HIGHEST COURT
MEETS TODAY

Recovering after a two weeks
recess, the Supreme Court will
meet at noon today and possibly
hand down decisions on important
New Deal" cases.
Of first Importance as having a
resulting influence on New Deal
legislation, according to observers,
is the West Coast hotel case, which
attacks the Washington State mini
mum wage law, enacted Is years
ago.
Although the litigation involves
only few dollars which a hotel
chambermaid asserted should be
paid her under the State basic
wage law. the backbone Of the Ad-
miniStration's entire minimum
wage program is at stake, it was
pointed out.
Counsel for the hotel company,
for whom the maid was employed,
contended in arguments before the
high tribunal that the law is un-
constitutional as seizure Of prop
erty without due process of law.
A similar law, passed by the Ore
gon legislature about the same
time. was upheld by the Supreme
Court in 1917 in a 4-to-4 ruling,
Justice BrandeiS not participating.

ally, were cited by the victim 5
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin D.
Cummins. as more than sufficient
reasons to discount any suicide
theory.
Developments tending to
strengthen belief that the boy. who
disappeared last July is, was the
victim of foul play are:
Evidence of Staying
A statement from Mrs. Cum.
Minis that a mysterious yellow
car had been haunting the
neighborhood several days
prior to the boys disappear
ance.
A tement from the
younger brother, Robert, who
discovered the skeleton, that
the particular spot where the
body was found was not used
by the boys of the neighbor-
hood for play because the
ground was always too wet.
Reiteration of MI. Cummins'
statement that he personally
had searched the clump Of
trees where his sons body was
found several times after the
disappearance and there had
been no body there.
The condition of the victims
clothing, which indicates the
body was not attacked by
birds or animals, as it would
have been if it had been there
so long. Intimation by an Alex
andria official that the skele-
ton showed signs Of cuts.
Rope From Trolley
The 52-inch piece of rope which
was found at the scene, part OF
which was knotted to the tree
and the other part found near the
skeleton, is believed to be piece
Of street car trolley rope which
was brought home by Mr.. Cum
Minis, who il a Capital Transit
Company foreman. 1t was first
believed to be a piece of window
sash cord.
One of the strangest features
Of the case was a necktie tied
around the trunk of the tree. This
tie, one of the pieces of clothing
BY which the body was identified,
was part of the boys Metropolitan
Police Boys Band uniform. One
theory is that it was put there to
arrest the attention of anyone
passing by, so the body would be
found.

tiles.
The youngster is charged with
having fatally injured 11-year-old
Lorraine Rzeppa when he slapped
her with q cardboard tube in q
schoolyard squabble. Donald said
he was reused to strike the girl
by her teasing cry Of "Freckle
PusS."
It was originally planned to send
Donald to a reform school if guilty.
But his lawyer found a nearly for
gotten law, which forbids a de-
PENDANT under IA from pleading
his innocence or guilt in court.
The boy is under indictment, and
the States attorney is legally re-
quired to press the charges.
To skirt their puzzling position,
prosecutors handed the boy over
to psychiatriStS, to discover wheth-
er he was mature enough to stand
trial or if he was mentally unfit.
Eventual decision rests with the
court.
