FINDS NO PERIL 0 CIVIL RIGHTS

New Deal Is Cleared of|

Charge After Survey of Two Years.

BY HERBERT LITTLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7~-An American Bar Association committee, while assailing the New Deal on other points, said in a formal report today that there was “no jus--tification” to - assertions that the Roosevelt Administration has chal-

“lenged or infringed political rights

of citizens. The report specifically mentioned constitutional freedom of press, assembly, speech and petition among these rights. Four members signed the majority report. Three others, without disagreeing, filed a report arguing that the Supreme Court already has covered the ground, .and warning that “bitter partisan political discussion” would result from further agitation of the subject. The report, authorized two years ago, will be made to the bar convention in Boston late this month.

Landon Aids Signed Report Charles P. Taft 11, Cincinnati, one of Gov. Landon’'s campaign advisers, signed the majority report, along with John D. Clarke, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Fred H. Davis, a Florida Supreme Court Justice, and George L. Buist, Charleston, S. C. Mr. Buist filed a supplemental report charging the New Deal with “collectivism” and with seeking to alter the American form of government by causing “efficient and thrifty” citizens to support “those members of the populace who desire to live in indolence.” The minority consisted of James G. McGowen, Mississippi Supreme Court Justice; Pred L. Williams, former Missouri Supreme Court justice, and Kenneth Wynne, Connecticut ‘Circuit Court judge. On personal liberties, the majority said: “The - careless assertion that the policies and practices of the present national administration either challenge or infringe these political rights’ (speech, press, assembly and petition) has no justification. Terms View Distorted “The wide delegation of powers to the President beginning March, 1933, is most frequently pointed to as an invasion of these constitutional guaranties and as the substitution of some kind of dictatorship

* for’ political democracy. This is a

distorted view. “Neither Congress nor the President considered this delegation of power as the end of or as a limitation of our normal political processes. At no time did any one suggest that Congress had lost its power to withdraw these extraordinary powers. No one believed in November, 1934, that the congressional election was a sham battle in the sense that the Congress then

being elected could actually have no

power to control national policies. “No one asserts that the campaign of 1936 is futile because the people have been stripped of any part of their political power.” Supreme Court Praised The report praised the Supreme Court’s anti-New Deal decisions as establishing - further “the right of the citizen to be protected ,against unconstitutional legislation.” It charged that at the outset the New Deal tried to close to citizens “all avenues for adjudication of rights” under the laws. NRA was criticised because of its “vice of bureaucracy” and the irresponsibility of the private business bodies which tried to enforce penalties. On “economic rights” of citizens, the report warned strongly that the “NRA idea” is “still alive,” and that

.even broader plans of industrial

control are to be presented to the

next Congress. Furthermore, only | Rf

a “precarious majority” of the Supreme Court is blocking the way to congressional enactment setting up Federal control over manufacturing, it added.
