WJASHINGTON.-The conserva-
" tive u. S. Supreme Court ma
jority has burned its bridges and
assured a bitter-end struggle to
curb the powers which it has
assumed over congressional legiS-
iation. '......s
If Roosevelt is reelected, his
battle with the six justices who
have shown themselves griinly OPP
posed to the New Deal is likely to
be the most spectacular feature Of
his second term.
That, at least, is the opinion Of
his most. influential advisers fol-
lowing the decision against the
Guffey coal control act, with its
obvious inference that the Wagner
labor relations act is as good as
dead and the social security and
other legislation in grave peril.
The New Dealers are still hope
full that voluntary retirements or
other causes will enable Roosevelt
to fill vacancies in a manner
which would change the courts
complexion. co..
That coupled with fear of
dragging the constitutional issue
into the political campaign. is why
the real battle between the New
Deal and the court is likely not
to come before election.
| q; s You ican mark it down as a
strong possibility that some time
! within the next year there will be
more than nine justices. By a
| sinple act of Congress the presi-
dent would be enabled to appoint
three or four additional members
OF the court and to choose men
who would be more likely to line
up with Justices Stone, Brandeis
and Cardozo than with Hughes
Roberts, McReynolds, Sutherland
Van Devanter, and Butler.
Such a move, according to
srategists who whisper that it is
more than tentative proposal,
/ would be accompanied by official
assurance that the court would

r EAVING aside political aspects,
~ it can be readily seen that tbs
court majority has imperiled It's
position, by declaring industrial
production to be a local matter

In the case Of a demoralizea

To the Editor:
When the boys enlisted and
went to war in 1917, there were
all kinds of promises made as to
what would be done for them, if
they were lucky enough to return.
North Carolina is the. only state
in the union which has not had a
veteran for governor
The veterans are now asking
the citizens and voters of this
state to fulfill their promise of
1917 by electing "Sandy" Graham
for governor.
The veterans would not organ
izc and support Sandy Graham
merely because he is an eX-servicc
man; but they most respectfully
insist that he is thoroughly fitted
by training and experience. They
are familiar with his record as a
legislator and lieutenant governor
of this state. He is known to be a
fearless, efficient official, evel
watchful in all matters concerning
the citizens of this state. His
honesty and integrity as an off
cial and citizen is beyond re.
proach.
The veterans are honest in their
request. They sincerely feel that
"Sandy's" experience, training,
ability. character and past record
has fitted him for the governors

expression and does not mean,

other words the literal definition
of the ftle of the play "What

The EVERGLADES
In Southern Florida there is a
vast miasmic swamp where dead
Ily tropical insects, poisonous
snakes and big-mouthed alligators
are prominent citizens. The Sem
mole Indians while at war with
the United States army retreated
to the Everglades where they per-
manently evaded or resisted cap
| ture and control by our military
| forces. The Florida Everglades,
now being reclaimed, used to be
about as favorable to the lives
and the pursuits of white men as
are the vast lowlands of Ethiopia.
If Mussolini does not have better
success bringing the Philippians
under subsection and discipline
than the u. S. Army had with the
Seminole Indians, he will be out
of luck.

Challenge to
Originality

The chance to use a fine italian
hand to express individuality
comes in assembling the latest
fall accessories. The newest trend
is to have accessories subtly re-
lated. not painfully alike in every
detail.
Thus the bow motif, inspired
by autumn's dressmaker details,
establishes a clever bond between
a bow-tongue gored pump of Scot
green kidskin and companion
handbag with casually knotted

Further finesse is shown in a

If you will stop to think how
thin the metal strands of your
screens are, you will appreciate
just how quickly rust can destroy
them. It takes only one coat of
screen enamel year to keep your
screens in handsome condition
indefinitely.
A good time to apply this coating
is before putting them away for
the winter. Don't be annoyed by
unSightly screens. And remember
new screens cost considerable
