Hanson Indicates Apneal.

Elisha Hanson, attorney for Hearst,
indicated after Chief Justice Wheat's
ruling that he would appeal and take
the matter to the United States Su-
preme Court if necessary.
Seizure of the kilograms constituted
larceny. Hanson charged. in urging
their return.
Hanson said the investigatory powers
of the Senate were not sufficient TO
authorize the committee to commit
larceny or TO conspire with another
agency of the Government to commit
larceny in its behalf or TO make public
the contents Of the plaintiffs messages
in plain violation of the plaintiff S
rights under the first, the fourth and
the fifth amendments
Clashes With Judge.
Clashing with the judge, Hanson
contended Congress has no right to
inquire into the business Of the press.
He argued that the Senate's power of
investigation is a corollary to its right
to have adequate information upon
which to base legislation, and that it
has no power to enact any law which
would restrict newspaper publishers
right ito influence, encourage, promote
or retard legislation"
Harris told Chief Justice Wheat he
came before him mot as a suppliant
asking favors or relief, but as an am
bassador from coordinate and equal
branch Of the Government to call at
tention of the court to certain legal
principles"
The Federal courts have no jurisdic-
ton over the Senate or Senate Com
mittee, Harris maintained, and may
not interfere with the constitutional
prerogatives Of Congress.
Judge Halts Harris.
Stating he had heard enough along
this line, Chief Justice Wheat stopped
Harris after he had been speaking
about As minutes. and asked attor-
neys for the Federal Communications
Commission, co-defendants with the
committee in the injunction suit. to
present the position of that body.
Hampson Gary, general counsel Of
the commission, and Carl Arnold, as
sistant general counsel, then began
their arguments.

ant. almost perfunctory attitude has changed.
Since the New Deal has tried to alter so radi-
cally the basic form of our Government, any and
every opinion is headlined, subjected to de-
tailed scrutiny and frequently challenged by the
ardent advocates of innovation.
The justices themselves are, of course, not in
politics. But nearly every decision they hand
down is regarded In terms of what effect 1t will
have in the campaign, and becomes a topic for
partisan argument, much as If it were a pro-
nouncement Of policy by one Of the candidates.
The Importance of this ruling lies In the i'm
plication that the majority of the court will

No tax bill ever was considered un-

this one. Not only the generals ran
out on it. Even one Of the colonels
(Oliphant), the author of the original
scheme, let innocent Col. Helvering
carry the load in appearing before the
House committee.
Likewise, no specific plan was sub
mitted. The hearings were held before
a bill was written, so the witnesses
could not really know what they were
talking about.
Old guardsmen who know say that,

a campaign against the organization

The Black Committee has plenty Of
personal enemies in the House, be-
cause it has put number of House

cause two Democrats refused to vote.

press similar charges against Regis

OUINTUPLETS HAVE
VISIT FROM BROTHERS

The Dionne quintuplets played
with their brothers for the first time
last week.
Ten-year-old Ernest Dionne and
Daniel, four, paid their first visit to
Dafoe nursery and played with their
sisters for an hour. They had not
seen them since the quints were
moved to the nursery from their
home across the road in Sept. 1884.
Ernest took the visit calmly at
first and was content to watch his
famous sisters from distance. Dan
iel got right down on the nursery
floor to frolic with them and it
wasn't long before mechanical toys
caught Ernest's interest and all sew
en- were playing together.
Then they sat around a table and
Ernest tried to show his sisters how
to write. Olivia Dionne, father of the
family, gathered up the pieces of pa
per with the quints' scrawls and is
keeping them as souvenir OF the
visit.

Death Valley Scotty
Builds Fine Kitchen
Kitchen to $2,281, 900 Castle Cost
as Much as Hollywood
Bungalow

There's gold in them thar potts."
Death Valley Scotty told the new
Filipino chef at his 1921, 900 castle,
where he seldom eats or sleeps.
''But it take a good man to know
how to git it OUT said the desert
mystery midas. when you know
how to rustic these pots and pans
you can pan the pay dirt in a kit
chen longer than most fel1ers can
pan gold in these desert mountains. !"
The castle kitchen cost as much as
Hollywood bungalow. Tiles i'm
ported from Spain enclose the gas
range and form the elaborate drain
board and sink, together with an
fashioned tiled-in well.
Handtooled FURNISHED copper ket-
ties are lined up in profusion. Heavy
handcarved beams form the ceiling.
At one corner is the breakfast nook,
with a table accommodating twelve
built out of four inch oak.
But Scotty is more fond of the lit
tie gas stove in his hideway shack
five miles down Death Valley. He is
a wizard at cookery, but INDUCES
only for himself or a particular
friend or two down at the shack.
1--WE spent aplenty for food in the
best places of the country, but fancy
food amt any good for anyone"
said the 61-year-old desert roamer,
whose spending antics for the past
35 years have been astounding.
He is actually plain eater, light
eater and an irregular eater. He us
ually eats twice day, whenever he
feels like it. Every meal is dinner"
Meat, potatoes, bread, black coffee
with plenty of sugar, eggs and bacon
are his staples. He rarely touches
fresh fruits or vegetables. He pushes
away salads. But no dessert is too
rich for him.
Roast chicken, SQUAD, quail or
duck, delicious baking powder bis
cults, fruit pies and cakes and sad
die blankets" his famous flapjacks,
are among his dishes that have in
spired talks from Death Valley for
thirty-odd years.
Scotty is proud of his cookery.
That's why the kitchen in his castle
is the best and most colorful that
gold could create. But having built
it, as with the castle, Scotty is salts
fled that it's there.
''I'd rather be cooking out on the
rocks" he said.
