requires a two-thirds vote of both
houses of Congress to submit a con-
stitutional amendment to the States
for ratification. With the Presidents
backing. If it came, and a House and
Senate overwhelmingly Democratic. it
would appear that resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendment
could sail through Congress.
Repeal Speeded Through.
Immediately after the presidential
election in 1892, a resolution proposing
an amendment to the Constitution
doing away with national prohibition,
was rushed through, and the change
in the Constitution was brought about
in jigg time. If it could be done then,
it was argued today, it could be done
again. Attention was called also to
the constitutional amendment which
was adopted after the Supreme Court
had declared the first Federal income
tax law unconstitutional.
After the N. r. A. was killed by
unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court, its records, ETC., were trans
ferred to the Department of Com
merce. There something has been
done in the matter of studying the
various problems presented. All of
this material will, Of course, be avail
able for the use of the President in
considering with industrial and labor
leaders what should be done.
Some of the more radical New
Dealers are likely to demand that If
the law Of the land is to be changed
it be so amended that the Supreme
Court will be denied the power by q
majority decision to declare unconsti-
tutional an act of Congress. Others
may 60 so far as to demand that the
court be denied the right to pass on
such law at all. President Roosevelt
has made no commitment whatever
on the question of the Supreme
Courts right to declare an act Of Con-
gress unconstitutional by a 5 to 4 or
mere majority decision.
The Supreme Court during the first
New Deal administration killed other
laws In addition to the N. r. A., among
them the Guffey coal act which mas

Decisive Battle Seen.
A major and possibly all-decisive
battle for the capital apparently was
about to begin. %
The insurgent forces were reported
storming forward on the outskirts Of

rushed out to meet them.
Terrified residents of Madrid's sub
urbs swarmed into the city. fleeing on
foot and in damned street cars from
towns in which fierce Moorish hordes
led the Fascist charge.
The attacking army occupied Ge-
tate, 8 miles south of Madrid, and
Leganes, . mile closer to the besieged
city.
Grimly resisting Socialist gunners
poured shells into the villages in q
vain effort to turn back the attack.

lines.
Government war planes lowered
