THOSE WHO PREFER Relief
(FrOm Philadelphia Inquirer)

(tTOm Phlladelphia InquirerJ
The policy of compelling registra-
tiOn of relief recipients on penalty
of being dropped for refusal to ac-
cept a prOffered job is to be COM
mended, and should be adopted.
Our deepest sympathy can be
felt for those cOnscientiOusly look
ing for work without finding it. But
there is accumulating evidence that
many attach themselves to relief
rolls or remain on them in pref
erence to accepting employment in
private industry.

KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT

All of this noise and fury about
how the Supreme Courts decision
on the MIRA has "set the country
hack" to such-and-such a date is en-
tirely foreign to the matters al Is
/ sue. To say that the decision turned
the Nation back to the horse and
buggy era" falls short. for the SIM
nle reason that the decision went
much further back than that. II
went right back to the Constitution.
The Nations highest court was
unanimous in its Interpretation OF
the Constitution as it relates to dele
CATION of power and jurisdiction
over commerce. The Court merely
performed. its duty as it understood
its duty. The American people will
not quarrel or find petty fault with
the Court for so doing.
AS to the provisions in the Con
stitutiOn that made such a decision
necessary, the Presidents the Con-
gress and the people are we'll within
their rights when they discuss
whether amendments adopted in an
orderly fashion are advisable IN the
light Of modern Americas needs.
But 1t is narrow, out Of order, and
entirely unworthy to heap criticism
aud hurl implications upon the Court
because ii failed 10 hold that the
Constitution authorized such an ex-
pansiOn OF power as was exercised |
in the creation and administration Of
the National industrial Recovery 1
Act. To do so Is as Inappropriate
as Il would have been for the Court |
TO berate the Administration on some I
question not involving the Constitu-
tion.

former Chief Justice of his States

Mr.. Raughley estimated the loss
