ANOTHER DELAY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY Social Security, like several other pieces of new national legislation, has kicked over its first hurdle on the path to the Supreme Court. The Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston in a two to one decision has de- clared the act invalid on two counts—unemployment insurance feature and old age assistance provision. The Act had cleared the first hurdle, having been upheld by the Federal District court in Boston before going to the Circuit Court where the lower court's de- cisfon was reversed. Now it is still on the path, run- ning full tilt for last hurdle, the Supreme Court, its status just about the same as when it left the halls THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1937 aside for united effort in making our city a little H A p P Y more attractive place to live; a time to make the B I R T H D A Y ix.nmm) check on fire hazards, add a coat of paint here and there, and generally toss off the traces of The Empire extends congratula- tiona and best wishes today, their jwinter and enter into the spirit of spring along with nature, birthday anniversary, to the foilow- Juneau like every other town can stand a little| jng: |cleaning up.
