HIGH TRIBUNAL HEARS ARGUMENTS Turns to Cases Justices Agreed to Consider Last Spring. Having disposed of nearly 300 ap- plications for review of lower court decisions, the Supreme Court justices today began hearfng arguments in cases they agreed to consider last Spring. The court yesterday acted on 295 appeals, agreeing to review six con- troversies involving New Deal legisla- fjon and declining to pass on three others. It agreed to review 57 cases altogether, declined to pass on 224 and refused 14 petitions for reconsid- eration of decisions made last term. Although refusing to reconsider its decision last year, invalidating the New York minimum wage law, Lhel court agreed to review a lower court ruling that a similar statute in the Btate of Washington is constitutional. The court also refused to review several local cases, the principal ones involving prison sentences imposed. on Representative John H. Hoeppel of California and his son, Charles J. Hoeppel, for conspiring to sell a West Point appointment, and an attack on the validity of the married women's clause of the 1932 economy act. New Deal Lsgislation. New Deal legislation involved in yesterday's rulings included the Wag- ner labor law, the public utility hold- ing company act, the silver profits tax and the revised Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium law. New Deal litigation the justices con- sented to hear argued involved: ‘Whether the Government can hold up rulings by lower courts on validity of the public utility holding company act until it obtains a final decision by the Supreme Court on the legislation im an action it brought against the Electric Bond and Share Co. The Court of Appeals for the District ruled sgainst the Government. A 50 per cent tax on silver profits in connection with the silver purchase act. The Court of Claims held the tax unconstitutional in a case field by Percy K. Hudson of New York. Provisions of the railway labor act authorizing collective bargaining be- tween representatives of employes and the railroads. The act, amended in 1834, was held constitutional by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in a dispute between the Virginian Railway and some of its employes. The 1934 legislation authorizing the | President to embargo sale of arms to Bolivia and Paraguay for their Chaco war. e Southern New York Fed- eral District Court held the statute was an invalid delegation of legisla- | tive power to the Executive. Prison-Made Goods. ‘The 1935 Ashurst-Sumners act for- bidding transportation of prison-made goods into States that bar their sale and requiring that such products be | labeled as convict-manufactured. The | Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the act in a case brought by the Ken- tucky Whip & Collar Co., which man- | ufactures leather goods at the Eddy- ville, Ky., State penitentiary. A dispute between the Holyoke (Mass) Water Power Co. and the | American Writing Paper Co. of Mas- | sachusetts over whether remtal of water power rights in the Connecticut River should be paid the former in gold or its equivalent in devalued cur- | rency. The power company said the | lease so specified. | New Deal litigation the court re- | Bused to review at this time involve The Wagner labor relations act, constitutionality of which was chal- lenged by the Bradley Lumber Co. of | Arkansas. Six other cases attacking the law have been appealed to the | high court and it may agree—perhaps | next Monday—to review one or more of them, The revised Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium act, challenged by the Phoenix Joint Stock Land Bank of Kansas City.

Hoeppel and his son had appealed from their conviction in District Court here and the imposition of jail sen- tences of from four months to a year. The tribunal refused to interfere with a decision of the local Court of Ap-| peals affirming the conviction and | sentences. The attack on the economy act was lost her position with the Bureau of Internal Revenue because her hus- band was employed by the Federal Trade Commission. Asking the cqurt to order her reinstatement, she said: “Little argument would seem neces- economy act relative to husbands and wives in Government employ was never intended to repeal the require- ment (of the civil service act) that efficiency ratings should be taken into consideration in effecting dismissals.” The lower courts refused to rein- state her, and this action was upheld by the Supreme Court. ‘The Supreme Court also refused to interfere in the following local cases: An unsuccessful attempt by Nor- man T. Whitaker, convicted as.“The Fox” in the Lindbergh baby ransom negotiations between Gaston Means and Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean. An appeal by William Owens from his conviction in District Court for the slaying of his 14-year-old sweet- heart, An appeal by Harry Wardman from a lower court decision that he must pay a New York firm one-third of the $22,437 he was found to have overpaid on his 1921 income tax. The lower court found Wardman had contracted with the firm to pay them one-third of the amount recovered. A protest by the Potomac Electric Power Co. against condemnation pro- ceedings which forced it to move & power substation to make room for the new Interior Department Building. In another case of importance here, the court, however, granted s request by the District Government for & re- view of the local Court of Appeals de- cision that a jury trial must be granted in oertain cases involving the viola- tions of municipal ordinances. The question arose when the lower court reversed the conviction of Ethel Clawans for selling unused parts of a railroad ticket without a license. The appellate tribunal held she should have been given & jury trial. In its appeal, the District contended 300 persons were charged with violating the license law in 1935, and that jury trials would “seriously impede the effective administration of this and UT OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF A our late associate, the of- i1l be closed -m;:- and & WER' &:o z fuc SPECIAL, EETURN-TOAD RETES end part loads to all points -mnn L 000 ll mnvu:: ll:e.n‘ uvnu 1160 AT.

Cogger appealed, again stressing the alleged | unconstitutionality of the law, but the appellate court upheld the action of the lower tribunal and refused to pass on the constitutionality of the measure. In support of his claim that the tax | legislation is unconstitutional, Cogger told the Supreme Court: The statute exempts all members of Congress. Under it if the richest | man in the world should be elected Senator he could move to the District and not be subject to a personal prop- erty tax during his term of office. He could immediately upon his election abandon .his residence in the State from ‘which he came and thus would escape personal property tax entirely. Moreover, a resident of the District appointed to the cabinet is entirely exempt from tax during his term of office. “What reasonable ground is there for exempting members of Congress and cabinet officers which is not equal- ly applicable to hundreds of thousands of others who are temporarily in the District in the Government service? ‘The statute does not except justices of of this court, but Congress has ne power to tax your honors.” Pointing out that members of Con- gress enjoy the same privileges and benefits as District taxpayers, Cogger added: “Members of Congress' are public servants and not public masters. They are not and they cannot legislate themselves into & privileged class en- titled to special privileges or to en- joy the benefits of class legislation enacted by themselves. They are agents of ‘the people. The power to legislate is givep them in trust for the people and it is a fundamental principle of equity that a trustee may not use his position or exercise his trust for his own advantage. Such legisiation also violates the funda- mental principle of equality before the pr—— Skin Troubles Come from Constipation Constipation is the cause of -ouwnplmonmhlu Pou- sons from the waste picked up by the blood nd carried to all parts of the body, o8 ly the skin. o one needs to have a sal- iplexion.

BY the Assoclated Press. RICHMOND, Va., Octoher 13.—Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presi- dential nomine, csrried his party's campaign into the “solid South” last night to met both prolonged applause and the firsi heckling of his 16-State tour. Knox spoke in a meeiing sponscred by the Virginip State Republican organization in Richmond’s Masonic Mosque. He drew cheers and whistles ‘when, in territory traditionaily Demo- cratic, he appealed to Virginians to “do- your duty regardless of political affiliations.” He was repeatedly applauded for shots at the Roosevelt administration, and found a noisy response when he charged it “is not Democratic.” Then 83 Knox concluded, in a final salute of applause, a man in the lalcony arose to call out a question. Inquires About Hoover Support. “Did you suppor Hoover in 19282" he asked, Immediately the (rowd st up a hubbub of disapproval. of “who are you? He's a W. P. A. worker. Shut up! Shut up!” But Knox, who had turned from the speaking desk, came kack upstage to face the questioner. “This s free America,” said.Knox. “Let me hear his question.” The shouts from the audieace ccn- tinued. Knox cupped his hand to his ear and waved for quiet. The heckler repated the question. “Did you support iioover?” “I did,” said Knox. By then the heckiing at the heckler Wwas 50 tumultuous only a few neard the final question, almost smcthered in the noise. It was “why?” The din drowned out any further ques- tions or replies. Knox told his first Southern audi- ence that Gov. Alf M. Landon, Presi- dent Roosevelt’s Republican rival, .would offer “a program of simplicity, economy and certainty truly Jeffer- sonian.” This was greeted with ap- plause, as was Knox's assertion that “the re-election of Franklin Roose- velt may easily destroy the Demo- cratic party.” Knox made this in charging the administration with “a mad attempt to overthrow the exist- ing institutions of American life.” Received With Applause. In some instances the name of President Roosevelt received applause, administration, which was itself ap- plauded. The response of the Re- publican’s Richmond audience to one sentence was as follows: “Some of the features of this blun- dering muddle of waste and error are simply funny, as the potato act (ap- plause and laughter) or Mr. Tug- well's Resettlement Administration (applause and laughter) or President Roosevelt's (applause) theory that reducing cost of manufacture and production injures the ecountry, a theory that makes any struggling bus- iness man, trying to reduce costs, froth at the mouth” (applause). Knox called the Roosevelt admin- istration leaders “alien masqueraders,” | destroying the: Democratic party’s principles. Then he paraded the names of nationally known Democrats he said had “protested the adminis- tration's policies.” SPEAKS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
