him down.
week ago. in vetoing AAA the Supreme Court
indicated that 1t thought the Bankhead Act was even
worse than the late AAA But the Bankhead Act
not involved in that so the court could not
pass directly upon it.
THIS week. however, the Bankhead Act did come
i up Some time ago the court issued writ of
certiorar agreeing to hear the case Arguments were
made But after due elaboration the court an
nounced yesterday that the plaintiff had failed to
make for equitable relief and should be lett
to his legal remedy In view of this, the court said
it had issued its writ of certiorari improvidenty
and dismissed the case without passing upon the
constitutionality of the law
Now the court must wait until some one else
comes in and shows that he has been irreparably in
jured and has other recourse When that is done,
the court will be able to say whether 1t thinks the
Bankhead Act is unconstitutional.
One other is pending in the court involving
the Bankhead Act 1t was brought by Gov. Tai
madge of Georgia, who protested against applying
the compulsory cotton act to cotton grown or the
state prison farm The prison farm refused to apply
for the government tax-exemption tags which must
be affixed to all cotton which is transported in inter-
state commerce. and the railroad wouldn't haul the
cotton If by any chance the court does not regard
that case as bringing up legitimately the issue OF
constitutonaty, then it will have to hold its tongue
awhile longer until some case does present the
question
Eventually 1t is probable that case carrying the
proper legal technicalities will come up that the
court will be able finally to say whether the language
Of the Bankhead Act. which is nearly two years old,
squares with the Constitution.
THIS is only one of the many instances recently
i which point to the practical need of simplifying
judicial procedure so that il the Supreme Court is
to continue to exercise veto power legislation
the veto can be obtained within reasonable time
and not two three years after the law in ques-
ton has gone into operation.
There MANY illogical and foolish nracticeS
in our government and none more so than the
procedure which now requires the secretary of agri-
culture to go on functioning fixing cotton quotas,
preparing for another cotton crop year in COM
formity to law of the land which he has good.
reason to suspect will ut some later date be vetoed
by the Supreme Court
But we still go on complacently requiring that
man violate the Law, or suffer irreparable damage
from 1t before we can find out whether it is
law or only another mistake by Congress.

Washinqton Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

VX7ASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-The
w AAA decision blotted from
sight a signal court victory won
by the New Deal in its fierce
struggle with utilities over en-
forcement of the Holding Com
pany Act.
Several hours after the Supreme
Court had blasted the farm act,
Justice Jennings Bailey of the
District of Columbia Supreme
Court handed down a. decision
granting the governments plea
to bar utilities from bringing suits
against the Holding Company Act
in Washington.
The effect of this ruling is to
give the government the full right
of way to push before the SUI
preme Court the case it has Sc
lected to test the constitution
atty of the law. This is suit
brought in New York by the Sc
CurltleS and Exchange Comm1S-
sion against Electric Bond and
Share.
Seven suits filed by utilities
were directly affected by Justice
Bailey's decision, and more than
so others we're waiting to be filed
had he held against the govern
ment. So important was the &C
ton considered by the Admins
tration that Atty Gen. Cummings
personally argued the government
case.
On any other day but the fate
full one for the AAA, Justice Bal
ley'S decision would have been
front-page news. But the scut-
Ting of the farm act blanketed it
from view-much to the anguish
of jubilant New Dealers.
Complained Mr.. Cummings: eff

unable to look at them with the

Fires on NelU Deal

MISS CORA RUBIN, able,
N1 handsome secretary to Will

Dealers and makes no bones
about it.
A reporter, knowing her an

she permitted the name of Mike

the door of Borah's office.
"Oh," said Miss Rubin, uncon-
cerned, "he is a newspaper man

Good Old Tradition

MY first thought was to beg off on the ground
1VA that had engagement to appear at the
Labor Temple. Indeed, tried, but my chief said,
"You will have at least ten minutes to get there at
the end of the interview. And, besides, you seem to
forget that this is for the paper"
Naturally, blushed. For passing moment I
had forgotten that fine old Journalistic adage by
which newspaper men have lived and died-"The
broadcast must go on!"
The deadline only half an hour distant, and
so I seized pencil and copy paper and rushed
to the suite of Sally Rand. And even as l rushed l
wrote down pertinent and original queries such as,
would you mind telling us, Miss Rand, how you
first got your start?"
Although the minute hand went round and
round (ooh-hoo) feathery feet, Sally Rand
seemed not at all disturbed by the fact that we
lacked both rehearsal and material At least as she
pointed out, we had each other.
