ROOSEVELT POWER HELD UNLIMITED Executive and Legislative Branches Consolidated Un- der His Administration. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Today being Constitution day, it is natural that the articles and clauses of the historic charter by which America is governed should, in the light of recent events, undergo scru- tiny by those who cherish its great usefulness to our social and economic life. Unfortunately, the discussion has become partisan. Republican speak- ers have emphasized the acts of the New Deal as in violation of the Con- stitution. This gives disinterested criticism an atmosphere of political combat, when, as a matter of fact, judicial questions should not become in any way involved in politics, But the occasion for inqyiry as to the origin of the powers being exer- cised by the President nowadays is not the less important because it has regrettably, though inevitably, be- come a part of the political scene. Several queries project themselves to- day. Where, for example, is there 8 “breathing spell” clause in the Con- stitution? Welcomed “Breathing Spell.” Just a few days ago, the Chief Executive announced to the country that his “legislative program” had reached “substantial completion.” Business men, glad of any promise of a let-up in the era of encroachment by Government upon private rights, looked upon this assurance with mixed feelings. They welcomed the promise of a “breathing spell.” But quite generally overlooked was the fact that so changed has be- come the exercise of executive and legislative power in the United States under the Roosevelt administration that, because the executive and leg- islative branches have become, for all practical purposes, consolidated into one, it is from the White House that the announcement of the “sub- stantial completion” of a legislative program comes nowadays. ‘When Mr. Roosevelt speaks of “sub- | stantial completion,” he implies, of course, that he will not ask for fur- | ther powers from Congress. But, it will be asked, what further powers can the Chief Executive possibly need? Not many. Has Many Powers, The President, by abdication of the | legislative body, called Congress, al- ready has the following powers today that have been delegated to him: 1. More than $4,800,000,000 has been appropriated for the use of the executive in his own discretion. Con- gress surrendered its privilege of specifying the uses to which the money should be put, as has been cus- tomary for more than 145 years. 2. The President has the power to order farmers to plant only those quantities of wheat, cotton, corn, po- tatoes and other crops that he sees fit, and to punish those wino disobey his decrees. 3. The President can appoint the members of a board responsible only to him and such board is to regulate the hours of work, rates of wages, quantity of output and other condi- tions for the conduct of coal mining | and distribution. 4. The President has the power to appoint & board, responsible to him, which shall determine employer and employe relations in all businesses and industries “affecting interstate com- merce.” Controls Communication. 5. The President, through a Federal Communications Commission, controls the radio and other forms of com- munication. 6. The President, through the Se- curities Commission, controls the electric power and light and gas in- dustries and may order his commis- sioners to eliminate or retain such corporations as he and his associates in their discretion think are “nec- cessary” or “economically integrated.” 7. The President, through the Fed- eral Reserve Board, whose members he appoints, can control the flow of | credit g7« its operations throughout the cowltry. +8. The President may proclaim changes in the tariff within certain upper and lower schedules. 9. The President, through a Fed- efal co-ordinator, controls the opera- tions of railroads of the United | Btates. “10. The President, through s com- mission of his own choosing, controls the uses of capital in industry. The cbOmmission approves or disnppmvesl registration statements at will, and, without these licenses, new capital | cannot be obtained by industry. There are, of course, many other delegations of power. Some of those mentioned above are plainly uncon- stitutional in themselves—that is to say, even the Congress does not pos- sess the powers it has tried to delegate | t¢ another branch of the Government. But nowhere in the Constitution is there any clause permitting Congress | to delegate its lawful powers to the | Executive. Supreme Court Stand. ‘The Supreme Court has held that, Wwhere the Congress turns over to an executive bureau or commission the task of administering a law, the in- structions must be so explicitly worded that citizens may clearly know the limits. But where Congress delegates to a bureau or executive cgmmission the job of carrying into effect a legis- lative “objective,” this is too vague, according to the Supreme Court. The making by bureaus of so-called “regu- lations” which have the effect and force of law is really a delegation of the legislative, or law-making, power itself, and is, therefore, a violation of the Constitution. The Supreme Court has upheld delegation of power for revision of a tariff, but has insisted that this is merely a matter of calculation of a rate within the limits of a formula mathematically set by Congress itself. The court has recognized that admin- istrative bodies must have certain dis- cretion to enforce laws, but has never- theless maintained that there is a difference betwen efficient administra- tion and usurping the powers of legis- lation itself. Thus, the code-making bodies of the N. R. A. had such wide discretion that they issued rules the violation of which was a crime, just as if Con- gress itself had passed & law to that effect. It may be asked, what is the dif- ference between government by com- mission today and the same thing as practiced under preceding adminis- trations.

Secretary Ickes said today extensive revision must be made in thousands of applications for public works proj- ects if they are to qualify under the revised works program. He added at his press conference that more than half of the 10,600 ap- plications on file fail to comply with a yardstick laid down by President Roosevelt. The President has said all contracts must be let by December 15 and proj- ects finished in a year, that they must be in regions where workers can be drawn from relief rolls and the average pay per worker must not exceed $850 annually. Ickes sald he did not believe the December 15 deadline was intended by the President to be retroactive, with reference to projects for which allot- ments already had been made. Might Jump Over Board. Another deadline set for today, when the final meeting of the Works Allotment Board was scheduled, was scrapped by the President’s revision of the $4,800,000,000 program, Ickes said. He added the board probably would attempt to have one final meeting be- fore the President leaves on his West- ern trip, but that if there was not time Mr. Roosevelt might approve projects directly without their going through the formality of board ap- proval. Ickes sald his understanding now was that P. W. A. would receive $200,+ 000,000 from the remaining $1,250,« 000,000 of work-relief funds, plus $100,000,000 for housing, which would be added to the $127,000,000 already set aside for public works develop= ments. The Secretary said that size of projects probably would not handicap their chances of consideration in the revised program and that the question “simply goes to per man cost.” Some exceptions might be made to meet specific “situations,” he added. Power Projects at Stake. Asked about the status of munici- pal power projects under the altered set-up, the Secretary said, “We want to do as well as we can by them, but | they will be considered on the same | basis as other projects, in the light| of the unemployment situation, per man year cost and length of time of QUEZON ELECTION.

But Mr. Roosevelt, by his appoint- ments, gets around the basic purpose of the majority and minority view- point idea by finding persons mevi- ously affiliated with the opposite po- litical party but sharing at the mo- ment his economic and social philos- ophy. ‘Thus, practically every Pederal | commisison today is dominated by | appointees of Mr. Roosevelt who are partisans of his own philosophy and trends toward state socialism or the | centralization of power in the Fed- eral Government.

On this Constitution day, even the New Dealers themselves might reflect on the manner in which, some day, these same powers may be utilized for another purpose, perhaps not so bene- ficent, when the “wicked Republi- cans” or a President of dictatorial in- clination belonging to another politi- cal party happens to get into the tions and now has reached its climax under the Democrats.

Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, persistent critic of the Roosevelt administration, and Representative Wright Patman of Texas, congres- sicnal bonus champion, were among the speakers on a “Constitution day” program, along with Maj. Gen. Smed- ley D. Butler, retired commander of the United States Marine Corps. The veterans, all of whom have served the Stars and Stripes abroad, heard war described today as a “mad international racket for profit” and pledged their efforts to world peace at the opening session of the thirty- sixth annual encampment. ‘The delegates cheered lustily as their | commander in chief, James E.

Comdr. Van Zandt and Admiral Takeshita both made stirring appeals for closer co-operation between the veterans of Japan and the United States to cement good will between the nations and to “give the world a lesson in the basic principle of international peace.” The veterans wildly acclaimed Sen- ator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Munitions Committee, when he branded war an “international rackets,” and asked to “let us be done with the kind of na- tianal defense that is conceived to richly reward a few manufacturers and salesmen while heavily burdening the many.” “War and preparation for it” sald Senator Nye, “have become mad inter- national rackets for profit, rackets. of such magnitude as challenge civiliza- tion if it would save itself.

P. A. Workers to Strike for Union Wages. NEW YORK, September 17 (#).— Seventy union men protesting against the Government's security wage scale were arrested today for mass picketing at a Federal Works rrogress Aamin- istration project. About 150 men were at work on a playground and recreation center project when pickets arrived bearing placards urging workers not to ac- cept security wages, but to “work for union wages or starve.” Building and contracting workers’ unions have been fighting the security wage scales since the inauguration of the W. P. A. program in the city. The unions contend that W. P. A. wages, ranging around $90 a month for skilled workers, will depress wages in general.

DICKENS' KIN SEES SIGHTS OF CAPITAL Disappointed Somewhat on Learning Famed Hotel Is Out of Business. BY JOHN J. DALY. Twins, Inseparable For Nearly 60 Years, Meet Death Together By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, September 17.— Willlam and George Buellow, twins, went through 59 years of life together, dressing alike, eat- ing allke, working at the same jobs. Last night they met death together. The brothers were walking along a road in Middle- burg Heights when an auto- “Really, now! I should say the| town has changed considerably since my grandfather visited here. As a matter of fact, I don't believe there was much to Washintgon in those days. Was there?” | The question poised on the tongue of Henry Charles Dickens, grandson of the immortal Charles Dickens, who spent four hours in Washington to- | day. While the White House was the first attraction for the latter-day Dickens, what he wanted to see most of all was the old Metropolitan Hotel. Told it was now a relic of the past, about to be torn down, the Londoner remarked: “A pity. We try to pre- serve our old landmarks.” Described Politiclans of "S8. *Twas the old Metropolitan Hotel that drew a fine descriptive phrase from Cbharles Dickens, a bit of Eng- lish that brought down upon his im- | aginative head all the vindictive vitu- peration of the vestrymen In this | country, who denounced the English novelist for what he said about our American politicians: “Uncouth gentlemen, who wear high boots, sit in hotel windows with their feet dangling over the ledges, and spit tobacco juice on the sidewalks.” Those days are gone forever—and Hal Dickens this morning found Washington rather a beautiful city. From 1868, when Charles Dickens made his memorable visit to Wash- ington, until 1935, when his youngest grandson made his first appearance on | the scene, many. things have hap- pened. “I imagine grandfather would hardly know the place.” Mr. Dickens remarked, “especially since the Metro- politan Hotel has gone out of busi- ness.” No Comment on Plumbing. No sooner had Mr. Dickens stretched his 6-foot frame on & comfortable couch in the Mayflower Hotel than one of the “gentlemen of the press,” as he calls them, wanted to know what the visitor thought of American plumbing. “Must we go into that?” he chuc- kled. Mr. Dickens’ charming young daugh- ter, Monica—in her 20s—remarked ‘hat one of the modern writers re- ently wrote: “Art cannot live beside 3 tiled bath, inspiration is stifled by steam heat and love flies out the win- | dow of a room equipped with a tele- phone.” | After the White House visit, Thomas Brahany, who was local host to the | visitors, drove Mr. Dickens and his | jaughter down Pennsylvania avenue Jast the old hotel. | Returns to New York.

Discouraged both by postal auther: | ities and by lack of takers of his ex- pensive titles, John Pierre Reinach today was reported to be planning to sail back to Paris. He was back in the Mayflower Hotel after spending the week end at Ni- agara Falls. He had ceased sending out letters to prospective United States nobility offering titles as fol- lows: Duke, $1,000,000; marquis $700,000; count, $500.000; baron. $200,000. He wasn't answering his phone. In these form letters, he had set September 24 for “the ceremony of the ennobling and of the granting of titles,” but the hotel management said it was their understanding he soon would return to France. .
