What is disturbing at the moment
is that Mr.. Roosevelt makes a point
OF the constitutionality issue as if that
would be one way to force Congress
to pass new laws affecting all the
independent commissions and perhaps
require that new appointments of per-
sonnel be made in the re-created COM

Mr., Roosevelt apparently accepts
the notion of an independent COM

tied to what he terms quasi judicial
and quasi-legislative functions. His
suggestion that all agencies in the
