This does not mean that there are
not a lot of fragmentary notions tlut-
tering about the inner vacuum. Fore
most among these are various plans
for heavier high-bracket income
taxes, a permanent relief program,
etc. Most are considered to be po-
ltically unfeasible for the immediate
future. The next move seems to de-
pend on time and tide.
Reorganization Proposal.
Only people with good memories
will recall that President Roosevelt
sent letters months ago to Senator
Harrison and Chairman Doughton
asking them to have their staffs work
on N. r. A. reorganization during the
recess.
The only stats they hare are
the tar experts employed by the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Tdrdtion. This staff appears not
to hare oiven thought to the
N. r. A. In fact, nothing has been
done in the tUay of study, and
Doughton pill not be back from
the Philippines junket until De-
censber 20.
Note-The largest question in con.
greSSional circles now Is what woulc
happen if the Philippine boat sinks
The Vice President, Speaker and many
influential leaders are aboard. Also
there is idle but amusing speculation
70 DroriIor% =
60 about holding special session
for instance, to declare war, with mos
of his congressional bigwigs in the
Far East.
Rumors about a $4,000 900 Republi-
can campaign fund to beat Mr.. Roose-
velt are only rumors yet, but the ulti-
mate amount probably will be many
times that sum. Republicans are get
ing real green money now for the
first time in five years. Many indi-
viduals adversely affected by the New
Deal program seem to be eager to
contribute, some fixing their contri-
button at the amount of their cur
rent quarters income tax payment.
Movie Publicity.
The New Deal has monopolized
movie publicity for the past three
years, but the Republicans are also
edging into that now. One movie
producer is filming a story based on
the Constitution. Also the G. o. P.
headquarters is contemplating a series
of shorts, first of which is entitled
Freedom at the Cross Roads"

U. S. BRIEF RAPS DAVIS.

BALTIMORE, October 26 OP).-
John w. Davis and associate counsel
in an attack on the utility law were
charged by the Government today
with "an inc. ..lcable zeal to pervert
the plain meaning and intent of the
act in order to demonstrate its al
legged unconstitutionality"
The Government brief was the Sec
ond in reply to an action in Federal
Court in connection with reorganiza-
ton of the American States Public
Service Co. Of Baltimore. Davis, for
mer Democratic presidential nominee,
is an attorney for the companys
trustees, who contend the holding
company law is invalid.
Burco. Inc, creditor of the COM
pany, also purportedly is opposing
Davis. But the Government, acting
as a friend of the court and not as
legal party to the case. has asserted
Burco in fact, collaborated in "col-
luSive" way with the Davis group In
preparing an artificial test case.
Hits Test in Abstract.
Specifying it was discussing the
constitutional question only las
matter of courtesy to the court" the
Government noted the act has only
started to work. and asserted 1t can
not be fairly tested in its constitutional
aspect while it still remains a law In
the abstract and has not had a chance
to operate" The brief added:
''The judicial process is not
'brooding on the presence in the sky
The judicial process. avoiding far
flung generalities and theoretical ab-
stractions. has always confined itself
to specifically limited and concretely
understandable issues in actual con-
troversy."
The brief cited in detail the pur-
poses of Congress for passing the act,
and said:
"Yet opposing counsel has scoffed
at these recitals in order to divert
attention from the realities from which
the statute springs.
without Offering o scintilla Of
proof for his bald denial of the find-
ings Of Congress, counsel for the trus-
tees would ask this court to set aside
the considered conclusion of Congress,
based on years Of governmental inves-
legations, that the evils connected
with the utility holding companies are
widespread and persistent"
Commerce Angle Answered.
Asserting the business of holding
companies directly affected interstate
commerce, the brief argued:
Whatever be the general limits on
the commerce power, it is clear that
Congress is here dealing with a SUBJ
iect-like fraud, deceit and monopo-
ly-where the courts will sustain the
widest application Of legislative power
not simply to punish the use of the
channel Of interstate commerce for
unlawful purposes, but to prevent
those channels being used to create
and perpetuate conditions which, ex-
perience proves, leads to lawless-
ness,
I'm so far as we have been able to
ascertain no exercise by Congress Of
the power to exclude matter from the
mails has thus far been adjudged un-
constitutional"
Claims under the fifth amendment
that liberty or property is taken by
the statute without due process of law
were replied to with the statement
that ''it is firmly established that this
clause does not protect the liberty to
engage in business that the legis-
lative authority reasonably considers
inimical to the public welfare, or the
property interests of those who have
entered upon such a business"

What's What

New Dealers Stumped
on What to Do Next;
G. O P. Getting
Money.
BY PAUL MALLON.

A PERSONAL poll has been made
~ among the best New Deal
~ minds on the question What
4 \ comes after the breathing
spell?"
The answer seems to be that nobody
in the New Deal knows. At least no
mind could be found with any ideas
regarding new reforms beyond those
already started, although there are
plenty of yet unexpressed thoughts
harbored by New Dealers for expan-
sion of the reforms already initiated
For instance, the money muddle
will have to be Strengthened out
eventually. but no one has any clear
notion yet as to what can be done.
Coming reorganization of the Federal
Reserve Board may strengthen new
credit and banking policies along lines
already projected, but no new legisla-
ton is now considered possible. The
social security program will be ex-
panded next year, or the year follow
ing. The AAA crowd has not the
slightest notion what it will do il the
Supreme Court throws out the process
ing tax system, or what the ultimate
permanent farm policy will be.

In accordance with the custom
of past years, the trophy itself
went to the school of the cadet
who made the highest score in
