The Washington Scene
BY HENRY ION
Federated Press

WASHINGTON. = (FP) - Once
again the nine old men of the SUI
preme Court have squeezed through
with their skins intact. Predatory
interests, parading beneath the cloak
of liberalism, have beaten down the
President and once again conquered
over an indifferent populace.
But the battle has not been entire
ly lost and notice has been served
on the court that it may not ruth
lessly and without regard defy the
will of the people as expressed
through congressional legislation.
For a year, two years, or longer the
court will be reminded that only its
grace in giving in on such laws as
the National Labor Relations Act
and the Social Security Act saved its
collective neck from the guillotine.
Perhaps one reason the court fight,
insofar as it relates to the Supreme
Court, was lost was because the issue
was not presented ~squarely. Second
guessing is an easy and popular
pasttime, but the impression here
prevails that had the President dealt
more with the Supreme Court as an
institution of government and less
with the Supreme Court as a group
of men with an average age that de-
fled insurance company statistics, he
would have been on sounder ground.
The Presidents proposal, it is felt,
as presented last February was
makeshift and avoided the issue of
the Supreme Court as a bottle-neck
in government through which it is
possible for a small number of men
to retard the democratic processes.
AS has been pointed out, 100000
people elect 531 representatives who
must submit their actions for ap-
proval to nine persons chosen, for
the most part, for political services
rendered the ruling group.
Rather than remove the bottle
neck the President sought to change
the nature of the obstruction and he
was met with the argument that the
obstruction was not obstructing. Any
counter-argument was necessarily
based on conjecture and therefore
carried less weight though not less
validity.
Beaten, the President tries to make
the best of it and to point out that
the court has been scared into tenn
porary submission and will be
slapped down next time it gets can
tankerous. What effect his defeat
by the reactionary wing of his own
party in Congress will have on his
political future remains for the 1888
elections to tell. Andrew Jackson,
Theodore Roosevelt and other Presi-
dents argued with the court and
came out with few scars.

CHICAGO, Feb. / O.N.SD.
Wheat continued to push forward
in early trading today, advancing

Citizens Upset on
Cord Definition

MOORHEAD, MINI (U.P)-What
the citizens of Moorhead and
Fargo, N. D., would like to know
is-how much is cord of wood?
Complaints reached the city
fathers of the adjoining towns
concerning discrepancies in the
measurement of sawed and split
wood. Town officials looked into
the problem and found the cause
of complaints.
The Minnesota state law, gov
erning in Moorhead, calls for 1873
cubic feet when the wood is cut in
4-foot lengths, 160 cubic feet of
sawed under feet, and 176 cubic
feet if sawed and split.
But in Fargo the law specifies
1913 cubic feet as a cord, and the
only other requirement is that if
sawed into 20-inch lengths $50 Gu
bic feet must be delivered.
Fuel dealers of the two cities
are expected to confer and arrive
at a compromise solution of the
problem.

CHEROKEE INDIANS MAKE LAST
STAND AGAINST GOVERNMENT

ASHFVILE. n. c. The Cher
okee Indians are making a last
stand against the Federal govern
ment.
In this instance they are refus-
ing to barter their rights for a
parkway in Western North Caro-
lima. The Indians want to squat
along the Blue Ridge Parkway and
sell bead work and pottery. and
the government wants a right-of-
way with easements.
The issue in the controversy
hinges on the governments de-
mand for control of 400 feet of
land on each side of the parkway
entering the Great Smoky Park
today. but they fear loss of squat
ter rights" on each side OF the
parkway.
Chief Jarrett Blythe urged his
tribe to give the land for the park
way and the easements" Instead,
the tribesmen have followed the
leadership of their vice-chief, Fred
Bauer. While the National Park
Service has agreed to permit the
Indians to keep on farming their
land along the parkway all the
way up TO the construction line,
even though Easements" are
granted, they have been told by
Bauer that if they grant easements
for 400 feet on each side of the
proposed right-of way. the Federal
government at any time can force
them out of this area; prevent
them from selling their trinkets
and handicraftS along the high
way. and even prevent them from
using the parkway with their cars
trucks and wagons.
Indians Not Reassured
The park service, the Indian
Bureau. the Department of the In
terror and even the North Carolina
State Highway Commission for
more than three years have been
trying to convince the Indians that
they would not be deciding away
any of their lands or forfeiting any
of their rights.
The park service has even
agreed to build the Cherokees a
large and completely equipped
trading post where they could sell
their native handicrafts to tourists
on a cooperative basis. 1t also has
offered to build hotel ON the res
ervation which would offer en-
ployment and profit TO more Indi-
ans An exchange of land was Sllp-
geSted under which the Indians
would be given some 1.5O0 acres of
good. fertile land now in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
in exchange for the 1000 acres
needed for the parkway.
Routing May Be Necessary
Some months ago it was feared
that the refusal of the Cherokees
to grant the right-of-way and

EMPLOYMENT
DROP STUDIED

CHICAGO, Nov. 18. (UP)-The

board met in closed session today
to survey reports from more than
1000 manufacturing companies that
employment had dwindled 43 per
cent in the last month and was
ga per cent below August.
Data obtained by the conference
board in telegraphic survey show
ed that 926,368 workers were en-
ployed in 81 industries on Nov. 13,
compared with 967,510 in October
and 989,669 in August. The pres
ent total, however, is 0.6 per cent

employed in November a year ago.

easements for the parkway from
Soco Gap to Cherokee might mean
the loss of the gateway to the
park to North Carolina and posi-
bly, the loss of the parkway itself
west of Asheville. There were indi-
cations that the parkway might be
re-routed north and west of Ashe-
vile into Tennessee and enter the
park on the Tennessee side. MAX
ing the Cherokee reservation the
back door instead of the front door
to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park.
Recently. however, Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes indi-
Gated that the parkway will be
built along the original route sur
veyed in North Carolina, and that
contracts will be awarded in the
spring for sectors west of Ashe-
vile. He also limited that if the
Indians do not agree between now
and spring, the parkway may be
routed around the reservation and
enter the. national park at some
other point, possibly Smokemont,
where preliminary work is under
way on a large hotel similar to
those in other national parks.
Authority for granting the right
of-way for the parkway is still in
the hands of the tribal council
composed of Chief Blythe, Vice
Chief Bauer, and IL members,
elected by the tribe. In March
1887, the tribal council debated the
parkway question for three days.
and then defeated the proposal by

Former Fertile
Acres Reclaimed

PUEBLO, Colo. CU.P.) The for
merly fertile acres of southeastern
Colorado, part of the "dust bowl
area of the southwest, slowly are
being reclaimed from the clutches
OF dust and drouth by cultiva-
ton of the dreaded Russian
thistle, agricultural ut h critics
said
1t was believed that only a
small area of the nine Colorado
counties included in the so-called
dust bowl" has suffered perma-
nent injury from the drouth and
dust of recent years.
The farmers of the area have
found that deep listing will check
wind erosion and eventually re-
store the land to fertility. If the
land is allowed to stand idle after
listing, the thistles help to regrass
the ground. The "tumbleweed. +"
which at one time periled the
entire area, has become a friend
in the struggle to reclaim the
land. The thistle acts as a nurse
to the buffalo grass by protecting
it from the wind and sun. When
the ground becomes matted with
grass, it turns migrate" and kills
off the thistles.
In addition to aiding in the
reclamation, the thistle furnishes
valuable feed for livestock when
it is cut and properly cured.
Chief fear of farmers in the
area is the possibility of a grass
hopper infestation next year more
severe than during the past sum-
mer.

Gerald wandered from his home,

several minutes. His father, in

Going closer, he found only his

cued, the boy was revived by arti-
ficial respiration and oxygen at a
