Bankhead, Successor

Gives EuIogy
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A solemn, Sorrowful tribute was
paid to the late Speaker Joseph
w. Byrns today, with President
Roosevelt and other dignitaries,
including foreign diplomats. join
ing in reverent state funeral serv.
ices in the House chamber.
Mr.. Roosevelt bowed his head
as prayer was uttered for the
late House leader and stared
fixedly as speakers eXtoIled his
memory.
Throughout the brief but dig
nified services high officials and
members of Congress evidenced
their grief for the passing of the
genial, gaunt Tennesseean who
rose to hold the third highest
office in the nation.
Respected by All
The services reflected the respect
which all official Washington,
without regard to party or affilia-
lions, bore for the late Speaker,
whose death from a cerebral hem.
orrhage early yesterday shocked
the Capital.
The career of "Joe" Byrns, who
began life as farm boy but whose
good fellowship, keen mind and
interchangeable energy attracted all.
brought him rich reward from
appreciative fellow TennesseeanS
and colleagues in Congress
With Mr. Roosevelt, who planned
to accompany Speaker Byrns'
body to Nashville late today for
burial rites tomorrow, were Secre-
taries Stephen Early and Marvin
Mcintyre and his aides, Col. Edwin
| M. Watson and Capt. Paul Bastedo.

The body Of the late Speaker
lay in a huge, bronze coffin in
front of the Speakers rostrum.
from which he ruled the House
with a mixture of kindness ana
firmneSs.
Great banks of flowers, green
plants and palms almost covered
it. They came from colleagues.
from officials and from diplomats.
A touching tribute was paid by
the House page boys, who knew
the Speaker as Uncle joe" Their
nickels and dimes purchased a
large spray of roses.
Just before the services, more
than 400 members of the House
and Senate filed silently past the
bier.

PWA'S,P0WER
LOANS UPHELD

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
in District Supreme Court today
upheld the Public Works Admins
tration in the ALLEGATION Of tbs
funds to municipalities for the con-
struction of municipality owned
power plants.
Four utility companies had con-
solidated seven Injunction suits
attacking the constitutionality OF
the Administration "yardstick
program of setting up municipality
owned lighting plants in competl'
ton with those of private utilities
The suits involved ALLEGATIONS OF
funds to II towns in Oklahoma
Texas, Iowa and Alabama and were
only few of approximately 81
that had been awaiting action.
Three questions were involved
in the suits, Justice Wheat said
They are:
Did the plaintiffs have a
right to sue?
2-Are the acts Of Congress
under which the program is
working constitutional?
3-If the acts are conStitu-
tional, is the PWA acting under
legal authority?
The court held that both the
National Industrial Recovery Act
under Title 2 of which the pro
gram was inaugurated, and the
! Emergency Relief Appropriations
Act are constitutional despite q
ruling of the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Co
lumbia a month ago that the
housing provisions of the latter vi
olate the basic law of the land
The latter ruling. Justice Wheat
pointed out, applied only to hous
ing
The power companies involved
are the Alabama Power Company
Texas Utilities Company, the
Iowa City Light and Power Com
pany and the Oklahoma Utilities
Company.
