JUDGE GRUBB. NEW DEAL FOE, IS 73 TODAY TVA Lawyers Are Studying Latest Blast Against Recovery Laws. By United Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 8 William Irwin Grubb, whose decisions on the Federal bench in the heart of the Democratic South have been blow- to the New Deal, celbracesn the 73rd birthday today. .Judge Grubb has struck three times at the President's program— and each time sent the Administration's ablest attorneys on a long and worried hunt for a flaw in his adverse decisions. Today they were conferring on his latest past which declared, in effect that the government had no legal right to sell electric power in competition with private utilities. Upon that ground he voided a contract between the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Alabama Power Co., under which the TVA was to purchase the power company's transmission lines in the Muscle Shoals area. In October, he ruled NRA was unconstitutional, upholding the contention of W. E. Belcher, Alabama lumber man, that Congress exceeded its power to regulate commerce and had invaded states’ rights. Belcher admittedly violated wage and hour provisions of NIRA. That ease still is pending before the United States Supreme Court. Next he enjoined NRA's bituminous rode authority from enforcing a shedule of coal prices it had drawn up. Unmoved hy Oratory But the sharp-mannered jurist is no deliberate antagonist of recovery. He is a direct, descendant of one of the framers of the Constitution, and throughly believes in interpreting that document strictly as it is written. To him, the TVA decision was a fairly simple formula. He believed the government has no powers except those expressly stated by the Constitution or directly necessary to the exercise of a stated power, and that the manufacture and sale of power does not come under either classification. On the bench, he is coldly impersonal analyzing legal formulas with the detachment of a scientist. Sitting alertly in his huge chair, his keen blue eyes miss little that is going on. Exhortations of the government's legal stars leave him unperturbed. Few Rulings Reversed Off the bench, he is throughly human. Frequently he sends his automobile home in the evening and rides a street car out to his beautiful home atop a mountain overlooking the city. He cheerfully hangs to a strap and takes much interest in conservations overheard. He enjoys a good movie, and attends regularly. His library contains some of the frothiest of fiction in addition to his legal tomes. The judge us a nephew of former President Benjamin Harrison. He was a corporation lawyer until President Taft appointed him to the bench in 1909, and since then few of his decisions have been reversed.

FORD BEGINS MOVING EXPOSITION BUILDING World’s Fair Exhibit to Be Used as Plant Reception Hall. By Times Special DEARBORN, Mich., March 8 Workmen operating a giant piledriver, 100 feet high, have begun the task of driving 644 composite pilings down to bedrock to form the foundation for the huge gear-shaped rotunda of the Ford Exposition Building, dominant structure of the 1934 Chicago World's Fair, which will be reconstructed here as a permanent reception hall for visitors to the Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Co.
