Two questions must be answered by
the court, Hogan told Chief Justice
Wheat. These are, he said, whether
the subpoena is unconstitutional and
whether the plaintiffs, If the subpoena
is invalid, are entitled to an injunc-
tion.
Attacking the constitutionality Of
the subpoena. Hogan quoted the fourth
amendment to the Constitution, which
states that "the right of the people
to be secure In their persons, houses,
papers and effects from unreasonable
searches and seizures shall not be vio-
lated
Assuming the. proposed action by
the committee is invalid. Hogan said,
1t is clear from recent decisions by
the United States Supreme Court,
voiding various New Deal legislation,
that the courts have power to protect
the rights Of citizens by injunction.
Closing his argument, Hogan said
that in the last analysis the questions
presented by the case are extremely
simple. He outlined them as follows:
rs ours any longer a free country?
Are the most sacred guarantees Of the
rights of the people. written in the
Constitution. any longer effective? If
those guarantees still exist, are the
courts Of the United States impotent
to enforce them?"

The attack Of Prof. Ray Moley upon
the Presidents current tax program
has brought to light that 1t is an
old modified plan of the brain trust" +"
having originally for its purpose the
redistribution of wealth.
When the brain trusters originally
surrounded Mr.. Roosevelt in his pre-
convention campaign, it is learned,
the idea of disintegrating the sur
pluses Of corporations was foremost
in one groups mind. In the light of
present events Prof. Moley was ap-
parently against this, and with his
conservative nature opposed 1t for all
he was worth. Those who are In a
position to know say this explains
his present outburst against the pro-
gram in Vincent Astor's magazine,
Today. This magazine was originally
set up with the avowed intention of
supporting the New Deal. Mr.. Roose-
welt has been frequent visitor on
Astor's yacht, the Nourmahal. Al
though at times Moley. who Is the

somewhat critical of New Deal poll
cies, his attack upon the tax pro-
gram is looked upon as a definite break
with the administration and as a
definite split Of the original brain
trust.
Strategy Under New Light.
Moley's attack. along with the dis
closure that the present program has
been in the minds of the brain trust
ers all along, throws particular light
upon the situation in view of the

COPELAND URGES
JUVENILE AID BILL
Explains Measure Would
Change Court to Pro-
tect Children.

Enactment of q more modern Ju-
venile court law for Washington was
urged today by Senator Copeland,
Democrat, of New York in a state
ment explaining the bill he has just
introduced on the subject.
Having as its main purpose chang
ing the court from one of criminal
procedure to one of equity or chan
Gerry. the measure is identical with
one introduced earlier in the session
by Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee.
1T protects delinquent children and
their parents from the stigma at
tached to criminal procedure" Cope
land said I'm doing this, it gives the
child as we'll as the community a bet
ter break. 1t gives legal sanction to
the treatment of children as delin-
quents rather than as potential GRIM
inals. This change opens the way for
friendly, human understanding and
adjustment of the causes that lead to
Juvenile offenses. 1t provides civ
tlized procedure in line with that
which prevails in most juvenile courts.
THE purpose of the Juvenile Court
Is not to punish, but to save the
child and prevent his development
into a criminal. Under the treat
ment that once widely prevailed
large proportion of juvenile delin-
ouents became habitual criminals.
We want to prevent this tragedy with
its social costs and damages. BY the
change from criminal to chancery
procedure we will help to do this.
Young children will not be brought
before the court as would-be criminals
on trial. They will be protected by
private hearings conducted infor-
mally, with only parents and other
directly interested persons present.
Every effort will be made to under
stand the condition which helped to
cause the offense. The staff of
Juvenile Court will act as sympathetic
helpers rather than as mere officers
charged with enforcing laws against
children. They will consult with
parents and in every possible way
seek to settle situations amicably and
in the best interests of children,
parents and community"
Copeland said the bill has the in
do:sement of large number of local
organisations and follows the standard
act drawn up by a committee of en-
1nent jurists.
The New York Senator said he had
been impressed particularly by mem
orandum from the District League Of
Women Voters, describing the purposes
of the bill.
One of the new authorities given by
the bill would enable the court to COM
nit children to qualified end suitable
private institution willing and able to
assume the education and care of the
child.

There is also a good deal of talk

that may mean.
If war can be avoided now, 1t is
certain that it cannot be avoided for

vantage over her potential foes is
increased.

Germany has made her rearmament
policy a fine art. The German air

factories put together.
According to reliable information,
there are today in the Reich sufficient
component parts for building 10000
airplanes. They have not been built
because there are not enough hangers
to accommodate that number.
But in the event of war there is
no doubt that the capacity of Ger
many to replace the lost airships Is
