President "Upbraids'' Watson
For Shooting ''Blind Turkeys''

informed Col. Watson the charges
would be dropped.
The exchange of official" letters af-
forded entertainment to members OF
the White House staff and made Wat
son the recipient of many sly digs.
Watson actually killed two birds with
one shot. Just as he fired at one
turkey, another few into the same
path and both dropped.
The fun at Watson's expense arose
from a joke played on Admiral Gray
son, president Of the American Red
Gross. Some time ago. while hunt
ing on Baruch's grounds in South
Carolina, friends framed" Grayson.
They tied a turkey out in the brush
and Grayson, taking no time to in
vestigate, fired several shots before
killing the bird. When he approached,
he found a sassy note from his
friends" tied to the birds wings.
Thus arose the charge that Wat
son, in shooting two blind" turkeys,
was trying to capture the glory of
Grayson, who shoots only turkeys
that are tied"

NEW DEAL CASES
BELIEVED DECIDED
Supreme Court Announce
n1ent of Ruling Expected
..- January 6.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A decision ON some--h not aIl-ot
the New Deal litigation argued in the
last two weeks was generally believed
last night to have been reached by the
Supreme Court.
But unless the nine justices at their
customary secret conference yesterday
decided to dismiss one or moro OF the
cases for lack of jurisdiction, no an
n0Nncement of the rulings is expected
before January 6.
a Should the court have decided to
return any of the suits already argued
to lower tribunals for technical rea-
sons. that action likely would be an
nounced tomorrow. ss
Four Cases Involved.
Four New Deal cases possibly were
decided--involving attacks on consti-
tutionality of the original and amended
agricultural adjustment acts, the
Bankhead compulsory cotton control
measure, and the Tennessee Valley law
In addition, the court was believed
to have decided whether it would pass
upon the validity of the Guffey act in
cases appealed last week. The Garter
Coal Co. of West Virginia brought the
appeal and the Government said il
had no objection to speedy interpre-
tation of the controverted law.
rs Farm Measures Argued.
Two of the disputes-involving the
original A. A. A. and the Bankheac
law-were argued in advance Of the
conference a week ago. These may
have been decided then, but some OBJ
servers considered it likely that tht
court would delay action on the farm
measures until after debate was hearc
on the amended A. A. A. act.
That took place Monday. Validity
of the Tennessee Valley act was ar
gied on Thursday and Friday. Hence
two of the cases at least were taker
Up in conference for the first time
yesterday.
Usually, the justices decide on tht
Saturday following arguments wha
their rulings will be. One is desig'
mated to prepare an opinion. If there
is any dissent. those in the minority
designate one of their number to write
the conflicting views.
No Conference This Saturday.
1t sometimes happens that more
than one conference is necessary tt
reach an agreement on hotly disputed
litigation. If a decision was no
reached yesterday. further action likel!
would be postponed for two weeks.
No conference is planned for thi!

HAUPTMANN faces
COURT LIKE KINGS
New Jersey Pardons Board
Is Bound by No Law or
Precedent.
By the Associated Press.

TRENTON, N. j., December al
New Jerseys historic Court Of Par
dons, exercising all the prerogatives
of the crown in old English law, may
extend Bruno Richard Hauptmann
clemency on whatever terms it pleases.
The court, composed of Gov. Harold
G. Hoffman, Chancellor Luther A.
Campbell and six lay judges Of the
Court of Errors and Appeals, Is akin
to the King and his privy council
and is bound by neither law nor prece-
dent.
This court of mercy-Hauptmann's
last chance of escaping the electric
chair-may hear counsel for the State
or defense or Hauptmann himself and
dozen other witnesses. Or 1t may
hear none and no one may question
its acts.
Its Work Is Secret.
It's sessions are held behind closed
doors, and what it does is its own busi-
ness. One OF its rules is, mo dis
cussion had by and between members
in relation to an application shall be
divulged on any ground whatever"
Likewise, the petition that Haupt-
mann's attorneys expect to file Mon
day, asking "for relief" is also the
courts own affair. although the world
wonders what, if any. new evidence
Hauptmann will cite in it as grounds
for clemency. His attorneys limited
there would be none, but the petition
would "be indicative of what We have" :"
So strict is the court that none Of
the matters before it becomes public,
and another of its rules states no copy
OF any petition or communication,
relative to any exercise Of clemency,"
shall be made public ~by or for" any
person except by the courts order.
Not Really q Court.
The Court Of Pardons, in a judicial
sense, is not a court, and is not SO
designated in the Constitution Of 1874.
The pardoning power in the Constitu-
ton is listed under the functions Of
the Chief Executive The Constitu-
ton provides that clemency may be
granted only If a majority Of the
court" including the Governor, vote
for it. That means Hauptmann needs
five of the eight votes.
The late Chancellor Edwin Robert
| Walker observed that although New
Jerseys Court of Pardons represented
the King and council. he could find no
instance where the privy council
shared ''in the prerogative Of mercy
or were ever consulted by the King"
However, the chancellor said, it may
have been that the King OCCASIONALLY
asked the councils advice, and 1t was
the privy councillors duty to advise
the King, according to the best Of his
cunning and discretion"
Meet Like Directors Board.
Members of the court wear no fiow-
ing robes. In business suits they meet
in the Governors of1ce on designated
days and sit around a mahogany table,
much like board of directors.
The court may meet at the State
prison when it considers Hauptmann's
case. Gov. Hoffman said he would
probably" favor having the man con-
victed Of the Lindbergh baby killing
make a personal appearance before
| the court.
If the court so decides, Hauptmann
may leave his death house cell, under
heavy guard, for q brief visit to the
council room in the prison center. It
would be his first exit from the little
red building he entered last Febru-
ary Is.
