SUPREME COURT BR0ADENS FIELD OF FEDERAL POWER;
 REGENT DECISION E CITED
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec 20. - It is getting so a man can hardly blow away the smoke from a cigarette without finding himself engaged in tor affecting) interstate commerce.
 So broad is the scope of the Su- preme Court decision in the case of Consolidated Edison Company of New York against the National La- bor Relations Board that whole new scanning of the horizon of Federal regulation seems likely.
 Consolidated Edison is a tremen- dous power company in point of the number of kilowatts of energy it shoots along its network of wires and cables. Nevertheless, it oper- ates in New York State almost (but not quite) to the exclusion of all other territory.
 It sells power to city docks, to railroads and to enterprises which operate the tunnels operating under the Hudson, connecting New Jersey with New York. At no point does it transmit power under it's own con- trol outside of New York State. It sells a very small portion to com- panies which in turn use it in inter- state commerce.

Government Brings Action Against American
 Medical Assn.
FISHBEIN, DR. WEST
 NAMED IN CHARGES
Claims Made that Societies Violated Sherman
 Anti- Trust Act

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - The American Medical Association, three local medical societies and 21 indl- vidual physicians Have been indict- ed by the Federal grand jury for violation of the Sherman antitrust act.
 The societies are the Medical So- ciety of the District of Columbia, the Harris County, Texas, Medical Society and the Washington, D. C., Academy of Surgey.
 Among the physicians indicted are Dr. Olin West, Secretary of the Am erican Medical Association, and pr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Medi- cal Associations Journal.
 The Department of Justice insti- tuted proceedings against the Asso- citation last October charging it was acting in restraint of trade, specifi- cally charging the Association, some local medical societies and individu- al physicians were preventing other physicians from forming cooperative medical organizations for supplying medical service and were refusing membership in medical societies to individual physicians who joined such cooperative groups.

LdGuardia Says Aifacker Had Been Rounding
 Me for Four Year"

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-Mayor La- Guardia was slugged today as he mounted the City Hall steps by a heavy set gray-haired man tenta- lively identified as James Hagan.
 The assailant, who leaped on the Mayor from behind, struck him down with blow of his fist. The man was set upon by bystanders and police and beaten insensible.
 "He has been bounding me for four years" LaGuardia said.
 The Mayor did not anplify but the remark led City Hall employees to suppose Hagan was a disappoint- ed office seeker.
 The attack occurred in the pres- ence of hundreds of persons gath- cred near the City Hall plaza to watch demolition of the old Fed- eral Building there.
 The Mayors assailant was later definitely identified as James Hagan, 48. former WPA superintendent at the Pelham Bay shops for the City Park Department.
 Investigators obtained no coherent story but said they believed Hagan held grudge because he had been laid off.

 IN NORTH CHINA
Japan Indicates Long Cam paign Be Necessary to
 Paeify Vast Region

SHANGHAI, Dec. 20. - Japanese army officers have outlined plans for five-year campaign designed to pacify North China and to es- tablish a strong Chinese govern ment friendly to Japan. It was said that troops were being moved north ward from the Yangtze Valley to help in this campaign. Spokesmen said the swiftness of the invasion of North China necessarily left many unconquered pockets in which guer- illas are now operating.
 At present, according to neutral estimates, the Japanese actually control only 13 Hopeh provinces out of 130 in the district, 31 in Shansi Province out of 105, 30 of Shan tung's 100 and 95 in North Honan. The remainder of the 100000 square miles north of the Yellow River to the Lunghai railway is held by Chi nese irregulars and guerillas.

Navy Bombers Also Flying Cyane Landing Party
 to Aid Survivors

With the sixteen remaining sur vivors of the wrecked motorshlp Patterson walking from their beach camp at the scene of the wreck eight miles north of Cape Far weather towards Lituya Bay to- day. the cutter Haida reported this morning a landing party had been put ashore safely in Lituya Bay to aid the march that may bring the unfortunate men home for Christ mas.
 Radio messages from the Haida last night said the Juneau guide Nels Ludwigson, who was landed with Shell Simmons yesterday at the wreck when that pilot negotiat- ed dangerous landing in Sea Otter Creek. estuary, yesterday afternoon started walking the Patterson sur vivors towards Lituya Bay, 30 miles east of the wreck.
 Ludwigson, according to barely discernibie flashlight messages to Iilt CuGUCI HUH oilOlCs DbciA SSt <OVtA the beach shortly after Simmons left for Juneau The Juneau guide took with him six of the weaker men. and it was understood the stronger men would catch the lead party at a camp four miles towards Lituya this morning, from where they would all continue to camp twelve miles toward Lituya from the wreck
 Lieut.. Comdr. N. G. Ricketts on the Haida, said communications would be established with the walk ing party tonight if their camp fires can be located, and their condition learned
 In addition to the Haida land- ing party of three enlisted men. One ensign, one medical officer and the three Juneau guides, Vic Manville, Anthony Thomas and Howard Hayes, it was learned also that a landing party of one officer and four enlisted men were to be flown today from the cutter Cyane at Port AL thorp to Lituya to aid in getting the survivors out.
 The Haida landing party went into the dangerous and small ent- rance of Lituya Bay with dory loaded with supplies and a motor surf boat, catching the tide at flood slack, the few minutes during the day that entrance is possible through the heavy current and rip tide there that has claimed so many lives in the past.
 It was considered possible today that should the Patterson crew be standing the gaff" on the march fairly well, they may reach Lituya Bay or the cabin at 'Twelvemile," ;" al the end of the wagon road that reaches West from Lituya Bay some time late this afternoon or tonight.

EMPHASIS ON AFFECTING

Now the National Labor Relations Act provides, roughly. that Federal regulations of labor bargaining shall apply to companies engaged in in terState commerce, or whose bus1- ness affects" interstate commerce. Under this act, the Labor Board claimed authority over the relation ship between Consolidated Edison and it's 10000 employees. It is agreed that none of the Edison employees engages in interstate commerce. But the Labor Board contended that sale by the firm of small portion of it's power to companies which use 1t in interstate commerce brought Edison under Federal jurisdiction. The board held that in event of labor trouble a power shutdown would affect" interstate commerce.
 The Supreme Court agreed.
 Tn the nearest recent approach to this decision the court upheld the Labor Board in it's contention that a California fruit company which shipped 35 percent of its fruit in interstate commerce was directly subject to the labor act Now it reaches out to extend the act to a company which of itself does not engage in interstate com merce, but simply sells it's product to those who do.
 In explaining it's case, the court pointed out that a labor strike would leave the docks without lights, thus affecting" not only

Through friends new finan- cial start was afforded and at his farm home near Kentland he gath cred new herds and was moderately successful in rebuilding his for tune.
 Financial Disaster
 Rated as a millionaire, when he became governor of Indiana in 1921, McCray suffered financial disaster in the collapse of farm values in 1923. Efforts to recoup his losses led to his indictment on charges that he misrepresented his hold ings in letters to banks regarding loans
 McCray denied intent to defraud but was convicted of using the mails for that purpose. He was sen tenced to ten years imprisonment entering the Atlanta prison May 1924.
 He was paroled three years later and for brief period the glare ot publicity again fell on him. He was a prosecution witness in the trial of Ed Jackson, then governor oi Indiana, charged with attempted bribery. Jackson was acquitted by a directed verdict because of the statute of limitations.
 McCray testified that Jackson when secretary of state, had offered him $1O00O if he would appoint z certain man as prosecutor of Mar. ion county, but he had rejected tht offer as 'unthinkable."
