UPHELD BY COURT

Justice McReynolds dissented, made
this observation:
1.-THE record here disclosed the
confusion and disorder that can re
suit from the delays necessarily in.
cident to judicial supervision of ad.
ministrative procedure developed tc
meet present day needs of govern.
ment and capable of operating eff.
Iciently and fairly to both private
and public interests"
Some administration senators said
these words of Blacks could be APP
piled against the pending Logan,
Walter bill, which would facilitate
court reviews of rulings by admin
istrative agencies. Senator Wagner
(D-NY) said that the Justices argu-
ment against court interference in
ordinary executive duties was broad
enough to apply to the Logan-Wal-
ter legislation.
Today's decision confirmed the
governments power to set labor
standards in a large field of bust
ness. From September, 1885, to
April, 1910, the government has
awarded 21, 603 contracts under the
Walsh-Healy act. These contracts
were valued at $3.50, o41 ,S66.
In the steel case decided today,
the minimum wage prescribed ~
Secretary Perkins was 60 IL cents
an hour. In addition, the Walsh
Healy act calls for a 40-hour limit
on the work week.

right for the role. The actress bore
up gamely under her chagrin and
embarrassment and issued a gra-
cious statement agreeing with the
verdict and announcing that 8 h e
was Withdrawing from the cast.
No such public reaction is expect
ed this time, True, the Ethel Vance
novel is a best-seller, and the femi-
nine lead has been the most covet-
ed and schemed-for role in Holly
wood eve since the picture rights
were purchased. But the story has
not enjoyed the phenomenal interest
that followed the GWTW ballyhco,
and movie patrons are not bothering
to send stacks Of kilograms, either
in approval or protest.
Fear Role May Be
Cut To Pattern
The countess in Escape" is an
! older and more restrained charac-
ter than Scarlet. and undoubtedly
Miss Shearer is capable Of turning
in IN adequate performance. But the
movie colony is resentful because of
the reports it hears about how the
fine role will be tailored to her re.
quirements.
Examples: Miss Shearer, who re-
fused to be Susan in Susan and
Cod because she didn't want to ap.
pear old enough to be the mother of
a 1~S-year-old girl, will be a consid-
erably younger countess than t h e
one in the book. Size will not dress
in the slightly shabby ~leftovers of
a var-improverished noblewoman.
She will be a more sympathetic
character than she should be. Her
role will be enlarged beyond the pro
portions of the original story and to
the detriment of other parts in the
picture.
There's no telling how much Holly
woods feeling about Norma Shearer
is due to jealousy over special
and how much is honestly concern
ed with dramatic integrity. She was
unpopular during filming of THE
Women because she was favored b.
all the tricks of moviedom-such Sc
lighting, number of closeups and
camera angles-over the other act
resses.
Doesn't Hold Much
Metro Stock
'Underplaying" is a device that
has made many an actor famous.
and Hollywood often has wondered
why Miss Shearer doesn't try under
playing her role as a great movie
star. Any gesture of modesty, or any
self-sacrificial act toward better
dramatic teamwork, would win her
a lot of appreciation. But this way,
she's heading for h~eartbreak.
1t has been limited that NJ i 9 S
Shearer yields authority and gets
choice roles because she owns a lot
of Metro stock. Actually she doesn't
own much of it. Her advantageous
position at M-G-M is based mostly
on her being a long-established star
with a contract which now pays her
5000 a week.
The large estate of her late hus-
band, Irving Thalberg, gives her
an income of about ST 900 a year.
The bulk of it is tied up in trust for
the two children. Most of her money

high command said saw II ships OF
one convoy destroyed.
Comdr. Prien, who has received
the highest German decorations for
sinking the British battleship Royal
Oak at Scapa Flow, now is credited
by German officialdom with a total
shipping bag of 2O2 900 tons.
He stands "at the peak" of all

Torpedo planes were credited with
sending three strongly protected

to the bottom off the east coast OF
England during the night.
Light German battleplane units
were reported to have carried out
"retaliatory" flights on London and
other parts of Britain during the
night.
Fires visible from afar resulted
from raids on big tank concentra-
tions at Thameshaven," the commu-
nique said, while armament plants
in Central England and port facili-
ties on the British west coast also
were effectively bombed
Dover HarbOr Ships SheIled.
Heavy artillery of the German
Army and Navy was said to have
shelled two merchantmen in Dover
Harbor, causing severe destruction
to the ships and port facilities.
I'm response" the high command
continued, "one enemy long-range
battery fired a few shots at the
French channel coast without dam
age"
The communique said the single
military objective hit in the British
raid on Berlin was q railway line
between Western Germany, where
traffic was said to have continued
uninterrupted.
Nazi sources contended the "ter-
ror" aspect of the raids on Berlin
was proved by an assertion that
only residential sections were struck
There was no evidence of bomber
activity over the center of the city,
although ground guns were active
there
Heavy "A Fire Heard.
Heavy nti-aircraft fire was heard
in some sections of Berlin, especially
in the southern part, and NaZis re-

Another German plane was seen
over a London suburb flying very
low, losing height and with smoke
pouring from it. British planes were
in pursuit.
Members of the home guard asked
villagers to keep lookout for the
crew of the plane reported downed
near Ipswich. They were believed to
have parachuted safely to earth and
to be still at large.
Liverpool Plane Routed.
Fighter planes and anti-aircraft
fire chased away the first Nazi plane
which struck at Liverpool during
the morning, British reported.
Other planes were seen in the
northeast and near Midlands towns.
Britain counted her bombing
casualties as less than usual today
despite night-long attacks by Nazi
planes which came in an. almost
steady stream and dropped Some of
their heaviest bombs
London and the Midlands were
the No. and 2 targets of the dusk
to-dawn attack although raiders
also struck at the Liverpool area,
Wales and southwestern England.
The air ministry said the num-
ber of casualties reports from all
these areas is not large" and ab-
servers in the British capital said
the 44th consecutive overnight at
tack there seemed comparatively
light"
The German bombers began their
attack early last night, quickly fol-
lowing up daylight raids during
which five alarms were sounded in
London, driving church crowds and
autumn strollers from the streets
There was a short lull after mid
night, but the bombers came back
again until shortly before dawn.
There was no pattern to the night
raids. Some planes loosed bombs
from high over London. Others
dived through the low clouds toward
their targets. They came at the
city from all QlrectlOnS ana StruCK

Jail Breaker Is Trapped
Trying 10 Stop Wedding

The police today were holding one
grade A unlimited guest who was
trapped here as he headed for the
wedding of a girl he courted a year
ago under very false pretenses.
The story began when the young
lady was wooed, some months ago,
by a man who said he was an ad-
vertising executive. He drove high
powered automobiles, which he
seemed to trade in every time they
got dusty, and charged gasoline
around town with a careless snap
of his fingers.
They became engaged and short
time later the man disappeared.
The girl put him out of her mind
and became engaged to another
man. Their wedding was set for
Wednesday.
The disappearance of the original
suitor, meantime, had been ex-
planned. He was jailed in Gettys-
burg, Pa. The cars which he had
driven were stolen and the gas which
he charged was never paid for. The
engagement was a phony. since he
had a wife and child. Instead Of
an advertising executive, he turned
out to be soldier who had been
under treatment at Walter Reed
Hospital.
Friday he broke Jail and headed
for Washington in what police were
told was an effort to break up the
wedding. Police set trap for him
and when he got in touch with the
bride-to-be they arrested him.

Seymour Weiss, one time power In

associates today lost their Supreme
Court fight to escape the peniten-
tiary when the court refused to re-
view their conviction for mail fraud
which climaxed the Government
drive to clean up Louisiana early
this year.
Justice Murphy, who was Attorney
General when the prosecution was
instituted, did not participate in the
decision.
Found guilty of selling to Louisi-
ana State University for $75 900 the
already purchased by the University,
Weiss was sentenced to 80 months in
prison and fined $4,000. His CO.
defendants who also appealed to
the Supreme Court after the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals and
affirmed the convictions were ].
Emory Adams and Louis Lesage.
who were sentenced to a year and
day and fined 81 900.
Two Others Involved.
Five men originally were involved
In the case but DR.. James Monroe
Smith, former president of L. S. u.
who was sent to State prison for
forgery and embezzlement of uni
versity funds, abandoned his appeal
in the Federal case while another,
Monte Hart, prominent New Orleans
contractor, committed suicide.
The fraud count was based on the
fact that a check for $4,000 drawn
on the university was dispatched by
mail in the ordinary process of be-
ing cleared between the New Or
leans bank where it was caShed
and the Baton Rouge bank where
the university account was main
tanned.
The court also rejected a petition
for review by two members of Je-
hovah's Witnesses who challenged
a South Carolina law under which
they were arrested for breach Of
peace and fined for spreading their
doctrine by sound truck and distri-
button Of literature.
Newspaper Case Up.
The court called also for argu-
ments today on the right of news
paper to comment editorially on
court cases prior to a final settle
ment.
At issue was the conviction of the
Los Angeles Times on a charge of
contempt of court growing out of the
publication of editorials concerning
two labor cases and a woman poll
| tician.
The Times. in a brief presented
to the court. asserted that if its con-
viction were upheld no public COM
ment may be made on problems Of
social, economic or moral conse-
quence involved in court proceed
ings," even though judgment had
been rendered by a Judge.
