Roosevelt to Renew
Life of His Policies

The Supreme Court, which out
lawed the NRA, the AAA, the CUT
fey coal act and lesser conStella-
tions in the New Deal sky, now has
either before it or enroute to 1t
other cases involving New Deal
principles. There is the Wagner
labor relations act, for example,
which imprisons within a statute
the right of labor to bargain col
lectively, which was one Of the
principles of the old NRA.
In varying degree, provisions Of
the social security act, the truth
in-securities act, the holding COM
pany act, the IVA and other en-
actmentS of the past. few years
will come before the Court in one
form or another.
Courts Called Backward
It was these things that the
President had in mind when he
chided the courts for not keeping
in step with the executive and
legislative branches Of the Gov
ernment, in their efforts to work
out from under a great national
catastrophe-the depression.
It was of more than passing
significance that he went to par
ticular pains to commend the
legislative branch, that is, Con-
gress, for it's cooperation and
willingness to lend shoulder to
the wheel of the executive wagon,
while condemning in unmistakable
terms the "backwardness" of the
courts.
Congress has to take so much
abuse from the public-and occa'
sionally from the Executive-that
praise and commendation is music
to it's ears. And that will stand
Mr.. Roosevelt in good stead if
and when he determines to call
for legislative help in curbing the
power of the Judiciary.
Wants Labor Control
Mr.. Roosevelt believes it is nee
eSsary to give the Federal Govern
ment some authority over hours
and wages of labor. Without il
he does not see how child labor
can be abolished, sweat-shopS
wiped out, and the standard Of
living improved for the millions
who toll.
Yet the Supreme Court SAID
unanimously in outlawing the
NRA that this authority was with
out the province of the Fedora
Government. And in it's invalida
tion of the New York minimum
wage law, the court also said, ir
effect, that the individual State
could not have such authority
either,

FRANK CUSTER
HELD SURE
BY HAZEL MACDONALD


MADISON, Wis, Jan. 7 QN.SO.
This is the day when President
Glenn Frank is slated to be fired
by the board of regents of the Uni
verSity of Wisconsin.
Only a miracle, like a change OF
vote by one of the majority OF
eight regents who agreed on
Franks dismissal, before the pub
lie hearing OF charges against him
began, can alter the course Of his
destiny.
Outcome Assumed
The public hearing went on to
its second day with the regents
sitting stubbornly tight in their
cramped little committee room in
Bascomb Hall. Students and
townspeople, for whom were no
seats, clogged the exits trying to
attend the trial.
Although the outcome is pretty
well known, both factions of the
board, the one that supports
Frank and the one that he claims
is taking orders from Governor
Phil La Toilette in opposing him,
played the comedy out with mock
earnestnesS.
President Frank was ready to
present what he termed "a man
agement engineers survey" of the
| II years of his administration.
Reiterates Charges
Harold M. Wilkie, Madison at
torney, president of the board of
is regents which is said to stand
8 to 7 in favor of Franks dis
missal, opened the hearing with
the reading of a 47-page document
in which he reiterated and elab-
grated on the six charges he made
against DR.. Frank on December
16.
Generally, DE-. Frank is charged
with being an incompetent ad'
miniStrator.
Wilkie interpreted the attitude
of the faculty toward DR.. Frank,
declaring:
president Frank has not re-
tained the confidence of the
great majority of his faculty.
He has not their confidence
either as educator or admins
TRAITOR"
Wilkie said he had reached the
conclusion long ago that DR.
Frank was more of a journalis'
and publicist than he was an ex
ecutive or educator.

After exhibiting record-shatter-
ing haste in enacting a Spanish
arms embargo on its first legis-
lative day, Congress slowed down
to a walk today, pending the in
auguration of President Roosevelt
for a second term January 20.
Administration leaders hoped
for action on six important meas
ures by February /, but only two
of these were of an emergency
character. There were the eX-
piration on January 81 Of the Gov
ernment's authority to operate a
two-billion-dollar fund to stabilize
the dollar and the expiration Feb
ruary / of the RFC.
The Administration was under
stood to favor continuance OF the
fund and the RFC. This means
Congress must prepare the neceS-
sary legislation before January 20
so it can be enacted in time.
Four Main Issues
The other four measures on
which action is expected this
month are:
/. The Reconstruction Finance
Mortgage Corporation, which ex-
pired December 81.
2. The Soil Conservation Serv.
ice, which expired December 81.
8. The Presidents power to
devalue the gold content of the
dollar, which will expire Janu-
ary 81.
The Electric Home and Farm
Authority, which expired Feb
ruary /.
The Presidents authority to
slash the gold content of the dol
lar was enacted in the same law
two years ago that created the
huge currency stabilization fund,
Many leading financial authorities
in Congress now wish to separate
these powers, so that the stabiliza.
ton fund can be made permanent,
while extending the President S
goldSlaShlng powers only CempOr'
arily.
Glass for Static Dollar
Senator Glass CD, of Virginia
. noted banking authority, was
said to favor separation of the
powers. He was reported to be op'
posed to extension of the gold
slashing power, on the ground the
dollar should be held permanently
at it's present gold content-ever
though American citizens are still
unable to get any gold or gold
certificates.

President Roosevelt left no
doubt in the minds of the legisla-
tors of the new and turbulently
democratic Seventy-fifth Congress
today that he intends to revive the
outlawed principles of the orig
inal New Deal-courts to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
He made that crystal clear in
his opening message, which while
oStenSibly addressed to the coor-
dinate legislative branch of the
Government, in reality was di-
rected Squarely at the Supreme
Court and to the lesser Federal
judiciary, which collectively have
hamstrung important sections OF
the New Deal with injunctionS and
invalidations.
Determined on Course
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes it can be
accomplished during the next four
years without resort to the tortu
Gus method of a constitutional
amendment, but if it can't be done
then he is entirely reconciled tc
amending the basic law, loath al
he is to take that method.
On this point he said:
During the past year there
has been a growing belief that
there is little fault to be found
with the Constitution Of the
United States as it stands today.
The vital need is not an altera-
tiOn Of our fundamental law, but
an increasingly enlightened view
with reference to it. Difficulties
have grown out of its interpre-
tatiOn; but rightly considered.
it can be used as an instrument
of progress, and not as a device
for prevention of action"
COURTS GET WARNING
At another point. he said:
"Means must be found to
adapt our legal forms and our
judicial Interpretation to the
actual present national needs Of
the largest progressive national
democracy in the modern world"
And still again:
"The judicial branch Is asked
by the people to do its part in
making democracy successful.
We do not ask the courts to call
nOn-existent powers into being.
but we have a right to expect
that conceded powers, or those
legitimately implied, shall be
made effective instruments for
the common good"
The effects of this warning
and it is a rebuke 10 the judiciary
as we'll as a warning - will b
closely watched in the decision
that are now pending on New Dea
legislative acts.
