« JUSTICES TO HEAR POWERLOAN CAGE Right of Government to Fur- nish Money for Project Studied. -Reaching a question that will have a vital affect on the activities of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Su- preme Court today began hearing ar- | guments on the right of the Govern. ment to furnish money for pubflcly owned hydro-electric projects. The case before the court was brought by the Duke Power Co., which | has contested the Government's right | to make a $2,852,000 loan and ‘rnm.( to Greenwood County, S. C., for ll public hydro-electric project at Buz- zard Roost. | Newton D. Baker, formér Secretary | of War, appeared to argue for the power company, while Solicitor cm-‘ eral Stanley Reed and Jerome Frank, | special assistant to the Attorney Gen- | eral, represented the Government. The Circuit Court of Appeals at Charlotte, N. C., upheld the legality of | the loan and grant. Arguments Heard. After deciding some 20 cases yes- terday and agreeing to review three | new attacks on the legality of the | Wagner labor relations act, the Su- preme Court heard arguments grow- ing out of the New Deal’s public hold- ing company law. The labor relations appeals involved cases lost by the Government in the lower courts against the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. of Pittsburgh, the Fruehauf Trailer Co. of Cantor, | Ohio, and the Friedman-Harry Marks Washington Wayside Tales Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. EVIDENCE. LARENCE L. WILLIAMS, ac- sistant superintendent of postal inspectors, is still re. covering from a case of jit- ters resulting from recent inspection of evidence submitted by assistants. The evidence, consisting of miscella- neous fragments of wood, paper, wire and batteries, was sent to the Post Office Department in a large card- board box. It was cofected by inspec- tors investigating the bomb-slaying last July of Curry Thomas, wealthy Virginia farmer, at Cape Charles on Eastern Shore. As Williams took out the score or more envelopes and read their labels, he gave a start when he read “Detonator.” (Just in case you forget, detonators are highly explo- sive) There were three of them, all “alive,” had sent their boss. Mr. Williams lost no time in hav- ing the explosives removed to a place | of safety and gave instructions that hereafter dangerous evidence be for- Warded to him with more care. * x % x APPROACH.

Among the more important decisions Yesterday was one refusing the extra- dition to France of the three Nei- decker brothers—B.

C. Marketing Pact. The formal order enjoining Secre- tary of Agriculture Waliace from en- forcing the milk marketing agree- ment for the Washington area was signed today by Justice Oscar R.| Luhring of District Court. ! Justice Luhring filed a written opinion two weeks ago stating he con- sidered the agreement unconstitu- tional, since it was based on the invalidated agricultural adjustment act. Identical orders were signed today In the two suits challenging the | Aagreement. One was brought by 11 independent Maryland dairy farmers | and the other by a Virginia farmer. Both orders were preliminary in Junctions restraining Wallace and his agents from enforcing the agreement in so far as the plaintiffs are con- cerned. Government attorneys have stated, however, that Justice Lubring's de- cision renders any activity under the marketing agreement impossible. By terms of the milk marketing act, all milk received by distributors was classified and minimum prices were fixed to be paid to the producers. A tax on the distributors was imposed to finance the administration of the agreement. Justice Luhring held that the agree- ment invalidated existing contracts and could not be supported In law, EX-ASSOCIATES GUESTS AT BANQUET FOR.DAVIS Farewell Banquet Will Be Held for Roosevelt High Principal on November 24.

They fired questions at each other while the elevator went to the fourth floor, where he got off. “Well, I must see you again: be sure to come to my office,” said Miss Miller as he got off the elevator. “Sorry,” he calied back as the door was closing. “I am leaving town in 30 minutes.” “That meeting.” commented Miss Miller, “could hardly be called old- home week.” * x x % GONE.

As a corollary of budget-trimming, President Roosevelt is reported ready to tackle the problem of governmental reorganization as soon as he has dis- posed of the immediate budget job. Preliminary studies looking toward consolidation of emergency agencies, elimination of others and general co- ordination of executive functions in the interest of efMiciency and economy are being made by three distinct Fed- eral groups and by an independent body, the Brookings Institution. It may be necessary first of all to “co-ordinate the co-ordinators” be- fore a presidentially approved and generally acceptable reorganization pian can be adopted. Although the President during his campaign laid lttle stress on the task of consolidating bureaus of the Gov- ernment, those familiar with the re- organization movement claim the Chief Executive is deeply concerned with the problem and has indicated a determination to recommend drastic ‘chnncen in some parts of the govern- mental set-up. May Be Included in Message. It is expected the President will in clude in his message to Congress a discussion of reorganization proposals and that later he will send to the | | Capitol definite recommendations for legislative authority under which cer- | tain mergers may be effected and cer- tain overlapping functions of other agencies remedied. ‘The President will depend for ml-1 vice in this respect largely on his own | Committee on Reorganization, headed by Louis Brownlow, former District Commissioner and now director of the | Public Administration Clearing House, Chicago. Other members of this com- G__STAR, ! burg, Pa., and the Smith Horton Co., | re-election by Benjamin Jarrett, mittee are Luther H. Gulick, director | of the Institute of Public Adminis- tration, New York, and Prof. Charles E. Merriam of the University of Chicago. | Brownlow and Gulick also are ad- | | visers to the Senate Committee on | governmental reorganization, of which | Senator Byrd of Virginia is chairman. Senator Byrd has just returned to lhe4 | Capitol and will resume personal di- | rection of his committee's studies, | which have been proceeding quietly. | | On Senator Byrd's committee are | Senators Robinson, Democrat, of Ark- |ansas; O'Mahoney, Democrat, of | | Wyoming; McNary, Republican, of Oregon, and Townsend. Republican, of ! Delaware. Other advisers to the com- mittee include Willlam Tudor Gardi- ner, former Governor of Maine; Har- | ‘uld Willis Dodds, president of Prince- |ton University, and Prof. John D. Cllrk of the University of Denver's conomics department. ‘ Other Studies Conducted. Simultaneously, a House committee under Representative Buchanan, Dem- ocrat, of Texas is conducting studies similar to those of the Byrd Com- | mittee. | The Brookings Institution is con- ducting & wide survey of Government agencies with a view to classifying | their functions and determining the | extent of duplication in Federal ac- tivities. The report of this institution | will be examined closely by the gov- | | ernmental co-ordinator:, it is said. | | The institution is paying special at- | tention to the 40 or more agencies created under the Roosevelt adminis- tration for emergency work In some executive departments the work of consolidating and co-ordin- ating bureaus already is under way. Acting under administrative author- ity, the Treasury Department, for example, has brouhgt about a co-or- dination of all investigative activi- ties within the department. Heads of the various investigative groups, | such as the Secret Bervice, Internal Revenue Intelligence Unit, Alcohol Tax Unit, Customs Inspection Serv- ice. Coast Guard and Narcotics Bu- reau, have adopted the plan of hold- ing a weekly “huddie” at the Treas- ury, with a view to preventing dupli- | cation of effort and exchanging aid in Treasury law enforcement work. | A bill, which failed at the last ses- | sion of Congress, to merge most of | these bureaus into the “Treasury Agency Service,” is to be reintroduced in January, it is understood. .

WASHINGTON, W.P.A“COERCION" PROBE_ CONTINUED Senate Campaign Commit- tee Tells Glavis to Get Further Data. BY the Associated Press. Further investigation of charges of “coercion and intimidation” of Penn- sylvania Works Progress Administra- tion employes was ordered yesterday by the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee in its first post-election meeting. After a four-hour session, Chair- man Lonergan said the committee, on motion of Senator Austin, Republican, of Vermont had instructed Louis R. Glavis, chief investigator, to study several afMdavits charging coercion. The committee refused repeated Re- publican demands for hearings on the charges prior to election. Lonergan said the committee also directed Glavis to investigate charges by Senator Guffey, Democrat, of Penn- sylvania that 221 emplqyes of the fashionable Duquesne Club of Pitts- burgh had been threatened with dis- missal unless they voted the Republi- can ticket. Guffey Presents Charge. Guffey presented the charge in per- son at the opening of the committee session and, at the same time, accused the Castanea Paper Co. of Johnson- Warren, Pa., wholesale grocers, of coercing and intimidating their work ers, but these charges were “dis- missed” by the committee. The latter two are located in the 20th congressional district of Penn- sylvania, where Representative Dris- coll, a Democrat, was defeated for Re- publican. Pennsylvania Democratic officials already have announced they will contest Jarrett’s election on the grounds public utilities employed “lav~ ish expenditures” of money and co- ercive tactics to defeat Driscoll. At the last session of Congress. Driscoll | had been sent to members of Con- gress opposing the Wheeler-Rayburn utilities holding company bill. Public Hearings Demanded. With reference to the W P. A. in- | vestigation, Lonergan said the com- | mittee would make no decision on Re- | publican demands for public hearings | on the charges in Pennsylvania until Likewise, he added, the committee would with- hold action on charges of voter coer- cion against Pennsylvania indus- trialists, Concerning allegations of abuse of the free mailing privilege by members | | of Congress, Lonergan said the com- | mittee had decided against pressing | such charges, but added that Walter | Myers, the committee counsel, had | been requested to make & comprehen- sive study of all laws and decisions | covering the use of the franking priv- ilege in political campaigns. Asserting the Post Office Depart- ment had expressed “some doubts” | concerning the legality of the practice in some instances, Lonergan said a special report on the subject would be | submitted to the Senate “for .umlnce in future elections.” MIDDIES TO RECEIVE 'FAMED RACING CRAFT By the Associated Press.

Dr. Brissenden cautioned | the board first of all that an unusual | dnree of public interest involved in lhe newspaper industry makes it par- ticularly compelling that high stand- ards of integrity be maintained. Preceding Dr. Brissenden on the stand, David J.

Broun later related how Davis, at N. R.
