guilty of treason, did not actually
participate in terroristic and wreck

neutral observers that they had
been spared in order to get their

g. That two-thirds of the Supreme

5. That the Supreme Court shall

in the lower courts.
The President also proposed re-
form in the injunctive process which
he declared would expedite Supreme
Court rulings on the constitutionality
of legislation and would further in
sure equality" and certainty of
federal justice. He said frequent in
functions which set aside acts of
congress are Sin clear violation of
the principle of equity that injunc-
tons should be granted only in those
rare cases of manifest illegality and
irreparable damage against which
the ordinary course of the law offers
no protection"
He asked that congress forbid any
injunction or decision by any federal
court touching constitutional ques-
ton without previous and ample
notice" to the attorney general to
give the government an opportunity
"to present evidence and be heard"
His bill proposed that any lower
court decision which involved con-
stitutional question be appealed di-
rectly to the Supreme Court, where
it would take immediate precedence
over all other business.
New Deal leaders in congress
were expected to back the Presi-
dents proposals solidly, while it be-
came apparent that the conservative
Democrats might align with the
solid Republican group in opposing
it. The latter group saw in the bill
a direct attempt to get rid of some
of the older justices of the Supreme
Court who have proved continual
stumbling blocks for pet New Deal
acts.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, approaching rs, has voted
sometimes to sustain, sometimes to
invalidate New Deal laws. Justice
Willis Van Deventer, rs, has invari-
ably opposed New Deal laws; so
have James Clark McReynolds, rs;
George Sutherland, rs, and Pierce
Butler, II. Louis Dembitz Brandeis,
30, has voted to sustain New Deal
acts, except tin the cast of the MIRA,
rejected by unanimous decision.
If the President is successful in
putting over the proposed changes
it will be the eighth time in the 148
years of the Supreme Courts history
that the number of justices has been
changed. The largest number ever
to sit on the bench was 10 from 1868
to 1866, and the smallest number 5
from 1901 to 1902.

Cairo appeared to have won the
fight to save the fertile lands along
the river from the great flood. But
engineers warned that the danger of
inundation was not yet over. How
ever, most of the levees were hold
ing and the winds that had been
driving the waters against them
were subsiding. About 100000 in-
habitants of the valley had been
forced to abandon their homes, but
the Red Cross and other relief agen-
cies were caring for them. At Cairo
and Hickman were plenty of coast
guard boats and barges ready to
rescue the people if the embank-
ments gave way.

Bessie Landing, Tenn, levee all but
encircled Tiptonville, Tenn, an
spread over adjacent thousands of
acres. Backwaters continued to har-
ass lowland jewellers in Mississippi
and Louisiana but engineers re-
manned firm in the conviction the
worst definitely would be over when
the crests pass Arkansas and Ten
nessee.
Harry Hopkins, WPA administra-
tor, and other members of the spe-
cial flood relief committee named
by President Roosevelt, went to the
flood areas with the expressed in
tention of seeing that the job of car
ing for the refugees was well done.
Mr.. Hopkins indicated he was pre-
pared to spend $3.50, 1000, OO0-the en-
tire deficiency work relief budget
for food relief if necessary.
nR. STANLEY HIGH, religious
~ publicist who has been promi-
nent among the administration sup
porters, is out of Presidential favor.
He has been cashing in on his
closeness to the White House by
writing for periodicals, and his lat
est article, entitled "Whose Party
Is It?'', in the Saturday Evening
Post, brought this statement re-
leased by Assistant White House
Secretary Early:
'The President announced the
death of the official spokesman in
March, 1888. He now announces the
passing of the so-called authorita-
tive spokesman-those who write as
'one of the Presidents closest ad-
visers.'"
Though High was not named, Mr..
Early left no doubt as to who was
meant.
ITALY and Turkey settled their
disputes in conferences between
their foreign ministers, Count Ga
leazzo Ciano and DR.. Tewfik Rustu
Aras. Italy will participate in the
Montreux convention which gave
Turkey the right to rearm the OAR
danelles, and Turkey is assured
that Italian ambitions to possess
Turkish Anatolia have been aban-
doned.
It was believed Mussolini consid-
cred the time ripe to make friends
with Turkey, first allaying Turkish
suspicious and defining spheres of
influence, in the hope Italy could
WOO Turkey from friendship with
Moscow.

proved projects, and ALLEGATION of
the funds to a permanent public
works or development agency.
AS the chief part of the plan, Mr..
Roosevelt presented congress with
a list of some $2,750. 000.0 1000 worth
of water conservation projects, in
Guiding a $116,000,0 900 fiood-control
program in the inundated Ohio and
Mississippi river valleys.
In his transmission message the
President warned congress against
considering each project as sep
arate entity. The report, he said,
SHOULD, of course, be read in con-
j notion with the recommended
tons for highways, bridges, dams,
flood control, and so forth, already
under construction, estimates TO
which have been submitted in the
budget"
"During the depression" he told
congress, 1--WE have substantially in
creased the facilities and developed
the resources of our country for the
common welfare through public
works and work-relief programs.
"We have been compelled to I'M
dertake actual work somewhat hur-
riedly in the emergency.
''Now it is time to develop long.
range plan and policy for construc-
tion-to provide the best use of our
resources and to prepare in advance
against any other emergency"
The committee that drew up this
program includes, besides Mr..
Ickes, Secretary of War Harry H.
Woodring, WPA Administrator Har-
ry Hopkins, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins, Secretary
of Commerce Daniel c. Roper,
Frederic A. Delano, uncle of the
President, and Charles E. Merriam,
University of Chicago professor.
N ESPITE the warm opposition of
~ Democratic Senator ]. w. Bail
ey of North Carolina and others,
including the few Republicans, the
senate passed the house deficiency
relief bill carrying an appropria-
ton of $948, TIE, 1858.
Senator Bailey spoke in support of
his amendment which would require
a means test, or ''pauper's OATH"
as some have called it, for states,
counties, and their political subdi-
visions to secure federal aid for
their relief requirements. TIL e
amendment was rejected without a
record vote.
Out of the total allocated in the
bill for "relief and work relief"
about $3.50, 900, 900 was expected to
be given to the Works Progress Adj
ministration. From this fund aid
will be given to victims of floods in
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
ITO FINANCE for another year
l. the social security board, vet
erans' administration and about
thirty other federal agencies, the
house appropriated one billion, for
ty six million dollars. The bill,
passed without a record vote, car
ried last minute amendment pro-
viding that none of the funds APP
propriated should be available to
pay for the expenses of any con-
gressional investigation. This
amendment was aimed at senate
investigations such as the La Fol-
lette and Wheeler inquiries.

Quick Relief with
2 Bayer Aspirin Tablets

The modern way to ease a cold is
this: Two Bayer Aspirin tablets the
moment you feel a cold coming on.
Repeat, if necessary, in two hours. If
you also have a sore throat due to
the cold, dissolve 3 Bayer tablets in
"a glass of water and gargle with this
twice. The Bayer Aspirin you take
internally will act to combat fever,
aches, pains which usually accompany
cold. The gargle will provide almost
instant relief from soreness and raw
ness of your throat. Your doctor, we
feel sure, will approve this modern
way. Ask your druggist for genuine
Bayer Aspirin by its full name - not
by the name aspirin" alone.
