fully; just with her faint WEAKNESS. He's
waiting for the false step. And in the mean
time, practical Jokes like this amuse him
Richmond took cigarette from his fiat
gold case and was very studious in lighting it.
Suddenly Ned felt it was like peeping, to be
watching them. His eyes wandered away
among the soft-lighted objects of the farther
room and came to rest on brass bell with
twisted dragon in relief on it, cleaning under
a lamp on the magazine table. Cleaning
there, it had patient, sinister quiet and
hot flush ran up into Neds cheeks as if
Uncle Val's intently smiling eyes were some
where shining on him to see how his test had
begun Ned hunched his shoulders and looked
down at his own hard-clasped hands. What
had any of this to do with the School? Why
should it have anything to do with the School:
Ned started as Stephen Richmond said,
evenly There's an answer to all that But
he was speaking to Aunt Constance. He added
And soon you'll have it." He smiled down
into the searching question Of Aunt Con-
stances eyes and Ned wished she would trust
the assurance of that smile as he himself did.
But the butler came in with a tray of cock
tails and canapes and a glass of tomato juice
for Ned; and the faint sadness in Aunt Con-
stances look remained unassured.

coming football season. the King of England,
a new musical show, racing cars, the next
war - Ned felt himself invited first to equal
companionship and then to confederacy
which would bring Aunt Constance away
from her preoccupation.
1t worked, too. And when Ned ventured to
tell about his mongrel terrier with the hurt
leg that rode in the carrier of his bicycle and
barked iiercely at passing dogs from that
vantage, she looked at him for the first time
as though he were real person beside her,
and the low laughter that came into her
lovely throat was warm and friendly tor hlm

And what we're you doing at the police
station?" she asked, fascinated.

to look at the riot guns and stuff.
That got Stephen, and they talked little
about guns and game shooting; and then the
three of them were planning an expedition
into Africa, into Nairobi, completely thought
out from mosquito boots through sunrises to
last-minute rescues of one another 1t was as
absorbing as any movie, and Ned hardly
noticed the transition from dining room to
library again. And there, after coffee, Aunt
Constance and Stephen sat down to cribbage,
with Ned close by to watch and take their
solicitous instruction. Then suddenly it was
after eleven - Ned's usual bedtime being
half past nine - and Stephen unwillingly
stood up to go.

Meets Father First
Time At Age OF 80
tny Associated Press,

Thirty-two-year-old Ray Webb, a
civil engineer, saw his father for
the first time in his life recently.
And the father, Hugh Webb of
Knox City, Tex, got acquainted
not only with his son, but with
his grandson. four-year-old Stan
ley Dean Webb.
Ray Webb was baby when his
mother and father were divorced
thirty-two years ago. His moth
er, Mrs. Emma Cannon, raised
her son at Tulsa. The elder Webb
moved from Whitesboro, Tex, the
family home, to Knox City.
Father and SON struck up a cor
respondence after locating each
other in 1880. The two finally
met, looked at each other and
laughed. They look remarkably
alike.

let nothing stand in their way. This
explains their plan to pack the Court
The Court in deciding New Deal
cases has frequently emphasized that
its sole function is to determine
whether constitutional power Is vest
ed in Congress or in the President to
authorize or to perform the actions
being contested. Il is no the function
OF the Justices to declare an execu-
tive act constitutional because q
presidents motives are iaudkbIe. nor
is 1t their duty to read into the Con-
stitution provisions thai do not exist
in II. Even though group coatends
that what It is doing is socially de-
sirable, the Just ss must. under their
oaths, view the contention through
constitutional spectacies. AS individ-
uals. they might even favor some of
the things whose legality they rule
against. 1t Is eminently unfair to de-
nounce the Justices DIS anti-social be-
cause they persist in viewing legal
questions from, the standpoint Of Ie-
sality alone,
Viewed. however. through the new
speetacles of reform at any price. the
Justices are incompetent. old-fash-
Toned. and anti-social In the minds
OF some present-day liberals. any
thing is justified II the end seems de-
sirable. Such are willing to disregard
the Constitution and its principles to
achieve their purposes.
Opponents of the Presidents plan
point out that from the very begin
ming of the New Dear. the fundamen-
tai principles of Federal dualism.
enumerated powers. limited govern
ment. and separation of powers have
been openly flaunte,. They interpret
the present move as an attempt
to emasculate the principle of judi
cial review by remodeling the SUI
preme Court on a pattern better suit
ed to the purposes Of far-reaching re-
form. This explains why.so many of
the Presidents liberal supporters.
who still adhere to fundamental prin-
ciples. have failed to follow him.
