NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WILL CROP CONTROL STAND?

The Supreme Court held in the A. A. A. deeis,oh
that Congress had no power to controf Proaue',o
of crops and that even voluntary compliance WIZ"
the law by farmers did not validate the act
And still the loans to cotton and wheat growers
which seem in sight, are based on coh'pro-
mise agreement whereby the president mas eo"-
gresS pledged to enact crop control !eglsla''oh q"
the first order of business at the new session next
January and is to have pledges of farmers rece'-
ing loans this year that they will accept any KIND
of crop control act that may be evolved,
1t is said to be the boast of senator's boosting
the plan that there will be no trouble in obtaining
pledges from the farmers so long as they get the
loans and subsidies. Perhaps they right, but
what becomes of the agreement and the pledges
if the supreme court refuses to reverse itself ana
nvalidates the new crop control act as 1t did the
old Agricultural Adjustment Act?
Impartial lawmakers are cited authority for
the prediction that the arrangement is likely
to be trouble-breeder because, as they see it, 1t
is practically impossible to frame crop-contro
bill that will stand up in the supreme court as now
constituted or it is likely to be constituted when
the new act comes before it-Since the court re-
vision program of the president has been scrapped
After ALL the final word will be said by the SUI
preme court and not by the farmers or congress
or the president. And it was by six to three vote
that the court invalidated the old A. A. A. Even
with Justice Black on the bench, the decision would
have been five to four, which would have invadat-
ed it just as effectively as did the more one-sided
vote.
However. the court did hint that the general
welfare" power to tax and spend money might
have been invoked to aid agriculture, and some
are now saying that the next crop control bill will
be based on the general welfare clause and not on
the power to regulate interstate commerce. If so,
there remains a possibility that the new control
act may stand, but it is doubtful. At any rate,
there is no certainty that the new legislation will
not be declared unconstitutional.--Char OBJ

AN UNWISE PROCEDURE

The way Vice President Gar
ner as president of the senate
rammed the lower court reform
bill through the other day is not
conducive to confidence. The bill
seems to be very good and prob
ably Mr.. Garner felt justified in
blocking debate and in getting the
act adopted willy-nilly. But he
employed a questionable practice.
The strong bulwark of democratic
government is confidence that
there will always be honesty in
government. Our public officials
would do well to avoid anything
which has even the appearance of
political trickery.
Anyhow, the duty Of a presid-
ing officer Of a deliberative body
is not to jam motions through or
to defeat them, but to maintain
orderly procedure that the mem
bers may have every opportunity

! A MOTHER kind of trouble
making is in prospect through
the likelihood that q 5 to 4 de-
ciSion with Black on the majority
side will sooner or later bring a
legal test Of the validity of Blacks
presence on the bench. You can't
be sure, but it is considered a fair
bet that some litigant who comes
out on the short end of such q de-
ciSion will claim that Black isn't
a justice and will then refuse tc
obey the law.
The prospect of fighting the
validity of Blacks appointment
up through to the Supreme Court,
where Justice McReynoldS and
perhaps otherS-poSsibly even a
majority-might hold that Black
had no business there is so bizarre
yet far from impossible that the
courts dignity might be seriously
endangered.
Arguments have been made that
no vacancy existed in the court
"a contention which made no
great dent in view Of Justice Van
Devanter's retirement-and that
Black was disqualified because he
voted for the retirement act, car
rying retirement emoluments, I'M
der which Van Devanter resigned.
IF Justices Hughes and Roberts
- keep voting for New Deal laws
as they did this, year, Roosevelt
will have a "liberal majority" of
6 to. 3 now that Black is tc be a
justice. But there is no assurance
of that and if those twain return
to the narrow interpretations they
made in the 6 to decision against
AAA the conservative justices
will outnumber the liberals by
5 to 4.
The one thing certain is that
Blacks appointment passes the
scales OF justice TO Chief Justice
who will now be the man
in the middle.

THE N wv DE AL
IN WASHINGTON
RODNEY DuTCHER----
BY RODNEY DUTCIilin
,NEA Service StaT Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Friends anc
y foes of Senator Hugo BLACK
agree alike that the brief disturb
ance in the Senate over his con-
firmation is likely to prove mere
pop-gun stuff as compared with
what may happen after he gets on
the Supreme Court.
1t is not necessary to impugn
the judicial temperament" OF
Senator Black, if any, in order to
demonStrats the mdubitable fact
that Hugo has taken violent issue
with the judicial attitudes of some
OF the sitting justices in the past,
or to arouse the horrid thought
that he may introduce some of
the rough-and-tumble practices Of
the Senate floor to the Supreme
Courts sacred cloisters.
One does not suggest that the
distinguished whiSkerS of Chief
Justice Hughes are in the slightest
danger of being pulled by the ag-
greSSive senator from Alabama.
Figuratively. mayhap, but never
literally.
The gentleman who will soon
be Justice Black has publicly
charged that a bare court ma
iority for years has been asSum-
ing the right on their part to de-
termine the reaSonableneSS of
state and federal law. The Con-
stitution never gave that major
ity any such power" Since the
senator was never mealy-mouthed,
the chances are that he will at
tempt to bawl out his conserva-
tive brethren of the court, both
in conference and in his opinions,
more bitterly than they have been
slammed in years. Black, his
friends and enemies figure, simply
has to let off steam.
The conferences at which the
justices air their views to each
other in complete secrecy may
never be the same again.

More than half hundred ma

is something more to this Paris
exposition than mere size, and
that is its dedication to the future.
In addition to its portrayal of past
human progress, it seeks TO depict
The world of tomorrow.
Accordingly each country rep
resented tells how it seeks to "Set
the future free'-free from dis
ease, from useless toll, from ex-
ploitation of the human being;
from uglinesS. Here is portrayed
the ultimate in human dreams.

HIS SUPPORTERS ALSO

In his address at Roanoke Island N. c., on We'd
nesday, President Roosevelt engaged in most Sc
we're criticism of those who fought him on the SUI
preme court packing measure. The president show
ed the keenest dispeasure his defeat and men,
toned number of those classed in the economic
rOyalist' families '' It'd.
Probably neither friend nor foe should criticize
the chief executive in his TRADE against his poti-
cal enemies those who have fought him most Bit
terly in the past four years. But the president
included, of necessity some of his most loyal party
followers and most ardent New Dealers when he
took a crack at all those who fought him on the
supreme court issue.
Who defeated the court packing measure?
Not the Liberty League, nor the National Cham
Der of Commerce. nor those few newspaper eXecu-
tives suggested by the president in his speech
No. the supreme court measure was defeated by
the most prominent Democrats in congress and by
men who have been most ardent in support of some
of the presidents pet measures.
1t is most unfortunate that President Roosevelt
felt il duty to chastise men who have been most
sympathetic with him on most issues but who had
conscientious convictions and had to oppose him
on the court issue-Rock Hill Is. c. Herald.

WHAT ABOUT MEDDLING WITH THE
F. B. of l.?
(By BRUCE CATION

Recommendation by the Senate'S Crime
Committee that investigating agencies Oh
the federal government be consolidated III
a single bureau will bear careful study and
consideration before being acted upon.
The committee declared it had found a
general conviction that there has been a
breakdown in our Acknowledgement agen-
cies and courts. .
The Senate committees discoveries, sure
", cannot have been based on compari-
son of law enforcement in 1887, say, with
law enforcement in the late 192Os and
early 1905 Does the Senate committee
forget the prevailing bank robberies anu
kidnapings of those years? ......
By all comparisons j. Edgar HOOverS
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents
rank as one of the most effective of law
enforcement bodies in the world. When
Congress gave Hoover's men the right to
carry firearms and make arrests, encOm-
passing certain prevalent crimes under
federal statutes, it started the G-Men Oft
on crime corrective campaign which
more than justified the drastic Congress
sional action.
The Dillingers, the FlOyds, the Kellys
and the Nelson's passed out of the picture
along. with mass killings, quarter-million
dollar ranSOmS and wholesale bank rob
berry
There is no reasonable doubt but that
the credit can be given to the F. B. of l.
and its young, trained and well-equipped
personnel.
Politics has never played part in Hoo
ver's organization. Political connections,
when they are sometimes brought to bear,
usually turn out to be handicaps rather
than aids. The agents are chosen from lit
orally thousands of applicants. Each agent
must either be a graduate lawyer or ac-
countant Tor have other qualifying attri-
butes) for it is in these fields most of the
F. B. of /. work lies.
There is no seniority system and men
are promoted or denoted purely on merit.
The G-Men are unique in this country,
both in reputation and activity. And when
the Senate proposes consolidation of this
group with other government law enforce
ment agencies, namely the Post Office De-
partment, the Narcotic Bureau, Treasury
agents, the Customs Bureau and the Coast
Guard, it would be we'll to look closely
into the manner of consolidation.
If the high standards of the F. B. of /.
are to be maintained and all other agen-
cies brought to that level, it would be fine.
If theproposal is leyeling off in the other
direction, or an attempt at political maneu-
vering of the G-Men, that's something else
again.

Process Remains Dark
BY what process of reasoning, if
any, the commission decided upon
three and not two or four knock
downs is something I can't say.
Nor could the commissioners,
I venture, if you sneaked up
behind them and popped the
question out of a clear sky.
The commissions new rule pre-
supposes that all knockdown
punches are of the same force and
that all fighters knocked down
are in the same physical condi-
tion. 1t also indorses the theory
that all knockdowns are the real
Mccoy.
OF course, the only real remedy
for ring fatalities is Stricter medi-
cal examinations for fighters, ref
erees who know their business
and managers who aren't avari
cious.
There was an amazing ending
to the bout between Fred Henne-
berry and Ron Richards in Sydney
recently for the Australian mid.
dleweight championship. In the
tenth round, with the fight we'll
in hand, Henneberry suddenly
toppled over without having been
hit hard punch and was counted
out. The physicians who examined
him said Henneberry hadn't been
knocked out but had merely
tainted. This recalls the unfortu-
nate experience Red Affinito,
New York boxer, had in his bout
with Henneberry over a year ago.
Red collapsed during one of the
late rounds and was unconscious
for weeks. Australian boxing fans

in which the accident occurred

Met With Success
George Harvey, who is promot.
ing six-day bike races in opposi,
tion to the bike trust, has met
with considerable success in the
Middle West. His Cleveland race
drew $32, ,450.80 gross and his Mil.
waukee whirl, $26,743.95. Now he
is to promote races in a number
of other cities. He will run one in
Indianapolis March 26, in Pitts
burgh April 9, in Philadelphia
April 26. in Montreal the first
week in May, and in Toronto two
weeks later. He also has tentative
plans to promote races in st. Louis,
Detroit and Boston. Strangest of
all his promotions, though, will be
a six-day race in Marquette, Mich,
which has a population of only
$4,000 but which guarantees Har-
vey against loss. If this pans out
all right, Promoter Harvey will
look over the field in East Lynn!
With so many heavyweights
around who have done something
constructive for boxing, or who at
least haven't done anything to
hurt it, one wonders why Madison
Square Garden should single out
Max Baer for a bout with Bob
Pastor. Baer's career, like Billy
Watson's Beef Trust chorus girls
charm, is all behind him. He has
been out of the ring for months
and his last bouts were nothing
more than series of hippodromes.
AS legitimate opponents for Bob
Pastor, I would suggest Gunnar
Barlund, Eddie Blunt. Izzy Singer,
Abey Feldman, Arturo Godoy and
Paavo Nurmi.
Warning Signs
Among the other warning signs
that Dean Detton is soon to be
supplanted as the heavyweight
wrestling champion are his two
draw exhibitions on the Coast re.
Gently with Vincent Lopez, the
meddlesome Mexican. The formula
never varies. Whom the wrestling
gods destroy, they first make
wrestIe Mexican standoffs. But
imagine the supreme humiliation
of having to wrestle to a Mexican
standoff with Mexican! Car
ramba
Joe Louis, having fought Bob
Pastor, lad who is managed by
the promoter who staged the
fight, now has a chance to better
his own record by fighting pro-
moter under the promoters own
promotion. Wembley Stadium in
dear old London, through its Amer
ican agent. Charley Harvey, has
