lo1&AAQAAASCA @AAS 0eA - - Clayton previously had contri- buted S1O,OOO to the Liberty League, and was emphatically against Roosevelt. It is a good bet that he would not make the change unless he thought Roose- svelt was Q sure winner.
 One Washington representative of WALL STREET recently went up to see his bosses to advise them which way the tide was turning and that 1t was wise to get in line.

But among his recent callers have been CLARENCE DILLON, WALL STREET invest nneut banker, and MYRON TAY- IOR.. head of the giant UNITED STATE STEEL CORPORATION and director in c half-dozen other powerful firms.

 He didn't want 1t known that his wife and children were mov- ing back to New York, leaving him to lead Q bachelors life In Washington. But the story got out through an indiscreet driver of . moving van.

 Four months passed before hearings were called. Then six months more passed without Q verdict. Finally, two weeks ago, aged Judge Burlington asked NLRB to come to Philadelphia for additional discussion.
 The high point in that discus- sion was reached when the boards counsel, Charles Fahy, made some reference to the com- merce clause in the constitution.
 "What clause?" quer'ed Buff fington, his hand behind his car.
 "The commerce clause, Your Honor," said Fahy.
 ''Where is that in the conStI- tution?"

 Fahy produced a copy of the constitution. and read. "The com Rrcss shall have power to regu- fate commerce with foreign na- tons, and among the. several states and with the Indian tribes"
