but so subtly and so skillfully that
most Of its adherents do not
realize that it is being challenged.
Before we criticize too sharply
persons who are hard up for the
necessities Of life, but who do not
make gardens on vacant city lots
when they have the opportunity
to do 50, we should make sure
tina THE rights Of vacant-lot gar
deners will be protected.
Here is what happened 20 one
energetic man who tried t. make
acant-lOt gardens pay last sum-
mer. As soon as his stuff had
grown to the point where it was
worth something, other persons
who had not been as industrious
and far-seeing as he, began to
prey on his produce. He discov-
cred one day that "neighbor"
had tethcTcd a cow SO that it could
feed OF the cornstalks and the ma
turing ears. He found another
COW running loose in another one
Of his vacant-lOt corn patches.
AS soon as the green corn was big
enough to eat, two-legged animals
made heavy inroads on it. Out Of
a large patch of beans, he salvag-
ed only one mess. After the corn
was too old to eat green and was
drying in the field, boys wantonly
pulled about 200 ears from the
stalks and threw them to the
ground.
As each of these misdemeanors
occurred, the man reported it to
the police, from whom he received
neither help nor encouragement.
If city governing boards would
have needy persons farm vacant
lots, they should have ordinances
that would adequately protect
such farmers; and they should see
to it that those ordinances are
strictly enforced.
There is no incentive for a man
to plant garden when he knows
that the fruits of his toll will be
stolen. or mischievously destroyed.

New Deal Silent
Under Fire From
Opposi ti Il
Fresh Alta ok S Charge
Fantastic Theories as
to Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP)
American Liberty League and the
United States Chamber of Com
merce directed fresh attacks
against the New Deal over the
weekend, charging failure of the
administrations "half baked"
theories, demanding curtailment
of Oppressive tax rates.
The league listed as Fantastic"
theories of rural resettlemcnt,
Alaskan colonization, subsistence
homesteads, the National Youth
administration, NRA, jobs for un-
employed, the AAA and monetary
policies.
The New Deal is in the midst of
a political "quiet hour" and its
foes are swarming TO attack the
Roosevelt program as the first big
skirnish in the 1886 election.
Against these forays the New
Deal is silent. President Roose-
velt's advisers have decided the
nation needs a rest from politics.
That thought was in their minds
when he dropped out Of sight for
q month on his cruise from the
west coast through the canal. This
weekend all White House news
sources were silent and the presi-
dent cruised on the Sequoia. Soon
Mr.. Roosevelt will leave for Hyde
Park and after that he will go to
Georgia, his adopted state.
Other New Dealers are confin-
ing their activities to the routine
work of their departments. This
does not mean that they intend to
keep silent through the campaign;
it merely indicates that they want
to give the electorate a rest before

NEW YORK, May % G.Ns).
New York business leaders today
displayed a marked variance of
opinion on the notification of the
MIRA codes by the Supreme Court
ruling yesterday.
One group of prominent execu.
tives stated the decision was a
good thing. that prices will go
lower and encourage consumption.
thus paving the way for an ad.
vance in business as a whole.
Bewilderment
other business men expressed
concern over possible develop
mentS, with inauguration of wage
cuts with resultant strikes and dis
orders feared in certain industries.
The general air of bewilderment
was reflected in a noticeable let.
down in ''uying activities in fall
merchandising needs.
The Worth Street district, CEN
ter of the great cotton goods trade
in New York, witnessed an almost
instantaneous halt in buying. Or.
ders for gray goods or unfinished
cloths stopped Immediately, while
mills withdrew prices and buyers
halted pending orders.
A few of the comments by out
standing business leaders follow:
Peter Van Horn, chairman silk

dent of the National Federation Of
Textiles, Inc:

excellent opportunity to take

While Senator Harrison and
some other Administration leaders
were optimistic over the posi-
bility Of enacting a new NRA,
some New Dealers doubted the
wisdom of the action.
A member Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, who has
been working closely with Mr..
Richberg on legal aspects of a
new NRA extension resolution,
said:
81 think this writes finish to
that type Of legislation. 1t
would seem to be q difficult
matter to write a law that will
stick. don't believe that regu-
lation Of wages and hours in
factories would be valid"
Suggestions were made that
Congress might virtually write
MIRA codes into lava law going
into the detail Of a tariff act.
But it also was questionable
whether this would be practical.
Expansion of the Federal Trade
Commission also was suggested,
since the Federal Trade Commits
sion law, prohibiting unfair com.
petitive trade practices, has been
upheld by the court.

And, jealousy enough, the court
reserved for itself the right to
pass upon the question of what
was and what was not interstate

The positive language of the
court in these cases bodies i'll for
such New Deal legislation as the
social security program, involving
old-age pensions and unemploy-
ment insurance; extension of the
AAA, the abolition of utility hold
ing companies, further regulation
of transportation mediums, and
