Public Sentiment was caught
mapping by Personal Government
several months ago.
In the dead of winter when the
thoughts Of the people were TO-
cused upon the rlgors Of the
weather and the impending at
tack of former Governor Alfred E.
Smith of New York upon the rec
ord of the Administration the time
seemed opportune to do what Per
sonal Government had been long
planning.
This was nothing less than to in
stall in the seat of the President
of the Senate the vice manager of
Personal Governments national
campaign for reelection, in the per.
son of the Honorable John Nance
Garner, the Vice President Of the
United States.
Apparently it was thought smart
as well as strategic at the begin
ming of the campaign to tighten
the grip of Personal Government
on the reinS by which it drives both
Houses of Congress to perform its
arbitrary will.
And the doc1le friends of Per
sonal Government in the press
seem to have kept exceedingly
quiet about this cunning maneuver
BURIED"
When the future historian
writes his authoritative account
Of 1.-THE Rise and Fall of Per
Sonal Government in the Federal
City (1933-193D", he will turn
to the newspapers of January
last and will find the newspapers
which carried this sensational
piece of news at all buried in
on their inside pages. They
didn't give it even a two-line
head.
Their bureaus at Washington
either overlooked the item alto
gether or for reasons OF theil
own failed to give it that con
venient prominence which it will
receive when the verdict of his
tory is handed down on this
eXtraordinar period through
which the American people are
now passing.
But more astounding than thu
failure of the press to drag intC
the light the real significance o.
the conScription by Personal Gov
ernment of the Vice President o.
the United States to serve as cam
paign vice manager was the Supin(
silence of the members of the Sen
ate before this challenge to thC
dignity and independence of tina
citadel of Liberty and Justice.
The minority leader of the Sen
ate made no protest against thl

Court Fight Certain

Employers will contest the Un- employment Compensation and Old Age Benefit sections of the act in the courts. Are they "constitu- tional"2
 All you, I, or anyone else knows about that may be expressed in Q remark Chief Justice Hughes once made when he wasn't on the bench:
 We are living under 8 Consti- tution, but the Constitution IS what the judges say 1t is."
 Justice Owen J. Roberts, reading @ 6 to { opinion, last spring held that the Railroad Retirement Act violated the due process and inter- state commerce clauses of the Con- stitution. He was vigorously dis- puted by Hughes.
 Which really means that you can write constitutional opinion either way on Social 6ecurity-aIad that the court undoubtedly will di- vide on 1t.
 Many New Deal lawyers feel Rob- erts, who was once considered an essential part of the courts "lib- eral malority"-which is non-exist- ent without him-in effect barred himself from approving any nation- al social security measure.
 It is worth remembering that the act can hardly be tested before 1887. when the Treasury starts cole Iectlng taxes. And if ono of the five "conservative" judges passes from the picture in the meantime yalidation of Social Security will bf e good bet.

A prison term, Q jail sentence and . suspended prison sentence were given yesterday in superior court to three New Britainites who plead- cd guilty to theft of several miles of copper wire from property of the New Haven railroad in Cheshire. The three were arrested in Cheshire Sept 26th after constables and state police had set up Q 24-hour Q day vigil to trap the thieves.

Lewis recommended sus. pending of sentence in Kotkin's case. .
 Budnlck, described as tho ring leader in the wire thefts, was found to have been arrested in Willimantic for theft and sentenced to Btate's prison for from four to Ave years.

Inducement Given States

The Idea is that no state will want Co sec that money taken by the treasury when it might be spent ct homo and that employers would rather pay for compGnsa- ton systems for their employees than give their money to Wash- ington.
 At the Social Security Board they're figuring that any Of those 70 states which don't act in 1030 will Do just throwing away that per cent tax on payrolls which will be collected In i037. The ans nual federal tax is expected to run up to e000, ,000, 1000 by i0b0.
 Another inducement offered the states is the provision that the government will pay all costs of state unemployment compensation systems and is appropriating 94,- 100000 for such use in the fiscal year 1886 and S40,000,000 c year thereafter.
 The federal tax will be collect- cd by the Bureau of Internal Rev. enue just as if 1t were an income tax. The state tax in most casea where laws are passed will be col- lectible in 1887 for the taxable year i036.
