COURT TO HEAR WAGNER LABOR ACT ARGUMENT
Decision Delay Might Permit New Justices to Cast Deciding Votes.

judgment of unconstitutionality could be reversed in only two ‘ways.
Rehearing Might Be Asked
The ‘Government or other litigants might present a petition for Trehearing. If granted the new Court might be formed before the petition was acted on. Then, presumably, the petition would be granted if the new jurists believed the decision of the earlier ‘Court was erroneous. Or, if the rehearing petition were not granted, a new Wagner act might be drafted which would again raise the identical questions before the new Court. In eit} event, if the new Court a majority agreed with the Chief
1€1 hn Executive in interpreting the Constitution, the earlier Court would be
reversed and the law sustained
Five Courses Open to Court,
Political Writer Says By HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. —The Supreme ‘Court apparently has chosen fight passively if not actively against President Roosevelt’s plan for rejuvenation through either enlargement or displacement. The decision, indicated by Chief Justice Hughes’ extraordinary act in formally denying a published report that he would propose a compromise plan providing for retirement at 75, narrows the choice of courses open to the Court. These include: 1. Complete quiet, letting Congress act as it deems best, but meanwhile continuing the Court's rough treatment of New Deal Jlaws-=which probably would mean curtains for the Wagner Labor Act, more antiCourt resentment among labor, and chance for passage of the President's plan. 2. Evasion, through a refusal to decide the Wagner act and other 18. JOr on broad constitutional refused in the Duke power case and several others

Defiant resignations and a hot challenge to battle from five or six Jutisecs who would unite in a public attack on the Administration. If either Justice Hughes or Justice Brandeis joined in such a project the Administration's prestige might suffer great damage. 5. Another method fight would be a unanimous decision against the Wagner act in the cases being argued this week, but this is deemed unlikely in view of thé attitudes of three liberal justices.

Hughes’ Denial Difficult
Justice Hughes’ denial of the report that he would favor compulsory retirement at 75 must have been particularly difficult for him. not only because it is the Court's policy to ignore newspaper comment but alsd because the printed report was based on the book Justice Hughes wrote in 1928 In this he said no chances should be taken with decrepit judees. and suggested that compulsory retires ment at 75 “econld more easily be defended” than at 70. He will on April 11. Justice Hughes’ haste in denving the report was taken also to indicate a possible schism in the Court itself, for some people believe he was actuated by a fear that his 1998 statement might be accepted as an authoritative exposition of the Court's views today This would suggest that at least some justices are now determined to fight the rejuvenation plan to the bitter end.

Dignity Is Factor The great desire of at least seve ICES To Maintain the Court's and high public esteem complete alafness is ans important factor. Justice Brandeis, for instance, holds Views on this point Resignations of justices to take Part in political battles have been rare. The only recent instances involved Justice Hughes. who quit in 1916 to run for the Presidency. and Justice Clark, who quit in 1922 to campaign for the League of Nae tions. While in office, it is a seldom violated tradition that a justice savs nothing for publication on any subJect, legal or political, outside of his written opinions.

Ry Untted Py WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—A 3949 - 000,000 Relief Deficiency Bill, forced through Congress as a ¢compromise to prevent drastic curdailment of WPA work, today was sent to President Roosevelt for approval. The measure, object of several weeks of bickering between House and Senate, was approved by both houses last might after WPA had started closing down projects during ihe day. WPA Administrator Hany LI. Hopkins said further delay might have cut off activities of 150, 000 WPA workers engaged in flood rehabilitation.

The measure, as finally approved, provided that 30 days after enactment investigating committees no longer can use relief workers. The restriction, similar to the original House proposal, will affect two Senate inquiries—aailroad finance and civil liberties

Tew not
A bulletin of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce said today that the bill introduced in the Legiclature to amend the 1033 Gross Tncome Tax Act would liberalize the law on only one point and broaden the tax base. The only section which liberalizes the law is that to increase exemption allowed retailers from $1000 to $3000, the bulletin said. “Offsetting this,” the analysis continued, “are several proposals to broaden the tax base. For example by including as a taxpayer, a cooperative association, society. ¢lub. fraternity, sorority, lodge or any other political subdivision of the State engaged in private or proprietary activities or business. The Chamber claims that definition of the term “person” or “‘com-= | pany” is made more comprehensible | 20 as to include organizations for= | merly classed as fraternal or edu= cational and increases the number of taxpavers The organization claims algo that while the amendment would pro- | vide some relief to retailers, the term “a
