Decision Up to Hughes

Meanwhile Chief Justice Hughes.
intellectually receptive to the New
Deal philosophy, had to decide whe-
ther to stand against the conserv-
alive majority and thus undermine
court prestige by the unpleasant
appearance Of S to 4 decisions, or to
joint with the majority in its votes
to preserve front. Since he went
with the majority in the 6-to-3 de-
cision against AAA, the liberal min
ority has been increasingly savage
in accusing the majority Of follow
ing its personal economic predic-
tons" instead Of the Constitution.
The courts prestige has been ur1-
dermined and perhaps Hughes
wishes he hadn't said In 1928: 1--WE
live under a Constitution, but the
Constitution Is what the justices say
1t is" .t

Bitterness" In F. d. r. Court
Talk Inspired By Richberg
and NRA's Fall.

Washington, Feb. "a - Tangled
threads ~ human frailty and error
are snarled over the reverse side Of
the New Deal historical tapestry,
now woven to the point where We
foolhardie knight, Sir Franklin, doth
challenge to mortal combatte We
Nine Supreme Knights Of We Mar
BILE Palace.
Thanks TO the fact that supreme
court justices, presidents and other
characters involved do not always
confine their feelings within their
bosol1s, 1t Is possible to reveal these
items of backgrounds to the current
cannonade: .,-..
The issue between Roosevelt
and the court probably would
never have reached . crisis had
the courts conservative justices
not been encouraged by NRA's
maladministration and unpopu-
larity to kill the blue eagle and
had their attitude subsequently
not been stiffened by unfavorable
public reaction to ROOsevelts
'horse and buggy" remarks.
The bitter parts Of Roosevelt's
message to Congress asking power
to pack tie court were inserted by
Donald Richberg. They are trace.
able to the bitterness engendered
by the Schechter decision in both
Roosevelt and Richberg. The latter
had offered to static his legal repu-
tation on victory in that case.
The four most conservative Jus
tees believed they could kill OF
at least turn back, the New Deal
by killing MIRA.
If the AAA test case had come
to the supreme court before the
MIRA case, more than one observer
believes, the New Deal would
have been upheld in its farm pro-
gram.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-24
Errors Came in Series

One mistake followed another.
The president gambled on MIRA as
his big recovery ace, rather than
the public works program. MIRA
was administered so badly that
nearly everyone either hated 1t or
was frightened by 1t - including
nine justices Of the supreme court.
Richberg pulled boner In push
ing the Schechter sick chicken"
case before the supreme court.
| Those who counted strongly on
the liberalism of Justices Brandeis
Stone and Cardozo feel that the
three justices made q mistake by
joining in the sweeping condem-
nation Of MIRA, which was widely
taken as q rebuke to the whole
New Deal.
Roosevelt made a mistake when,
egged on by General johnson, he
made his famous 'horse and bug
gy" statement.
Had Been "Struggling" Along
No important case involving New
Deal reform had come before the
court prior to the MIRA case. Up to
that time, according to the inside
information, the conservative JUS
tices had been somewhat In the
same frame of mind as Republican
members o. Congress. They felt 1t
would be wise and expedient to
string along with Roosevelt In the
emergency because the country was
behind him.
There was great dissensi0n
within the New Deal at the time,
one large faction favoring new,
modified NRA with unpopular
and unavoidable features removed.
This faction was successful to the
point that it persuaded Roosevelt
and Richberg to drop the Belcher
lumber case, first scheduled as the
MIRA test case. But Richberg In
sisted on bulling 1t through, and
picked the Schechter case as his
Armageddon. ..,.
The court wrote about as savage
an opinion as it could write, with
out including a single kind word,
single suggestion as to what Con-
gress might do to meet the emer-
gency or a single word In recog-
milton of the problem.
That was what sent Roosevelt,
as his :ntimates know, into a
rage. He never forgave the jus
tees - at least, not the elderly
conservatives. Richberg was hui
inflated. Roosevelt himself de-
veloped something Of a sense of
humiliation when the public show
ed antagonism, at his "horse and
buggy" statement. But II this lasted
long, the election completely obliter-
ated it. The memory Of the joint
licking they had taken at the courts
hands, however, probably led Roose-
welt to confer chiefly with Richberg
when the recent message was writ

 New York, May 3-Melodist, the Wheatley stable colt that earned a starting berth in the Kentucky der by by gallopinng home first in the wood Memorial Saturday will be shipped tonight to Churchill Downs.
 The Royal Minstrel colts surprise win over Jerry Lougheims winter book favorite, Pompoon, ana four other probable derby starters in the $2O 900 mile and 70 yard Jamacla feature, pumped up the odds on Pompoon from 3-1 to 10-1. Pompon ran fifth.

 Melodist, nervous shipper, will t..ye a special car to Louis ville accaompmned only by his trainre. sunny" Jim Fitzsimmons, a groom and two exercise boys. Be- cause c.. Melidoes' fretful disposl- lion. it was debated whether to send the horse to Kentucky. Fltz- simmons convinced owners ogden Mills and Mrs. H. c. Phipps that Melodist deserved a shot at the greatest honor for three-year-olds.
 Four other Derby candidates that trailed Melodist in the Wood-Mar- shall Fields Sir Damion, walter -Carter's Clodion, Pompoon and Miss E. G. Rand's Merrymaker- were shipped in one car yesterday; They ran second, fourth, t1fth ana sixth respectively on Saturday.
 Danny Clarke, trainer Of Pom noon. does not believe his coltS showing in the Wood has any bear ing on his derby chances.
 "That race don't mean an thing, Clarke said. "Pompoon showed plenty of stamaina and if he hadn't been knocked of stride, 1t would have been different. He was running easily at the finish, and will snow he can go the distance down at Churchill next Saturday"
 Latest news from the scene Of the 63rd running of the $50,OOO classic was that trainers of eligibles were heartened by Pompoon'S de- feat and that as many as 18 colts would parade to the post next Sat- urday.
 Heelfy 'Hot"
 Warr Admiral, the Samuel D. Riddl colet, was a lone favorits at 3-1, but the three D stock farms Heelfy made him look bad by breezinng a mile in TAO yesterday. War Admiral was on the track at the same time and although break ing furlong behind, the Texas hore overlook and passed the Riddle colt at the second turn. War Ad- miral was clocked in 1:55 1-5 for a mile and a furlong.
 The poor showing of E. R. Brad ley's Brooklyn in his last two strats has cost him a starting role. The bay son of Blue Larkspur finished behind Bradley's Millionaire in his last two starts, and hopes Of the Idle Hour farm will ride solely on the latter. Brooklyn was left at Lex ington to rest when Millionaire was sent to Louisville yesterday.
