CONSTITUTION REFORM AIDED DY AAA UPSET I —r Labor, Farmers, Townsend Group Believed Ready to Urge Change. BY MAX STERN Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Possibility of masS support for a consti- | tutional amendment appeared to be j growing today. It was learned that ! three big groups are discussing plans to protect Congress’ right to legislate in their behalf. These are. 1. The American Federation of! Labor. 4.000,000 strong. Its execu- | tive council is to meet at Miami Jan. 15 to make definite plans to launch an amendment. 2. Farm groups. On Jan. 16 and 17 the national agricultural conference. representing 2,500.000 farmers, j is to be held here. This group in- i eludes the American Farm Bureau | Federation, National Co-Operativel Council, National Grain Corp. and Farm Editors. The conference is i to discuss proposed AAA substitutes and possible co-operation with labor in an amendment crusade. 3. The Townsend Planners. Dr. F. E. Towns? id said today he would support an amendment "if this appeared to be the only way’’ to protect his social security plans. He claims a Townsend Club membership of 9.000,000. Claims Need for Amendment President William Green of the A. F. of L. said today that Monday’s Supreme Court decision "points most emphatically to the necessity of amending the Constitution.” At the A. F. of L. convention in October Mr. Green urged union labor to sponsor an amendment broadening and clarifying Congress’ right to regulate interstate industry. The Schechter decision, he said, “placed the immediate welfare and the future destiny of the entire nation under the dead hand of obsolete judicial dogma.” Tne Federation voted to support an amendment, but left details to* the executive council. ‘ The latest decision is disquiet- j ing,” Mr. Green said. “I still hope j the court will make a more liberal j interpretation of the welfare clause ] with regard to the Guffey, Wagner Labor, Social Security and other acts in which we are interested. But we are convinced that the Constitution must be amended.” The form the A. F. of L. amend- ; ment will take is undecided but Mr. Green offered the following draft as a tentative suggestion: Proposal Offered “The Congress shall have the power to enact laws for the social and economic welfare of the nation; and the fifth amendment shall not be construed to impose any sub-! stantive limitations upon the exer-! cise of this power. Nothing herein! shall be construed to impair the I regulatory power of the several: states with respect to the subject! matter hereof, except insofar as the: exercise of such powers by a state i may be in conflict with legislation j enacted by the Congress pursuant to

Jackson Dinners Tonight to Open Democrats’ ’36 Fight, New Deal Defense

Hoosiers Await Address by President: Many Dinners Scheduled. Democrats of Indianapolis and of the state were prepared today for the possibility that President Roosevelt may launch an attack tonight on the Supreme Court AAA decision when he broadcasts his annual Jacksm Day address. A number of ward and township dinne-s will be held in Marion County. The largest, at which Judge Walter E. Treanor. of the Indiana Supreme Court, will speak, is to be at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church. More than 600 persons are expected. The outstanding state meeting tonight will be at Marion, home town of Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, where the Lieutenant Governor is expected to announce his candidacy for the nomination for Governor. Gov. McNutt is en route to Austin, Tex., at the request of the Democratic National Committee. to make the Jackson Day address there. Omer S. Jackson, state chairman, has left for Washington to attend the Jackson Day dinner there. Senators Frederick VanNuys art Sherman Minton and their wives, and Mrs. Samuel Ralston, national committeewoman, are to be the guests at the Washington dinner of Thomas Taggart, national committeeman. One of the larger Marion County meetings will be at the Athenaeum at the joint dinner of the Eleventh, Eighth and Third Wards. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker is the scheduled speaker. G. o7p. club~To~meet New Officers of Warren Group to Have Charge of Session. First meeting this year of the Warren Township Republican Club will be held tonight at 8 at the home of John E. Shearer, 21st-st and Ritter-av. New officers who will take charge of the meeting are John B. Lewis, president; Mvs. Essie Perry, first vice president; Donald Dowles, second vice president; H. H. Conard, secretary, and Ed Huntington, treasurer. this article; and the fourteenth amendment shall not be construed to impose any substantive limitations upon th : exercise of the legislative power of the several states.” Plans for farm groups are still j formative. C Tester Gray of the Farm Bureau Federation said, however, that an amendment would be considered seriously. Dr. Townsend admitted the AAA decision might affect his pension plan. He suggested the plan might be changed to permit the states to administer the pensions. If, after consultation with his counsel, he decides a constitutional amendment is necessary, he said his 6000 clubs would be swung behind such a movement. Senator Carey (R., Wyo.), issued a j statement declaring the AAA decision ruled the Townsend plan out as unconstitutional.

Roosevelt Speech at Washington Banquet to Be Broadcast. By T'niteii Pr^ WASHINGTON. Jan. B—Democrats throughout the nation meet tonight to feast at Jackson Day dinners and open their 1936 political campaign with speeches defending the New' Deal. President Roosevelt, nearing the conclusion of his third year in the White House, is to speak at the Washington dinner and probably outline issues for the campaign. His address will be broadcast nationally on a radio network, beginning at 9 Indianapolis time. The President has given no hint of what he intends to say. but observers believe he will repeat his “state of the nation” challenge. It was not regarded as probable that he would comment on the Supreme Court's invalidation of AAA. Tickets to the Washington dinner were sold at SSO each. W. Forbers Morgan, secretary of the Democratic National Committee, said $45 of this would go to the party treasuiy. Young Democrats of the District of Columbia, at a separate dinner, will pay $lO each, a portion to go to the party. Hope to Slash Deficit Through the dinners party chieftains hoped to wipe out a large portion of the $378,615 deficit. Mr. Morgan said that 2015 tickets had been sold to the SSO dinner in Washington and that 1975 $lO tickets had been sold. Virtually all Democratic officials and many congressmen will attend. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Florence Jackson Stoddard, nearest living relative of Andrew Jackson, will be honored guests. Vice President John N. Garner will attend. On the eve of the dinner the American Liberty League, outspoken foe of the New r Deal, and Rep. B: Carroll Reece (R„ Tenn.) issued critical statements. The League holds its annual dinner here Jan. 23. with Alfred E. Smith, principal speaker. Farley Criticised Again The League again criticised Pastmaster General James A, Farley, who also is chairman of the Democratic National Committee, for alleged soliciting of government officials to purchase tickets to the dinner. It charged Mr. Farley caused the invitation to be sent to government officials in violation of the criminal code. The League said it has evidence that Mr. Farley personally solicited sue contributions from at least five Federal employes. Mr. Reece used sarcasm in comparing the principles of Jackson and President Roosevelt, saying that such comparison “show's that the alleged honoring of Jackson is a fraud on real Democrats.”

BRUNO WILL DIE STOLIDLY. AVER ! PRISON GUARDS I Condemned Man Shrugs When Told His Deaih Set for Jan. 17* By L nitert Prc* TRENTON. N. J., Jan. B.—Slat® prison attendants offered long odds today that Bruno Richard Hauptmann will die in nine days, unless a court reprieves him. as stolidly as he has lived and with any secrets of the Lindbergh kidnaping he may know unrevealed. The condemned carpenter only shrugged and smiled under the razor of a convict barber when Warden Mark O. Kimberling informed him that his execution had been set for 8 p. m„ Friday. Jan. 17. He thanked the warden and lifted his chin so the barber might scrap® | beneath his jaw. "The man really seems convinced he won t be executed.” Mr. Kimberling said. All hope that Hauptminn may have for escaping the penalty for murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. rests with the state Coart of Pardons, which is to consider his cas® Saturday, and on appeal to a Federal Court for a writ of habeas corpus if the mercy court fails him. The habeas corpus writ would b® a preliminary to a npw appeal to the Supreme Court, which already has refused to intervene. Counsel Confident Egbert Rosecrans and C. Lloyd Fisher, his counsel, expressed confidence the Court of Pardons w'ould at least grant him a reprieve after hearing “new evidence” Saturday, but refused to hint what plea they would make. Mr. Kimberling announced final arrangements for Hauptmanns electrocution. The condemned man will hav® little more than 20 paces to walk from his cell, adjoining the death chamber, to the oak and steel chair. Hauptmann has had plenty of opportunity in his months in cell 1 to see the chair, easily visible whenever the death chamber door is opened. Six men have marched past his cell to the chamber while he has been there. In addition to newspaper men and prison officers, the execution is to be witnessed by £>r. John A, Connelly, prison medical director, Dr. Howard Wiesler. resident physician. and Dr. Robert G. Stone, medical director of the Trenton Stats ; Hospital. Slftfl in Groreries Stolen More than SIOO in merchandise was stolen by burglars last night from the grocery operated by Bennie Seigel. at 729 N. West-st. The burglars entered through a rear window. Worshipful Master Installed Ben Domont today is the new Worshipful Master of Monument Lodge 657. F. and A. M. He was installed last night at a ceremony attended by more than 600 persons. He succeeds Earl J. Askren.
