Supreme Court Expected To Rule On WagnerLaw Today

from the bench because of illness. The federal laws provisions, directly involving the right of the federal government to encourage unemploy- ment insurance plans by the states, have not been considered yet by the court. The decision, it was believed, might also affect the old age pen- sion system, of the social security program.
 The Wagner act tests involve con- troversies between:
 The Washington, Virginia and Maryland Coach Company and the National Labor Relations Board over the carriers alleged discrimin- ation against employees who had joined labor union.
 The Associated Press and the la bor board involving a reporter, Nor ris Watson, who, the board held, was discharged for union activities.
 The Jones and Laughlin Steel Company and the Labor Board over alleged anti-union activities against employees of its Aliquippa. Pa. works.
 The Fruehauf Trailer Company of Detroit, Mich. and the Labor Board over the discharge of plant em- ployes.
 The Friedman Harry Marks Clothing Company of Richmond. Va, and the board over alleged discrimination against union or ganization in the company's plant.
 The lower courts have upheld the law as applied to the Bus Com pany and the Associated Press. They have condemned 1t as applied to the steel, motor and clothing industries.

 There is no question of foul play" 1" Dr. Brown said today. "The poe sition of the body in the car. the fact that the battery was not run down and that the gasoline tank was half full, makes 1t so doubtful.

CCC CORPS MAY
 BE PERMANENT
President Sends Message to Congress; Enrolment
 Made Only 100000

Washington, April - (UP) - President Roosevelt recommended today that the Civilian Conservation Corps be made a permanent part of the federal recovery and relief pro- gram. In a special message to con- gress, MT. Roosevelt proposed that the maximum enrolment of eco youths be set at 300,000, together with 10000 Indians and 5000 en- rollees in territories and insular possessions. In setting that figure for corps enrolment, the president withstood congressional pressure for increased eco personnel. ITO go beyond this number at this time" he said, would involve difficulties "and the additional cost would seriously affect the financial position of the treasury"
 Fourth Anniversary
 MT. Roosevelt sent his special message to congress on the fourth anniversary of the date he eStan- lished eco by executive order.
 The recommendation for perma- nent CCC was in direct line with the presidents statement last week that future government spending will be designed to stimulate con- sumers good industries such as food and clothing, instead of dur able goods such as steel, copper and cement.
 The CCC uses relatively little heavy material, employing most of its efforts on reforestation, reclama- ton and checking soil erosion. A bulk of eco money goes direct to needy families, whose sons send them a major portion of their pay check each month.
 Cost $500, 100000
 Cost of maintaining about 30O,O0O eco youths in camps will be $300,-

YOUTH ASSERTS
 HE IS BURGLAR
Argued With Boston Police That He Was Famous
 BOudOir Bandit

Boston, April 5. (UP)--A remorse- full youth of 19, who allegedly argued with police for more than an hour to convince them he was the 'bou- doir bandit" who burglarized 40 houses, robbed five drunks and stole two automobiles, faced court ar- raignment today.
 Leonard Cantillo, 19, of Dorchester telephoned Dudley street police sta- ton early yesterday from tele- phone booth.
 I'm the boudoir bandit" he said. Send a car for me-"
 Sergeant Albert F. Madden, be- lieving the caller 8 prankster, re- fused and told him to take taxi.
 Offered to Pay for Taxi
 'If your story is right, I'll pay for the taxi" Madden said.
 Minutes later Cantillo walked into the station, trailed by taxi driver, whom Madden paid.
 Then Cantillo allegedly began a long narrative of his eScapadeS dur ing the past two years. Houses burg larized, police quoted him, included those of former Mayor John r. Fitz- gerald and policeman whose name was withheld. He estimated total loot at $500.
 Fled to New York
 In September. Cantillo said, he fled to New York to escape ques- tioning in a store burglary. The $1,- 900 which he took with him soon was squandered on liquor and wom- en, police said he told them, and 1t was after days of begging that he decided to return to Boston and sur render.
 T got tired of it all" police quoted Cantillo. T did wrong and now I want to pay my debt to the law and start out right again"
 Cantillo, both of whose parents are dead, said he tried repeatedly to obtain WPA or PWA work before turning to crime.
