4 Puny Grandchild Not Much
Lett of the Court Bill ;. Hot
Stuff a Year Ago :.

WASHINGTON. - The procedural court bill
reported out by the Senate Judiciary Committee
is such a puny remnant OF the original court
bill that no pays it any heed.
But although it represents bad defeat LOT
Roosevelt, year ago 1t would nave peeh con-
sidered hot stuff. At any rate it appears TO
represent the committees unanimous belief that
there has been sand in the wheels OF justice.
There are four important points:
The first permits the attorney general to
intervene in suits involving constitutlonallty OF
federal laws. This provision would prevent
framed-up test cases" in which supposed but
not necessarily real adyerSaries would light
case of constitutionality through the courts, with
the possibility that the side defending constltu-
tionality would build up poor record or a
weak case upon which the Supreme Court Woulo
have to act
Theoretically the Supreme Court decides cases
between the government and persons (the court
has held corporations to be persons
But in the Burco case in Baltimore, nVolV-
ing the holding company act trustees OF delunct
utility company questioned constltutonallty OF
the holding company act-With John w. Davis
appearing for an intervening security holder"
and the act was defended by another group OF
security holders whom the government alleged
had no interest in defending it. The rice cases,
at least in early stages found the federal stat
ute defended by railroads which had refused
to carry over-quota rice. The new little court
bill" allows the government to defend It's own
laws from the beginning.
o
Second, there's provision for direct appeal Of
cases involving conStitutionality OF federal laws
from district courts to the Supreme Court This
procedure skips the Circuit Courts of Appeal.
Lawyers say it usually takes about a year to
get a through the appeals courts. The
Supreme Court has discretionary power to
skip the appeals courts.
Third, when injunctons sought to bar
enforcement of federal law suit must be
brought before a court of three federal judges,
of whom must be circuit judge. This
would mean crimp in the old game of
tying up federal laws by seeking injunctionS in
districts where judge is VIGOROUSLY or obvious
ly prejudiced.
Fourth, appeals by private litgants from
lower courts would have to be filed in 80 days
and appeals to the Supreme Court within go
days. This speeds up justice and prevents
"stalling"

NEW YORK, Aug. 5-There has
always been a fascination for me
about pitch men who hawk novelties
from their little valGes on tripods
along the curbs. They are beaver
like in their industry, working from
early to late, although their re-
wards are comparatively slight.
They are the last of the types
o. Henry called gentle grafters,"
birds of passage and always on the
wing, knowing Canal street is New
Orleans as well as Market in San
Francisco and the library wall,
which is their greatest rendezvous,
on And street in New York.
The Billboard is their Bible and
there is a column especially de-
voted to their roamingS in every
issue. The pitch men run to type,
but do not roam in packs. They
go it alone and are somehow always
able to survive every depression and
other economic upsets. Each is a
ringer for Ned Sparks in GUINNESS.
Their clothes are mostly blue
serge and they are the last of the
cigaret smokers who roll their whiffS
in yellow papers. Most of them
talk out of the side of the mouth
in cynical phrasing-but seldom are
they ever involved in the petty
crimes of the rolling stones.
Too, there is indefinable glamour
for many of US who keep our noses

(The Johnson act forbids loans to
nations defaulting on war debts)
1T would be a question of whether
the law had been broken, and that

He added that. although the Treas

SUPREME COURT
HEARS MILK FIGHT
Highland Farms Counsel
Says Virginia Law Is
Unconstitutional.

~ the Associated Press.
Counsel for the Highland Farms
Dairy. distributor in the Alexandria
Arlington area, contended In the Su-
preme Court yesterday that the Vir-
einia milk and cream act of 1884 was
unconstitutional.
The law, which was upheld by the
Federal Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia, provides for a milk con-
troll board with authority to fix prices
and regulate marketing in areas where
the majority of producers request such
action.
The Highlands Farms Dairy asserted
the act gives the commission power
without fixing any standard whatever
to determine who may have or who
may not have a license to produce and
distribute milk in any territory"
Phillip Rosenfeld, dairy counsel,
said that under this law we are COM
PEELED to sell milk at a fixed price
when we should have differential be-
cause We operate on a cash-and-carry
basis" He argued that the Virginia
law differed basically from the New
York milk control law, which the Su-
preme Court upheld.
Edwin H. Gibson, assistant attorney
general of Virginia, said the control
laws of Virginia and New York were
the same, except that the Virginia law
requires that before the commission
shall exercise powers in any distribu-
ton area it shall hold public hearing.
while the New York law provides for
no public hearings"

Subscription Reported.
S5O,000.O00 subscription to the de-
fense loan was reported earlier to have
been pledged by the Paris branch of
an American bank after Premier Leon
Blum's government asked quick pas
sage of the bills authorizing the is
suance of bonds which would be re-
payable in dollars and pounds, as well
as francs, for the benefit OF foreign
investors.
Despite publication of Washington
dispatches reporting concern over
prospects of American participation in
the loan, financial quarters indicated
that American capital abroad con-
sidered 1t could do as it pleased.
The unnamed American banking
firm persistently was reported in
financial circles already to have un-
dertaken to absorb the $50,000,000
slice of the bond issue. It was con-
sidered other American and British
investors would not hesitate to take
up the subscriptions they are said to
have promised.
u. S. Opposition Revealed.
The French press published with
out comment the advices from Wash
ington of Government opposition to
American money being invested in
defense loans because of the johnson
act, which forbids loans to nations in
default on war debts.

completed the draft of the measure
