COLTAX. Calf, January l6.-Fn-
teen injured men told today OF escape
from beneath an avalanche OF snow
which crushed a steel coach OF
transcontinental train near Donner
SUNNI, in the Sierra Mountains. ..
Tons of snow, sodden with recent
rains, plunged down mountainsioe
through snowsheds protecting South
ern Pacific tracks and engulfed the
third car from the rear of the train,
the Pacific Limited.
The car had been chartered by a
Salt Lake City group en- route to an
automobile dealers convention at Oak
land, Calf.
Three men suffered serious chest
injuries. They are j. c. Stevenson,

THE roof of the car had come
almost down upon us, leaving space
about two feet wide and seven feet
long. We couldn't figure out what
to do, so We just lay there. After a
while we thought We heard voices
We started yelling back and forth
and finally made out that nobody
had been killed. although several of
the boys said they were hurt.
Il guess it must have been about
two hours when We heard what
sounded like humping and we all
began yelling. A fellow came crawl

had a fashlight and told us to follow
him. We craWled out the passageWay

Colonies. It Is a doctrine, he said,
that grew up with American law.
Before John Marshall wrote his
famous opinion in Madison vs.. Mar
bury. the Supreme Courts in nine Of
the States had declared the doctrine
that q statute held in contravention
with the State constitution must be
declared void. Two Of these opinions,
he pointed out. were written at the
very time the convention which
framed the Constitution was In session
at Philadelphia.
The sole way Of preserving SO much
of the New Deal as is in conflict with
the Constitution Is an amendment to
the Constitution. And yet the head
and forefront Of the New Deal has
not asked for such an amendment.
There has been dynamite. politically
speaking, in earlier attacks upon the
courts. It is only "a years ago that
another Roosevelt lost his chance
of winning the Republican nomination
and probably election to the prcsi-
dency because he made speech de-
claring for the recall of judicial
opinions" by vote of the people.
When Col. Theodore Roosevelt enunci-
ated this doctrine at Columbus, Ohio.
in 1912, many Of his stanch support
ers threw up their hands. It split
In two, for example, the Massachusetts
delegation to the Republican National
Convention, when he might have had
the entire delegation favoring his
nomination.
Jackson Defied Court.
Much has been said recently about
Andrew jackson. He had his Strug-
gle with the Supreme Court and de-
fled the court when 1t handed down
a decision in a Cherokee case. He
told the then Chief Justice to go
ahead and enforce the decision. II he
could. The Chief Justice replied that
OF course the court would do no
such thing. And there 1t stood. But
Andrew Jackson never denied the
right and power of the court to
adjudicate or to hold a law uncon-
stitutional.
The proposals to make it impossible
for the Supreme Court to hold law
unconstitutional unless the entire
court or two-thirds of the court or
more concurred in the opinion, when
simmered down, amounted only to
giving to one Judge or to a minority
of the court the right to declare
law constitutional. If it is to be
required that the court unanimously
hold a law unconstitutional to make
the decision effective, is it any more
reasonable than to require a unani-
nous vote of Congress in support Of
laws which may impinge upon the
Constitution? That is the position.

members of Congress deny fatty the
right or the power Of Congress to
enact laws preventing the Supreme
Court from passing upon the con-
stitutionality of a law. That right
they insist, is written Squarely into
the Constitution itself, and any at
tempted law to limit the court in
such case would of itself be uncon-
Stitutional.
What does the Constitution say, as
it is now written? Article III, Sec
ton /, reads in part: The judicial
power of the United States shall be
vested in one Supreme Court, and in
such inferior courts as the Congress
may from time to time ordain and
establish" In section Of the same
article, it is written: THE judicial
power shall extend to all cases, In law
and equity, arising under this Con-
stitution, the laws of the United
States. and treaties made, or which
shall be made, under their authority"
Law Always Vulnerable.
With the full judicial power so
granted to the Supreme Court it ap-
pears that the courts right to pass
upon the constitutionality of law.
when it is charged by a citizen that
the law violates his constitutional
rights, cannot be questioned. 1t would
be as correct to say that citizen
may not challenge a law as to say
that he cannot find a trih'' before
which to adjudicate it. me Con-
stitution was designed to protect a
single citizen as we'll as all the Cit
| liens, to protect minority as well
a majority, and to safeguard him In
his rights.
No greater authority on the Con-
stitution, no one more converSant with
the history and decisions Of the Su-
preme Court is to be found in Con-
gress today than Senator Borah Of
Idaho. Writing in the current issue
of the Red Book the Idaho Senator
said:
"The power to void an act of Con-
gress on the ground that it is un-
constitutional is plainly and unmis-
takably conferred by the terms of the
Constitution. I understand perfectly
that whenever the court renders a
decision of great moment, holding
that statute is in conflict with the
Constitution and therefore void, John
Marshall is again summoned to the
bar of public opinion and denounced
as usurper. That has been going
on for over 100 years. No greater
myth was ever paraded before an
intelligent people"
The Idaho Senator declared that
in the convention which framed the
Constitution It was repeatedly stated
that the courts would be bound to-
hold statute void when found to be
in conflict with the Constitution. This
power Of the courts, he said, was ex-
plicitly stated in the articles written
by Madison and Hamilton, known
as the Federalist, urging the adop-
ton of the Constitution.
Many Early Acts Voided.
Before the Constitution was ever
written, Senator Borah said, over 500
acts Of Colonial Legislatures were held
void by the courts of those days, when

which will end in war. and then. when
italy has been smashed, to turn the
Tories out of ONCE at home because
they have been responsible for another
conflict which by that time will have
become unpopular.
For the young Tories and for the
Socialists, alike, the League Of Ma
tionS is a means to an end which
has nothing on earth to do with inter-
national peace. but everything to do
with party or class interests. Thanks
to skillful manipulation. Eden has
already used Geneva as springboard
to the foreign Office; patiently he hopes
to reach Downing street at the next
bound. Meantime, however, world
peace remains the foot ball of British
domestic politics, as it has been, in
fact, ever since Baldwin and Hoare

sity to win the last general election.

a 1Ck1GIOoehA4SV Va
concert and recital music in the
United States is already under
way, according to Nelson Eddy,
brilliant young American baritone
of concert, radio and the screen,
who made his recital debut in
washington last season and who
will appear here again next season
at Constitution Hall as one Of the
attractions Of Mrs. Dorothy Hodg-
kin Dorsey's first Sunday after
noon recital series.
In a recent Hollywood interview
with a correspondent of Variety,
Mr. Eddy declares that radio and
the screen are popularizing classic
music in America like no other
media have ever done. His OBJ
servationS are based on q concert
tour recently closed, during which
Mr.. Eddy gave 81 performances in
four months.
Mr. Eddy says that his own
optimism about concert music IN
this country is shared by every
other concert singer Of note who
is frequently heard on the radio
and from the screen. In this
group he mentioned Nino Mar
TIM. Gladys Swarthout, Lily PonS,
Grace Moore. and others.
The screen, in particular, has
developed a new concert. field,
says Mr.. Eddy, among those who
never before ventured into an au-
ditorium to hear Mozart, Rizet,
Brahms, and other masters.
"I would say that at least 25
per cent of those who heard me
on last winters tour were getting
their baptism Of concert music"
said Mr.. Eddy. 1T is a mistake,
however, to play down to that
class when one Is making up pro-
grams. For my part, I propose
to make my concert programs
more classical as time goes on"
When asked of the songs that
he sang in the screen productions,
which probably drew the Is per
cent, Mr.. Eddy replied, II re-
ceived lots Of calls for Indian
Love CALI and Rose Marie but
I delayed these until after the
formal program had been sung.
Then I sang what they expected
to hear. In this way, the classi-
cists heard the type Of program
they had reason to expect from
concert artist, while those who
sought a more popular idiom were
satisfied"
This renaissance Of music is re-
ceiving a great impetus with the
announcement that the San Diego
Symphony Orchestra will feature
