CHARLOTTE, N. c., January 4.-F.
Brandon Smith. jr., marshaled his
forces tonight for renewed assault
on the Cannon Textile millions for
$3.50. .0co heart balm he claims be-
cause his erstwhile father-in-law ar
ranged a Hot Springs divorce for his
wife, Anne Cannon Reynolds Smith.
Counsel for the young Charlotte
real estate man, who won a S125, 900
jury verdict at the first trial of the
case only to have it set aside as lex
cessive," said several new witnesses
would be produced at the second trial
docketed for Monday.
Sensation Is Hinted.
They declined to discuss the expect
ed new evidence, other than to say
some of it might prove sensational.
Possibility that the hearing might
be shore of the high lights of its prede-
cessor was seen in the statement by
counsel for Joseph F. Cannon, wealthy
Concord defendant, that his daughter,
former wife of the late Smith Rey-
nolds of tobacco fame as well as OF
Smith. might not appear.
She and Cannon were the chief
defense witnesses at the first trial
Recently she underwent an operation
In Philadelphia, where she had en-
gagged in social work since her divorce
two years ago, and she was reported
in Miami now, recuperating.
At the fist trial she testified her
father had not influenced her deci-
sion to divorce Smith: that she had
never loved him, but had married
him after her divorce from Smith Rey-
nolds and about the time Reynolds
married Libby Holman, Broadway
blues singer, to establish a home for
herself and her small daughter, Anne
Cannon Reynolds, I'd.
Smith Claims Young Romance.
Smith, however. contended their
marriage was the climax of a boy
and girl romance which had only been
recessed by her marriage to Reynolds.
whose death under mysterious circum-
stances a few months after his mar
riage to Libby Holman was finally
listed as suicide.
Smith also contended that Cannon
coerced Anne into the divorce by re-
fusing her the custody Of her daugh-
ter, who had been reared by its grand
parents. unless she came home to live.
Testimony on bath sides was re-
plate with stories of wild parties and
what were termed Cannon's propensi-
ties for interfering in the Smiths
home life.
Cannon replied with records of ad-
vances Of thousands of dollars TO
Smith during the year the marriage
lasted. in addition to construction of
an expensive home in Charlotte's most
exclusive residential area Faced with
stories of his overbearing attitude
toward Smith while celebrating" in
Hot Springs during his daughter S
divorce preparations. of how he and
a friend were arrested for borrow
ing" an unnamed street car for a
before-dawn ride about the Arkansas
city, Cannon said such incidents
merely involved friendly relaxations,
and we're in no way connected with
his attitude toward the divorce.

A Capital buzzing with political tur-
moil speculated last night on the pos
slbility Of Supreme Court rulings to-
morrow on the constitutionality Of the
A. A. A. and other New Deal legisla-
| ton.
Linked with such Speculation-it was
limited to that because the nine JUS
tices never divulge their plans in ad-
vance-waS wide discussion Of one
phase of President Roosevelt's mes
| sage to Congress.
The high tribunal heard arguments
In December or cases involving the
| original and amended agricultural ad-
| justment acts. the Tennessee Valley
act and the Bankhead cotton control
law.
Some observers, bearing in mind the
shortening of the courts customary
holiday recess by one week, thought
opinions on one or more of the cases
would be forthcoming when the tribu-
nal convenes at noon tomorrow.
Delay Possibility Seen.
Others believed there would be fur
ther delay of a week or longer before
the rulings-significant both economi-
cally and politically-would be forth
! coming
The justices held lengthy con-
ference yesterday which lasted until
| dusk. Observers noted they ordered
their automobiles for o'clock de-
parture, but the session did not end
until nearly pm
Although these Saturday afternoon
conferences are always secret, II is
known they are held for the purpose
| of discussing decisions. There was
some speculation whether the pro-
longed meeting might have involved
the revising of important opinions.
The Government asked the court
yesterday to review a decision of the
Federal District Court for Eastern
Michigan, which held the United
States had no right TO condemn land
in Detroit for low-cost housing and
slum clearance project.
This involves substantially the same
questions raised in case from Louis
vile which the court previously had
agreed to review. The two cases
probably will be argued and decided
together if the tribunal grants yes
terday's request.
Congress Prerogatives.
The statement in Mr.. Roosevelt's
speech which attracted attention
among court lawyers was this:
The carrying out of the laws of
the land as enacted by the Congress
requires protection until final adjudi-
cation by the highest tribunal of the
land. Congress has the right and
can find the means to protect its own
| prerogatives."
! The view was expressed among some
/ lawyers that this meant the Execu-
/ tive was opposed to Federal district
| courts and appellate tribunals grant,
ing injunctions against operation Of
New Deal legislation until the Su-
| preme Court acted.
In one recent instance the high
tribunal itself enjoined collection Of
rice processing taxes until it could
rule on validity of A. A. A. amend
ments. which were intended to ratify
farm-aid actions taken By Secretary
Wallace under the original law.
Congress years ago prohibited the
granting of injunctions by courts
against collection of taxes. There Is
disputes, however. whether the pro-
cessing levy imposed under A. A. A. is
genuine tax.
Other attorneys, however, were in
clined to believe the President was
hitting at what they called a ten
dency among some business groups
to hang the tag unconstitutional" on
New Deal legislation before the high
court ruled.
