Der feared buried in an
avalanche of tons of mud
and trees that roared down Mt.
Roberts, hundreds of reScuers
worked feverishly today to hack
and dig their way through wreck
age and muck.
Mrs. Gust Erickson, Negro, wife
of a laborer, was the only known
victim. Her husband, first report
ed killed, was injured.
Two apartment houses were
buried in mud as the slide came
down the side of the mountain
with a terrifying roar.
Four persons were reported TO
have been standing in a street
as the avalanche plunged down at
7:30 p. m. Sunday.
The spot was covered with mud
and trees piled 20 feet high and
100 feet wide.
Houses were demolished and
rescuers had to cut their way
through smashed furniture. The

was the result of torrential rains.

legislation required under the new
federal social security act.
The court was divided four to
four, Justice Harlan F. Stone be-
ing too ill to participate In the
decision.
Because of Stones liberal ten
denotes it was believed almost
certain that the New York law
will ultimately be upheld by a
majority opinion if new cases are
brought before there is any change
in the present personnel OF the
court.
The courts decision today does
not set a precedent for future
cases because of the lack OF
majority either for or against the
law.
There was no way of telling just
how the court divided in the Sc
cret deliberation which resulted
in the decision.
II was assumed, however, that
the four consistent conservative
justices Willis Van Devanter,
James C. McReynolds, George
Sutherland, and Pierce Butler vot-
ed against the law and that Chief
Justice Charles Hughes and owen
j. Roberts had been won over on
to the liberal side consistently oc-
cupied by Justices Louis j. Bran
dis and Benjamin N. Cardozo in
c,,nynrt nf tho law
Social security officials, overJoy-
ed at the decision, expressed the
opinion that the supreme courts
action indicated unemployment
compensation laws in IL other
states and the District of Colum-
bia would be upheld.
Social security officials also be-
lieved the decision would stop
other states to enact job insur-
ance laws and start cooperating
with the federal government in
it's attempt to protect working
people against future depressionS.
Officials were frank in saying
an unfavorable decision would
have dealt legal blow to all forms
of social security, including the
old age benefit program now get
ting under way.
