ACCIDENT BODY
CASE IS UPHELD
State Supreme Court in 2 to /
Decision Sustains Gov
ernOr McMullen
REVERSES A DECISION

The right of the Governor to re-
move members of the Industrial
Accident Board with or without
cause" was sustained by a 2-to-1
opinion of the State Supreme
Court Tuesday. reversing a 2-to-1
decision of the New Castle County
Superior Court earlier this year.
Under the courts decision, the
three appointees of Gov. Richard
G. McMullen constitute the board
instead of the three Republican
members who the Governor had
sought to replace. The majority
opinion, written by Chancellor Jo-
siah D. Wolcott, was concurred in
by Judge w. w. Harrington, Judge
Charles S. Richards dissented but
filed no opinion. In the lower
court, the majority opinion was
given by Chief Justice Daniel j.
Layton and Judge Frank L. Speak
man, with Judge Richard S. Rod
ney dissenting. The Supreme Court
deferred action until to-day on an
application of James R. Morford, of
counsel for the Republican board,
for a 30-day stay Of execution. The
law creating the accident board
provided that the Governor could
remove members with or without
cause, a provision which the in
cumbent Republican members,
through their counsel argued was
contrary to the constitution. I'VE
are aware that in the judgment of
many persons it is highly unwise
for the Legislature to create offices
with an indefniteness of tenure, =
the Supreme Court held. But it
is the province of the Legislature
and not of the courts to pass upon
matters of policy. The legislative
hand is free except as the Consti-
tuition restraints; and courts are
bound by a most solemn sense of
responsibility to sustain the legis-
lative will in the appropriate field
Of its exercise, even though in the
opinion Of the judges as individuals
the Legislature had acted in an un-
wise manner" The court declined
to consider the question of consti-
tutionality on the principle that
courts take this attitude unless a
decision can be reached on no other
ground The three Democrats ap-
pointed to the board were Clarence
E. Grace, Wilmington; Norman
Collision of Bridgeville, and former
State Senator Harry Latchum, Jr.,
of Milford. However, since these
appointments, Mr.. Latchum became
u. S. Collector of Internal Revenue.
Because of this appointment, his
position nthe accident board is
vacant. Governor McMullen said
he was not prepared to make any
statement regarding the appoint
ment, but it is understood he will
receive recommendations from the
Kent County Democratic Commit
tee. The ousted Republicans are:
Robert K. Jones, Harrington; Capt.
Harry V. Lyons, Lewes, and former
Secretary of State Charles H
Grantland.

that he is certain to be elected.
Senator Robert Wagner, ardent
New Dealer, wants to be reelected.
He has rejected, so far. the sugges-
ton that he trade places with Gov
Lehman and run for Governor,
mainly becaust of his belief that no
other out-and-out New Dealer could
get himself elected to the Senate
from New York this year.
Alfred E. Smith In Race
The New York situation is com.
plicated by the revival of interest
in Former Governor Alfred E.
Smith. who has returned to the po-
litical limelight as an outstanding
member of the states constitutional
convention. There Is talk of put
ting Mr.. Smith forward as coali-
ton Observation-Disclosures candi-
date for Senator on an uncompro
missing anti-New Deal platform.
On the Republican side much
hope is being pinned on Pennsyl-
vania, where observers see indica-
tions of strong conservative swing
which may elect Arthur James, Re
publican, as Governor, and re-elect
Senator James J. Davis. In the ma
ton at large, the Republicans are
counting now upon a minimum of
30 additional Congressman, which
would give them respectable min
ority representation OF ITO, only so
fewer than a majority. And unless
New Deal candidates for Congress
sweep the field in the concededly
Democratic districts, the Repub-
licans, in the event of holding ITO
seat in the House, could form an
effective coalition with conservative
Democrats to block the Administra-
tion program.
