MORE HANDWRITING
EXPERTS TESTIFY

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. 16.
(UP)-Albert S. Osborn, son of
a previous witness, was the sew
enth government expert to charge
Bruno Richard Hauptmann with
writing the Lindbergh extortion
notes.
Osborn testified that it was
his conviction that the hand that
wrote the ransom notes also wrote
Hauptmann's application for an
automobile "request tag" This
writing was done for the police
after Hauptmann's arrest.
Previously Harry Z. Cassidy
enlivened a normally dull hearing
of scientific testimony by wise
cracking at examining attorneys.

Congressional silver leaders are
determined to keep the label din
flation" off their fight for rehab-
ilitation of the metal and will take
only a minor part in the confer
ence of monetary experts which
opens here today, the United

The meeting was called by Sem

Oklahoma Democrat and infla-

ferees will include representatives

Robinson declared adherence to
the court would substitute Fright
and justice" for "force and ter
ror" in settlement of information
al disputes. He denied that partic-
ipation with the tribunal would
involve entangling alliances or
that American principles or pol

Instead, he said, it would DEM

fort to substitute law for anarchy
in international affairs"
simultaneously, Robinson dis
closed for the first time what was
interpreted as part Of the strategy
of senatorial opponents Of the
court. He said he expected them
to make an effort to create and
another court for the
world body.

benefits to those of the perma-

ON
RECOVERY ACT
LEGALITY Seen
Supreme Court Must Pass
on Wage and Hours Pro-
visions in Suit
ALABAMA CASE IS
NOW UP ON APPEAL
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Shiteu EresS StaH Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. CUP
The validity eff the National In
dustrial Recovery Act appeared
headed directly for a showdown
before the supreme court yester-
day when Solicitor General J.
Crawford Biggs asked the tribun-
al to pass on the decision of the
federal court for the northern
district of Alabama holding the
law unconstitutional.
The case is framed in such
way that, even if the court should
evade the direct test of the act as
a whole, it will be obliged to pass
on wage and hour provisions of
MIRA codes.
Additional interest was attach
ed to the case because of the
courts recent ruling against Sec
ton 9, which gave the President
power to prohibit interstate ship
ments of shot OIL"
The same criticism was made
of the wage and hour provisions
of the lumber code in the present
case. 1t was on this ground that
the lower federal court acted.
The suit, on which the entire
future of the NRA may depend,
arose out of the alleged failure
of William Ebert Belcher, an
Alabama lumber man, to observe
the wage and hour provisions of
the code.
In an indictment of six counts
he was charged with permitting
an employee to work in the pro
duction and manufacture of lum-
Der and timber products more
hours per week or at less than the
minimum hourly wages, permitted
by such code" according to the
brief of the government.
Belcher demurred to the indict-
ment based on the unconstitu-
tionality of the MIRA and of the
code for the lumber industry.
Both documents were challeng-
ed on four grounds. They were
alleged:
l. To exceed the power of con-
gress to regulate interstate and
foreign commerce.
2. To delegate legislative pow
err to the President and others in
violation of the Constitution.
3. To encroach upon powers re-
served to the states in Article 10
of the Constitution.
4. To take private property
without due process of law.
| 1t was assumed that the court
will take jurisdiction of the case
at once. 1t will probably an
nounce it's action Monday when
it is scheduled to decide whether
it will give the case hearing.
If it decides to do so the ques-
ton may be set down 3or argu-
ment at an early date since the
tribunal has indicated is inten-
ton to give right of way to re-
covery legislation.
Only one possibility appeared
to stand in the way of the courts
action. The court might send the
case back, to compel the district
court martial jurist to write an
opinion.
Judge William 1. Grlbb, who
heard the demurrer, dismissed the
Indictment with the brief notation
that he did so on the grounds
raised in the defendants papers.
The higher court is inclined to
frown on this practice, preferrlng
to have the lower courts explain
wbv thew took the action they did.
