A—6 BILL LIBERALIZING RF.C.15 SPEEDED House Banking Committee to Hasten New Law on Loans. e By the Assoclated Press. Members of “the House Banking Committee indicated today they will speedily approve legislation to liberal- jze Reconstruction Finance Corp. loans to industries. . A proposed amendment to the R. F. C. act would permit the corpo- ration to accept security that would only reasonably assure repayment of the advances. The law now demands “adequate security.” This relaxation has long been urged by Representative Hancock, Demo- crat, of North Carolina, but not until yesterday did the R. F. C. come &round to his view. Stanley Reed, general counsel .of the agency, proposed to the committee an amendment to the law in line with Hancock’s views. One committee member said a poll of the group showed it favored the change. Jesse Jones, R. F. C. chairman, told the committee earlier in the week that out of $300,000,000 on which the corporation can draw for advances to industry less than $35,000,000 had been set aside for loans and less than $7,000,000 actually had been dis- bursed. The committee also i3 expected to give prompt approval to a bill now before it to permit the R. F. C. to function another two years. R. F. C. officials have urged speed because the ‘s life expires January 31 under existing authorization. The amendment suggested by Reed would require that the borrower be solvent, would retain the present $300,000,000 limit on aggregate loans and let the R. F. C. prescribe its own rules and regulations for making the advances. NAVAL SCIENTISTS LAUDED BY SWANSON Four Astronomers Cited for Out- standing Work in United States Service. val Observatory scientists yesterday received letters of commen- dation from Secretary Swanson for oustanding service. The scientists are: Dr, James Robertson, head scientist (astronomer) of the Uni- versity of Michigan; Dr. Herbert R. Morgan, principal scientist (astrono- mer) of the University of Virginia; Harry E. Burton, principal scientist (astronomer) of the University of Iowa, and C. B. Watts, senior scien- tist (astronomer) of the University of Indiana. All are attached to the Naval Observatory. In making the announcement the Navy Department said Dr. Robertson has been largely responsible for the development of the Nautical Almanac “to its present highly perfected state.” Great Britain and France have considered the methods and formulae of the Naval Observatory so excel- lent that they have requested per- mission to use the American tables in their future publications. So successful has been Dr. Mor- gan’s work in conjunction with the meridian transit, that the American Association for the Advancement of Science has elected him vice presi- dent and chairman of the section on astronomy. Equatorial observational work by Burton brought him recognition by the International Astronomical Union, Cambridge, England. Excellent work with the six-inch transit circle by Watts caused his se- lection as a member of the division of physical science of the National Re- search Council, Turkey Thieves Awaited. Southern California police are on the lookout for a new type of public enemy—the turkey thief. A band of them recently made off with 1,000 birds, using a truck. ________EDUCATIONAL.

NA. 8250 In Capital Letters Gold Clause Shrouded in Secrecy Under Study by Justices. BY GENEVIEVE FORBES HERRICK T IS wrong to say that the cele- brated gold clause case is shroud- ed in more secrecy than other cases before the Supreme Court | of the United States. You can't beat 100 per cent, and each case is | shrouded in 100 per cent secrecy. But the great importance of the case and | the wide interest it has aroused focus special attention on its progress. Here is the course the case travels: The arguments are heard. The court does not then, like the average jury, go into an immediate huddle to debate and reach a verdict. Instead, it goes right on hearing other cases, for the full two wecks of the term.” The court alternates, two weeks of hearing arguments, two weeks of theoretical recess— that's when the Justices do their home work, which is their hardest work. During the fortnight of sessions the justices meet Saturday mornings in | a dingy basement room at the Cap- itol. They talk. there to hear what they say. No stenographers are there to record it. They make their own notes, carry them back to their studies. When a justice dies, these notes of his, his own private property, are destroyed. | During the fortnight of recess the justices meet on only one Saturday. | ‘The rest of the time they spend in their own libraries. When they move into the luxurious new building of their own, which, by Finer--- Your No secretaries are | THE the way, many of them don't want, they will have individual offices. Now but two of them—Justices Sutherland and Roberts—have studies at the Cap- itol. Years and years ago, provision was made, down in that same basement, for offices for 12, against a possible round dozen on the court, Only two of the then justices took possession. A vacant office is a lure to a politician. ‘The remaining rooms were grabbed by Congressmen. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania was, they say, the first to appropriate some of the judicial space. The seven other justices work at home, and like it. Chief Justice Hughes looks out of the first-floor study of his dignified home, and sees the man in the street as he writes his decisions. Justice Brandeis lives in one apartment, rents an adjacent one for his library. In their libraries you'll find the justices nearly every night. They, alone of the official group, may refuse invitations, even White House invita- tions. Reason one—They have too much work to do to go the social pace. Reason two—and doubtless more fundamental—They prefer to build a barrier between their independent de- cisions and the subtle propaganda of even an honest dinner partner who “just must talk about a case.” Result—They spend most of their time at home. But to return to those Saturday morning meetings. The Chief Justice calls up the case. He talks about it first, as long as he wishes. Then he | turns to Justice Van Devanter, who is next in order of seniority, and gives him the floor. Soon, down the line, of seniority — Justices McReynolds, Brandies, Sutherland, Butler, Stone, Roberts, and last, the freshman mem- ber, Cardoza. Some times, if it's an important case, more meetings are mecessary. There is no rule. Finally comes ‘ the day for the vote. Again, the debate starts with Chief Justice Hughes, ends with Justice Cardoza. When it comes to the actual voting, | | the process is reversed, Justice Car- doza votes first, then up the line, with Grocer |:"|as It "SALADA TEA Bad Breath?..that’s EVENING STAR,” WASHINGTON, the Chief Justice casting the final vote. Writing of Opinions. If, as in the great majority of de- cisions, it is a umanimous vote, Mr. Hughes selects one of the number to write the decision. If it isn’t unani- mous, but Mr. Hughes is on the side of the majority, he still selects the one to write the majority opinion. If he is on the minority side, the senior justice in the majority group chooses the man to write the opinion. The minority members always make their own selection on the writer of the dissenting opinion. The decision finally is written. Not a word gotten to the world. Now the decision must be printed. How does the court keep this secret? ‘Well, for years it has been trusting the integrity of one man, a private printer here in Washington. The de- cision is not printed at the Govern- ment Printing Office.

As he finishes the last word, and clears his throat, reporters will dash into the ante-room, and grab from the clerk, as fast as he can hand them out, neatly-printed little booklets containing, verbatim, decision.
