SUPREME COURT DECISION ON AAA MAY CM ENTIRE COURSE OF U.S. GOVERNMENT Agrarian Revolt, Constitutional Amendment, or Refund of Billion in Processing Tuxes May Hinge on Ruling of Justices. P,Y HERBERT LITTLE Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Everything will be genteel and dignified in the Supreme Court’s marble-columned chamber Monday. The nine justices in their sweeping robes, after popping through three great red-curtained arches, will relax in their black-cushioned chairs about mid-afternoon to hear equally decorous lawyers talk about the Constitution and taxes. It will be the start of the most bitter judicial—and po-

litical—battle in many years. The resulting decision may be the most significant since the I)red Scott decision 78 years ago. Quiet of Storm Center The air will be full of “your honors” and “If the court pleases" and there will be order and quiet—the quiet, as Oliver Wendell Holmes once remarked, of a storm center. For the omnipotent court's ruling in these farm cases will affect vitally and directly 20,000.000 farmers. It may cause an agrarian revblt that would recall the Populists to many. It may shape action on amendment of the Constitution. It may lead to a drastic curb on the power of Federal courts —a process which Congress has already started in the second AAA Act. Treasury refund of a billion dollars in processing taxes already collected and spent is at stake. The farm cases are symbolic as well as significant. In the first one, the Hoosac case, William M. Butler, confidant of former President Coolidge, is resisting payment of processing taxes. Here is an instance of taxation to redistribute the national income and provide a larger share to the farmers. Farmers have cited the protective tariff and its benefit to manufacturers as a justifying precedent. The battle reflects the declaration of war which big business pronounced against the New Deal in New York this week. John W. Davis, conservative Democrat, corporation lawyer and Liberty Leaguer, stands shoulder to shoulder with exSenator George Wharton Pepper, conservative Republican, in denouncing AAA as an unconstitutional scheme for Federal regulation of local affairs, namely, the acreage and production of farmers. Advocate Protective Tariff And the business interests now so forcibly asserting this anti-Federal-ist doctrine are attacking the position taken by Federalist Alexander Hamilton in advocating a protective tariff. The justices, although averaging past 70 years, have speeded up their actions in recent years, and probably will have a decision within a month to drop into the midst of the election-year Congress. Monday at noon the nine men will start off by announcing decisions written in the current two-week recess. The Hoosac case probably will come up in mid-afternoon. The next day the fight over the Bankhead Cotton Control Act, which unlike AAA itself involves compulsion, will be heard. The following week the rice processing tax case and the TV A cases will be heard. The TVA decision likely will determine our national power policy. The court will recess over the holidays and the justices will retire to their quiet chambers, to study and to assign law clerks to look up precedents, to meet in conference and to debate and fight—in a gentlemanly way—for two or three weeks. Congress meets Jan. 3. The court will reconvene probably Jan. 13, and announce its decisions on that Monday or on one of the two following Mondays. Government Confident Government officials are putting tip a brave front of confidence that AAA W'ill win, but some of their smart lawyers privately fear that the court will sweep the whole AAA, acreage control and benefit payments as well as taxes, down as an unconstitutional, unauthorized Federal activity. The anti-AAA lawyers are emphasizing the statement last spring of Justice Roberts, in the railroad retirement act case, that that law “denies due process of law by taking the property of one and bestowing it upon another.” And Roberts’ vote may be the deciding one here as it was in the railroad case. The four conservatl. justices, on their past records, are deemed most likely to oppose AAA a? they have the gold, railroad, NRA, Frazier-Lemke, New York milk control and Minnesota farm mortgage moratorium laws. Exchange to Hear Doctor Dr. H. M. Powell of Eli Lilly Cos. is to address methods of preventing colds at the Exchange Club meeting Monday at the Board of Trade. Annual meeting for the election of officers and directors is to be held Dec. 23.

SOCIAL SECURITY LAWS DISCUSSED Federal Expert Explains Provisions to Local Business Men. Many Indianapolis business men today are familiar with provisions of social security legislation as a result of conferences held yesterday with Merrill G. Murray, associate director. unemployment compensation bureau, Federal Social Security Board. In conferences arranged by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Murray explained what type legislation Indiana must have to benefit by the unemployment compensation tax. He led a panel discussion on the legislation following a dinner last night, at the Lincoln. Today, Mr. Murray was to leave Indianapolis to attend a special session of the Minnesota legislature. In general the points which must be incorporated in an Indiana law are: Benefits are to be paid through the public employment offices, and can not begin until two years after the law is in force. Funds collected by the state must be held in trust by the United States Treasury and can be drawn out only for benefits. Unemployed persons must accept employment offered except when the plant offering employment is having strike difficulties, wages, hours and conditions arc lower than prevailing scales, or if the employe would be forced to resign from union membership or join a company union. Administration of the act would remain in the hands of state authorities. Mr. Murray said. Shelby Doctors Elect Times Special SHELBYVILLE. Ind., Dec. 7.—Dr. M. M.
