NEUTRALITY ACT TO GET VERDICT, SUPREME COURT
Highest Tribunal Expected to Make Decision on
 Another Measure

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - Pri- vately State Department officials are much concerned about the fate of the Neutrality Act because of a test case on another measure to be argued soon in the Supreme Court.
 Under the present Neutrality Act, passed last session, the President must stop all munitions shipments to warning nations. What would happen if that authority suddenly were lost while Europe seems to be already dusting off its cannon?
 The special tension arises out of an obscure testing the constitution ality of an act authorizing an em- bargo on shipment of arms to Bol- ivia and Paraguay during the Chaco war. Certain officials fear the Cha co act is so near like the Neutrality Act that if one fails, the other fails also. Others see differences they feel will save the Neutrality Act for quick use in case Europe boils over.

HOW ACTS COMPARE

The Federal Court in Southern New York held the Chaco Act was unconstitutional because it dele gated too much authority to the President Approved May 28. 1894, it authorized the President to pro- 'hibit arms shipments into the Chaco if that would contribute to the re- establishment of peace" On the very day the act was approved, the President ordered an embargo.
 Yet, during 1885, the government charges, the Curtiss- Wright Export Corporation, Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and certain others "conspired to sell' Is machine guns to Bolivia. Reputedly aviation ma terial also was involved, but the charge did not list this. The pen alty for violation is $10,000 fine and two years imprisonment.
 While the District Court ruled that the Chaco Act unconstitution- ally delegated authority to the Pres ident, the government, in it's appeal to the Supreme Court, is passing it's

A return to direct Federal relief
is advisable, at least for emergen-
cies such as the 1934-35 droughts,
Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress
Administrator, said today.
Whether the Administration will
advocate emergency relief meas
ureS at the next session of Con-
greSS, Hopkins declined to say.
Meanwhile, the relief burden is
the lowest since 1881, Hopkins as
serted, despite reports showing that
work relief under the various gov
ernmental agencies and direct re-
lief given by States and local COM
munitieS was higher a month ago
than the peak load of the Govern.
ment's direct relief under Federal
Emergency Relief Administration.
Reports Cited
Hopkins cited reports from sew.
eral Western States which, how
ever, covered only local relief
and Works Progress Administra-
ton employment, and not the re.
lief work of other Federal agen-
cieS. He said:
THE relief load has gone
down far more than the sea-
SOnal decline. There has been
q very sharp decline in the
whole relief picture. Relief is
at its lowest point since 1881
