BY the Associated Press.
ABBEVILLE, Ca, February a.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first
primary contest for denomination
takes place next Wednesday in q
South Georgia county.
His opponent will be Georgia's Gov
einor, Eugene Talmadge, who has
been making speeches in the East and
Middle West calling on the Democrats
to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt for renomina-
ton.
Without waiting for the Talmadge-
controlled State Committee to an
nounce its decision on a Statewide
primary, Democratic voters of Wilcox
County, of which Abbeville is the
county seat. arranged for a presi-
Dental preference in the county pri-
mary.
The names of Roosevelt and Tai
madge will be on ballot separate from
the candidates for county officers
The ballots will be put in separate
boxes.
1--WE didn't consult either the Tai
madge or the Roosevelt backers." said
J. P. Futch, a member of the County
Democratic Executive Committee
1--WE merely acted in the interest OF
economy and to give our people a
chance to express their choice"
A county preferential primary is
not binding. In the event the State
Democratic Committee calls a State
wide primary, delegates would be
elected to State convention, which
in turn would select delegates to the
Philadelphia convention.

of Notifications, Japan would like the
United States not to build defensive
works in the Aleutian Islands.
The Washington treaty provided for
non-fortification agreement in
order to compensate Japan for accept
ing the 5-5-3 ratio on capital ships.
Since that treaty was supposed to
provide for equal security in the Pa

that it would be only fair to offset

inundated territory.
It will start at a point in the north
of Israel's land and will emerge at
Akaba in the Red Sea, port which
has been much improved in recent
years.
The all-British canal presents the
advantage that it can be fortified, is
close to the military and air bases in
Palestine and Egypt, and its use can
be denied to other nations in case of
war when British airplanes might ac-

Government Lawyers Hail Decision In
Buzzards Ro0st Project.

Buzzards Roost Project.
Jubilance ON the one hand and a
muetd claim of victory on the other
were elected from Government law
yers yesterday after decisions in a
Charlotte, N c., court on municipal
power allotments and the utility hold
ing company act.
The Public Works Administration
said it would cooperate with the Duke
Power Co. in expediting to the Su-
preme Court an appeal from the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals de-
cision that P. w. A. might 60 ahead
with construction of $4,000, 900 elec-
trio plant at Buzzard Roost, S. C.
Regarding the decision by the same
court in the utility holding company
case. however, Government lawyers
said:
Mot a death fall for either side.
Both sides can claim a victory in the
decision"
The court ruled the holding COM
pany act was invalid insofar as organ
izations engaged in intrastate activi-
ties were concerned. but that the lower
court should not have called the whole
act unconstitutional
Constitutionality Ignored.
From reports of the decision, Gov
ernment lawyers said the court had
apparently passed over" the question
OF constitutionality of the act, ruling
only on its applicability to the Ameri-
can States Public Service Co.
The Government was not a party to
the suit, but appeared in court as "a
friend of the court" The Government
has no power to appeal the case to the
Supreme Court, but lawyers here be-
lieved the case would be appealed.
This appeal might interfere with
Government plans to try the consti-
tutionality of the act before the Sl-
preme Court in its suit against The
Electric Bond e. Share Co., in New
York. That case has not yet been
decided in District Federal Court.
P. w. A. lawyers said they assumed
the Duke Power Co. would file an i'm
mediate appeal from the decision in
the other case.
Otherwise, they said, construction of
the 100000 plant will get under
way.
Ickes Is Silent.
Secretary Ickes, who testified per-
sonally before the District Court in
the case, was silent. but his legal aides
said the case was of "the greatest i'm

numerous other court attacks on

This Changing World
Japan's Offer to Maintain Section of Defunct
Washington Naval Agreement Brings Smiles
to State Department Officials.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

YAPAN with a magnificent ges-
ture has offered to maintain
, that section of the defunct
~ Washington naval agreement
dealing with Notifications of the vari-
GUS islands in the Western Pacific.
The gesture OF the japanese tDas
received With broad grin in
Washington.
For the last four years the Japanese
government has been busy fortifying
the inundated islands. They have
become now formidable submarine
bases. Some of them can shelter and
repair cruisers. Formosa-which is
not included in the treaty-but is so
close to the Philippine Islands-is an
almost impregnable fortress. 1t has
been, for all intent and purpose, closed
to civilians and foreigners. Like the
inundated islands it is prohibited
area. The few points where intru-
ders are allowed to land are so SUI
pervised by the police and the secret
service men that foreigners life is
made intolerable.

NEW YORK, February 22.-The
very nature of the New Deal and its
opposition brought the Supreme Court
and the question of constitutional re-
vision into extraordinary prominence.
Thus far there is no definite assur-
ance the question of revision will be
directly at issue in the coming presi-
Dental campaign. But the possibility
impends.
It was expected from the first that
certain New Deal measures, such as
N. r. A. and A. A. A., would reach
the United States Supreme Court.
When the Supreme Court declared
the national industrial recovery act
unconstitutional. President Roosevelt
declared the decision represented a
"horse-and-buggy-days" conception of
the Constitution.
Revision Talk Is Open.
Proponents of the New Deal fire.
quently compared the N. r. A. ruling
with the Dred Scott decision and
talked of the necessity for revision.
But the President has made no public
suggestion that the Constitution be
amended to give the Federal Govern
ment more power.
To continue the labor provisions of
section IA of N. R. A., the admins
tration put through the Wagner labor
disputes act, which now is undergoing
the test of constitutionality in the
courts.
When the court threw out the ag-
ricultural adjustment act, the White
House made no comment. but set to
work drafting substitute farm legisla-
ton.
At the basis of both the N. r. A.
and A. A. A. decisions is the old ques-
ton of the rights of the States. The
constitutional guarantee of State rights
Is as follows:
THE powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are re-
served to the States respectively, or to
the people"
Tenth Amendment Potent.
This doctrine is not in the original
Constitution. 1t was put into effect
itself by amendment. 1t is the tenth
amendment, drafted by the first ses-
sion of Congress.
Under the Constitution, it can be
replaced by another amendment.
Down through the years, in ques-
tions concerning the Constitution and
the Supreme Court, there is inconsist-
ency. The court reversed itself in
the legal tender cases. Its decision
in the Dred Scott case was completely
wiped out by the thirteenth, fourteenth
enacted the eighteenth (prohibition)
amendment and repealed it by the
twenty-frst.
Constitutional change is an old story
to America.
The N. R. A. decision was unani-
NOUS. In the A. A. A. case the JUS
tices were divided. 6 to 8. Such divi-
sions have brought up companion
question of limiting the courts power
by act of Congress.
Senator James Pope, Idaho Demo-
crat, has introduced measure re-
quiring at least 7-to-2 vote in de-
claring acts of Congress unconsti-
tutional.
But how far will the court go in
recognizing the validity of acts passed
to limit its power?
1t is a many-sided problem-the
constitutional problem. The voters
will hear much more of it before elec-
ton day.

for Women in
Criminal Roles

Society is responsible for women
criminals, Mrs. Marian Gallup, In
diana Women's Prison superintend-
ent, believes. Mrs. Gallup spoke to-
day before the Parent Teacher As
ISOLATION at School TT on 1.-THE HUI
man Aspects of Prison Life
Though society is made up OF
many different types, those of LIS
who are interested in making laws
have our own people in mind,' she
explained.
Women criminals have decreased
in number in Indiana in the last
three years, Mrs. Gallup said.
Few Women Leaders Now
There are very few women lead
ers in criminal activities. Yet near
ly every professional male criminal
has at least one woman assistant,
and nearly every woman criminal
has at least one male partner.
The real woman criminal is bold
and cruel. Her reform is difficult
and her chances for readjustment
following a prison term usually is
impossible in her home commun-
ity."
Mrs. Gallup explained society's
problem as control of behavior for
social ends, giving at the same time
individual freedom.
