Behind the
Scenes i'm
Washington
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
The Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. - II may
be worth remembering that the gov
eminent won the Schechter NRA
test case - IN its first tryout before
a federal district court in New York.
The decision, as you recall, didn't
stick.
You can take Federal District
Judge william O. Coleman'S decision
in Baltimore against the holding
company act as seriously as the pub
lie utility corporations would ike you
TO take Ii. Or you may. as attorneys
for the government privately would
suggest, merely yawn.
But in any event the more you
looked into the inside workings OF
the so-called legal or judicial pro-
cess. the more disillusioned you'd
get.
You might guess why New Deal
ers say they can nearly always
guess how any district judge will
decide a case and why they, as
well as corporation lawyers seek
ing to prove laws unconstitutional,
try to bring their test cases before
certain judges.
Federal judges are usually X
politicians picked by politicians for
political reasons. The district
bench now happens TO be loaded
with Republicans because so many
Jobs became vacant during Repub-
lican administrations.
But you needn't think Roosevelt
has done any better by the Iudici-
airy. His district judge selections
almost invariably have been made
on recommendation Of senior sena-
tors from the states involved. with
approval OF Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings. who gets
much advice from that prince OF
lobbyists and good fellows, eX-Na-
tional Committeeman ]. Bruce
Kremer.
Both Guessed Right
It's no reflection on Judge Cole
man to point out that he was an
unsuccessful Republican office
seeker and had come to be known
as anti-New Deal. Or to point out
that the power trust and its law
yer, John w. Davis. were conf
dent OF victory in Judge Coleman's
court while government lawyers
were confident OF defeat.
Both sides we're right. The
power trust" was able to pick the
battle-ground. Government law
yers probably would have brought
the test - if they could have -
In New York. where there are some
Democratic district judges.
What the holding companies
most wanted was an adverse decis-
ion which would give them psyche
logical aid in refusing to register
with the SEC on Dec. /. when the
law goes into effect. Their next
test will be before District Judge
Nields at Wilmington, former g.
o. p. officeholder who ruled
against the government In the
Weirton case.
Utilities. testing the iva. care
fully chose TO file. suit in Birming-
ham before the late Justice Grubb,
a Republican appOintee. They won.
But when the ase came before the
Fifth Circuit Court OF Appeals.
which happens tor be made up pre-
.ponderantly of Democrats, iva
won a reversal.
Court Is All Republican
Just for fun. take a look at the
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals.

Bruce Cabot. rising young star, plays opposite her, with Ad- rienne Ames, William Harrigan and Ken Murray in other leading roles.
 Miss Tweiyetrees is cast as a model in "Disgraced!' and the costumes she wears are prophetic of the new seasons styles. She dis plays more than score of stun ming creations designed for her by Travis Banton, Paramount stylist.
 Miss Twelvetrees, an attractive model, catches the eye of Cabot, a wealthy young man-about-town He pays ardent court to her, and finally, convinced that her love is reciprocated, she yields to him. They will be married. he assures her, as soon as he can break off his engagement to Adrienne Ames, wealthy young debutante.
 Miss Twelyetrees is called upon to model wedding gown for Miss Ames, and finds that Cabot has been deceiving her. She pockets a pistol and goes to Cabot. In hec- tic scene, he prevents her from shooting him, locks her in closet and calls the police. It is Miss Twelvetrees' father who is sent out on the case. What happens when he learns that she has been be- trayed brings the picture to a daring climax.

 Another Group
Continued from Page >'ne)

House by Democrats in 1880 when it appeared possible his vote might determine which party ultimately would organize that body, Kvales place in the national limelight has been more or less obscure.
 Since he has been in Congress he has been content to sit on the sidelines, attend sessions of the House faithfully and occasionally speak his mind on matters at hand.
 For years he has been a member of select group of independents who were in the habit of meeting periodically in some office or com mittee room around the capitol and discussing the state of the union. LaGuardia was moving spirit in this little group although there were no officers. Gossip has it that 1t was here much of the plan of attack waged by LaGuardia and

 Kvale apparently has fallen heir to the role once played by La- Guardia.
 Their Program
 At least it was at his call that some 35 Democratic, Republican, Farmer-Laborite and Progressive members of the. House met to for mulate legislative program of their own. Their major objectives include shorter hours for labor, higher income taxes, government ownership of natural resources in- dustries, federal control of bank credit, guarantee of farm profits

ROMANTIC TALE OF RUSSIA AT
 CAPITOL TODAY
Marlene Dietrich Seen in One of Best Roles in
 Scarlet Empress


 Opening tonight at the Capitol Theatre, Marlene Dietrich's por- trayal of the noble and notorious" Catherine of Russia in The, Scar let Empress" Josef von Sternberg's most recent Paramount production is said to gain recognition as the most colorfnl role Of her career.
 The picture. itself, likewise. is Director von Sternberg's outstand- ing contribution to the screen; a spectacular offering in magnifi- cent settings. gorgeously costumed and, above. all, the story of one of the most glamorous figures in his- tory told with a dramatic force which never once wavers.
 Miss Dietrich enacts her role inn presSively throughout, from the time she enters Russia as an cb- scue German princess betrothed to the mad Grand Duke Peter, up to her occupancy of the throne during the most turbulent period Of Russia's early history.
 John Lodge, as the courtly Count Alexei, by his performance gains particular niche for himself among the screens ablest leading men. Sam Jaffe, similarly. in play ing the idiotic Grand Duke Peter, gives full expression to the rare talent which first was recognized in his appearance at Kringelein in Grand Hotel'' on Broadway. Lou ise Dresser portrays the naughty Empress Elizabeth.

 While some of their colleagues may laugh and joke at The Nave ricks," the more serious minded politicians and House leaders do not regard the move so lightly.
 A bloc of 35 always must be reckoned with in a legislative body such as the House of Represents lives. Proper and timely manipula- ton Of such a number of votes can cause trouble for the leadership e almost any time.
