The series Of conflicts between Ickes
and Hopkins over w. P. A. have been
more widely advertised than the Mac
Donald -Fahey miX-up. However, the
efforts of Mr.. Ickes to get control Of
slums clearance is pointed phase Of
the unhappy situation in Mr.. Roose-
velt's official family.
Mr.. Ickes is Secretary of the IN
terror. His department is supposed
to care for the Indians and public
lands and teD other odds and
ends. But neDer in all its history
has it had anything to do Dith
slunas. Nor has Mr.. Ickes' past
experience fitted him peculiarly for
that type OF work.
What he wants with slums clearance,
nobody knows, unless it Is the same
reason why Hopkins wants all spend
ing, Macdonald all housing and Fahey
all mortgaging.
Whatever the motives, the situation
points clearly to early use Of the hair
brush.
Battle for Principle.
Note-Of course, personal ambition
is not the only issue at stake in these
and sundry other inside scraps. All
clashers are convinced that they are
battling for great moral issues. The
important point about it is that their
moral issues are always something for
themselves.
An eminent brain truster in the
A. A. A. recently signed a contract for
a series of lecture tours next year.
The lecture manager would not include
cancellation clause because he said
1t would be unfair to audiences, but
the brain trrlster assured him there
was no question that he would be able
to get away.
This is only one hint among many
that there may be a reorganization in
A. A. A. after election. Conflicts are
developing here also

POWER DEFENDED
Judge Parker Says Rigid In.
depreciation of Constitu-
ton Is Needed.
BY the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, April 23.-The
Constitution needs more rigid inter.
probation in times Of emergency than
in normal times as a safeguard to
individual liberty, Judge John j. Par.
ker of Charlotte, N. c., senior jurist
of the United States Circuit Court Of
| Appeals for the fourth circuit, told
| more than 800 members of five civic
clubs at a Joint luncheon here yester-
day.
There is very subtle argument
that all this (the check Of the Su-
preme Court on legislation) is good
enough for ordinary times, but that
in times Of emergency Interpretation
should be more lax" Judge Parker
said. We'll, in ordinary times We
can get along pretty we'll without any
constitution. 1t is in times Of ma
tional danger and distress that the
people always have been overridden.
that under the guise Of necessity their
liberties and safeguards have been
ovrthrown.
The Constitution is not to be In
terpreted like contract or statute"
he continued. In a contract we look
to see what the men made it meant;
in statute, we look to see what
the Legislature meant. The Consti-
tuition must be interpreted as II
adopted fer all time as the principles
applicable today. Thus, it Is not to
be dead hand out of the past, but
the living heart Of the people for the
future

Testimony that the steel industry

Few years was given a Senate Labor

This happens at time" he said,
when economists note that a revolu-
ton is under way In steel. I am not
referring to the deep labor unrest
there, now mounting, but to something
more fundamental.
Foresees Steel Trouble.
ut shows. too, why your National
Labor Relations Board Is deeply con-
cerned with this request for Senate
investigation to clear out of the way
such things as organized espionage
i warn you that there Is basic
trouble enough looming in steel,
changes to cause most widespread
grievances.
Il refer TO the fact that the steel
industry. through the rapid moderni-
zation of plant and startling mechani-
cation of process, Is in the next few
years headed toward throwing out
Of the industry about half of its
employees. Those are the estimates
of engineers. Where are those en-
ployes going? On Government relief
rolls?"
Raymond J. Burns. son of the
founder Of the Burns Detective
Agency. preceded Blankenhorn. In
a brief statement he denied the
agency had furnished spies for any
strikes.
Smith Advises Two Acts.
Edwin s. Smith, member of the
Labor Relations Board, told the sub
committee lit is deeply disturbing to
learn that the stool pigeon. the hired
detective and the armed thug have be-
come common weapons with which
employers war on their workers who
wish to better their lot by joining
labor unions.
1.-Two things must be done to expose
this conspiracy against democracy.
The people must know from an i'm
partial congressional investigation
what exactly is happening to civil lib
ertes in every field. Testimony con-
corning actual acts of espionage and
violence against labor and other groups
will in itself do much to prick our
slumbering national conscience.
Secondly. there needs to be a thor
ough showing up of the selfish purposes
of those who would oppose and delude
innocent people for private gain.'
