of time and money and possibly OF

COURT RULINGS
AID DEMOCRATS
IN CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, May 20 (UP)-Re-
publican and Democratic leaders in
the developing fight for control of
the next house agreed today that
supreme court decisions invalidat-
ing New Deal laws had bolstered
Democratic campaign chances.
Assistant House Republican Lead
er Joseph Martin, r., Mass, said
the adverse decisions on NRA and
AAA were especially helpful" to
the Democrats.
They eliminated two issues which
could have been very damaging to
the Democratic party" he said.
Rep. Patrick Drewry. D., Va,
chairman of the Democratic con-
greSsional campaign committee, said
he believed decisions adverse TO the
New Deal, a test of which outlawed
the Guffey coal control act, had
"allayed uneasiness and controver
sy."
The decisions actually have
helped us a lot he said.
Many observers believe the major
battle of the campaign will be over
house control. They consider that
President Roosevelt now has the in
side track for reelection. The SEN
ate admittedly will remain Demo
