NRA ITSELF
. TO Be NEXT
: COURT TEST

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. tP,-The
next supreme court test faced by
the New Deal Is a direct ruling on
the constitutionality OF the NRA.
Eager for a decision before con-
gress shapes new NRA legislation.
government attorneys took the
question to the high tribunal with
out waiting for a federal court Of
appeals to act.
They asked the court to review a
decision by Judge w. I. Grub Of
the United States district court In
Alabama, holding that the National
Industrial Recovery Act and the
code established under II for the
timber and lumber products indus
try are Illegal.
Gets Early Study
Early settlement Of the contro-
yersy which has flared for long in
congress and elsewhere was assured
when the court agreed on January
Il to review Judge Grubb's decision.
The Alabama cas- Is expected 10
be argued after the nine justices end
a two-weeks recess on March 4. II
involves William B. Belcher, a tim
Der producer and manufacturer, who
was indicted on the allegation that
he permitted employees to work more
hours per week or at less than the
minimum wage stipulated under the
code.
Belcher's assertion that enforce
ment OF the code would take his
property without due process Of law
and that the recovery act was an
illegal delegation by congress OF its
legislative powers. was sustained by
Judge Grub.
Two Tests Undergone
So far, the new deal has under
gone two tests In the supreme court.
One was the gold case. decided Mon
day. The other was the NRA oil
clause ruling a month ago. In that
case. the court unanimously declar-
ed unconstitutional a section OF the
National Industrial Recovery Act
under which the government was
regulating oil production. The court
called that section an unwarranted
delegation Of legislative powers 10
the executive branch Of the govern
ment.
Legislation to replace the oil con-
troll section thrown out by the court
was passed by the House Of Repre-
sentatives Monday and sent to the
senate for action on amendments.
This measure would prohibit the
movement In interstate commerce Of
illegally-produced oil. provide for
confiscation Of crude moved In viola
ton OF the federal ban, and give
President Roosevelt authority to set
up whatever agency he deems fit TO
carry out this program. Its hackers
contend II will be satisfactory to the
court.

She was at the Women's Bureau,

smashing the glass from a claw ma

The officer arrived just as the
angry young woman was about to
depart, after collecting her belongings
hastily, in q taxicab from the scene
of the offending machine. But Hesse
stopped her.
The young woman, wearing an ex-
pensive leopard-skin coat, explained
with some heat that she had fed
about $40 in nickels into the machine,
only to see the claws descend, tumble,
grip and then release the clock.
The exasperating and persistent
failure of the claws to function
prompted her, the young woman con-
fessed, to remove her slipper and
smash the glass.
When the officer stopped her, she
said, she was on her way in taxicab
to another stop at some distance from

.|NEBR|ATE FARM
PLAN TAKES SHAPE
Commissioners Name Com.
mittee to Study Hazen
PROPOSAL.

The movement to establish a Dis
trict farm for inebriates began to take
more definite shape today when the
District Commissioners appointed a
committee to study the question. AL
though the District. has the necessary
ground available near the Lorton Re-
formatory, new legislation would have
to be passed by Congress to carry out
the project.
Commissioner Hazen, president Of
the board, who suggested the plan
several months ago, believes such a
farm would be much more effective
than merely sending habitual drunk
ards to the work house for short Jail
terms. The inebriate farm would
keep these repeated offenders for a
longer period of time with view to
affecting a cure.
Commissioner HaZen announced
some of the committee members today
and said others would be added later.
Those already appointed are Wilbur
Laroe. jr.. head of the District Parole
Board; Sanford Bates. director of Fed
eral prisons; Judge Gus A. Schuldt,
presiding judge of Police Court; Ell
wood Street, director of public well
fare; Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superln-
tendent of police, and George w. Of
futt, chairman of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board.
The Commissioners also called on
all department heads today to submit
by December l recommendations for
any new legislation they believe neces-
sary from the coming session of Con-
gress. Their recommendations will be
turned over to Corporation Counsel
Prettyman, who is already at work on
the bill to broaden the general powers
of the Commissioners.

building of Washington as great
city and so necessary to all of us that
we cannot be unmindful of them, ever
though very few of us fully realize
the plight Of our unfortunate neigh
bors who are in dire need.
This year all of the agencies will
be compelled to meet unusually large
demands for services. Those which
handle relief will have heavy burdens
to carry, even though the abnormal
relief provided by Government is ex-
cluded. The goal is about 100000
more than last years amount. Even
this will not be enough. I shall be
happier about the present and future
of Washington if We go over the TOP

would mean about S2,250,000.
