse to pay $S1,- 000 in cotton processing tax. Chief issue seems to be whether the Ag- ricultural Adjustment Actor the processing tax section of it--is in- valid because 1t delegates legisla- tive powers, that is, the taxing power, to Secretary Wallace.
 a The Edgewater Dairy company of Chicago also claims "improp- CT delegation" in the test case against Wallace's revocation Of milk licenses--involving the AAA's right to regulate prices milk deal- CTS must pay farmers for milk. The Court Who's Who
 Perhaps the most important things to remember about tho su- nreme court New Deal tests is that they involve primarily clash between the "sanctity" of property and the profit system with the right of Congress to lcgislate in what 1t deems the public interest and the fact that to the extent the supreme court 1iberalizes itself by granting that right to Congress, it's own power will wane.
 This series will now end with thumbnail sketches of the nine members of the court-whioh IS to date the most powerful court in the world:

of Congress void on the ground that 1t internationally delegated legislative power to the president and his appotntees.
 But neither has Congress ever before conferred such huge grants of discretionary and regulatory au- thority as 1t has given to Roosevelt,
 The two issues involve price-flx- ing, production control, wages and hours, definition and prohibition of unfair trade practices," collec- tive bargaining, and other meas- ures under NRA codes. They are raised in actions oppos- ing AAA processing taxes, milk H. censes, and other procedures. and in most other New Deal cases. MUST RETAIN CONTROL r.y
 The supreme court has held that Congress must not delegate "legis- lative" power unless necessary to exercise 1t effectively and con- veniently. Usually the courts, while holding that 1t may delegate power to set up rules and regila- tions, have insisted that Congress must lay down fairly definite standards of procedure. '@.
 The supreme courts most impor- tant decision of the sort was that Congress, in giving flexible tariff powers to the president, had cStab- lished standards sufficiently defi- mite.
 But the most advanced decision to date seems to be that of fifth circuit court of appeals, which said in upholding the government in one of the oil production con- trol cases: .f
 "While Congress cannot abdicate legislative power, 1t may make . large delegatoin of 1t, always re- taining the right of control and of resumption"
 On the other hand, there's the recent significant decision by Fed cral Judge Harry E. Anderson at Memphis, granting the plea of 500 hardwood manufacturers for an :n. junction against federal prosecu- ton for disregarding price mini nuns fixed by an NRA code au- thority. l
 CODE RIGHTS IN DOUBT
 Judge Anderson didn't find MIRA or anything in 1t uncon- stitutional. He simply ruled that there was no mention of price-fix- ing or price protection in tho MIRA; that there was provision for codes of fair competition; and that price regulation is the an. tithesis of competition"
 Elsewhere, MIRA price-fixlng Ina. been upheld. The Anderson deci. sion raises the question how ia, NRA can go under MIRA and more polntedly, just how far pri vate citizcns--such as members .oi a code authority--can be invested with powers of regulation.

THE OLD CooKY JAR
Good Evenine.

How dear to our hearts the scenes of childhood, The familiar road where ne'er dashed car, The old country farmhouse with its wonders Not the least of these the old cooky jar! Sugar and ginger and sometimes raised doughtnuts The stone jar stood on the wide pantry shelf Fresh baked pies facing wide shuttered window And you slipped, in to literally help yourself The cooky jar has passed with other customs To be replaced by caterers pastry box Or fancy biscuits done up in bright tinfoil Supplanting cooky jars and old crooks. And many day when it comes late afternoon, Do YOU recall with anguish almost poignant The pantry shelf with it's old cooky jar!
