APPRAISES NEW DEAY’S ANSWER TO AMERICAN FARM PROBLEM —LONG A THORNY ISSUE. Court Bases Decision on Fact AAA Was Invasion of Rights of States—Millions Affected.

The supreme court of the United States Monday held the AAA unconstitutional. The vote was 6 to 3. The decision wag rendered with an opinion so sweeping as to make reenactment of any simliar measure seem impossible without constitution. al amendment—a long and difficult task. Striking at the very heart of the law, the decision held that control of crop production even by voluntary agreement and the payment of bountieg exceeded the limitations placed on the power of the federal governmnt. A stunning blow ar what the new deal considers its outstanding recovery achievement, the decision left officials at least momentarily uncertain as tp their immediate course. The decision was in such forcefui terms that it left no doubt that the Bankhead cotton control act would also be declared invalid. It also appeared definitely to scrap the Kerr-Smith tobacco act and the potato conrol law. The decision served to strike down proressing tax on wheat, rice, tobacco, corn, hogs, sugar beets and sugar cane, paper, jute peanuts and rye as well as cotton. ICrop production control programs for all these commodities fell with the decision. The decision was considered the most important in political significance since the civil war. Briefs and arguments submitted during consideration of the case showed ‘the deepest sort of cleavage between the industrial attackers and farm defenders of AAA. s

i [Reverbrations over the court’s dedision were expected to sound furi-ously-through the coming political } campaigns. : The issue of a constitutional amend ment was regarded as an almost inevitable outcome, although the exact form it would take was uncertain. The court based itg decision on the finding that AAA was an invasion of the rights of the states. It also held that the plan itself was “in itself not voluntory.” It was planned by administration leaderg to submit substitute ' legislation to congress without delay to replace the AAA to whatever extent is deemed necessary and possible. The exact legislation will be uncertain un til] study of the decision. The government was expected to be liable for benefit payments to farmers already contracted for. Justice Owen J. Roberts, who read the opinion, said as he proceeded that the Bankheadq act wag merely “a step further” along the same route as AAA, compulsory as was AAA. Striking at the very heart of the’ law the decision helq that control of crop production even by voluntary agreement and the payment of bounties exceeded the limitationg placed on the power of the federal government. That there was no possible chance of a new AAA without constitutional amendment - wag assured when Roberts said that even if the plan was unquestionably voluntary it would fall because it used federal funds “to purchase compliance.” The court’s sensational opinion almost voided the necessity of ruiings in the appeal against amended ed processing taxes brought by Louisiana rice millers and in the attack on the Bankhead cotton act brought by Lee Moor Texas cotton grower. ; | The supreme court’s verdict oh the constitutionality of the act, cornerstone of the new deal’s program of agricultural rehabilitation, was on a par with those handed down in the NRA anq gold clawse cases. Its effects were of vital consequence both to industry and agriculture It wag likely that the decision would play a major part. in the 1936 election campaign. £ The court’s decision was the *.st of the AAA brought by receivers for the Hoosac Mills, a Wew England fextile firm. : In its decision in this case the supreme court presented its appraisal of the new deal’s answer to the American farm problem athorny and perpetual issue in national politics and one which has been a major concern of every administation since the - World War. ; 5

Many of the general outlines of the AAA—the new deal’s attempted solution of thig farm dilemma—were proposed in congress first immediately before the inauguration of President Roosevelt.

NEW ENGINE STOPS HERE : East Bonnd N. : Co Tl’fi.hl No. 4 Makes Run With Diesel : : Locomotive , The first regular New York Central passenger train ever to be power ed by other than a steam locomotive stopped in Ligonier Friday at 11:40 p. m. It was train WNo. 4 and it was pulled by a double-unit Deisel-elec-tric locomotive which is to be tested extensively in actual] service to determine whether the N. Y. C. is to' adopt this type of motive power as a pari of its regular equipment. The engine continued on to Toledo after making the regular stop here. The Diesel locomotive was built hy the Klectro-Motive corporation, which }recently established & new plant in ‘the vicinity of LaGrange, 111. Each of its two 50-foot units resembling box carg in their outward appearance, carries two 900-horsepower Winton engines. The power unit is to be taken to the New York Central shops at Collinwood, where it will be subjected to intemsive tests with the dynamometey cars, which measures every detail of performance. At the conclusion of these tests, the loco~i motive is to make a series of rums in regular service over the varijus divisions of the railway, so that its performance under actual operating | conditions can be checked. : The New York Central has bad Diesel powered engines in service in its Chicago yards for two or three years but thig is believed to mark the first time that the management has considereq the possibility of using locomotives.

A SNWE o PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE TO FOES PITCHES NATION INTO PARTISAN DISPUTE Strikes At Big Business and Deuounces War Spirit of Italy and ~ Japan

President Roosevelt’g challenge to his foes to abandon “coadly generality” and meetg squarely the isSue of accepting new deal standards or discarding them altogether pitehed the country ang particularly Wash ington inty seething partisan dispute. World reaction to his all but un- \ precedented speech before a joint night session of house and senate was immediate tholgh somewhat nebulous ang, bolitically, divided along partisan lines, Roughly, his address divided ints two explosive fragments—the first, a statement of international affdirg that was interpreted in Europe as a veiied attack on Italy, Germany and Japan and heartened Great Britain, France and other League of WNations countries in their effortg tg maintain peace- - the second, an attack on sections of big business that “stea] the livery of great national constitutional ideals to serve discredited special interests” that roused specculation as to organizations and individuals he had in mind. - : Observers believed, and immediate reaction proved, that Mr. Roosevelt opened the 1936 presidential campaign in hig annual report (o ve. Bress on the “state of the naticn’’, His speech wag a “lighting" one and ° it propounded issues many expected to bg disputed almost unceasingly - between now and election day. e Several paragraphg stood out from his address 1o invoke widespread Speculation. One was: . “I_am’ confident that the congress of the United States well understands the facts ang ig ready to wage unceasing warfare against those who Seek a continuation of the spirit of fear. The carrying out of t.he(\iaws of the land as enacted by thewongress requires protection unti! final adjudication by the highest <ribunal of the land. The congress has the right and can find the means to protect itg own prerogatives.”, . This statement was given grea: significance in view of widespread court attacks on new deal laws. Many saw a promise of anti-injunction legislation at this session of congress. Collection of processing taxes under the AAA, the new deal’s farm relief program, have been crippled by injunctions. Only recently a federal judge enjoined the new deal’s labor relationg act. S | Another excerpt: ~ “They seek—this minority in business and finance—to control and often do control and use for their own purposes legitimate and highly honored businesg -associations. They engage in vast propaganda to spread fear and discord among the people—they would “gang up’ against the people’s liberties.” : This roused speculation as to the organization or . organizations Mr. Roosevelt had in mind. The National Manufacturers association sponsored recently a determined attack on the new deal. The United Stateg Chamber of Commerce has been critical, ag has the American Bankers association. Officials of these organizations were not available for immediatg comment. In the section of his speech dealing with domestic affairs, Mr. Roosevelt dared his enemieg to choose and statg publicly their stand on the issue of maintaining the new deal or abandoning it. He recommended to congress ‘“that we advace; that we do not retreat”. The nub of his statement on world affairs wag a recom‘mendation for further neutrality legislation. : He said that on the basis of “existing law’ no new taxes were advisable or necessary at tihs session. The choice of language in this passage was interpreted as a warning to congress that any spending projects beyond administration plans would require an additional levy. Mr. Roosevelt reported: : 1. World peace is jeopardized road. < abz. Land and air disarmament has led. ms.. Outlook for cont!nn'e: naval rmaments reduction ig dark. a_4. “The United States has made substantial material progress out of depression. : 5. “Our resplendent economie autocracy” seeks through political puppets to control newly invoked federal people’s libertiess W:fi Employment and the national Lg ““We approach a balance of the
