Ruling Expected in May
The Court, after hearing these cases and a few others, will have another decision session next Mon-
day and then adjourn for three weeks. It is deemed likely thiit the Social Security Act ruling will not be announced until the court’: final session late in May, prior to its fourmonth vacation. The Wagner act decisions nc believed postponed until Ma though there is a possibility decision Monday. The Court’ tics in its resistance to the dent’s plan appears to include postponement of any decisions vhich would furnish ammunition to President Roosevelt,.who has been :nsisting upon Federal power to re:ulate mass and interstate manufac uring industries. This is the crux of the ‘Wagner cases.

ATTORNEY ATTACKS COURT REFORM PLAN
High Bench ‘Barrier Against Tyranny,” Speaker Says.
The United States Supreme Court is the “people’s barrier against tyranny and usurpation of power in government,” declared Taylor E. Gronninger, attorney, in an address before the Irvington Republican Club last night. He was assailing President Roosevelt’s Supreme Court reform proposal.’ “A serious matter has been under consideration by our Congress—the destruction of the independence of the Supreme Court,” Mr. Groninger said. “That destruction would be a long step toward autocracy.” Any change should be made through an amendment to the Constitution, he said. : “Nowhere is the President invested with any right or power to tell members of the Supreme Court how to execute the functions of that Court,” he said.

FOR BALANCING OF U. S. BOOKS
President to Give Revised Budget Estimates Next Week.
(Editorial, Page 14)
By United Press WASHINGTON, April 6.—Prospects for a balanced budget next year are less promising today than
at any time since President Roosevelt submitted his fiscal program to Congress last January. Tax receipts are falling behind Treasury estimates. Secretary Morgenthau Jr. announced it would be necessary for the Treasury to borrow more money during the next two and one-half months to supplement tax collections.
Pending in Congress is legislation dealing with low-cost housing, farm tenantry, crop insurance and other programs requiring expenditure of public money for which Mr. Roosevelt did not budget in his January message. Congress already has passed and Mr. Roosevelt has signed a $50,000,000 seed loan bill. No provision was made for it in the President’s budget.
Revised Estimate Due Soon
A more complete chart of the budget situation will be published next week in the form of revised estimates to be sent Congress by Mr. Roosevelt. They will include a request for relief money for the next fiscal year. 4 The figure probably will be not more than $1,500,000,000. Past ex- : perience with relief appropriations indicates that the first sum asked | never is sufficient to see recovery and relief policies through an entire 12-month period. . Announcement of further Government borrowing directed attention to the Federal bond market which has been weak in recent trading. The Government recognized that weakness over the week-end and the Federal Reserve Board announced It was prepared to buy in the open market bonds owned by individuals and corporations who wished to dispose of them. That machinery probably would check any price weakness ceveloping from new Government borrowing. But how much Secretary Morgenthau. intends to borrow is not known.

PROSPECT DIM Loyalist Machine Gunners Stop
10,000 Rebels, Dispatches Say
By United Press

MADRID, April 6.—Hidden Loyalist machine guns “mowed down” two squadrons of Rebel cavalry today ‘and stopped a motorized army of 10,000 insurgents rushing from Badajoz, on the Portuguese frontier, to the relief of Gen. Gonzalo Queipo De Llano’s defeated army west of Pozo-
blanco, Army dispatches reported. One Rebel column of 5000 men,
in 200 lorries and trucks, sped west-
ward out of Badajoz, preceded by two squadrons of cavalry, and moved
down side roads toward the Loyalist outposts at Yerbe. As the Rebel infantry deployed and advanced over a wide area, their artillery laid down a heavy barrage on the Loyalist lines. At the same time, Rebel aviators bombed the Medellin Railway station, 52 miles west of Badajoz. Advance Into Trap
The reinforced Rebel brigade advanced alongside the BadajozMedellin highway and the adjoining Guarena Plain, apparently un=aware, Army dispatches said, of fortifications Loyalists had constructed. Loyalist militia waited until the Rebel cavalry detachments came within 100 yards of their front-line trenches, officers reported, then opened up with machine guns. Meanwhile, another Rebel column of about 5000 men appeared before the Loyalist lines at nearby Villarena, Army reports said. Loyalist artillery batterzes spread “death and destruction,” military reports said.

Sightseeing
Tourists Visit Chinese Temple and Witness Executions.
By United Poe PEIPING, China, April 6—Fifty tourists from the world cruise liner. Reliance, sightseeing at the famous Temple of Heaven, watched horror stricken oday while soldiers
{marched six drug peddlers to a wall
and shot them one by one. The tourists were chatting and laughing in| groups at the temple. They turned at the tramp of feet to see the six peddlers, arms behind them, approach under their armed escort. The soldiers, arriving at a wall, forced the peddlers to kneel in a row. They drew pistols and shot them through the backs of the heads at 10-second intervals at a range of 10 inches. ©One required a second shot. Most of the tourists were too astounded to cry out. One fashionably dressed| young woman groaned as the bodies pitched wietdly and flopped in the dust. The executions over, the tourists with drawn faces walked to their motor cars and drove off. |
