Brain Trust Legislation.

Brain trust legislation has not stood
the test either of constitutionality or
practical value The Supreme Court
decision invalidating the Guffey coal
act follows in some degree the conten-
ton of the court in the N. r. A. case.
1t provides, however, cumulative evil
dence that the Roosevelt brain trust is
not grounded in the law or in the Con-
stitution.
The two main pillars of the New Deal,
as conceived by the brain trusters, were
the National Industrial Recovery Act and
the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Both
of these measures have been knocked
down by the Supreme Court on the
ground that they violated the supreme
law of the land. Before the decision
of the court in the N r. A. case, how
ever, industry and business and much
Of labor were finding fault with the act
and its administration. The farmers
were complaining bitterly about it. The
A. A. A., although its benefit checks were
welcomed by many of the farmers, was
alternating the housewife and the general
consumer of foodstuffs. Furthermore,
the economy of scarcity which under
lay application of the A. A. A. was
making more difficult American agricul-
lures bid for world markets, and at the
same time increasing importations of
foodstuffs.
The brain trusters have gone on the
theory that the Constitution was elastic
enough to permit their experiments in
legislation and government. Their con-
tention has been that the Constitution
could be stretched to cover their plans.
The Supreme Court has dealt them re-
Bluffs. The score is decidedly against the
brain trusters. Even in upholding the
gold act, under which the United States
repudiated the gold clause in its bonds
and its currency, the court excoriated
the administration because of its vio-
lation of contracts and permitted the
act to stand merely because it had not
been proved the plaintiffs had suffered
damage. The court also upheld the
T. v. A., in the main, although it left
certain questions still TO be settled as
they may arise. In addition to the de-
cisions invalidating the N. r. A., the
A. A. A. and the Guffey coal act, the
court handed down adverse opinions in
the "hot oil" case, the railroad pensions
act and the farm mortgage moratorium
act.
Perhaps the Congress itself, if it un-
dertook the job, could frame its legis-
lation more in accordance with the Con-
stitution and its limitations than the
brain trusters have been able to do. 1t
might be worth trying. Even now the
Rural Resettlement Administration,
headed by brain truster No. i, Rexford
G. Tugwell, has been challenged sue
cessfully in the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia. And there is
serious question as to whether the Con-
gress has not gone too far in delegating
power to the President and to Harry L.
Hopkins in the matter of spending public
funds.
The idea that laws passed by Congress
should be drafted by the administration
brain trust and that Congress should
sign on the dotted line is proving to be
neither advisable nor workable.

Psychologists have a duty to perform

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
After Hours

Driving far out long, white road
After the stress of town.
Far from roof garden and supper club
Where they will dance and clown,
Seeking a deeper, stiller night
With the days sun gone down.
Following quiet roads that wind
BY meadows green and fallow,
Where moonbeams with their shadows
play
On brooklets gay and shallow,
And here and there twittering
Sounds from a nesting swallow.
Driving all night, meath wide, wide skies.
Cloudless and blue and deep;
Letting the peace that Nature gives Z,
Thru soul and body creep.
In the gray dawning driving back
Rested by more than sleep. II

Music has always been credited with
a soothing influence on disquieted minds.
Power, however, needs direction, and no
means has been devised to provide a
super-orchestra to calm the troubled
spirits that may haunt the instrument
talists themselves. Many an opus car
ries with it through all time the turbu-
lent influence of a heart break.

Even the most devoted admirer of
youth would hesitate about favoring

The New Jersey Republican primary,
which voted strongly for Gov. Landon
of Kansas, undoubtedly has strength
ened the hold which the Kansas Gov
ernor is gaining on the presidential
nomination. However, 1t was expected
that Landon would carry the primary by
a considerable vote over Senator Borah.
He had with him the entire Republican
organization of the State. And to that
extent the Jersey result may be dis
counted as giving Landon finally the
nomination. There are still great many
uninstructed delegates, particularly from
the populous States, Of the East and
Middle West, who must be reckoned with
at the national convention. II the Re-
publican State convention In Texas
should give Landon an Endorsement, and
the big Lone Star State delegation should
60 to Cleveland prepared to vote Tor the
Kansan, the pushover would be nearly
complete. Or If Indiana Republicans
In their convention on June should
take similar action, the chances OF stop
ping Landon would be almost inflni-
tesimal.
Gov. Hoffman of New Jersey, although
he won out in his contest with Franklin
Fort for delegate at large to the Re-
publican National Convention, suffered
q considerable blow to his prestige. He
ran lowest In the list Of the four dele
gate at large candidates, put forward
by the Republican organization, and
Fort rolled up vote of $4,000, regarded
as q protest vote against Hoffman be-
cause of his activities in the Bruno
Hauptmann case. There is suspicion
that Hoffman would have had tough
time beating Fort II it had not been for
Democratic support.

ANSON|A CLUB
 AT HOPEv|LLE
White Flashes to Help Speedboys End Home
 Season Tonight

The Hopeville Speedboys basket ball team concludes its home Sea- son tonight in a feature game of the weekly double -header, held under the auspices of the Hopeville Community club, with the Ansonia White Flashes as opponents. The Copper City outfit is rated as one of the best clubs in the valley. They were runners-up in the past two state journeys held !n this city but this year failed to reach the semi- final round, losing out by a few points against the Manchester Rangers who also took the meas ure of the local Boys Club Cadets during the past week. The White Flashes will be making return showing at the "ville" surface, early in the year they defeated Ray French's shooters by decisive margin. The Speedboys failed to present their regular outfit that night, due to illness in their ranks but with several practice sessions under their belts, this week, they expect to even the series. The White Flashes present very form idable lineup headed by King Kong" Larry Fair, giant forward, who receives the tap to feed his mates with ease, Kelly and Stock ing, diminutive but fast shooting forwards, with Pavilchnik and Musante in the back court. Charley Seplaski and Murphy will be held in reserve. Manager Ray French expects to start Heine Koch and Harry Dubuque as the forwards with Big Dave" Bartolini opposing Fair in the center circle, the guard positions will be taken care of by Roy Dubuque and Alex Nazzarella.
 The preliminary. game starting at 7:30 brings together the Wash- ington Hill Juniors and the Hope- vile Juniors in Q game which should prove appetizing to the early patrons. Mandy Green will handle the main game, with danc- ing following.

Bud Geoghegan
 To Open Highland Course Saturday

With a good sized group of Wa terburians, many of them his pu- pills, sure to be on hand tomorrow afternoon, given good weather, James J. Bud" Geogiegan will open the 1036 golf season ct the Highland Country Club in Mer- iden, where he has been club pro- fessional for several years. But" as he is popularly known to Connecti- cut golfers, has been eIninently suc- cessfui in the conduct of a winter golf school in this city for the past two months or more, which he will keep open until April 20th in addi- ton to his outdoor work at High- land.
 Knows His Stuff
 0eoghegan is . genuine exception to the rule regarding good golfers being good teachers of the game, for 1t is seldom that . good golfer is Q good teacher, and vice versa, but the Meriden professional has the knack of impounding sound golf knowledge into any type of player, which is reflected in his success in SO short . time since coming to Waterbury on a commercial basis. AS a player, Bud" has more than held his own, though his opportun" ities to participate in tournament play throughout the state has nec- essarily been lessened by the amount of work that confronts him in con- nection with his daily work as teacher of the game.
 Golf's "G" Men
 However, last season 0eoghegan teamed up with Bobby Grant of Wethersheld late in the season in time to win tournaments at Yale, Mil River, Wee Burn and Danbury in which he had scores of 72, Fl, and 73 to take low gross honors, in the pro-amateur events in which he took part. Tn "open" golf play at Springfield, But flnished sixth with 140 during the Western MasSachu- sets play, was second in the High. land Open with 147 and third in the Connecticut P. c. A. championship at Rockledge last season. Grant and oeoghegan, tagged the 70" men of the Connecticut links took . best ball count of 85 at Yale for an eight stroke edge over Q fine field.
 Record Maker
 Geoghegan has turned in several course records in his five years as Q professional. He carded Q sensa- tional 68 at Highland, 64 at West Hartford Country Club; 64 at the West Hartford Country Club; 68 at Goodwin park, Hartford; 60 ct Manchester Country Club; 60 at the East Hartford Country club, and g 68 at the Meriden Municipal which still stands as a course record.
 A squad of workmen are busy preparing the course at Highland for the opening Saturday. A special recreation field of two acres will be cleared for outings this season at Highland.

 Meet HOvey

Because of their ability as crowd pleasers, and the fact that they have boxed two even Stephen decisions to date, Spec Wiley, the lanky lam. baster from Union City will tangle once more with Pete Alberts, the "wild bull of Oakville" in one of two main bouts at this evenings preser1- tation of ten amateur boxing bouts by the Yankee Division Veterans Association at Buckingham Hall.

Sam Maltempo, also of Lillirnantic who disposed of Spec Wiley on the last card will meet Art Toplaus of New Britain tonight while Dick Turcotte of this city will have arl- other challenger to his record of wins in Chuck Harris of New Bris tain.
 Kolln and Hovey %
 Vic Gallait of New Britain and Jack Carlson of Meriden are paired while Emil Eeetrs of Town Plot and Jackie De Pace of New Britain will have 1t out. Nat Kolin of New York and George Hovey of Willimantic should provide another feature of the show in a return bout that was signed by request of many fans who saw the boys fight to 8 standoff on the last I'D card. Frankie Marinelh of the North End and Andy Brellis, also of Waterbury will show in the first or second bout of the evening.
 Demand for tickets in advance of the show, has given Matchmaker Jack Cleary and his aides reason to expect a capacity crowd as Q result of the card of sizzling action which the fans last attended.
