Peggy Garcia Faces
Prospect Of Being
Own Attorney

NEW YORK. Feb. Is G.NSD
Peggy Garcia was in a difficult
legal spot today as her 100000
breach of promise suit against
Dave Rubinoff, the violiniSt, was
scheduled for retrial in Supreme
Court.
Peggy's lawyers are busy else
where. And it was reported that
unless she found new legal talent
before the case began, she might
perform in the role of attorney
herself.
Bernard Sander, the lawyer
who made a successful plea for a
mistrial last week, announced his
withdrawal as the girls counsel
because of press of other business.
The blonde plaintiffs counsel
of record, Perry Bittel, mourning
the death of his father, through a
representative will ask a post
ponement of the hearing.
Rubinoff's attorney announced
he would fight any delay.

NAVY SPY CASE
OPENS TODAY

John 8. Farnsworth, former
lieutenant commander in the
Navy, recently held in the first
peace-time espionage conspiracy
indictment in the history of the
nation, is scheduled to face a
jury in United States District
Court today.
The former Navy officer, dis
charged several years ago, is said
to have sold important defense
information to the Japanese gov.
ernment.
Although two Japanese officers
are named as FarnSworth's al
legged coconspirators, the Ameri.
can officer will face his tallismen
alone. The two Japanese, Comdrs
Yosiyuki Itimiiya and Akira
Yamaki, formerly attached to the
japanese embassy here, have since
been recalled to their native
countries.
Farnsworth's attorneys, William
E. Leahy and William j. Hughes,
jr., sought to have the officers
execute letters to be used in the
defense of the former American
officer, but the letters were re.
fused by the Japanese imperial
government.
More than a score Of Govern
ment witnesses, many of them
now with the Pacific fleet, have
been summoned for the trial,
which is expected to last several
days.
The indictment alleges that
Farnsworth obtained a copy Of
lessons used in the Navy to In
struct officers by extension meth.
odS and had copies made which
were turned over to the Japanese
officers.

House leaders, meanwhile, dis.

ONLY HOT AIR

Those credulous and unsophisticated
souls who take the speeches of their Sen
ators and Congressman seriously may have
been rudely Jared if they read state
ment once made by Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia, who said:
In all my experience of 80 years in
Congress, have never known a speech
to change a vote
While this is rather broad assertion,
it is practically true. A large percentage
of the speeches printed in the Congress
sional Record are just so much hot air.
Many of them are never delivered at all,
but are written out and printed for dis
tribution back home for the purpose of
impressing the voters with the great states
manship of their authors
Aside from few notable exceptions,
the sole aim in life of Senator'S and Con-
gressmen is to get reelected. Every utter
ance and every vote is directed to that
end.
Therefore, oratory of colleagues does
not influence them very much. They are
thinking always about what their own con-
stituents will say, and vote accordingly,
regardless of anybody's speech

most of the news in newspaper is based
on what some member of the vast public
says, and the fact that people sometimes
twist the truth, and fool newspaper men,
explains the remark.

You and Your
Nations Affairs
1.-TWO Thirds" Court Plan
BY ERIK MCKINLEY ERICSSON
Professor of History University of Southern Cali Ori0

sufficient to reveal the truth Out of
thirty-three decisions thus far, the
New Deal has won nineteen and lost
fourteen. Only two Of those lost have
been by 5 u votes while no less than
six of those won have been by votes
of 5 to 4.
Furthermore, during the whole one
hundred and forty-eight years OF its
existence. the Supreme Court has in
validated only eleven congressional
acts in whole o. in part by such close
votes. Considering that Congress. dur
ing the same period has passed over
$4,000 public laws, one may conclude
that 5 to votes have not seriously in
terfered with the will Of Congress.
This becomes clearer when one
considers the two decisions lost by
the New Deal by t. 4 votes. The
first such decision came in 1885 in the
railroad pension case. But this de-
cision has not prevented workable
railroad pension system from being
put into operation. In the summer of
1885, new pensieT- legislation was en-
acted to replace that invalidate,. At
ter a lower court test indicated that
this too was unconstitutional. the ad-
ministratiCr ltered into compro-
mise agreement with the railroads.
As result. new legislation was en-
acted in the 1887 session of Congress.
This legislation is now in force and
the railroad operators have promised
not to attack its constitutionality.
Thus one of the to decisions against
the New Deal has been completely
nullified
The othl. to 4 decision was hand
ed down in comparatively minor
ease in 1886. This decision invalidated
congressional act which extended
federal bankruptcy privileges to wa
ter improv ement districts and other
political subdivisions of states. Such
a procedure. said the majority of the
Court. was a violation of states rights.
Even though the New Dealers have
not succeeded in getting around 1t. no
disastrous results have followed this
decision.
Where then is the excuse for two
thirds vote requirement? Those advo-
eating it are making a mountain out
of mole hill. They deserve no sup
port and certainly will not get it from
informed people who can distinguish
fact from propaganda. s

the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Then, in the face of an agreement that
a new bill would be written which
would in no way tampeT with he
highest tribunal, the Indiana Senator
announced that he would seek the
adoption of two-thirds vote require
ment.
The proposal can be dismissed as
just another instance of attempted
face saving. There is no merit in it.
Not one sound argument can be adj
vanced in its favor.
Back of the proposition, of course,
is the fallacious belief, carefully nur-
tured by the neo-New Dealers, that
the Supreme Court has persistently
invalidated laws of Congress by to
4 votes. Senator Minton is not the
only one to foster this belief. He has
been outdone b. Senator Earkley. the

Key West exports during June
totalled $S,194,894 out of S.
1886 for the entire state. This

that this city led every other city

as to make comparisons useless.
In other words So percent of the
exports of the entire state for the
