Court Accused

By the Associated Press.

Representative Maverick, Democrat,
Of Texas contended yesterday the
Supreme Court had confused the
Constitution Of the Confederate States
with that Of the United States ir
reaching decisions on national legisla-

The Texan, who introduced in the
House the court reorganization bill
last session, said, "The Nation should
present them members OF the Supreme
Court) copy OF the Constitution OF
the United States, and ask them to
follow it,"
In material for insertion in the
Congressional Record. Mr.. Maverick
compared the two Constitutions, as.
serting the Confederate document
had as its purpose the creation Of q
very weak National Government" and
"purposely" omitted the genera
welfare" clause contained in the
United States Constitution.
Continuing his criticism of the
court, Mr.. Maverick declared:
1T is rumored that one of o,Ir
newest justices has found out the
Constitution the court has been using
Is the wrong one; it is said he hasn't
screwed up his courage to tell Mr.
McReynolds of Tennessee, whom he
suspects of already knowing it, and the
new member, being gentleman
hasn't told Mr.. Roberts, a Northern
Republican, for fear of hurting his

Pursuant to these pleas. Govern

keep up purchasing power in order to

"And what happened? :.
Two things. First. the 60 families
that were master -minding private en-

about the management Of business
under modern conditions. They made
the same mistakes they had made
before 1929. They ran the stock
market up and helped 1t get started
down. They did little or nothing to
increase the purchasing power Of
labor to make up for the Government
Withdrawals and then ran prices to

spend what they graciously let him
earn.

between monopoly prices and recovery
