Trouble Looms For Black in High Court Wig OrOus Opponent of Tri- bunaI's Decisions |. Balance of Power to Hughes.

Democrat Washington / COrrespOndentl

Washington, Aug. 20-Friends and foes of Senator Hugo Black agree alike that the brief disturbance in the Senate over his confirmation Is likely to prove mere pop-gun stuff as compared with what may happen after he gets on the Supreme Court
 It is not necessary to impugn the judicial temperament" of Senator Black If any, in order to demon- strate the indubitable fact that Hugo has taken violent Issue with the judicial attitudes of some of the sitting justices in the past or to arouse the horrid thought that he may introduce some of the rough and stumble practices of the Senate floor to the Supreme Courts sacred cloiSters.
 One does not suggest that the distinguished whiskers of Chief Justice Hughes are in the slightest danger of being pulled by the ag- gressive senator from Alabama Figuratively, hayhap, but never literally.
 The gentleman who will soon
 be Justice Black has publicly
 charged that . bare court ma jorlty for "years has been aSsum. ing the right on their part to de-
 termlne the reas0nableness of state and federal law. The Con- Stltution never gave that maJor-
 fly any such power" Since the senator was never mealy-mouthed,
 the chances are that he will at- tempt to bAwl out his conserva-
 tive brethern of the court, both In conference and in his opinions, more bitterly than they have been slammed In years. Black, his friends and enemies figure, simply has t0 let off steam.
 The conferences ct which the justices air their views to each other in complete secrecy may never be the same again. One prominent lawyer, friendly to Black, suggests that the senator's opinions are as likely as not to contain references to things the chief justice said in conference, On the other hand, of course. Black may turn out to be at least aS dignified and judicial as the average justice and perhaps more so.

Lost money. Postal inspectors have cleared up another mail swndle which has bilked hard-headed business men, as well the traditional widows and orphans for years. There was nothing about this particular confidence game. It was the old Host cstate' trick that has been used and exposed again and again. man named Baker was supposed to have died disposed of large part of the land which Philade pha built not to mention various tracts of coal land throughout Pennsylvania. Just why the will was the swndlers prospectus didn't explain very clearly, the little matter of how title had been proved this property during it's frequent transfers in that 100 years But that didn't deter the investors They bit to the fine tune of several millions the chance of being heirs took the government and A convictions to finally stop the flow of money that much more completely lost than any estate could ever be-

Hughes Holds Scales

If Justice Hughes and Roberts keep voting for New Deal laws as they did this year, Roosevelt will have a Liberal majority" Of 6 to 3 now that Black is to be e justice. But there is no assurance Of that and if those twain return to the narrow interpretations they made in the 6 to 3 decision against AAA the conservative justices will outnumber the liberals by s to f.
 The one thing certain is that Blacks appointment passes the scales of justice to Chief Justice Hughes, who will now be the man in the middle. Heretofore the question often has been whether Hughes could persuade Roberts to vote with him and the three lib- erals. Now, if Roberts rejoins the conservatives both groups will be pressuring Hughes to join them. Whether Hughes or Black will out-pressure the other is also an interesting topic for speculation.

May Attack Appointment

Another kind of troublemakine is In prospect through the like. lihood that c s to 1 decision with Black on the majority sidC will sooner or later bring a lega test Of the validity of Black'i presence on the bench. You canr be sure, but 1t B considered c faii bet that some litigant who comei out on the short end of such c de. cislon will claim that Black isn't Justice and will then refuse tc obey the law.
 The prospect of fighting the validity of Blacks appointment up through t0 the Supreme Court, where Justice McReynolds and perhaps otbers--possibIy even c ma J0rity-might hold that Black had no business there Is so bizarre yet far from impossible that the courts dignity might be seriously endangered.
 That is why some lawyers pre-. dict that Chief Justice Hughes, whose great aim Is to preserve the courts prestige, may make some

ROsEBUDs

'Tis only beauty born again Beside a mountain loved by men: Tis only rain from purple clouds That washes rosebuds' fairy shroudS You are a precious joy of life Dispelling every thought of strife. The blue sky wonders at your name; Like Venus beautiful you came To give fair May loves perfume sweet, And lay your blossoms at her feet, And greet the Canterbury bells Down in the gardens green-clad dells. No rosebud ever laughed aloud, The apple blossoms call them proud; They comfort us with shining eyes: Springtimeis jewels from Paradise.

Camp Cross, Mantle, Aug. 19- The regiment is back In Camp Cross after participating In one of the finest, most practical man Ouvers held since the World war. It Is . well known fact by those of us who actually participated In the movements overseas dur ing the war that all movements of troop munitions etc. from the rear to the front are made under cover of darkness, also that troops take up their positions on the line of departure under cover of darkness and start the attack as the first streaks of dawn redden the eastern sky. We have received training in the man0uvers of ex- tended order 0n the parade ground and have had problems of the company, platoon and bat taiiOn worked out in the various training areas allotted In the day light hours. Yesterday morning the regiment moved out from Camp Cross at 6 o'clock and pro. ceeded slowly along Pennsylvania avenue in the direction of Elan. dcrs. The third battalion under command of Major Bernard Lin. elmer of Wallingford, was the ad- vance guard with Co. I of Ansonia under Capt. Neils J. Poulson fur. nishing the front and advance party. The first battalion had moved out by truck some little time before to conduct rear guard action, somewhere along the route with the intention of de- laying the advance of the i02nd, which as part of 2 force assumed to be the 85th Infantry brigade, with the 103rd field ar. tillery and 4th tank company, were moving to the high ground In the Stones ranch area to es. tabllsh 2 bridge head over the Connecticut river bridge ct Say brook.

public gesture to make BIack'l position appear solidified.
 Arguments have been made that no vacancy existed in the court "a contention which made no great dent in view of Justice Van Devanter's retirement - and that Black was disqualified because he voted for the retirement act, car- rying retirement em0iuments, un- der. which Van Devanter resigned. That's a question for lawyers, however, and the senate-75 per cent composed of lawyers-has voted overwhelmingly to confirm the senator from Alabama.

SUFFERED 40 YEARS. FROM CONSTIPATION

"For 40 years, I had been pray ing for lasting remedy for con- situation and it's evils. Finally, I tried Kellogg's ALL BRAN. Since that time (nearly 10 years ago), l have not taken any medicine. Have been well and entirely free from constipation. ."- Mrs. I. H. Kendig, R. F. D. No. 2, Lancaster, Penna-
 Don't let common constipation ruin your life. You can end it safely, without using drugs that soon lose their effectiveness.
 Just eat two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN every day - with every meal in severe cases. Serve as cereal with milk or fruits, or cook into appetizing recipes. ALL BRAN absorbs more than twice it's weight in water and gently clears away the wastes that cause head aches, tiredness and serious illness.
 The vitamin B in ALL BRAN helps tone up the entire intestinal tract. Buy ALL-BRAN from your grocer. Guaranteed by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

ince of Cincinnati, will form the
