LIQUOR CODE CHIEF ASKS COMPLIANGE Choate Declares Employes’ Jobs “Look Safe” Until June 16. By the Associated Press. A plea for continued compliance with major provisions of the liquor industry codes despite the Supreme Court’s N. R. A. decision went out to- | day as some leaders pressed for swift corrective legislation in Congress. Meanwhile, Joseph H. Choate, jr., administrator of the Federal Alcohol | Control Administration, told his 158 employes their jobs “looked safe” un- til the recovery act expires June 16. The F. A. C. A. was created under the N. I. R. A. and functioned through six codes. Choate told newsmen it has powers of research and investiga- tion not dependent upon the invali- dated code-making authority. “Carry On,” Says Doran. Except for tax prosecutions, directed at illegal rather than unlawful opera- tions, F. A. C. A. was said to exercise the only Federal control over the | liquor industry. | Dr. James M. Doran, administrator | of the Distilled Spirits Institute and supervisor of the Distillers’ Code Au- | thority, issued the appeal to members | of the industry to “carry on.” | “Pending legal study and further consideration of industry policy by our membership,” he said, “I urge that | all members maintain the high stan- | dard of hours and labor at present ! established. 1 also urge that they | maintain the present established stan- dards of clean advertising, informative | labeling of industry products and fair methods and practices in our com- mercial transactions.” Situation Declared Confusing. Ammon McClelland, spokesman for | the rectifying branch of the business, | said, “The adverse decision on the | eonstitutionality of the N. R. A. and | the failure of Congress to enact nny‘ control legislation has now thrown the liquor industry into utter contu- | sion.” | H. W. Jenkinson, supervisor of the national code authority, wine and liquor division, alcoholic beverage in- dustry, said, “Economic chaos detri- | mental to both industry and the pub- Iic must prevail unless Congress takes prompt action. Self-regulation of the alcoholic beverage industries must continue under the beneficial control | of the Federal Alcohol Control Ad-| | ouis S.

SHIPYARD STRIKERS ASK PRESIDENT'S AID! B the Associated Press. CAMDEN, N. J,, May 28.—A SP(‘lmd\ delegation has been sent to Washing- | ton by striking shipyard workers in an effort to enlist the active aid of President Roosevelt. John Diehl and Edward P. Baker, members of the Negotiating Commit- tee of the union which called a strike at the New York Shipbuilding Corp. Pllm on May 11 have been instructed “to camp on the White House steps, 4f necessary, to bring about a settle- ment.” Diehl and Baker said they believe either the President or some other official “will try to effect a settlement when they ascertain the conditions which caused the men to quit work.” The strikers are demanding a pref- erential shop, 15 per cent wage in- crease and elimination of piecework. About 4,500 are affected. SP!CIAL NOTICES MEETING _OF 'I'ROPOLIB U BUILDING.

COURT DECISIONS HAZARD FUTURE OF THE NEW DEAL (Continued From First Page.) this country. I mean, those work=- ers who are included in my bill. 1 believe that bill to be Constitu- tional. There is not one sentence or word in the decision of the Supreme Court which stands as an obstacle to the enactment of the pending 30-hour work-relief bill. If some actica is not taken prompt- Iy. I believe that several million men and women Wwill be thrown out of work. Congress should pro- cede to legislate quickly. I shall urge that we do not attempt a futile thing, but that we shall pass a measure similar to the 30-hour work-relief bill.” Hastings Doubts Validity. Senator Hastings, Republican, of Delaware, here joined the dis- cussion. “I believe that the 30-hour work week bill is clearly much more unconstitutional than the N. R. A. law.” the Delaware Senator said. Senator Hastings read from a memorandum prepared by N. R. A. lawyers which held that an at- tempt to regulate interstate busi- ness and at the same time not to regulate a similar intrastate busi- ness would be discrimination and unfair and unconstitutional. This roused Senator Borah of Idaho. “I understood the Senator from Delaware to read from some N. R. A. legal authority to the effect that you could not regulate interstate business and leave out intrastate business, because of discrimina- tion,” he said. “I do not think that is a sound position. It would be absurd to say that Congress was discriminating if it left out of the law those whom it has no power under the Constitution to control.” Senator Robinson voiced his agreement with Senator Borah. The Idaho Senator continued, however. “I think that the difficulty we will encounter comes from a dif- ferent source.” Senator Borah did not specify the source. George Asks Calm. Senator George of Georgia pointed out that Congress in the past tried to circumvent Consti- tutional principles. “That has got- ten us into trouble,” he added. “I do not think this is an hour for great excitement,” continued Senator George. “Breaking down the N. R. A. will not destroy Amer- ica or greatly disturb business. I am not condemning the N. R. A. or its purpose. It has done some good. In my judgment the act has spent itself and any effort to revive it, except within clear con- stitutional limits, would be a mis- take, because the backbone of this depression is broken.” Senator George said it was im- possible to so manipulate language that the Congress can regulate intrastate commerce. The discussion was concluded by Senator Austin of Vermont, who declared that in his opinion the Black 30-hour work week bill would be clearly unconstitutional. Will Talk Liquor Tax. Representative Doughton of North Carolina, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in charge of the bill to extend the N. R. A. for another two years, said his committee would meet to- morrow for the purpose of consid- ering certain liquor taxes. Unless the White House was ready to come forward with proposals to amend the N. R. A, he said, his committee would not take up that subject tomorrow. It had been planned to press the N. R. A. ex- tension bill to passage in the House today, but that plan had to be given up. Congressional leaders were await- ing a call to confer with President Roosevelt at the White House on the situation. In some quarters it was suggested that Congress might even take a recess-for a month in order to give the administration and committees of the House and Senate opportunity to consider what should be done in regard to shaping legislation which would meet the objections of the Supreme Court. Whether President Roosevelt will send to Congress a special message dealing with the N. R. A. and other New Deal legislation in the light of the decisions of the Supreme Court was discused at the Capitol If the President has any such in- tention, it was not disclosed.

In the celebrated gold cases in the Supreme Court Wood argued on the | side of the Government as attorney for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. He won. In the N. R.

Schech- ter Live Poultry Co., he presented the case against N. R. A’s constitution- ality. WHITLEY SEES VICTORY | IN FIGHT ON N. R. A. WAGE By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, May 28—Legal counsel for John E. Whitney, La Grange con- tractor, yesterday contended the Su- preme Court’s action invalidating the N. R. A. codes paved the way for dis- missal of the temporary injunctmn against Whitley's paying less than the N. R. A. wage scale on Federal ald road projects. ‘Whitley's attorneys announced they will go before Judge E. Marvin Un- derwood, in United States District Court, and ask dismissal of the re-' straining order. They announced also intentions of asking Judge Bascom S. Deaver, in the Middle Georgia District Court at | Macon, to quash 70 indictments pend- | ing against Whitley, charging him with paying lessithan the N. R A.| many years, has increased. The new scale. N. I. R. A. STILL ALIVE STAR, WASHINGTON, | 'NEW APPEAL MADE BY WEYERHAEUSER FOR BOY’S RETURN (Continued From First Page) kidnaping Department of Justice in- vestigators were conspicuously from police headquarters. Friends of the child’s parents said today the $200.000 demanded for the boy’s return was far beyond the fam- ily's present funds. In declaring the ransom demanded was excessive, friends pointed out how the lumber industry, now crippled by a widespread Pacific Northwest strike, had suffered during the depression. | As the hours dragged by, Mr. and | Mrs. ‘Weyerhaeuser awaited a reply | to their pathetic message in a Sunday Seattle newspaper, which said: “Due publicity beyond our control. Please indicate another method reach- |ng you. Hurry, relieve anguished | mother. Percy Minnie.” | The signature was the one ordered | by writers on the ransom note, which | was signed “Egoist, Egoist.” Justice Department agents, veter- ans of previous kidnaping cases and successfu] gangsters campaigns, main- tained tight-lipped silence concerning their activities. They have publicly mentioned no suspects, but it was known they had begun a search for “at least three men” as the suspected kidnapers. ‘The agents turned away questions concerning the case, but their deter- mination to solve the mystery was evident, in spite of a family request to cease “interference.” “We most earnestly ask you not to interfere further,” the family informed the agents after a conference yester- day. “If you refuse to do this it will | bring all our efforts to naught.” The result of this conference with authorities, presumably to determine a | course whereby the boy might safely | be returned, was known only to those | Purcellville Community League the | participating. { | Home Appears Quiet. | | Meanwhile, the residents of the | handsome white Weyerhacuser home | un the hill overlooking Commence- | - | ment Bay tried to retain their nor- mal appearances. The gardener cut the lawns, placed the sprinklers. The maids cooked the meals, washed the laundry. Thirteen-year-old Ann, eldest child of the family, peered through drawn curtains at the curious cars around | the house. While Mr. and Mrs. Weyerhaeuser | waited for a new way to reach the abductors, every piece of mail ad- | dressed to them was examined in the | Tacoma Post Office. The kidnap note gave explicit in- structions, declaring it was “all off” if authorities were told. | “You will be notified where to go when the time comes,” it crisply said. | G. A. R.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, May 28.—A terrific blow to the prestige of President Roosevelt was the view reflected today in press comment on the United States Su- preme Court’s N. R. A. decision. Financial, economic and political leaders puzzled over what would be the effect on American business and labor as well as on the future of the New Beal. “Rodsevelt at bay: America rocks from end to end,” said the Daily Ex- press. Farmers May Revoit. “Agriculturist leaders as a result of the decision are already uttering threats that the ‘farmers may rise in revolt,’ ” sald a special dispatch from New York to the Laborite Herald. A part of the press forecast that President Roosevelt would rebuild the N. R. A. structure and salvage what- ever of its features he may. ‘The Times regarded the decision as a setback for any stabilization moves the President may have had in mind. | “He will doubtless find his way | around these new obstacles.” said the ‘Times, “but amid so many troubles at home it is not likely he will be able to put to one side his American prob- lems and find time and energy to lead the world out of its currency entangle- ments.” Little Effect on Market. The decision produced little effect | in financial quarters, which regarded the Supreme Court’s action as purely & domestic affair. Leading American dealers on the | Stock Exchange expressed the opinion utilities, which strengthened with other trans-Atlantic issues. The rest of the market was unaffected. Firmer dollar exchange was attrib- uted to better feeling regarding the franc, stronger as a result of yester- day’s meeting of the French cabinet, in which support was given to Premier Pierre-Etienne Flandin's budget-bal- ancing program.
