ously to how the Federal col

once asked her to play a war
song on the piano for him, where
upon she gave him Dixie" and
when he asked why she had not
played Yankee-Doodle, she said
her piano had never learned the
tune. She was then l3. years old.
Mrs. Yerner's aunt, Mrs. Cor
nelia Spencer was given much
credit by Governor Vance for her
activity in promoting the reopen
ing and development of the uni

Phillips was creditor of the state
in the wartime administration of
Governor Vance. Her husbands
cousin, General J. Johnston Pet
tigrew commanded a part of the
troops in Pickett's charge which
went "farthest at Gettysburg"
and died of wounds received then.
General Pettigrew had been a
student under her grandfather,
James Phillips.
While her own family was en-
gagged in promoting the reorgani-

her husband was similarly active

Mrs. John S. Werner, whose

marriage to the only son of Mrs.
Beatrice Holmes AllStOu of Flat

A Good Days Work.

Law enforcement in the District and
the suppression of rackets won a dis
tinct victory in the House yesterday in
the quick passage of the numbers bill.
Credit is due to the members of the
House District Committee who pried the
bill out Of a pigeon hole and forced its
report and passage over the outspoken
opposition Of the chairman. Senator
King who twice has obtained Senate
approval of this bill, may be depended
upon to work for its final enactment
through Senate concurrence with the
House amendments, suggested by United
States Attorney Pine.
The important thing about the num-
bers bill is simply this: For several years
now police and prosecutors have asked
in vain that their hands be strengthened
through statutory recognition of the
numbers game, giving them Authority,
previously lacking, to deal with a mod
ern variation Of the old policy game.
AS long as they lacked such authority,
a convenient and perhaps perfectly legit-
innate "alibi" was available as an excuse
for failure vigorously to 60 after the
numbers operators.

New Deal Victory.

The Supreme Court decision uphold
ing contested provisions OF the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1895
marked major triumph for the Roose-
velt administration and climaxed a
series of legal victories that seemed
impossible of attainment two years ago.
The Federal Government, from the
viewpoint of those who believe in the
desirability of centralized power, is now
entrenched on strong legal ground. Pri-
marily through the adoption of broad
Interpretation Of the commerce clause
of the Constitution, the Supreme Court
has opened the door to degree of gov
ernmental regulation of business that
would have been undreamed of a gen.
GRAFTON ago. This step was taken by
the justices in the face of realities that
could not well be ignored. On one side
was the pressure of the Presidents effort
to reorganize the court and on the other
a growing belief that big business" had
reached point where the hope for ade-
quate State regulation was demonstrably
futile.
On the face of the record as it now
stands there appears no likelihood that
the New Deal will meet with an adverse
ruling from the justices in the near
future. There is no case involving New
Deal legislation still awaiting decision
during this term and most observers
agree that the Supreme Court will rule
for the Government in cases coming up
from lower tribunals
In deciding the utility holding COM
pany case, the court upheld the legality
of the registration provisions of the
act and the penalties imposed for fall
ure to register. Despite an urgent plea
from the utilities, the court refused to
pass on the constitutionality of other pro-
visions, rejecting an invitation" to enter
into "a speculative inquiry for the pur-
pose of condemning statutory provisions,
the effect of which in concrete situations,
not yet developed, cannot now be def
nitely perceived"
This. however, was victory enough for
the newly appointed Solicitor General,
Robert H. Jackson who read into the
courts language an implied warning
that "even great aggregations of financial
power must be made to operate under
the law" That statement from the New
Deals chief trust buster" if not the
signal for revival Of the momentarily
forgotten anti-monopoly campaign, may
at least be interpreted as warning to
the utilities that drastic enforcement of
the holding company act is in the of1ing.
