While the decisior upholding the | Washington State law removes the “no-man’s land” of which President Roosevelt spoke, since it gives the states jurisdiction in this field, Administration leaders regard this as no particular victory since their contention all along has been that only Federal statutes covering wages and hours will be effective. The states, they hold, have proved that they cannot do the job. President Roosevelt, it can be said, will not be satisfied with leavi ing this reform to the states. | Some Administration officials pro[essed to see in the minimum-wage decision a definite plan by the Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice Huges, to build up a theory of state solution of these problems, a part of which, they believe, would be to interpret the dueprocess clause liberally where state reform statutes are affected.

Senator Glass, in a radio speech last night, said the proposal was an effort by Mr. Roosevelt to pack the Court “during his present term, even should there be not another,” with persons “entertaining his extraordinary views of government.” He punched vigorously at th® “political janizaries,” the ‘“undisguised radicals” and the “infuriated propagandists” on the Federal payroll who have campaigned for the Court program. Without mentioning his name, Senator Glass referred to Secretary of Interior Ickes as a “visionary incendiary” who went beyond “all bounds” in his “vituperation” against distinguished court justices.

Wagner Act Decision Next, Belief

| Times Special

WASHINGTON, March 30.—The Supreme Court's unanimous opinion upholding the Railroad Labor Act— including its “majority rule” provision—in effect upheld much of the Wagner Labor Act, for the latter statute was copied in large part from the Railroad act. But the biggest question of all, whether the governmental machinery thus approved for railroads can be used also in cases involving steel, automobile and other manufacturing industries of interestate proportions, remains to be decided. Lawyers believe that the Court will settle this question in a decision next Monday, or the following Monday, in the five Wagner act cases.

National Labor Policy Is Drafted

By United Press WASHINGTON, March 30.—Supreme Court affirmation of constitutionality of the Railway Labor Act today spurred new efforts of Federal officials and members of Congress to devise a national labor policy based upon that law. First move was the dispatch for study by Speaker of the House William B. Bankhead of an eight-point national labor policy program drafted by a high Government officer. The measure followed closely the outlines of the rail labor legislation unanimously upheld by the Court.

Early Roosevelt Adherent Deplores Court Plan

Times Special WASHINGTON, March 30.—Joseph Leib, who organized the first Roosevelt for President Club at South Bend, and has been long active among the Young Democrats, today decried the President's plan to put six New Dealers on the Supreme Court. Mr. Leib, who came here from South Bend to take a Governmental position, issued the following statement: “On the shoulders of young men and women rests the responsibility to safeguard the Supreme Court. “The proposal to change the Court is a very serious matter. It is difficult to imagine anything more serious than the possibilities it holds of danger to the elemental rights of the humblest citizen. When the time comes that judges are appointed for their opinions on great questions of public policy, then we might as well get rid of the Court and give all the power to Congress and the President. “Should the President's proposal be approved by Congress, America would be in a state of political slavery. “Congress should not become in the eyes of the Republic a gullible or misguided body. Least of all it should not ‘sell out’ its rights to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people from dictatorship.”

“Last summer, Mr. Bedeaux invited us to visit his 18,000-acre estate this summer, but that was before the marriage plans were made,” she said.

“I doubt whether Mr. Bedeaux, who has been Mrs. Simpson's host, will attend the ceremony.”

Mrs. Ball said the family's plans for the summer still are indefinite. She did not know whether they would attend the coronation of King George VI, or wait for a few months to make a European trip. Last week-end, Mr. Ball entertained John Sloane, New York, another friend of Mr. Bedeaux, who also is reported to have been invited to the wedding. Mr. Sloane's wife and daughter are abroad now, and he is to join them next month to attend the coronation.
