NRA VALIDITY
TEST BLOCKED
Lumber Case Withdrawn
From Supreme Court
Docket After Plea

WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP)
The administration succeeded in
avoiding a test on the validity of
the NRA yesterday when the su-
preme court granted plea OF the
government to withdraw the Bel
cher lumber case from the docket.
1t was q strategic move on the
part of the administration which
does not want to risk having the
recovery agency declared uncon-
stitutional at a time when new
legislation is being formulated to
continue NRA's existence for two
more years.
The Belcher Lumber company
was accused of violating the min
imum wage and hour provision Of
the lumber code. The Belcher
case was tried before Federal
Judge William /. Grubb in Blrm-
ineham. He upheld the lumber
company and ruled that NRA was
unconstitutional so far as it APP
piled to that concern.
The Belcher attorneys tried to
obtain a promise from the gov
ernmen, that all indictments
would be quashed, but the gov
eminent refused.
The senate finance committee
which is holding hearings on NRA
legislation. was told yesterday by
Harry A. Babcock, investigator
for the federal trade commission,
that members in the mechanical
rubber goods industry "consplred
to fix prices on fire hose" before
they got their code. Among those
protesting against the frozen
prices on fire hose, Babcock said,
was Mayor F. H. LaGuardla OF
New York.

The. New Deal legislative program
has been delayed so greatly that
no adjournment of congress is in
prospect until midsummer, Mi
nority Leader Charles L. McNary
said in the senate yesterday.
The question of when congress
will adjourn is one that pops ur

Critics of congress intimate that
as soon as the lawmakers quit leg,

work in earnest. Consequently q
pessimistic utterance like Nc,
Nary's called for an administra'
ton reply, and Majority Leader
Joseph T. Robinson didn't over
look it.
Delay, he said, could be traced
to senate and house committees
that have been unable to act on
New Deal measures.
A survey of New Deal measures
today, as congress entered its
fourth month, showed the follow
ing major bills still in committee

report of the bill as revised, how,

WAR AID TO SOVIET
NO PACT VIOLATION

LONDON. April 2.-(UP).-
Great Britain was reported last
night to have given Russia assur-
ances that this government could
discern no violation of the Locar-
no treaty if France should attack
Germany in event of German ag-
erosion against an eastern Euro
pean country.
If this declaration, understood
to have been given Maxim Litvin-
off, Soviet foreign commissar, by
| Captain Anthony Eden, in Moscow
last week bears the approval Of
the cabinet, it further clears the
path for Frances entry into a mu-
tual assistance alliance with Hus-
STA and Czechoslovakia.
1t was expected this issue would
be one of the vital topics to be
submitted to the cabinet when
Eden returns, following talks IN
Warsaw and Prague.
Assurance by Britain of such
an attitude toward Locarno doubt
less would 60 far to destroy Fran
co-Russian fears that the British
might impede military cooperation
between them in the event one or
the other is attacked. Eden's as
surances were given orally, but
may eventually assume documen-
tary form.

u. S. SUPREME COURT RULES
NEGROES MUST SIT ON JURY
OR ALABAMA MEN BE FREED
Further Interpretation of
Decree Is Made; Ala
bama Officials Are
Silent
WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP)

WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP)
The two most important decisions
affecting the rights of negroes
since Lincoln's emancipation proc
lamation were contained in the
supreme court documents made
public Monday.
The court upheld the right of
negroes to serve on juries but
held valid the Texas primary law
prohibiting negro participation in
Democratic primary elections.
The drastic restriction on the
exercise of franchise by negroes
right of franchise guaranteed by
the emancipation proclamation of
three quarters of a century ago
was unchanged by the Texas case,
In setting aside the death SEN
tence of two Scottsboro negroes
for assault the court ruled the in
dictments were invalid because
negroes are systematically barred
from jury service in Alabama.
The effect of the court ruling
is that nine negroes, charged with
assault on two white women, must
either be released or retired by a
jury drawn from a panel includ-
ing negroes.
There was tension inside the
capitol yesterday as justices filed
in and took their seats. Outside,
800 radicals were marching up the
hill, singing and carrying placards
demanding "Save the Scottsboro
Boys" Police were waiting at the
top of Capitol Hill for them and
when the courts opinion was read
in the hushed chamber there was
heard the noise of placards being
ripped to pieces outside, and the
singing, bitter fumes of tear gas
was in the air.
The radicals were routed and
retreated back down the bill, just
as word came out that the SUI
preme court had saved the lives
of the negroes by ruling that they
had not been afforded time to
hire lawyers.
The girls involved in the case
are Victoria Price and Ruby
Bates. Both delivered damaging
testimony against the negroes at
the first trial, and then the Bates
girl disappeared. One morning
months afterward, when the ne
groes again were on trial she
walked into the Alabama court,
room and announced she wanted
to repudiate her testimony. Hell
conscience had been too heavy fol
her, she said, and a New YORK
minister had advised her to GO
back to Alabama and tell the
truth.
The defense of the negroes As
that several white youths also
were on the freight train and tna'
the negroes and the whites had q
fight. The negroes charged that
the white boys trumped up the as
sault charge against them De-
cause they lost the fight.

FRENCH DEPUTIES
OKEH AERIAL ARMY

PARIS, April 2.-CUP).-The

The project, part of Frances

Air Minister Victor Denain,

1900 fighting planes, many of
which are now old-fashioned. He
promised a modernized air force
equal to Germany's by the end OF
