nations highest tribunal which
has dealt the administration stag
gering blows in invalidation Of
AAA and NRA. The ruling said
in effect that if Mr.. Roosevelt's
power program is developed along
the lines of IVA, it is well with
in constitutional limitations.
The silver-plumed, white beard
ed Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, who sided with conserva-
tives in killing AAA, read the
majority opinion in clear, crisp
tones to one of the largest crowds
that ever had thronged the courts
tiny chamber. The lone dissenter
was Justice James McReynolds,
the stoutest conservative on the
bench, who shouted "The consti-
tuition is gone" when the court
upheld the New Deals gold acts.
Leaning forward in his chair,
his white eyebrows briStling and
his face grim, Hughes spoke the
words which sent utility stocks
tumbling on the nations stock
markets. In rapid-fire order came
these momentouS rulings:
|. Stockholders of the Alabama
Power company, who brought the
test Of iva, were legally entitled
to do -.
2. The government had full
authority to build Wilson dam
! keystone of IVA.
3. Congress has undiSputcd
power to order disposal Of clec-
tricity developed at the dam.
a. The government acted legal
ly in building or obtaining thru
purchase from private companies
certain transmission lines ia
transport power to wider mar,
ket.
5. Arguments by iva foes
that valuation of the act would
throw the government deeper in,
to competition with private in
dustry were brushed aside as il
relevant.
6. The Alabama Power com
pany has no constitutional right
to demand that it be the sole pur-
chaser of Wilson dam power.
z. The government has the
same right to dispose of surplus
power as it would have to dispose
of copper, gold, and minerals on
public lands.
8. There is nothing in the con-
stitution that says the govern
ment can sell only part of the
electrical energy developed at
dams and must throw the. rest
away.
The court made it clear that it
was not passing at this time on
sale of electricity at other dams
constructed or projected on the
Tennessee river in which other
questions may be involved than
those decided yesterday. But ju-
bilant New Dealers gleefully hail
ed the ruling as an unequivocai
"go ahead" on the administla-
toms "yardstick" power pro-
gram. ..
One of the fundamental princi-
pies of the broad Tennessee Val
ley development program is that
it may be financed from the sale
of power developed at the dams.
Had the court held this to be I'M
constitutional, the heart of the
project would have been crushed.
With the IVA, in such an even
tuality, probably would have gone

an undernote of raw uncouth chords

Lake listened in the attitude of a
man well pleased, then he turned to-
wards the switch. More lights flashed
into the room. l realized instantly
what I had already suspected. Those
twelve figures seated at the table were
helpless. They were lolling in every

their stands were out of use. The room

article of furniture in it was a wooden
couch covered with bundles of sacking.
