BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
Prof. Raymond Moley, ardent New
Dealer and former chief brain trusteI
of the Roosevelt administration, to-
day advocated constitutional amend
ment to improve social and economic
conditions and attacked vigorously
the Presidents court bill.
Appearing before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee and a large crowd
which gathered to hear his testimony
Prof. Moley said:
Il believe that there is a better
way to achieve the objectives toward
which the President is striving. That
way is amendment"
The time is ripe, Moley told the
committee, "for basic and funda-
mental restatement of the law to make
possible the attainment of the humane
objectives of progressive thought. Let
us make democracy work by working
through the instruments of democ-
racy"
Legislation by Court Favored.
Moley was the first witness to tell
the committee he thought the Supreme
Court should exercise legislative pow
ers and that the trainers of the Con-
stitution intended the justices shsuld
perform this function.
In response to a question Senator
Nicely, Democrat, of West Virginia,
who is supporting the bill, Moley said
Il think the original intention was
that the Supreme Court should be
one OF the policymaking agencies OF
the Government. In that capacity
1t necessarily has to be both a politi-
cal and judicial body. Certainly il
should exercise legislative power
through the process of determining
the constitutionality of acts of Con-
gress''
Moley added he thought the
trainers of the Constitution intended
to give the court power to veto con.
greSsional statutes.
Discussing the Presidents plan fol
increasing the Supreme Court, Moley
said lit is frankly admitted that the
real purpose of the plan is to secure
within the letter, though 1 submit
not within the spirit of the Consti-
tuition, a court that will lift out o1
doubt a number of New Deal meas
ures now in process of preliminary
adjudication and to provide in ad.
vance for favorable action by tht
Supreme Court upon a number oI
measures not yet formulated"
DiSlikeS Many Decisions.
Moley related to the committee hi.
own dislike for many of the decisions
of the Supreme Court holding New
Deal laws unconstitutional. He showed
that he had, in the magazine he pub.
fishes, attacked again and again the
court and charged it was "judicia
supremacy" and the use of arbitrary
powers.
Speaking of the Presidents proposal
Moley said that he viewed it not 81
much with alarm as with deep regarc
that after a period of many wears
during which progressive ideas hav,
been taking shape, a plan has beer
injected into the situation which il
both wholly inadequate and destruc
tive OF the institutional consistenc,
of the Republic. He said that it ma,
obstruct progressive development il
the future as well.
He said he was opposed to the plal
because he did not believe it vii
achieve the job that is immediatel,
before the country because it is base,
upon emergency or crisis psychology
because it does not offer a permanen
solution and because it will still leav
the Congress without specific power

A Pachydermatous Strike.

It has reached all sorts Of industries,
all branches of work. The latest DEM
onstration Of the static strategy, how
ever. demonstrates that even the
animals engaged in non-industrial en-
terprises are following the new mode
An elephant enrolled among the per-

Progress operatives in the Canarsie
district of Brooklyn came to halt in
the course of shift of scene on Sunday
and assumed semi-recumbent posture
in the high road, induced to this action
by the breaking Of plank in the gang

But the juvenile mind is not isolated
from that of the senior generation.
Many sober citizen really enjoys tog-

fraternal orders as the Federated, Anal

And the number Of matrons who aspire
to the roles of Juliet or Desdemona in
the amateur theater is reported to be
legion-they wish to wear the costumes
traditionally associated with those parts.
The splendor OF military, naval and
diplomatic uniforms may be traced back
to similar psychology. People ap-
preciate the opportunity to shine; and
gold braid and strings of medals help
lot. Richard Harding Davis, it will
be remembered, invented a wardrobe in
anticipation of his activities as a war
correspondent; he thought he ought to
look different" in the field and guided
his course accordingly.
Perhaps, an anxiety for power is in
