WAGNER ACT GOES
TO COURT TODAY
Much Speculation Just
Now as to What Mem

BY JOHN A. REICHMANN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 9.-(UP)-The
Wagner labor relations act came
before the supreme court for argu-
ment today with speculation arising
as to whether the present tribunal
or a new one would hand down the
final decision. With argument on
the vital Wagner act tests to start
about 8 p. m, 1t was regarded q
strong possibility that the court
would hold up a decision pending
congressional acceptance or rejec-
ton of President Roosevelt's sweep
ing judicial plans.
This course of action, 1t was
pointed out, would allow a new
court to present the final ruling
should such a one be constituted
as result Of Mr.. Roosevelts sug-
gestions.
Some Agreement
It was strongly believed today, ON
the basis Of small but apparently
significant indications, that the nina
justices have arrived at some agree
ment to their course In the irnme.

told of taut nerves and spiritual

surface. But there's a devil I'M
derneath. There's something
about this river c0untry-I don't

aropingly. You think you hate
il but when it comes time TO

You-you-" She Iell silent.
Denny realized that the woman
was trying. incoherently, to eX-
press something OF the very thing
she. too, had felt. She hadn't
cared much for Rio, but now she
was filled with a sudden SYM

Meanwhile Rio. the returned

a glimpse of her figure above him,

admiration. and then Swerved to
a by-path which would take him
to the kitchen door without his
having to pass her.
But Rio saw him and called
cheerfully. Hey Hey! How'S the
