SUPREME COURT’S VERDICT ON OIL CASE IS HAILED AS GUIDEPOST FOR NEW LAWS Path of New Deal Legislation Cleared and Lighted by High Tribunal’s Decision on XIRA Provision. BY HERBERT LITTLE Timm Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The path of legislation to continue and extend the New Deal’s industrial and farm features along present cotie lines was cleared and lighted today—the result of the Supreme Court’s Panama-Amazon oil decision. The court at once turned to the Roosevelt Administration’s monetary policy as its next order of business. It opened arguments on the gold devaluation cases with Attorney General Homer Cummings presenting the Government’s side in

person the first such appearance by an attorney general in many years. Senator Robert F. Wagner ( D„ N. Y ). one of the recovery act authors, hailed the oil decision as indicating the court would uphold the NRA phases of the act in forthcoming tests. He pointed to a “very clear distinction” made by the court between the lack of regulatory standards in the powers granted by the oil regulation paragraph of NIRA, which the decision invalidated, and the code sections which grant similar authority but only upon “certain express conditions which require findings by the President,” according to Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes’ opinion. Orders Held Invalid The court did not, however, formally pass on the authority for codes. It held that the oil regulation paragraph. section 9C, was an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the President. The President’s executive orders issued under DC were held invalid. According to legr l experts, the decision also set up definite guideposts for Congress to follow in delegating powers. First, an act must define the policy which the President or agency Is to carry out. Second, it must state a general standard, or set of limits, for executive action under any such delegation. ’ The anti-NRA fellows can't get any consolation out of the decision,” Senator Wagner commented. Donald R. Richberg, National Emergency Council director and another author of the act, and Blackwell Smith. NRA's acting general counsel, voiced similar views. “flood Advice” Says Smith “Good advice at the right time,” said Mr. Smith on behalf of the National Industrial Recovery Board. He welcomed the decision as “a partial guide for preparation of impending industrial legislation.” An important point was made by Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo .u pointing out that the crux of o!. regulation—the power to regulate production—was not involved in the two cases from East Texas. He differed from the majority only in holding that the recovery act does prescribe sufficiently the policies to be followed in carrying out the powers delegated in section 9C. On Capitol Hill, Senators pointed out that 9C was not in Senator Wagner’s original draft of NRA. It was added by a floor amendment. autcTsalesmen seek TO FORM ASSOCIATION Hope to Prevent Resumption of Work on Sabbath. An attempt to form an association of auto salesmen will be made at 7 tonight at the Antlers. More than 400 salesmen are expected to attend the meeting.

The salesmen are principally concerned. leaders in the movement said, over the resumption of open Sundays in practically all salesrooms after a period when the show rooms remained closed by cc mmon agreement of dealers.

WABASH PUBLISHER DECISION REVERSED Late Don Nixon Cleared of Contempt Charge. The Indiana Supreme Court today reversed the contempt of court conviction of Don M. Nixon, deceased publisher of the Wabash PlainDealer and Times-Star, several months after Mr. Nixon’s death. Mr. Nixon had been hr.cd SIOO and sentenced to serve 10 days in jail following his conviction for contempt for publishing articles severely criticizing the action of Circuit Judge Frank O. Switzer in appointing a receiver for the Wabash Loan and Trust Cos. The articles charged that the receiver was incompetent to manage the affairs of a bank. The Supreme Court held that regardless of the truth or falsity of the articles, their publication was after the court’s appointment had been made and that the articles in no way impeded the work of the court.

Young City Couple Died Accidentally of Fumes, * Says Coroner’s Verdict

Failure to Open Ventilator in Cabin Responsible, Is Verdict. Failure to open the small ventilator in the roof of the tiny oneroom cabin at the Tall Timbers tourist camp, near McCordsville, in which their bodies were found, today was held responsible for the deaths of Eugene J. Fulke, 20, of 931 E. Tabor-st, and his 20-year-old sweet-

heart, Miss Mary Bisesi, 4005 S. Keystone-av, yesterday. That decision was reached last night by Dr. Paul Allen, New Palestine, Hancock County coroner following an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the renting of the cabin by the

Mary Bisesi

young couple, who registered as “Mr. and Mrs. Edwards” of Indianapolis. Dr. Allen, who is a dentist, reported that death was caused by accidental poisoning and suffocation from inhaling natural gas fumes. The natural gas heater in the cabin was burning when Frank B. Colvin, camp manager, broke in the door of the cabin yesterday morning after the young couple had not been seen outside since 11 Monday morning. The furniture and other equipment in the cabin were covered, Dr. Allen said, with soot from the natural gas heater. The five windows in the cabin were tightly closed, and the young couple were suffocated by the fumes as they apparently lay asleep on the one bed in the cabin. Plans to conduct a post mortem examination of the bodies were abandoned by Dr. Allen, who had the bodies examined by several Greenfield physcians, including Dr. Oscar Heller, his predecessor as coroner, and Dr. J. L. Allen. Members of the Bisesi family said Miss Mary Bisesi ancl young Fulke had boen sweethearts for about three years. Two diamond rings were found in the dead girl’s purse. One had been given her by her mother—the other by young Fulke. The bodies, nude when they were discovered, were brought to Indianapolis last night by Walter T. Blasengym, funeral director, 2226 Shel-by-st. Funeral services for Miss Bisesi wil be at 9 Friday morning at the Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church with burial in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Services for Mr. Fulke will be at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon in the Barth Place Methodist Episcopal Church with the place of burial not yet known to Mr. Blasengym. Preliminary identification of the bodies was made from a small metal souvenir pocket-piece found in the pocket of Mr. Fulke% trousers. The names “Eugene Fulke-Mary Bisesi” were engraved on the

pocket-piece. Coroner Allen said the souvenir evidently had been obtained at A Century of Progress, Chicago. Members of the families denied that there had been parental objection to the association of the young couple. Sunday afternoon, Mr. Fulke drove to the Bisesi home and said he and Mary planned to take an automobile ride. The camp manager said the young couple arrived at the Tall Timbers tourist camp at 8 Sunday night. They had visited the camp on other occasions, he said. Monday morning an employe went to the cabin and knocked. The young couple protested because they had been disturbed, Mr. Colvin said. They arrived at the camp in a Plymouth coupe, belonging to the young man’s father. Miss Bisesi and Mr. Fulke were lifelong residents of Indianapolis, Miss Bisesi attended Holy Rosary Parochial School and St. Mary’s Academy. She attended St. Catherine’s Roman Catholic Church. Her father, Gus Bisesi, is a commission merchant. Her mother, Mrs. Angeline Bisesi, died 13 years ago. Besides her father and stepmother, Mrs. Bertha Bisesi, she is survived by two sisters, Miss Josephine Bisesi and Miss Magdalene Bisesi; three brothers, Gus Joe Bisesi, Joe Bisesi and Mike Bisesi. and her grandparents, Gus and Mary Bisesi, all of Indianapolis. Mr. Fulke was the son of Mr. anti Mrs. Jesse F. Fulke. Survivors are the parents; a sister, Miss "Melba Fulke, 25, and a brother, Edward C. Fulke, all of Indianapolis. Mr. Jesse Fulke is in the gasoline business. Young Fulke attended School 34 and Emmerich Manual Training High School and was a member of the Barth Place Methodist Episcopal Church.

KIDNAP GANG FREES WABASH COLLEGE MAN Bares Details of Ordeal After His Release in Chicago. (Continued From Page One) a Federal agent who instructed the victims to go to the Department of Justice offices in Chicago. Meanwhile, the hotel officials had called Chicago police who questioned Bomberger for several hours before turning him over to the Federal authorities for further examination. Police were questioning him further. At Wabash College, Dean George V. Kendall said young Bomberger was graduated from the college last June and had returned this year to do post-graduate work. He had a Phi Beta Kappa scholarship record in the college, Dean Kendall said, and since the Christmas holidays had been an assistant instructor in the department of French. The student had participated in cross-country runs, but otherwise had no distinguished athletic record at the institution, Dean Kenc’.all declared. The ransom letter had not been turned over to the Department of Justice early this morning. This was admitted by Mr. Bomberger from his home in Hammond. He said he had reported the case to the Department of Justice and had been told that he was to make public no details of the case. “I know that young Bomberger was in Crawfordsville on Sunday,” Dean Kendall declared. “He is a very good boy and I consider him very reliable.” When told some doubt had been expressed that the abduction w T as a ransom kidnaping, Dean Kendall said he would be ready to credit the statement young Bomberger had made, so confident is he in the reliability of his French department assistant. In Indianapolis fears of wealthy parents that their children mignt be abducted while on their way to and from school were renewed. Extra precautions were taken, and children were accompanied to school and were to be met by adults for their return trips home.
