What Can Congress Do if Roosevelt Abolishes
Functions Under the Reorganization Bill?

can order all the employees to ignore
him. They can order the janitor to
pick DR.. Morgan up from his chair
and deposit him in the street They
can put a new lock on Dr.. Morgan's
Office door. The President can use
the entire power of all the United
States marshals and all the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps to keep DR..
Morgan from entering his office.
About the only way DR.. Morgan can
get before the Supreme Court is in a
suit for his salary. DR.. Morgan will
get no salary check-presumably Pres
ident Roosevelt or some one under him
will tell the Secretary of the Treasury,
or whoever has charge of the Govern
ment pay roll, that DR.. Morgan is off
the roll. DR.. Morgan then can sue
for his pay, on the ground that his
removal was illegal. That is what the
member of the Federal Trade Com
mission, Humphrey, did when Presi-
dent Roosevelt illegally removed him.
BY the time the court got around to
deciding that Mr.. Humphrey was right
and Mr.. Roosevelt wrong, Humphrey
was dead, and the only consolation
of his heirs was the $4,000 or $4,000
Of accrued pay which the Supreme
Court awarded them.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt had got
rid of Humphrey: meanwhile, Mr..
Roosevelt had appointed a man OF
the kind he wanted, a man, as Mr..
Roosevelt said, whose mind and my
mind go along together" Meanwhile,
Mr.. Roosevelt had accomplished what
ever it was he wished to accomplish
by removing Humphrey. And so in
the present case, Mr.. Roosevelt will
have accomplished whatever he hoped
to accomplish by removing DR.. Nor
gan.
Significance Is Broader.
The "fait accompli" aspect Of Mr.
Roosevelt's present action is the thing
to watch and dwell upon. It's sig
nif1cance is broader than the Morgan
case.
There is just now pending in the
Senate a measure giving Mr.. Roosevelt
sweeping powers to reorganize the
Government. Apparently, at this
writing, the Senate is going to pass
the measure. Many Senators justify
their supporting the measure by saying
that they have carefully restricted the
power they are giving to the President.
Among other restrictions, they have
provided, or think they have, that
Mr.. Roosevelt must not abolish any
functions.
But once this reorganization measure
is passed, who is going to stop Mr..
Roosevelt from doing about what he
pleases? If he abolishes any func-
tion. as he has abolished the tenure
Of DR.. Morgan in T. V. A.. what. at
that time, can Congress do? They
think they can pass an act undoing
whatever Mr. Roosevelt has done.
But II Congress does that, the Pres
ident can veto. After the veto, Con-
gress can only assert itself by two
thirds vote. The President and one
third of Congress can make any "fait
accompli' stick

 With Powell cast as penniless but devil-may-care artist who lives in a trailer, and Miss Loy as the owner of a fashionable New York gown shop, the laugh-padded new story describes the efforts of the heroine to prevent her younger sis ter from marrying Powell instead of the man she herself has picked out for her.

seven and half billions on a i've year arms program that is without parallel.
 Many Sinister Paragraphs
 Just as Lord Haldane went to Germany in 1912 to talk about limiting navies, so Lord Halifax went recently to Germany to dis cuss colonies.
 Just as, in the years preceding 1914, statesmen scurried about from country to country, and kaisers, emperors and kings met with great pomp and ceremony, forming alli- ances and seeking to checkmate others, so, in 1887, with more grandiose ceremonies than any with which king ever met kaiser, Musso- lini was received in a state visit to Hitler. So Goering of Germany, Ciano of Italy, Delbos of France, and Stoyadinovitch of Yugoslavia have been circling about the map.
 In the Balkan wars of 1912, France and Germany saw their new war weapons tried out in actual combat. So today, Germany, Italy, France, and Russia watch their tanks, machine guns, airplanes and other arms tested in Spain and China.
 Feverish Banding Together
 Even more than ill the feverish pre-1914 years, the lesser nations are trying frantically to arm and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-03

band together to keep the war fire from their frontiers. Poland, armed to the teeth, tries to keep amicable with both menacing Germany and Russia on either hand, while Lithu- ania, Latvia, and Esthonia, three weak little Baltic, states, band to- gether in an alliance, seeing their territory as logical route between Germany and Russia.
 In the Balkans, a Little Entente of Czechoslovakia, Rumania, and Jugoslavia is tied together and at tached to France in a shaky alli- ance. Germany and Italy are bus fly at work in an effort to break it up and attach fragments of it to their German-Ltalian-Jajanese sys- tenn.
 Even the peaceful and demo- cratic countries of Norway, Swe- den and Denmark, alarmed at the chance of conflict in the North Sea between Britain and Germany, or Germany and Russia, are arm- ing. Belgium and Holland have lost faith in alliances and treaties for defense, and are falling back on new armament and defenses.
 In all the larger countries, with a great part of the budget going into the arms race, there are high CT taxes, and feverish stimulation of prosperity as the munitions forges glow with ominous fury.

 Miss Hopkins again proves her re- markable versatility in g. brilliant comedy drama portrayal reminiscent of her former hit Woman Glasses Man." while Ray Midland, famed for his stalwart characterizations, of fers one of his finest performances in this novel and tangled romance of Greenwich Village and Park avenue.
 A unique type of romance between 8 determined young heireSs and a poor artist whom, with the best in- tentions in the world, she tries to double-cross, serves as the basis of this fast-moving story.
 When the girls wealthy father fails in his efforts to secure custody of his orphaned granddaughters who live with the young artist, the girl decides to accomplish the feat by trying to deprive the unsuspect- ing hero of his slender means of livelihood at various odd jobs. How ever, she falls in love with him, which complicates matters consid- erably and leads to the exciting, lively conclusion.
 Miriam Hopkins is cast as the im- petuous daughter of wealth, while Midland portrays the struggling artist. Walter Abel, Henry Stephen son, Alec Craig, Quinn Williams, Betty Philson and Mirianna strelby are seen in important supporting roles and acquit themselves admir- ably.

State MA Students
 Given$8, Monthly
Over 1900 Boys, Girls Receiving Financial Assistance
 From Government-Dual Purpose Accomplished

In more than hundred Connec- ticut high schools and trade schools, 1900 boys and girls are earning up to $8,000 a month of National Youth Administration money, according to report released today by Thomas J. Dodd, state director of the fed- eral agency.
 No Displacements
 These pupils work is laid out and supervised by the principals of their schools, who also determine what boys and girls shall be given jobs. The IVA director exercises general control over the funds and lays down certain requirements, such as a maximum payment of six dollars per month per student, and a Stip- ulation that students must not dis place adult workers who might be employed either part or full time. Except for such guiding regulations the administration of the program is entirely in the hands of local school authorities.
 The latter have reported more than 100 types of work being done. These may be broken down into clerical assistance in school offices, more ore less skilled assistance to teachers and coaches, help furnished to community organizations outside the schools, intra-mural policing, and maintenance of building and equipment.
 Needy Assisted
 In addition to these reports, the IVA has on file at the state office duplicate of the application for IVA work made out by each pupil who receives a job. This file is used to review the basis for selection of students and to keep it reasonably unifrm in the various towns. AL though the selection is in the hands of principals, the IVA office has laid down certain general require ments for eligibility to receive IVA employment. A pupil in a high school or trade school must be be- tween 16 and "A years of age, must be taking at least 3-4 of full nor- nal schedule, must be doing scho- lastic work of satisfactory grade, and must be financially in need Of assistance.
 Among the teachers and school executives of the state, during the 2k years this program has been in effect, many have expressed confi- dence in the value of the work to their pupils, and have assured tEe MA officials that the pupils now working on IVA jobs would have had to discontinue their education without this opportunity.
 Commenting upon the fact that the high school aid program is now well embarked on it's third year, MT Dodd summed up the advantages observed and reported by the teach
