Congress finally passes his
 The trip is still subject to change of plans, but 1t would be in line with his policy of visiting all American Territories and pos- sessions, and also in line with his hankering for A sea trip after congressional sessions are over.
 Roosevelt already has visited Hawai-, Puerto Rico, the Philip pines, and the Canal Zone, to say nothing of various Latln- American countries. He has toyed with the idea of making Q trip to the Azores, but ace cording to present indications will make lt to the Philippines Instead.
 Ho would 90 on one of the new fast cruisers, the Houston or the Indianapolis, and would stop en route ct Guam or possibly the Wake Islands. He would stop very briefly ct Honolulu for fuel.
 ACCORDING TO PRESENT PLANS THERE WOULD BE NO STOPS IN JAPAN. The Presi- dent would 90 direct to the Philip pines, and then return.

 Fear must dominate the Treas ury Department and the life of Secretary Morgenthau more than anyone suspects.
 Tho other day, while he was bee ing photographed with the Chin csc Minister, there was Q sharp explosion in the rear of the room. Morgenthau, usually soft- spoken and serene, leaped to his feet with clenched fists, and turned as if to defend himself against an assailant. Ills face be- trayed an intense conflict of fear and anger, the instincts of priml- tive men.
 The explosion was caused by a photographer's defective flash. light bulb. The placid Oriental beside Morognthau did not stir nor did Mrs. Henrietta KlotS, his sec- retary, who had been showered with glass.
 Out of Order
 As the senate controversy over the Supreme Court reached it's height, with democratic leaders forcing rigid parliamentary rules on their own party colleagues, this sign was posted on the swinging doors leading into the democratic side of the chamber;
 THIS SIDE OUT or ORDER
 It was posted by the Secretary of the Democratic Majority. LeS- lie L. Biffic. But he only meant that the hinges had gone wrong on the swinging doors used by the democrats,
 Judicial Rivalry
 Judge John J. Parker Of North Carolina, the republican federal judge whom Herbert Hoover ape pointed to tho Supreme Court but who was not confirmed by the Senate, has taken another healthy crack at his would.hAve.boen colleagues.
 He has been playing directly Into the hands of Roosevelt, and slapping at Hughes, who was appointed at about the time Parker was, and At Roberts, who was appointed In his place.
 The latest crack shows up Par ker's Supreme Court colleagues on the tender subject of vacations. It will be recalled that Roosevelt berated the Supreme Court for adjourning June 2 with several important cases before 1t, notably the Alabama Power company case.
 He said there was no law requiring the Court Co adjourn and that they had no reason to keep the entire country waiting for important decisions while they rested for four ni0nths.
 So now Judge Parker has stepped forward to show that his court can sit in tho summer. He has called a special session Of the Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals to meet in Asl,eville, N. C., Auugst 3 in order to expedite an import ant New Deal case-the Duke Power company case.-involving the right of the government to lend money to municipalities to construct power plants. Private power companies do not want this done.

 Since Judge Parker already has decided the earlier Duke case fay- orably for the New Deal. 1t seems certain he will do so again. In speeding up this case at a time when most high judges are yaca- tioning, Parker is taking Q par ticular slap at Chief Justice Hughes. For Hughes mancuvered to delay the Duke csae last De- cember, sending 1t back both to Parker's Court and to the South Carolina District Court on a pure technicality which astounded the legal world.
 Parker has indicated to in- inmates that he will have the case back before the Supreme Court by October, thus forcing the NINE OLD MEN, whom he narrowly missed joining, to de- eide 1t along with the Alabama 0EE THP REC0Rn
