the states' depends on the condt- ton of business In general.
 Since Congress Is empowered tc protect interstate commerce, fl should be empowered to control any detriment to interstate com. merce, from whatever souce.
 But the commerce clause also has been invoked against the New Deal in most cases now before the courts, against NRA code wage scales, production Limitation, and price liking, as well as against en- forcement of collective bargaining and fair practice provisions, and milk license system.
 The oil men seeking to enjoin Secretary Ickes from restricting their, production cite decisions in- dicating their business is g purely intrastate matter and railroads try ing to bust the new railroad pen sion law base their plea partly on the claim that it extends to eni- ployes not engaged in interstate commerce.
 Bars PWA Loan
 Federal Judge Reeves in Kansas City has just held that PWA money can't be lent or granted to states and towns because the fed- eral government has no jurisdic- tion over intrastate business.
 The supreme and other courts have shown an increasing tenden- cy not to be too fussy about this commerce clause, especially when an effect of intrastate on interstate is shown. The supreme court has often held that intrstate commerce can be controlled in order to regulate interstate commerce when the two are sufficiently intermingled to re- quire 1t. You find 1t deciding that "the floor of commerce has little connection with boundaries'' and that commerce is a unit and.does not regard state lines"

 Saturday brings Bing Crosby | and Kitty Carlisle, last seen to- gether in "She Loves Me Not" in
 Bing's newest and finest musical
 production, Here Is My Heart" Outstanding in three comic roles
 are Roland Young, Alison Skip worth and Reginald owen, as rela- 1 tives of Miss Carlisle, who plays a Russian princess. Their respec- tive performances add incalculably to the success of the picture.
 Crosby, in the film, plays a wealthy radio star who is at. tempting to fulfill six vows made when he was youngster. One Is the rescue of a damsel in distress,
 which he is fulfilling by taking Marian Mansfield home from Mon. te Carlo to New. York in his yacht. A second is the presentation to the United States Naval Academy of Q pair of duelling pistols said to have been given to John Paul Jones by Catherine of Russia.
 Crosby already has one pistol, and receives news from friend that the second, owned by. a Rus- sian princess, has been located. Crosby's attempts to get the pis- tol from the princess, who refuses
 to have anything to do with a
 radio crooner, comprise the plot. He falls in love. with Miss. Car
 lisle at first sight and becomes her waiter. When he realizes she does not recognize him, he buys
 the hotel to keep her from being
 elected and finally wins the prin-
 cess herself, although he does not
 get the pistol. Several new song

 Washington, Jan 17-When law yers get to questioning the validity | of the New Deal, they reach into 1 the Constitution for brickbats and start hurling sections, articles. clauses, amendments, and even an occasional preamble-as if hoping that at least one missile will strike the mark.
 Government attorneys also pick up everything in the Constitution that isn't nailed down and heave tt right back, often using exactly the same tomatoes, but with a different twist.
 Finally, the supreme court grabs one of the heftier fiatirons and, with the utmost dignity, ciouts the government or it's adversary into submission. @ If you aren't sure of beating a federal control measure under the "commerce clause,"' trot Iout 'sduc process" improper delegation of power" improper delegation of along with it at the same time. AL JOo ID d government 1AHyGE and can't be sure of making it stick under that same commerce clause, give the judges additional stiff doses of general welfare clause" and Emergency powers"
 Power Vested in States
 Perhaps you're wondering what this is all about and how it is bound up with the New Deal test cases which have arrived at or are headed toward the supreme court. We'll
 First, you have to remember that the Constitution reserves to the states powers not specifically granted to the federal government. It had taken a lot of stretching of those specific grants to cover all the federal government was doing even before Roosevelt came along and there's nothin gto show that they won't survive g. lot more stretching.
 Congress is empowered to "regu- late commerce among the states" This has been interpreted to mean interstate commerce as distin- guished from intrastate commerce..
 Enormously important cases have hinged--and still hinge-on the question of what to do when intrastate commerce gets gummed up with interstate commerce, as 1t nearly always does.
 Tangle on Jurisdiction
 Recovery acts, notably MIRA and AAA, are primarily based on the commerce clause, with argu- ment: That they are designed to increase the flow of interstate com- merce-such an increase being more or less synonymous with business recovery.

ing in an MIRA lumber code case, went so far as to say that when a lumber company used interstate facilities to get. it's lumber for re- sale locally and advertised in newspapers with interstate circula- tion, 1t came clearly under the regulatory power of Congress.
 Government lawyers cry "emer- gency" louder in some cases than in others, but in all court argu- ments now being made that line of defense is subordinated. For their contention is that Congress would have had a right to pass the New Deal measures even had there been no emergency.
 The emergency argument is stressed just in case the courts find themselves unable to rule fa- vorabty on any other grounds.

 ss'WeIfarey Raises Riddle Meaning of the Constitutions general welfare clause has never been decided by the supreme court, strangely enough, but those words are being used to justify New Deal legislation.
 Congress Is empowered to s'lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts. and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and the general welfare of the United States. ;"
 ! Argument cepters on whether this is a broad grant to pass any fare oWjast limitation of the tax ing power.
 It is also argued that every gov ernmenfs possesses the inherent power of self and that the constitutional obligation to guarantee every state a republican form of government comprehends the power to enact and execute laws necessary to preserve the in- stitutions of government estab- lished in the Constitution. This one, aIso, can be argued both ways and some private lawyers arc telling the courts the New DcA! is violating the guarantee.
 Important Issues Up
 So much for the legal basis of the recovery laws. The laws prob ably will stand up under supreme court scrutiny, but 1t will be a miracle if everything that has been done under them Is declared valid.
 The. question whether the stat utes are being carried out properly under their own~-terms and the question whether Congress was too indefinite in passing out huge grants of power to the executive branch are among the most im- portant issues before the court.
