SEC. REQUESTED
TO DROP CHARGE
Counsel for Broker Makes
Plea on Ground Act Is
Unconstitutional.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Dismissal of manipulation charges
against Charles c. Wright, New York
broker, was asked before the Securi-
ties Commission today by his counsel
on the ground the securities and ex-
change act is unconstitutional.
Isidor j. Kresel, Wrights attorney,
denied validity of the act under the
fifth amendment of the Constitution,
stressing that the transactions charged
against Wright and his associates in
no way involved interstate commerce.
Wright is accused of manipulating
the common steck of Kinner Airplane
& Motor Corp on the Los Angeles
Stock Exchange.
Referred to Commission.
Kresers motiou was referred to the
commission by Edward c. Johnson, the
trial examiner, who said he could not
rule on it. Kresel accepted this refer
ence only on the ground that when
the commission did rule, it would be
conceded that the ruling had been
made before the proceeding started.
Johnson's ruling and Kresel's state
ment had the effect of continuing the
case without interruption.
Other counsel included Laurence A
Kahn and Leonard lockwood, repre-
senting various persons among the
defendants, and Walter w. Prayer
and Ganson Purcell for the commits

COAL COMMISSION
NOT OUTLAWED
McCarl Rules Body May Con-
tinue Certain Functions
Under Court Decision.

The National Bituminous Coal
Commission does not have to dissolve
under the Supreme Court decision in
validating the Guffey coal act, but
may continue to carry on those func-
tions not specifically outlawed by the
court, Controller General McCarl
held in a decision today to the Sec
retary of the Interior.
The commission now employs 160
persons and Chairman Charles F.
Hosford, jr.. at his office in the In
vestment Building today. said study
would be required to determine how
many of these would be kept on.
1t had first been feared that the
Supreme Court decision might auto
matically operate to throw out the
commission.
In his decision, McCarl pointed out
that the court had knocked out those
portions of the statute providing for
tax on bituminous, for formulation
and enforcement of the code covering
wages and hours and price fixing.
The court expressly stated, how
ever, he added. that validity of any
action of the act, standing inde-
pendently. on which it had not spe-
cifically passed would remain for
future consideration.
Because of this, the controller gen.
eral concluded, the wording of the
statute would permit the commission
to carry on two definite activities:
l. An investigation as to the neces-
sity for the control of bituminous pro-
duction and methods of such control
2. To make complaint to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission with re-
gard to any rates, charges, tariffs. and
practices relating to the transporta-
ton of coal in order to safeguard the
interests of those concerned either in
mining, transportation, selling or con-
sumption.
1T would thus appear" McCarl
said, that there are imposed upon the
commission certain duties which may
be exercised without reference to the
portions of the act nullified by the
decision of the Supreme Court, and
the continued existence of the
commission and the performance by it
OF the said duties are not mega
tived by the courts decision"
Therefore, he added, the commits
sion's appropriation for 1896 is avail
able for these necessary duties.

Action on ''Red Rider" Repeal
Halted by House adjournment
Death of Perkins Results in Loss of Dis
trict Day, Imperiling Chances
of SissOn Bill.

District had lost one of its regular
scheduled days several months ago.
The lost of the District day came
as a distinct blow to Representative
Sisson, Democrat. of New York. author
of the "red rider" repeater, who spent
all day yesterday completing prepara-
tions to lead the battle for approval
of his measure. He predicted a few
hours before it became known that
the House would adjourn early. that
his bill would be passed by sub
stantial majority.
In anticipation of heated battle
over the "red rider" a number of
school teachers, educators and high
school students crowded the galleries
of the House long before it convened.
There also were more members on the
House floor than ordinarily on District
day, in response to a plea sent out
last week by Mrs. Norton urging a
large attendance during debate on
the Sisson bill.
Disappointed over the failure Of the
House to take up the Sisson bill, Mrs
Norton said she would make every
effort to have it passed early in the
next session. if the District does not
get another day before adjournment.
Evening star., 1936-05-25

The death today of Representative
Perkins, Republican, of New Jersey
may seal the fate of the Sisson bill to
repeal the so-called red rider" BAN
ming the teaching in the Washington
schools of anything pertaining to
Communism.
Out of respect to the memory of
Perkins the House adjourned at 1915
O'Clock, forcing the District to lose
probably its last day of the current
session, thus preventing consideration
of the widely discussed Sisson bill.
However, Chairman Norton Of the
District Committee. hopes to persuade
House leaders to set aside q special
day within the next week for con-
sideration of the "red rider" repeater
and other District measures on the
calendar. She conferred with Speaker
Byrns just before the House convened
and was told that the District could
not have a special day unless the
present session extends beyond June g..
The leaders already have set a
precedent in this respect by allowing
a special day for disposition of the
Ellenbogen rent-control bill after the
