peril which Gov. Roosevelt envisioned seven years ago." he eaidk "This, with other dangerous evils, contrived or connived at by the government, is the real crisis which faces the nation and cannot be cured by degrading the supreme court." Glass' speech was hailed by foes of the court bill as a powerful stimulus to their light against the measure. They asserted, too. that the supreme court's decisions in the Washington minimum wage case and the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage case strengthened their position by pointing the road by | which congress and the states may achieve their goals without change in the tribunal or in the constitution. "The opposition will gain defiI nite aid from the decisions, pari ticularly the suggestion by Asso i ciate Justice Louis D. Brandeis as | to how legislation declared invalid can be redrafted to meet constitutional requirements," Sen. Edward R. Burke, D.. Neb., said. Administration leaders, however, viewed the court's reversal of its stand on the minimum wage controversy as an "admission" of their arguments for the president's plan. Several expressed the view i that the court enlargement proj posal was having “an effect” on the court. "It is the finest kind of argument in favor of the president's ; program," Sett. Sherman Minton, i D., Ind., remarked of the wage de-< i cisiou. “It makes us that much j more determined.” o AWAIT SUPREME the present term of the court, which political commentators are likely to ascribe to a belief that the court "follows the election returns.” Since invalidation of the Guffey coal control act last spfing. the administration has trot lost a single case before the court For the most part, however, the court's opinions since its return from a summer recess have dealt with minor matters, until yesterday's session released an avalanche of accumulated cases. The end of the day left only the Wagner labor act cases and litigation involving the New York unemployment insurance law — part of the

It was be- ■ lleved to revive and make effective at once the minimum wage l laws of many states, including - some of the principal industrial states of the nation • States which have had minimum ‘ wage legislation for women or i minors, or both, are Oregon, Arii zona.

In many, if not a mai jority, of them tho old and inoper | ' ative laws may be revived without ' j further legislative action i The ruling marked one of the | i rare occasions on which the court I has reversed Itself. The outstand-! ing reversals in the past involved j | the principles of the Died Scott ; case and the legal tender act' i cases. , i Fourteen years ago the court, by ■I a live to three vote, condemned i the District of Columbia minimum wage law in the case of an elevator operator. As a result the court was bound to condemn future laws The latest minimum wage law to fall was the New York state act. It was condemned last spring by the same jurists who voted to up- ' hold the Washington, act by a vote ’ of five to four. Yesterday Justice . Owen J. Rolierts, youngest member of the tribunal, changed his vote to swing the balance of power in favor of the “liberals."

It was reported that leaders of the uprising in Tetuan' had hoped ! to spread the movement through- | out the insurgent forces in Spain Generalissimo Francisco Franco, rebel chief, was reported from Tangier, across the Straits of Gibraltar in North Africa, to have hurried to Tetuan. presumably personally to direct the suppression of the purported dissension among his forces in Spanish Moroc- ’ co—seat of the initial revolution | last summer.

. “PLAY BALL!” I WHEN the umpire walks back of the plate and roars “Play Ball!”, Spring is here to stay. Thousands of fans have waited for this thrilling moment... to see white base-lines against green grass ... to hear the sharp crack of a three-bagger... to join their cheers with the crowd in this great American sport. From baseball, Americans have borrowed the phrase, “Play Ball,” as a synonym for fair-and-square, above-board dealings. Spring is here in the newspapers too. You’ll find advertisements for Spring suits and dresses. Others on seeds and gardening equipment. Porch furniture and hundreds of other springtime purchases are spread before your eyes. These advertisements are your guide to reputable merchandise. Merchants and manufacturers who stand back of these advertisements are unwilling to risk their reputations by extravagant claims for inferior products. They are “up to bat” every day. They cannot afford to “strike out” on your good-will. That is why the advertisements in this newspaper will save you time, trouble, worry, and money. 1

asserting that the Italian and German retreat from Alcaracejos was "another Guadalajara." exerted every effort to head off the fleeing | nationalist forces from Puerto Calatraveno in the Chlmorra mountains, south of Pozoblanco, where they were headed. Keeping the insurgent troops fighting every foot of the retreat, the loyalist army pushed out two pursuing columns in a flank attack on the left of the retreating army. One advanced rapidly southward | from Pozoblanco, scene of several | weeks' bloody fighting, toward Villaharta, on the Cordoba road, in an effort to cut off the retreating rebels from the Cordoba base. o British Soldiers Die In Fight With Natives New Delhi, India.
