A2 %% m ADVISORY COLRT (PINON DEBATED Proposal for Advance Find- ings on Legality Brings Wide Discussion. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Why shouldn't the Supreme Court determine whether laws are or are not constitutional before they are put into effect, and thus save a great deal of economic loss and damage? It s this question, repeatedly asked In recent months, which no doubt gave rise to the latest propggal by Gov. Hoffman of New Jersey, Republic- an, that the Constitution should be amended o as to require the Supreme | Court to render advisory opinions as | to the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. Apparently the New Jersey Gov- ernor sought a way out of the dilemma, and, to him, as to other people, the| simplest way appeared to be to get advisory opinions in advance. Opinion of Former Jurist. Once 1 propounded the same ques- tion informally to a distinguished | jurist, who at that time was on the| Supreme Court. He answered my query thus: “When I was at the bar, I was - - frequently asked by my clients to give | an opinion in advance as to whether‘ & certain step was or was not lawful. | Invariably, when the step had been‘ beken and a lawsuit developed, the very combination of circumstances which chused the lawsuit had not been fore- séen in my memorandum of advice.” ! To put it another way, the Supreme Qourt itself has always decided actual cases, believing that the circumstances In each Instance deserved examination by the courts, so that a petitioner would know whether he had a cause for complaint. But again and again the Supreme Court refuses to review ehses decided by the lower courts be- use the principle has alreadv been gstablished or & similar set of cir- #imstances has already been passed fupon. s« Prominent Advisory Opinion. $ Probably the most comprehensive edvisory opinion ever rendered by the Blupreme Court of the United States s handed down on May 27 last in e famou$ Schechter case invali- @ating the N. R. A. In that case were steted fundamental principles o plainly that for Congress to go ahead §id pass laws in conflict with those principles, as it did, in the last ses- #f8h, is, of course, & technically legal right, but a moral evasion. Hence, 3¢ might _well be asked what extra value or use would Gov. Hoffman’s amendment be if, after a decision by the BSupreme Court, the executive branch of the Government, for in- stance, issued regulations which now- 4days have the force of law and if those regulations disregarded the de- ¢islons of the Supreme Court? Much criticism was directed at President Roosevelt after the N. R. A. decision because, in spite of its broad pronouncement, he insisted on push- ing through Congress various meas- ures, notwithstanding the grave doubts that existed among competent con- stitutional lawyers that the proposed statutes were valid under the Consti- tution. Discussed Before Bar Association. The most interesting suggestion that has yet been made with reference 1o the best way to handle the prob- lem of advisory opinions was pre- sented before the American Bar Asso- clation at its last annual meeting at Los Angeles when James M. Beck, former solicitor general and a noted authority on constitutional law, rec- ommended that the Senate and House Judiciary Committees should select a commission of 10 outstanding lawyers who are authorities on constitutional law and consider them an advisory council. Other committees of Congress, as, for example, the House Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Com- mittees, do not hesitate to en- gage experts in matters of taxa- tion, so it would be in line with prec- :y:lent to have an advisory commis- sion of distinguished members of the bar who are familiar with constitu- tional law. But would Congress pay any more attention to such advice than it does today to the thousands of briefs filed by attorneys of note on pending leg- lation? Perhaps Congress would be influenced by a public opinion that attached weight to the findings of an edvisory committee or council. And if such a council were divided and there seemed to be considerable weight in favor of legislating in the direction sought by Congress, there might be less criticism over such a course than in the attempt by Con- gress to enact laws that every well- informed lawyer knows are plainly unconstitutional and that every thoughtful observer of political trends knows are passed with the full ex- pectation that the Supreme Court will, in due time, invalidate them, but not', in point of time, before certain political advantages have accrued to the sponsors of the legislation, (Copyright. 1985.) * PHYSICIANS GIVE UP HOPES FOR GREELY Arctic Explorer Slowly Slipping, Says Official at Walter Reed Hospital, No hope was held out by physicians today for recovery of Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, noted Arctic explorer and soldier, who is desper- ately ill at Walter Reed Hospital. At the hospital, an offieial said Gen. Greely was “slowly slipping” and it would be a matter of only a few days —possibly hours—before the end came. Gen. Greely is 91 years old, and his age is against him in the battle he is waging to ward off artery, heart and other complications. More than half a dentury ago, Greely, then a lieutenant, was wager- jog an equally grim battle against death—on a bleak ice barrier at Cape Sabine, in the Arctic. He and six of his men won the fight, with the help of a rescue ship, but 18 others suc- cumbed to starvation and cold. WARMER WEATHER DUE Partly Cloudy, With Prospects of Rain Témorrow.

EW ORLEANS.—The average man on the street here be- lieves that Huey Long’s as- sasin drew the short straw. No one will ever be able to convince him that anything short of a murder conspiracy was behind the death of the Louisiana dictator. This version is probably the one which will be handed down to pos- terity, although the bést-informed non-partisans, and even some of the men in the Long outfit, de not believe it is true. What has happened on the in- side here is that the Long leaders have taken up the conspiracy the- ory and are determined to perpetu= ate it. Some of them may Delieve it is true, but all recognize the po- litical value in it. They are not overlooking the opportunity of es- tablishing a martyr cause to hold their movement together. For that reason, the Long suthori- ties now condueting a private investi- gation of the assassination will come out shortly with what they will call further evidence to promote their theory. Their evidence will have to be very strong to convince any one not already convinced. 25 The reason the theory is not ac- | cepted by those in the know is that |all the evidence points & different way. Most of Huey's talk about assassination conspiracies was pri- marily political poppycock. He told at least two friends that he carried his bodyguards for publicity effect and really did not believe any ome wanted to kill him. He was worried | about getting his face. marred in a | fight, but not about his life. Probably a thousand persons in Lovisiana (and at least a hundred more in Washington) have said at one time or another that Huey was going to be shot, or should be. Some even volunteered conmversa- tionally for the job, but no one ever did anything. It may be hard for an outsider to Huey's show. The Assassin’s Type. Weiss, does not fit into the conspiracy picture. He never paid much attention to politics. He was a home-loving man, an expert on a particular throat ailment, and Huey, politically, was far away. In fact, no political expert here had ever heard of Dr. Weiss during all the historic Long battles in the State. ’ It is true that his father-in-law, District Judge B. P. Pavy, a popu= lar man, was having his troubles with the Long outfit. Judge Pavy controlled a district which Long could not get. At that time, Long was sponsoring a dill to combine this judicial district with another in hopes of getting rid of the judge. Dr. Weiss knew all about that, but it is hard for most impartial investi- gators to belfeve that any man would go out to kill solely because his father«in-law's job was endangered, at least not a man of Dr. Welss's attainments. Also, most political experts doubt that Long could have conquered the judge by combining the districts. Pavy was possibly popular enough to have won both against Long. Actions Are Convincing. Most convincing of all are the actions of Dr. Weiss on the day of the association.

From this set of facts, and some others, the conclusion has been ac- cepted by trustworthy authorities that Dr. Weiss had a deeper personal reason for his deed than any which have been stated, that this reason was non-political, that it was n-t entirely new to him, that his de-‘1on was made suddenly after he reccived the telephone call.
