We tinkered with it, and improved it when we gave the vote to women. and we improved it some more when we made it possible to tax incomes. More Tinkering Needed. “Now that Constitution needs some more tinkering. We need to con- sider how it can be made to meet the needs of this hour.” He expressed high regard for the Supreme Court, but said the N. R. A. decision had “tied the hand of progress. and held up the wheels of Government.” He made no reference in his ad- dress at the university dinner to the talk he had with the President & few hours earlier. Daniels’ address stirred the assem- blage of trustees, faculty. alumni and students of the university, who had gathered for one of the last events of the academic vear, which is to! close Monday with commencement. Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor of the university, announced a grant of $24.000 from the Rockefeller | Foundation to the university's School of Public Affairs for its “in service” training program. The grant will be used for the purpose of enlarging and ‘ developing a program of specialized work for Government employes which was begun during the second semester of the present academic year under an emergency grant of $4.000 from the same foundation. Exchange Fellowships Arranged. Exchange fellowships, under an ar- rangement with the Italian Ambas- | sador, also were announced by Chan- cellor Gray. American University will receive Italian students for instruc- | tion here and A. U. students will go to Italy to study under special privi- leges and benefits. Dr. Gray extended appreciation to the Ambassador through Signor Eugenio Bonardelli of the Italian Embassy, who was a | guest at the dinner. | Ambassador Daniels, in making his suggestion for a constitutional conven- | tion, charged that “we are trying to | run the Government on the ox-cart methods of a century ago.” The Supreme Court’s N. R. A. de- eision. he said. had opened the way for return of child labor, long hours and low wages. Answering what he said had been a “great deal of criticism of the so-called brain trust.” the Ambassador declared his “only regret was that we havn't had more men in public life with | trained brains.” He called on the in- | stitutions of learning to train Ameri- cans for public work, and highly praised the new School of Public Af-| fairs of American University for its | of them went ahead. depths of Government which were | probed. Said he: permission to reply later to Holt's | argument.

Future historians will realize it better than we do. The revolution is over. or rather it was over until the Su- preme Court spoke. Can Change Constitution. “The prosperity of business is not a local State matier. Every one now recognizes that, no matter what the Supreme Court says “The National Government has been accepting that fact as settled. because the public agreed. It has taken extra-Constitutional steps to provide an orderly, bloodless Gov- ernmental revolution, furnishing cen- tral authority which business needs for co-operative effort. “If the Supreme Couri says it cannot be dome because of the Constitution, and the people want to do it, the Constitution will be changed. The only other thing possible is a dictatorship, and we do not want that.” These are sharp words for a Presi- dential counselor, but they were mild | in comparison to those offered by some less conservative authorities. The most important phase of the decision was the reaction to it. For weeks before, business men (United States Chamber of Commerce, et al.) were complaining publicly that the New Deal should let them alone so thev could go ahead. If very many it was not ap- | parent. The depression in the stock market was unexpected and remark- able. Two Explanations. Some business men explain this by saying that they could not start a bull movement in and out of the mar- ket because they did not know what the President was going to do. This is entirely true. The inflationary or eflationary results rested entirely with whatever decision he made. But most authorities also suspected that, if nature were permitted to take its €ourse. a deflationary period of price cutting and wage cutting would set in, which would more than offset any business hallelujahs at being re- leased from Government restraints. What is driving lawyers mad is the fact that the Supreme Court did not really lay down any fixed policy of restraint against the Government in its N. R. A. decision. | For instance, the court said the retail poultry business in New York | City is interstate commerce as far as | Federal anti-trust law is concerned, but not as far as the N. R.

Message From Secretary. discussion | Holt presented a message from the | Secretary of State of West Virginia supporting his contention that the per- son who acknowledged the primary certificate was a notary public. After reviewing in detail election contests in the House and Senate going back to ' the early days of Congress, Holt stated: “The cases of John Young Brown, | ! Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson also | disclose that neither the House nor the Senate ever has measured the age requirement as of March the 4th. (March 4th was formerly the date for beginning terms. It has since been changed to January 3.) Had either the date of election or the date of March 4th been considered controlling in these cases. none of those young men could have qualified as to age, but neither date was considered de- terminative, so they were seated.” Holt also made a reply in regard to two other cases cited by those support- ing Hatfield. These two were the Shields case from Illinois and the Al- bert Gallatin case from Pennsylvania. | the committee asked Members of Holt if his age was a matter of general knowledge and debate during the cam- paign He presented a collection of newspaper clippings to show it was, and told the committee he referred to his age in all of his speeches.

(Copyrighh 1035.) as well as the national A. A. U. championships were at stake. Among the Capital favorites were Mike Lynch, 54 years old; Jerry Looney, Mike's protege and Melvin Leach. former 10-mile champion of the city. Leach is a Public Parks policeman.

Monteverde, presi- dent of the International Marathon Runners’ Association, was ideal, and hours 43 minutes 263 seconds es- tablished last year by Komonen would be beaten by several minutes. The struggle for team honors ap- peared to be principally between the United Shoe hinery and Monarch Clubs. The Machinists were the de- fending champions. The Monarchs won the team trophies in 1932 and 1933 and did not compete here last year due to a conflict with the Brit ish Empire games in London in which they figured prominently. Monteverde, 66, but hardy as a youngster, was the oldest man in the race. He is not competing for a prize, but running to indulge a hobby. The marathoners’ president traveled across the continent to take part in what he believed would be one of the great- est distance races ever held. He picked Washington for the annual convention of the International Mar- athon Runners’ Association. It will be held tonight at the Y. M. C. A. race headquarters. Manned by Emergency First-Aid Corp. members, 12 relief stations were strung the course. Including he predicted the course record of 2| the District chapter of the A. A. U., was to present the prizes. Excepting the championship trophy. the priges were to be presented at the Y. M. C. A. following a supper. Course Is Outlined. Approximately 16 miles of the course lay over the Mount Vernon Boulevard. Crossing Memorial Bridge the run- ners were to pass the polo field in Potomac Park and make the turn around Hains Point, emerging into Fourteenth street; travel north on Fourteenth street to Constitution ave- nue, east on Constitution avenue into Pennsylvania avenue; east on Penn- drive of Capitol Hill and to First and B streets southeast: north on First street to East Capitol, east on East Capitol to Seventh street north- east; north on Seventh street to B, west or B into Constitution avenue; | west on Constitution avenue into Pennsylvania avenue, west on Penn- sylvania avenue into the Ellipse and around the Ellipse to the Zero Mile- stone. ‘The course, according to the run- ners, probably is the finest, all things considered, in the country. The times that won here in 1932, 1933 and 1934 were slow compared with | most other marathons, but this has been attributed to the warm weather in which all three of those contests were held. Another hindrance to speed over The Star course has been Capi- tol Hill, which the runners catch after having covered about 23 miles.
