Judges Charles H. Moorman, Xeno- phon Hicks and Florence Allen heard the arguments in the court here.

Judge Allen, dissenting, wrote in part, “I cannot agree that the con- demnation prayed for is unauthorized under the United States Constitu- tion. * * * “The problem of slum elimination throughout the Nation lies within a domain which the individual States cannot reach and over which the Congress alone has power. This is an argument for—not against—the legal- ity of this enactment so far as it constitutes an exercise of the taxing power to provide for the general welfare.” “There is nothing in the act under which the apoellant is proceeding,” Judges Moorman and Hicks objected, “to serve as a guide to the President in exercising the power conferred upon him—no requirement that his actions be conditioned upon firding of facts made by himself or the ad- ministrator, no standards suvplied with reference (> low-cost houses and slum clearance preiects Nothing is said as to what shail be deamed a slum or a low-cost hcuse or nousing project.

EMPEROR TO RESIST RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION Rome to Remain Cool to Efforts of Other Powers to Inter- vene, Europe Hears. By the Associated Press. ROME, July 15—With war between Italy and Ethiopia increasingly re- garded as inevitable, Premier Benito Mussolini today ordered the mobiliza- tion of another regular army division and the creation of an additional di- vision of Blackshirt militia. 11 Duce also ordered the immediate construction of 10 new submarines. An official communique, which an- nounced the new preparations for pos- sible hostilities in East Africa. said “the accelerated rhythm of military preparation by Ethiopia forces us to proceed with additional measures of | military character.” Today’s orders brings the number | of regular army divisions destined for | East Africa to five. Five Blackshirs divisions also have been created. This | means Italy will have at least 250,000 men for service against Ethiopia, should war begin. The communique said I1 Duce had called out specialists and technical experts of the classes of 1909, 1910 and 1912, and summoned new quotas of | pilots and specialists for the air force. | Confirms Rumors. The communique, issued through the ministry of propaganda, confirmed rumors of further mobilization orders current here for the last six weeks.

A new ! regular army division, to be known as | Sila II, will be created to take its place in the national defense forces. | Gen. de Michelis will command the new unit. | The new Blackshirt division will be called the “Ist of February”—the | date of the founding of the Fascist Militia. It will be commanded by Gen. Attilio Teruzzi, long Mussolini’s | general commander of the Blackshirt | division. Earlier the opinion was expressed that war was certain after Emperor Haile Selassie's statement that Ethio- | pia would not accept an Italian zone of influence or construction of a rail- road through Ethiopia. Authoritative sources pointed out ' that Italy wants much more than these two concessions—namely.a total | protectorate—but that if the Ethopian | emperor refuses small concession, he | would also reject the larger one. Earlier Protest Recalled. Emperor Haile Selassie’s statement, made Saturday to the New York Times, | aroused recollections of his protest to the League of Nations over the Anglo- Italian treaty of 1925, granting Italy a zone of influence in Ethopia and the right to construct a railroad from Somaliland to Addis Ababa. The authoritative newspaper La Stampa of Turin, often chose to echo the government viewpoint, summed up the Italian position on possible com- promises with Ethopia thus: “We recognize the absurdity of | making most-honeyed maneuvers to ! conduct the emperor of Addis Ababa into circles of interest to compromise. “With Selassie and his feudal lords | the tender means of persuasion are | condemned to failure by the unfaith- fulness which is the constant and traditional form of those barbarian chieftains.” Authoritative sources asserted that any further efforts by outsiders to moderate Italy's policy toward Ethi- opia were sure to meet with coolness from the government of Mussolini. Aggression Continues. They were convinced that the ag- gressive policies toward East Africa remained intact, despite Ethiopia's appeal to the United States for invo- cation of the Briand-Kellogg pact and British moves toward further League jurisdiction. ‘The pronouncement against war by Secretary of State Cordell Hull of the United States was received with re- serve. The controlled Fascist press was cautioned not to lead the public into too great an expectancy of Amer- ican friendliness for the Italian cause. Italy is not indifferent to her future status with the League of Nations, authoritative sources said, but feels that France and England should agree to Ethiopia's expulsion from Geneva, or at least a modification of the African kingdom’s independence. Joseph A. C. Avenol, secretary gen- eral of the League of Nations, said at London the Council will meet July 25 to discuss the Italo-Ethiopian dis- pute, unless arbitration is introducea in the meantime. —_— UNION PACT PLANNED AS N.

Some members of the House Ways {and Means Committee disclpsed they had such an idea in mind for two reasons: First, to show that the measure really was designed to help the budget situation, and second, to make sure that the money was used for that purpose. The usual procedure is for tax bills simply to raise money which go into the Treasury's “general fund.” It can be taken from that fund and used for any purpose. Revenue selcom has been earmarked for particular purposes. One occasion was inclusion in the national indus- trial recovery act of taxes to finance the $2,200,000 000 public works pro- gram it authorized.
