Biggest and Fastest
Gangster Ingenuity
Refusing to admit the resemblance
between NRA and Humpty-Dumpty,
that “all the king's
horses and all the
king’s men” could
not put together
again, Washington
will gather up the
pieces of NRA and
try to reconstruct
‘‘something as
good.” The process
may remind recon*
structors of the
boy who took his
watch apart, put it
together and proud¬
ly said to ills
friends, "Not only
Arthur Brisbane have I put It to¬
gether, but I have quite a number
of pieces left over that I do not
need."
The Weyerhaeuser kidnapers, how¬
ever “hard-boiled” they may lx;, must
feel nervous when they hand out one
of the $200,000 ransom bills, knowing
that the number and series of every
bill are In the possession of govern¬
ment detectives.
It will not make spending the money
more agreeable to learn that thirty
“G-men” from the attorney general's
office will devote their entire time to
hunting for those bills and tracing the
spenders of them—$200,(XX) worth of
Damocles swords.
The giant French ship Normandie Is
here and pleasing to Americans who
like superlatives. She Is the biggest
liner ever launched, the longest, broad¬
est, heaviest, costliest. And, crossing
in 4 days 11 hours 42 minutes, she Is
the fastest She is built, not for profit,
but for glory and to advertise French
supremacy.
England will soon send her Queen
Mary after the Normandie’s record
and, doubtless, Mussolini will soon
enter the race.
Uncle Sain? Well, he Is busy with
other things, very busy, Just now.
In the fine of viciousness, modern
gangsters show Ingenuity. Police give
these details of the death of Danny
Walsh, head of a bootleg-rum syndi¬
cate who was kidnaped, ransomed for
$40,000, inter murdered. Enemies took
1dm to sea In a bont, made him sit
with his feet In a tub of wet cement,
and watch while It hardened. He was
then thrown overboard with the tub
of cement hard around Ills feet. Sev
eral times, while he watched the
cement harden, It must have occurred
to Danny Walsh that a criminal ca¬
reer Is not profitable.
To say, “Man Is half tiger and half
monkey” Is sometimes unjust to the
monkey. At High Point, N. C.. J. R.
Riggs, middle aged, operating n filling
station, was found, with tenpenny nails
driven through each hand and each
foot, fastened to a rough wooden
cross. The man, having been nailed
to the cross only for n short time, will
probably live. Riggs admitted he had
engineered the crucifixion to reguln
his wife’s affection.
Sometimes gangsters show signs of
Intelligence. Voiney Davis, nrrested
In Chicago in connection with the
Rreruer kidnaping, wns "flown” to St.
Paul, and, arriving there, confessed
complicity tn the kidnaping, saying to
the judges: "I knew I could not get
away from the ’G-men.”*
Rand ownership Is the best founda¬
tion of prosperity and security, under

wisely, to begin with land ownership.
A fund expected to exceed $5,000,000

It is desirable that the husband be

PASS II REVIEW
PRESIDENT STIRS NATION BY
PROPOSAL F.OR A CHANGE
IN ITS BASIC LAW.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
© VVeotern Newspaper Union.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT hascreat-
* ed a major issue for the campaign of
1036 and stirred up widespread debate
and controversy over a question that
the nation had thought
was settled in Its early
days. Furthermore, It
Is likely he has start¬
ed the movement for
a complete re-align¬
ment of political forces
Into what will be vir¬
tually two new parties.
Briefly, he proposes
that the Constitution
be changed to take
from the states and
Bainbridge give to the federal
Colby government power over
the chief social and economic ques¬
tions so that the New Deal may be
saved from the doom pronounced upon
It by the Supreme court.
In the course of a two hour talk
with the Washington correspondents
the President sent up a trial balloon
on the plan he had conceived for re¬
modeling the government to fit his pro¬
gram, declaring that he favored cur¬
tailing the sovereignty of the states
and giving the central government full
control over agriculture, Industry, com¬
merce and all other occupations and en¬
terprises. He said this question of
amending or re-writing the Constitu¬
tion must be settled by a vote of the
people. In some ways, he said, the Su¬
preme court decision was the best thing
that could have happened to the coun¬
try because it clarified the issue as he
presented it. The issue must be met
by moving one way or the other, he
Bald, back to the 13 states or forward
to the modern Interpretation.
We are the only country in the world
which has not solved this problem, Mr.
Roosevelt said. We thought we were
solving It, but now it Is thrown right
back tn our faces. We are relegated
to the “horse and buggy” interpreta¬
lon of the Interstate commerce clause.
That many prominent Democrats will
be alienated from their support of Mr.
Roosevelt by this pronouncement Is cer¬
tain. Already there has been launched
a movement for those of the party who
seek “a return to constitutional gov¬
ernment” to unite with the Republicans
who are of like mind. Its leaders are
Rainbridge Colby, who was secretary
of state in President Wilson’s cabinet,
and Chief Justice William it. Pattnn-
gall of the Massachusetts Supreme
court.
Mr. Colby tins written to a number
of Democratic leaders of national re¬
pute proposing they meet in a south¬
ern city, preferably Richmond, "to con-
shier some form of political action that
Is for our country and above party.”
In a letter to a friend in Washington
it was revealed that Chief Justice Pat-
tnngall had decided to resign In order
to Join with other Jeffersonian Demo¬
crats to bring about a coalition with
Republicans and t lie restoration of
“constitutional government" to replace
the New Deal.
Neither of these gentlemen hopes to
prevent the renomination of Mr. Roose¬
velt, but they believe he might he de¬
feated at the polls by a coalition move¬
ment.
Of Democratic senators a number,
like Smith of South Carolina, Connolly
of Texas, Clark of Missouri and King
of Utah, frankly expressed their op¬
position to the President's views. Oth¬
ers expressed rather mild approval.
All were surprised. The conservative
Republicans of course were outspoken
in their disapproval of tlie abrogation
of states' rights, and the more radical
men of that party were divided. Sen
ator Borah of Idaho voiced the opinion
of many others when he said:
"There is plenty of power, absolute
power, to deal with all national prob¬
lems. We don’t need a constitutional
amendment nearly so much as we need
some one to draw bills In accordance
with the Constitution. You can’t draw
a bill on great subjects of this nature
as you would draw a resolution for a
town meeting. Let it he uderstood
that the construction which the Su¬
preme court has placed on the Inter¬
state commerce clause gives ample and
complete and plenary power to deal
with all matters of national concern.”
tT WAS said In Washington that the
1 President and his advisers had de
cided on their course in reforming the
New Deal but would not announce it
for a time. Meanwhile, according to
the story, congress will be urged to
pass makeshift legislation, to reinstate
ttie code system by voluntary co-opera¬
tion of business men. and to treat the
hibor problem by a law protecting any
; itate from goods produced In other
states under labor standards below its
Own. The states will be invited to
make their own recovery laws and the
; federal government will assume the
power of enforcing them.
| Statesmen are trying to devise some
way of centralizing the government
without amending the Constitution.
One suggestion, approved by a good
many, is that congress deprive the Su¬
preme court of appellate jurisdiction
In cases involving wages and hours of
labor, production, and various other
fields in which the New Deal operates.
Mr. Roosevelt himself says that the
Supreme court decision by implication
DADE COUNTY TIMES: THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1935
cast serious doubt upon the validity of
much New Deal legislation besides
NRA, notably the agricultural adjust¬
ment act, the securities act and the
securities and exchange acL
! r\ FFIOALS of the United Mine
V-J Workers of America gave notice
tiiat approximately 450,000 miners in
the soft coal fields would go on strike
unless new wage contracts were
signed before June 16. The members
of the union were warned there must
he no violations of the law nor any
disturbances of the public peace dur¬
ing ti»e strike. The entire soft coal
fields of the United States is included,
but not Canada.
A committee of the producers was
trying to bring about a revision of the
Guffey coal stabilization bill, hoping
this would prove a satisfactory substi¬
tute for the NBA coal code and would
avert the threatened strike.
'T'HERE was great rejoicing In Ra-
I cine, Wls., when the strike at the
J. I. Case company plants was called
off after lasting 80 days. The em¬
ployees accepted the compromise of¬
fer of the company, whose payroll has
been the largest In the city. In gen¬
eral the demands of the strikers were
not met, though the company agreed
to certain raises in piece and day
wages. It promised to re employ the
men without discrimination as busi¬
ness conditions warrant
A (’TING with surprising suddenness,
the senate passed the Copeland-
Tugweil food, drug and cosmetic bill,
which had been modified to meet the
objections of Senators Clark, Bailey
and Vandenberg. Doctor Copeland said
he believed it would get through the
house without difficulty. President
Roosevelt favors the measure.
The bill greatly increases the scope
of the 1 DOG food and drug act, In the
definitions of adulterated or misbrand¬
ed articles, and provides penalties of a
year In Jail or a $1,000 tine for viola¬
tions.
rvNK immediate result of the Su-
v-J preme court’s NRA decision was
the dismissal of 411 cases involving
NIRA, Invalidated by the ruling. This
action was taken by
Attorney General Cum¬
mings with the approv¬
al of the President.
"All of these cases
related to the enforce¬
ment of code or sim
ilar requirements, vio¬
lations of fair trade
practices on the part
of individual business
>;.dL or to minimum failure to wage live up or
hour standards,” the
official statement said. “There are, of
course, a large number of additional
cases in every state in which actual
court action has not yet been initiated.
These also, because of the Schechter
case decision, must necessarily be
dropped."
Chester C. Davis, AAA administra¬
tor, in reply to inquiries concerning
future plans as to maintenance of
marketing agreements and licenses,
sent out the following telegram:
"The Agricultural Adjustment ad¬
ministration has no thought of aban¬
doning either its present program of
marketing agreements for fruits and
vegetables or Its milk marketing plans.
On the contrary, we are now working
with congressional leaders on amend¬
ments designed to strengthen these
marketing agreements and milk plans.”
I ITTLE George Weyerhaeuser, nine-
year-old lumber fortune heir
who was kidnaped from Tacoma, is
safe at home, but the "snatchers” who
held him captive for a week got away
with $2(X>,(XX) ransom money paid by
the lad’s family. They fled in a fast
automobile, and at this writing are
still at large, though pursued closely
by an army of government agents and
other officers. At last reports they
were in the bad lands of Oregon.
rpI.OODS and tornadoes wrought
r havoc in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyo¬
ming, Texas and Kansas—a region
that only recently was afflicted by
drouth and dust storms. It was
thought as many as 250 lives were lost,
and great numbers of families were
rendered homeless. The worst flood
area was in southern Nebraska, where
the Republican river was swollen into
a raging torrent. Several entire vil¬
lages were swept away, and utility
plants and transportation lines were
all washed out.
/■'V UETTA, "garden city” of north-
west India, and all the surround¬
ing region were shattered by a series
of earthquakes. The dead were es-
timated roughly at 30,000, but the ex¬
act number never will he known. The
city and many villages were laid in
ruins, and fire and tiood swelled the
toll of the killed and injured. The
barracks of the royal air force at
Quetta were demolished and more than
fifty members of the garrison were
killed. The city's police force was al¬
most wiped out. While roost of the
victims of the disaster were natives,
there were many English men and
women among them.
D ARE RUTH is out of baseball. The
O most sensational figure in the na¬
tional sport dnring many years an¬
nounced he had quit the Boston Braves,
and soon thereafter Judge Emil Fuchs,
president of that club, announced that
Ruth had been released uncondition¬
ally. The Babe and the management
of the Braves had not been in accord
for some time, and the final break
came when he asked for time off to
meet the new French liner Normandie
' and was turned down.
National Topics Interpreted

National Press Building__Washington. P. C.
Washington.—What of the future?
Where are we going now that one of
the keystones of the
What to Be New Deal—the Na-
Done Now ? tlonai Recovery ad-
been largely outlawed?
The national capital never has wit¬
nessed such confusion, even in the
midst of the World war, as has pre¬
vailed here since the Supreme court
of the United States had Its final say
1 as to the constitutionality of the NRA
and Frazier-Leinke farm mortgage
moratorium law'. The lack of constitu¬
tional authority for the Frazier-Lemke
law was recognized by many but until
the highest court in the land had
spoken concerning NRA, views were
divided and the Blue Eagle continued
to fly, albeit In a lower circle.
| New Dealers generally were con¬
fident to the last. They appeared to
expect some unseen force to guide the
Supreme court In upholding the fan
tastic program which they had devised
and which the President made a part
of his New Deal plans for economic
recovery. The adverse ruling made
them sick at the stomach. Most of
them have not yet recovered. Hence,
confusion continues to reign.
You have heard much discussion In
the past two weeks as to how the
breath of life may again be breathed
Into the Blue Eagle. As far as I have
been able to gather from authoritative
quarters in Washington, there Is noth¬
ing left to do but perform the funeral
ceremonies for the ill-fated bird and
the so-called national plan which it
represented. The reports of Presi¬
dential conferences, of meetings of
statesmen and executives of the Ad¬
ministration, of this plan and that plan
and statements and expressions of
opinion respecting the future course,
mean absolutely nothing. When the
Supreme court said that the congress
had unlawfully delegated to the Presi¬
dent power to draft codes of fair prac¬
tice and enforce them upon private
business, it took away the heart and
nerve centers of the NRA structure.
On fop of this body blow, the NRA
principle is looked upon in many
quarters, and by men who know and
understand the problems of govern¬
ment, as being thoroughly discredited
in the public mind. It Is not too much
to say that when a national law does
not hold the confidence of the bulk
of the people its usefulness has ceased.
So It was with the prohibition amend¬
ment. Equally, I believe It can be
stated. If opinion of statesmen of long
training can be trusted, no attempts
to revise the NRA will get to first
base. Even the Brain Trust movement
to obtain amendment of the Federal
Constitution making such laws as NRA
proper can win country-wide support.
• * *
Enough Indications already have be¬
J come visible to warrant a statement
that the summer
More Hope months will see chis-
! for Future eIin K- P rice cuttln g
and other nefarious
and Improper business practices going
on and that these will be disastrous
to countless business Interests. The
congress will strive in a half-hearted
fashion to offset the loss of strength
and prestige suffered by the New Deal
at the hands of the Supreme court.
But the effort plainly will be only half¬
hearted. So it is made to appear that
the country must submit for several
months at least to a bad condition.
After that, if the opinions of experi¬
enced men are worth while, there ought
to be a substantial change for the bet¬
ter. Careful surveys, close examina-
tlons of the problems at hand and
candid thinking has brought to un¬
biased observers the conclusion that
there is more hope for the future now
as regards the economic situation than
there was while the Blue Eagle con¬
tinued to soar and ballyhoo ariists
continued to preach about its powers
to restore prosperity. 1 believe this
statement which is the consensus
ought to be tempered with one sugges¬
tion. There Is likely to be a restora¬
tion of confidence generally if the Ad¬
ministration turns aside from Brain
Trust theories and employs the prac¬
tical Instead of the theoretical method
| of government.

j To the agricultural community the
j decision Invalidating the Frazier-
Lemke mortgage
Just an moratorium law prob-
Idle Dream ab| .v has greater in
terest. It should not
be so. The Frazier-Lemke law from
the first was an idle dream and was
predicated upon shortsighted under¬
standings of basic economic laws. Ev¬
erywhere I have inquired concerning
the probable end or result of the work¬
ings of that statute, informed persons
declared it meant eventual destruction
of credit for agriculture.
Supporters of the Frazier-Lemke
Idea cannot lean, as do supporters of
the NBA principle, upon an accusation
that the law was badly administered.
It was administered, according to the
Farm Credit Administration, In the
spirit and letter of its intent. Yet be¬
cause it was fundamentally unsound
it never could succeed. My own guess
is that the Supreme court by its ruling
in this case has rendered a great serv¬
ice to American agriculture.
Simmered down, the iaw which was
proposed by Senator Frazier and Rep¬
resentative Lemke, both of North Da¬
kota, was designed to give purely
temporary aid to distressed owners of
mortgage farm lands. The things
which apparently neither of the co¬
authors foresaw was the effect the
temporary arrangement would have as
to the future. By this I mean that,
for example, if a farmer wants to buy
a home and had only a small amount
of cash, he must borrow money from
someone else. If the holder of that
money were made to feel that at any
time during the life of that mortgage
congress could pass a law telling the
lender he could not force payment of
the debt few there would be who would
be willing to lend their money. It is
not human nature to lend money un- ;
less there Is a reasonable assurance
that it will be repaid.
Thus, It seems to me the Frazier-
Lemke law contained elements of
danger that were overlooked in the
stress of depressed conditions. As
laws now stand, lenders of capital will
have some assurance that the security
they take will continue to be security
and that the Individual who borrows,
whether he be the owner of a farm or
the owner of a business in town, either
will make payments on the principal
or surrender the property.
* * *
Perhaps the worst blow dealt Pres¬
ident Roosevelt personally was the Su¬
preme court decision
The Worst which held that the
Blow Presidential power
did not extend to re¬
moval of a Federal Trade Commission
member except for the reasons pre¬
scribed In the law itself. It will be re¬
membered that Mr. Roosevelt forcibly
ousted the late William E. Humphrey
from commission membership because,
it was openly stated at the time, Mr. I
Humphrey was a conservative repub¬
lican and he, therefore, did not see eye
to eye with the President and his New
Deal plans. Mr. Humphrey sued the
government for the salary for his term.
After his death his executors carried
on the litigation which has just now
been decided in their favor.
It is the principle involved here that
is important. The Federal Trade Com¬
mission was set up as a quasi-judicial
body, one endowed with powers to reg¬
ulate against Improper business prac¬
tices and to determine the propriety
of general business dealings where
those dealings affected country wide
business or the interests of the public.
It takes no stretch of the imagina¬
tion to with see the how commission Presidential personnel interfer- j
ence
would result in changes of commission |
policy. One business practice might
be held proper by a commission whose
majority was conservative while that
same practice would be considered il¬
legal by a commission dominated by a
liberal or radical membership. It be¬
comes obvious then that if the Presi¬
dent were permitted to disturb the
personnel of the commission, especially
judges, there could be no continuity
of policy and business itself would
hardly know from day to day when It
was abiding by the law or when it was
not.
• • •
Several months ago, I recall, I re
ported to you in these columns some
thing in the nature
AAA Comes of a prediction that
Next the Supreme court
would become better
known to the general public before the
current Administration had ended than
It had been known since it rendered
the famous Dred Scott decision in civil
war days. It was a perfectly obvious
circumstance. Sooner or later the
questions of a constitutional nature In¬
volved in the New Deal procedure ob¬
viously were going to be tested In
court.
Now, I feel warranted in reporting
that the highest court again will be
in the public eye. The next momen¬
tous decision likely to come from the
bench of the nine austere justices will
be a ruling affecting the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration and there¬
fore of vital Import to the American
farmer. There will be other cases In
voicing New Deal plans, of course, but
their importance cannot possibly he as
great as any decision affecting the
AAA, because it is an integral part of
the New Deal program for recovery.
There is no possibility of a ruling on
any AAA questions before next Oc¬
tober. No test cases have yet reached
the Supreme court for argument but
there are half a dozen wending their
slow way through minor courts. (Jon
sideration by the Supreme court even
tualiy Is, of course, certain because
they Involve constitutional questions.
Notwithstanding the fact that a Su¬
preme court decision on the AAA is con
siderably distant, it is to be noted that
after the NRA was outlawed, there
was considerable scurrying around
among AAA officials. Fresh considera¬
tion was given to many points of law’
over which there is doubt Amend
ments which the AAA have asked
congress to enact to strengthen the
original Adjustment Act were suddenly
withdrawn from the senate floor by
those who sponsored them. The reason
given was that there were imperfections
which should be corrected. The real
reason for the action was fear of sud
den development of litigation over the
controverted points.
