News Behind the News
Beating the Gun . Professor FaUors
Court Plan And St-DOICn
Strikes, Too

WASHINGTON.-ProfeSsor Leon Green bril-
liant dean OF the Northwestern University law
school and visiting law professor at Yale this
year. didn't get out of town minute too soon.
Green testified before the Senate Judiciary
Committee in favor of the Presidents Supreme
Court plan. Opposition senators did their best
TO pick his testimony to pieces, but Green ac-
quilted himself ably under cross examination
and no senator was able to shout him down.
The best his questioners could do was to
show that previously he had expressed diss-
milar views in speeches or writings
But the very next day came magazine onto
the news stands in which Green had article
defending legality of the sitdown strike. This
was all the conservative senators would have
needed. They would have had field day with
the professor.
The orthodox point of view is that sitdown
strike is a serious violation of law and order,
that it constitutes trespaSs and that the founda-
tionS of our government are ripped aSunder
few more yards for every additional day striker
is allowed to remain in factory, hotel or five
and-ten-cent store.
Yet Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
cautiously remarked some time ago that the
legality of the sitdown strike had yet to be de-
termined.
And you can find many New Deal lawyer
who will privately talk your ear off to demon
strate that the sitdown striker and his strike
usually have as much standing in the courts
as the employer and his property.
Green says, in his magazine article, that the
case for the sitdown strike rests upon four
fundamental propositions:
Il. Employees have interest in the indus
trial relation distinct from any property inter-
est or interest of personality. Such interest is
a valuable one of the same dignity as that of
property and is given the recognition and pro-
lection Of the courts property.
%. Disputes between employers and employees,
with respect to industrial relations, involve eco
nomic and political questions outside the juris-
dictions of the courts; the problems involved
are of such great difficulty administratively
that courts will not undertake TO adjudicate
them but will leave them to other agencies of
government, and to the parties themselves in
the absence of such agencies.
"3. Courts will not prejudice the issues be-
tween industrial employers and employees by
Stunning jurisdiction of issues incidental to the
main dispute in absence of physical violence or
fraud directed against the persons or property
of the parties.
a Occupation in good faith and peacefully
of a plant devoted to industry by employees
awaiting the adjustment of differences growing
out of the industrial relation is but an incident
of the industrial relation and in no sense un-
lawful"
Courts have shown no tendency to follow
the legal philosophy of Professor Green.

you may learn some interesting
things about the publics regard for
Mr.. Roosevelt: but the really in
teresting thing is that for the
overwhelming majority the ques-
tion of third term is a matter of
personality rather than of principle.
If Fortunes survey represents
the nation as whole, only a small
segment of the population-some-
thing like one-third of the total
number-is opposed to the idea of
a third term as such. The remaiuL-
der would be for it or against
depending on who was seeking it.
So it looks as if the unwritten law
laid down by Washington, indorsed
by Jefferson, subscribed to by long
succession of great presidents, and
enforced by the general public on
the misguided Grant, had lost most
of its appeal.
The people seem to be ready 10
throw it overheard if they are
asked in the right way.
Now it is worth remembering
that this unwritten law has be-
come a very important part of our
scheme of government
We give our president greater
powers than are given to an cleo
tive officer by any other democracy
on earth; and one of the chief rea-
sons why we can do it without
undermining our democracy is th-.
fact that we know in advaly
that he isn't in there for keeps.
He gets eight years, at the most.
No matter what his popularity. no
matter how effective his political
machine, tradition calls on him
to step down at the end of his
second term.
Suppose now, that this tradition
has become ineffective. Overnight
one of our democracy's chief safe
guards is lost We have tacitly
invited the first able and popular
leader who comes along to give us
his services for life.
We could do great deal worse,
during the next year or so, than
to examine this third term ira
'dition thoroughly and decide anew
whether it is not a tradition worth
keeping.

sweeping terraces and golf

Beautifully groomed and
smartly gowned ladies chatted
gaily, thoroughly enjoying the
delicious luncheon. Costumes,
rich in color, material and style,
lent a cosmopolitan touch to a
really beautiful scene which
seemed to be more Of a fashion
parade than a benefit luncheon.
Exciting talk Of the Army-Navy

by many members. Others
spoke Of European trips, while
other chatter pertained to,
household problems, club news
and. most interesting of all,
their children.
PRESIDENT BUSY
Charming Mrs. Thomas E.
Neill, president Of the club, was
busy welcoming the many mem.
bers. Dressed in a black crepe
gown, cut on simple lines with
a high neckline adorned with a
small rhinestone clip, and top
ping it off with a black felt tur-
ban trimmed with Persian lamb,
Mrs. Neill looked smart and
Svelte.
One of the smartest costumes
seen was that worn by Mrs. Bur-
ton Glenn, another member.
Her gown of black wool, with
high cowl neckline, was exquis"
itely embroidered in a beautiful
design with fine gold metallic
threads which adorned the
pockets Of the bodice and
formed wide band around the
cuffs of her. long tight sleeves.
Completing her costume with
a Russian hat adorned with a
small nose veil and rhinestone
clip, Mrs. Glenn carried out the
Russian style to perfection.
Another charming member
was Mrs. Fred Sanderson, pub
ncity chairman, whose spontan.
eouS gaiety, hide-and7seek
dtmples intrigue and fascinate
her many friends. Her sea.
green wool sports model, rich in
its simplicity was set off to an
advantage by a brown off-the.
face suede hat and brown &C
ceSSorieS. With it she wore a
lovely silver charm bracelet
with the many charms tinkling
softly as she moved.
Also seen was Mrs. William
Herbst in a three-piece sports
suit composed of black wool
skirt, black and gray mixed
tweed jacket and topper. Be-
meath her jacket could be
glimpsed a green crepe blouse,
the collar of which was neatly
adorned with a sports bar pin.

Benefit Pdrtu
By Auxiliary
"And now abideth faith, hope,

"And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the
greatest Of these is charity"
One Of, the Two most impor-
tant annual functions given by
the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Dis
trict Medical Society was the
benefit luncheon and card party
held yesterday afternoon at the
Washington Golf and Country
Club. This event which usually
takes piace when the Christmas
spirit first begins to make itself
evident, is for the purpose of
raising funds for charitable
work done by the organization
at Christmas time.
PARTY is SUCCESS
With a large outpouring Of
members and guests, the social
function held yesterday was a
huge success. with nearly 800
attending Not only does the
club endeavor to raise funds for
its own purposes but also takes
particular interest in sponsoring
the sale of articles made by
members of the District Of Co.
lumbia Home for the Blind.
Two tables displaying various
articles, such as knitting bags,
beautifully dressed dolls. en-
broiderec luncheon sets, dainty
aprons, tea towels and hooked
rugs, were advantageouSly placed
where members, profiting by the
opportunity Of doing some
Christmas shopping early, were
busy making purchases. The
money acquired from this sale
reverts directly to the maker Of
the article.
Another of its commendable
interests is the Washington
Heart Clinic, where children con-
fined to the institution are
visited by the st. Nicholas of the
club, who presents them with
the traditional red stocking
filled with all sorts of surprises,
candies and toys. This year,
plans are being made to dis
tribute ITS of these gifts.
ALSO AID NEEDY
Individual care for the needy
is also provided by the ladies'
auxiliary, and many other char.
liable acts have been performed
by them in their IL years of
existence.
The entire clubhouse was
turned over to the women for
their party. Tables in the large
ballroom formed a horse shoe.
Smaller tables, seating four and
eight guests, were placed on the
veranda. The large paneled
windows, with russell print
drapes drawn back, afforded the

The latest woman member of
the Senate, Senator Graves had
been somewhat of an unknown
quantity" and the member were
all anxious to see and hear her.
Senator Graves gave an ideal
istic talk, during which she
urged the women to be the
messengers" of democracy. She
declared:
Upon your integrity as a
messenger will depend largely
the fate of this democracy. I
do believe that democracy Is the
best answer to Communism,
FaScisrn and other isrnS. Women
have heard the call of democ-
racy and they are answering
from all part Of the country"
z4AUDs U. s. AID
Outlining happenings of the
Democratic regime, the lady
Senator remarked:
when we all over the coun.
try could not help ourselves due
to paralyzed conditions of the
depression, our Government
stepped in. To m it seems that
this action preserved the morale
of the country-the openin. Of
closed banks, the feeding of the
hungry, caring for the sick and,
above all, giving those who were
down something to do. This
preservation of the morale of
our citizens is important and
believe that the Democratic
party save AmericaniSm for
our country"
Senator Graves was enthusias-
tic in her praise Of President
Roosevelt, whom she portrayed
as a saviour Of the people. She
asserted:
THAT man sitting in the
White House is watching out for
us-to us, his people, he is
giving every ounce Of strength
that a great leader possesses.
I am convinced that when
the Maste' Of Mortals records
the deeds Of men, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt will be placed
upon that record as one who
loved his fellow men,"
FILLS BLACKS PLACE
Senator Graves, recently
appointed by her husband,
governor Of Alabama, to fill the
unexpired term Of Hugo L.
Black, who was removed from
the Senate by his appointment
to the United States Supreme
Court, was wearing a fashion
able black velvet dress and hat.
In introducing Senator Graves,
Mrs. Ernest, II. Daniel pictured
her as q tlomemaker'' and said
she has done much for the
development of her State, with
out forgetting her own domestic
duties. Mrs. Daniel looked quite
smart in her black ensemble.
Her peaked hat with its veil and
tall cocky feather was chic.
She wore a long double-strand
necklace of gold beads.
Mrs. Wilbur w. Hubbard,
president of the club, was

with a becoming tri-cornered
hat.
