j. S. HELD READY.
TO REST A.A.A. CASE.
Illness of Reed May Cause
Abandonment of Oral
Arguments.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoclateo FTeSS.
The Justice Department appeared
ready today to rest its defense Of the
Bankhead cotton act before the Su-
preme Court on its printed brief al
ready submitted.
This would mean its abandonment
of the oral arguments interrupted yes
terday when Solicitor General Stanley
Reed became ill. Reed had planned
to proceed today, but remained at
home instead.
His illness, at the close of two tense
days of defending the administrations
farm program before the high court,
prompted the consideration of letting
the Governments case stand on the
written argument.
It also was learned Reed, who was
expected to remain at home for at
least three or four days, would face
only one other New Deal test in the
Supreme Court before Christmas.
Wideman to Appear.
Frank j. wideman, Assistant Attor-
ney General in charge Of tax cases, will
defend the A. A. A. amendments alone
on December 16.
Previous plans had indicated Reed
would participate in this case, affect
ing Louisiana rice millers, as well as
the one involving T. v. A., soon to be
heard.
Argument on the cotton act was
halted at Ais pm. yesterday when
the solicitor general suffered a faint
ing spell as he was being questioned
by the justices.
Friends attributed his spell to the
intensive work in preparing four New
Deal tests. which he planned to argue
personally within a To-day period.
IS Minutes Left.
The Government still had As min
utes allotted for argument on the
Bankhead case, while opposition coun-
sci had Is.
Reed had not been on his feet long
yesterday when the attack came.
I'm sorry, I shall have to postpone
further discussion" he said as he stag
gered to a seat and put his hand to
his head. Chief Justice Hughes gavel
fell, adjourning court Is minutes early.
Spirits of ammonia were applied to
Reeds nostrils and he was rushed
home.
Earlier in the day, Reed had heard
George Wharton Pepper, counsel for
the Hoosac Mills of Massachusetts,,
shout that the A. A. A., the New Deals

COURT TO ADVISE
CONGRESS URGED
Constitutional Legislative
Tribunal to Be Pushed
by Lonergan.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

A constitutional legislative court
to act in an advisory capacity to Con-
gress and the President will be pro-
posed by Senator Lonergan, Democrat
of Connecticut, when Congress as
sembles in January, it was learned
today.
Senator Lonergan predicted an in
creasing amount Of legislation touch
ing on constitutional questions, in
making his announcement.
The court as proposed by the Con-
necticut Senator would be composed
of nine members, the same number as
the Supreme Court. The President
and the House and Senate Judiciary
Committees each would name two
members. Republican and Demo-
crat in each instance. The three
remaining members would be selected
from a list of Federal judges who
had served for at least 10 years on
the bench. This would have the effect
of leaving the balance Of power in
the court in the hands of these three
Federal judges.
One-Third Vote to Submit.
The new proposal advanced by Sen
ator Lonergan indicates again the
interest in constitutional questions,
aroused particularly by New Deal
legislation. Lonergan has been
supporter Of the administration.
Senator Lonergan explained that all
legislation introduced in Congress
bearing on the Constitution would be
referred to the advisory court, if it is
set up, by a vote of one-third OF either
the House or Senate. The President
could submit his legislative proposals
and those originated by members of
his cabinet. The decisions Of the new
court would be merely advisory and
in no way binding. There would be
no attempt to interfere in any way
with the functions of the Supreme
Court of the United States. That tri-
bunal would continue to handle the
cases arising before it as usual.
The Connecticut Senator rejected
the idea of granting to the Supreme
Court itself this advisory power on
legislative matters, a plan that has
been advocated by Gov Hoffman of
New Jersey. Lonergan gave that idea
consideration and obtained the views
of prominent lawyers and educators
on the matter. He found them op-
posed to it on the ground that it
would bring the Supreme Court into
the realm OF legislation and in the
end might subject the court to criti-
cism. So there will be no attempt on
the part of Lonergan to change in
any way the status of the Supreme
Court
Among those whom the Senator
consulted in the matter were: DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, DR.. James

BALDWIN REVERSE
ENRAGESLEFT|STS
Most DishonorabIe Deal"
Laid to Fears for
Status Quo.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

| 6s SdUlG " Lie OldI
LONDON, England, December IL
All those who voted for the peace BAL
lot, all the Left-WingerS and Labor
ties, all the people who believed in
the League of Nations and trusted
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, are
seething in bewilderment and indig-
nation today as details of the most
dishonorable deal" in the history Of
British foreign policy became known.
The national government went to
the country and got an imposing man
date on the promise to back up the
League, enforce sanctions against
Italy and make fair settlement Of
the Ethiopian war.
The plan conceived by French Pre-
mier Pierre Laval and Sir Samuel
Hoare, British foreign secretary, ac-
cording to details which have leaked
out in Paris, is nothing more nor less
than a direct betrayal of these prom
ises, it is felt.
Government Embarrassed.
The government itself Is embarrassed
at this somersault and plenty of Tory
back-benchers are perturbed and dis
tressed Sir Samuel himself has dis
appeared in Switzerland on vaca-
ton, leaving Baldwin TO face the
music in the House Of Commons and
giving Capt. Anthony Eden, minister
for League of Nations affairs, the in
vidious task of running his reputation
as a stanch pro-Leaguer by defending
the settlement to the outraged small
powers at Geneva.
Prime Minister Baldwin is none too
happy and critics agree that his lame.
half-hearted speech yesterday in the
House of Commons was the worst in
his parliamentary career.
He sat. gloomy and respondent, ate
no dinner and seemed the picture of
black despair. He said, as clear proof
of how miserable he felt:
'I grant that our prestige is great.
Members have said it may be impaired
by what has taken place tonight and
by our action. hope not 1t may
be So"
League Wreck Feared.
Ihen ne proceeded 10 the OmlnOuS
admission that the Hoare-Lavai deal
may wreck the League. This at least
is the current Interpretation Of his re-
mark; This House and the country
nay well have to consider what, in the
light of what they have learned, they
may be able to do in furthering the
work of the League of Nations in the
future"
Capt. Eden, who seemed to be groan-
ing with misery, ended weak apollo
getic speech by asking for latitude in
a task which no one can envy me-"
The House divided on labor motion
against the Kings speech, something
which has not happened in many
years. The vote was 281 for the gov
ernment and 139 against, which was
comfortable enough margin, but by
no means as big as the national gov
ernment's majority warranted.

Accusing two former Internal Rev

tax consultant of "nefarious scheme"
to defraud the Government in the Nc
Carter income tax case, Assistant
United States Attorney George E. Nc
Neil today asked jury in District Su-
preme Court to convict the three of
conspiracy.
Mcneil began closing arguments for
the Government after the defense had
sprung a surprise by failing to place on
the stand the last of the three de-
PENDANTS, Frank B. McElhill. New
York tax accountant. The latter'S al
legged accomplices, John W. Hardgrove,
former assistant chief conferee of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and Hen
ming r. Nelson. a former auditor Of
the bureau, previously had testified.
The case was expected to reach the
jury later today.
Bribing Held Not Question.
Mcneil declared it is not the con-
tention of the prosecution that the
Government lost any money or that
any one was bribed as result of the
alleged plot to fix" Thomas N. Nc
Carter's income tax case for fee
of $4,000.
This was a conspiracy" Mcneil
declared, Ito defraud the Government
by depriving it of the faithful, honest
and efficient services Of two Of its en-
ployes, Hardgrove and Nelson. The
law states that the Government is en-
titled to faithful and honest service
from those who take the oath of an
employe and to deprive the Govern
ment of this right is as much Of q
crime as to defraud it of money"
