TURNS NEW DEAL FOE

When he came to the Senate in
 1855 he had the support of his col league, Senator Nicely. He was in-
 dorscd by West Virginia coal min
 CTS and had won a reputation as a foe of 'the power interests"
 The big battle over power was at lleast temporarily disposed of with
 passage of the holding company bill soon after Holt was seated.
 Before the.la Congress adjourn
 ed Holt had alienated Nicely by ac-
 cusng him of converting the relief machinery of West Virginia into a state political organization. In ad- Idition, he turned the United Mine
 workers against himself by filibus- tering against the Guffy coal bill. ! He found an issue of sorts in what he termed political use of WPA funds in his state; but except for attacking Administrator Hopkin S for failing to open a sweeping in- vestigation of the West Virginia situation, he did not carry the issue far outside the state borders.

JOINS COUGHLIN FORCES

Yet young Holt has made his name well known over the country, sufficiently so that it was headline material when he was chosen in keynote the convention of Father Couhlins National Union for So- cial Justice.
 His selection by Coughlin and his expressed sympathy with the social unions program seems to turn the spotlight upon him as the one to speak for it in the Senate.
 But the Union advocates 16- point program ranging from bank reform to fair wages, a lot of ter ritory for one Senator to cover.
 While the New Deal seems cer- tain to be the dominant issue in the coming Congress, there will be much interest in what young Holt does for himself.

He posted $3.50 appeal bond.

BALTIMORE. Md. November 21.-
A committee appointed by the State
Planning Commission to draw up a
development program for the Wash
ington- -Annapolis-B Baltimore area has
virtually completed the first stage Of
its work, it was announced today by
Maj. Joseph w. Shirley, committee
chairman.
The preliminary report of the COM
mittee, which is to be released shortly
by Abel Wolman, head Of the plan
ming commission, Is largely con-
cerned with an analysis Of the area
rather than with definite program
of improvements, Maj. Shirley ex-
planned.
THE report we have completed
said Maj. Shirley, sis simply a pre-
liminary affair. Our work was divided
into two parts-one, to see just what
the situation is in the area; two. to
draw a definite program that might
be undertaken.
No Definite Recommendations.
1--WE have made no definite recon-
mendations except in a very general
| way.
There is still some data to be
gathered on the first phase of the
work, as matter of fact, but we
are getting ready to start on the
second half as fast as possible"
The report already submitted. to
Mr.. Wolman. 1t was said, takes up
the questions Of highways, State
owned property, Government-owned
property, city-owned property and air
ports.
The committee has considered ques-
tions concerning Fort George G.
Meade, the governmental experimental
station at Beltsville, the model town
at Greenbelt and that occupied by
the University of Maryland.
Questions concerning recreational
facilities in the area, forests and re-
forestation projects and water re-
sources also have been taken up, said
Maj. Shirley, and will be considered
again when the group gets to work
on definite plan of development.
Analysis of Area.
II would like to emphasize, he said,
that our work so far has been devoted
mostly to an analysis of what we
have in the area. rather than making
any definite recommendations about
what We ought to have in the future.
That problem is what We are begin
ming to take up now"
The committee was appointed a
year ago. Other members include Mr.
Wolman, Nathan Smith, chief engi-
neer of the State Roads Commission: !:
Brig. Gen. Amos w. w. Woodcock.
president Of St Johns College: John
Nolan of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, and Philip
Perlman.

planning group for Montgomery and

NEW DEAL CASES
IN COURT HANDS
Justices Discuss Decisions
and May Make Them
Known December 7.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated treSS.
Five New Deal cases rested last
night in the hands of the Supreme
Court, with decisions on all OF them
possible by December Z.
At their usual Saturday afternoon
conference, the nine justices had their
first opportunity to discuss what their
decisions will be on three of these
cases argued before them during the
past week.
This newly presented litigation in
volved:
/. Directly, a presidentially imposed
embargo on arms shipments to Bolivia
and Paraguay during their recent
Chaco war. Indirectly, Government
attorneys said, the constitutionality Of
the administrations broad neutrality
act.
2. The Ashurst-Summers act re-
quiring that prison-made goods be
labeled as such. to prevent their ship
ment into States which ban their
sale.
g. The 50-per cent tax on silver
profits before the silver purchase act
became effective.
Utilities Cases Pending.
Previously taken under advisement
by the court were cases involving the
right Of P. w. A. to make loans and
grants for publicly owned hydro
electric plants and whether the Gov
ernment can defer trial in lower
courts of many cases challenging the
constitutionality of the public utility
holding company act. Delay in the
lower court tests of the holding COM
pany statute has been asked pending
a final decision on Government case
against the Electric Bond g. Share
Co.
On December 7, decisions also may
be forthcoming on constitutionality of
the New York employment insurance
act and on whether the Associated
Press is entitled to an Injunction to
restrain Radio Station KVOS Of Bel
lingham, Wash, from broadcasting
the the press associations news until
18 hours after publication.
Justice Stone, i'll of dysentery, was
absent from the justices conference
today and it was said at his home
he might be away from the court
several weeks more His recovery was
reported slow but constant.
Opinions May Be Given.
Opinions in seven non-New Deal
cases argued during the two weeks
ending October % are possible Mon
day. along with announcement as to
whether the court will review a score
of disputes appealed from lower
courts.
The latter include an appeal by
Angelo Herndon, Cincinnati Negro
Communist organizer, in an effort to
escape an l8 to 20 year chain gang
sentence imposed by Georgia courts
under statute enacted in recon-
struction days to prohibit insurrec-
ton against the State.
Another petition-now somewhat
out Of date-was fled by Illinois
Communists to compel State officials
to place the name of the Communist
candidates for President and Vice
President on the ballots for the
November election. 1t reached the
court too late for action under normal
procedure before the election.
The court will adjourn after its
brief session Monday to devote the
next fortnight to writing opinions.
