SEVEN DECISIONS DUE TOMORROW Supreme Court Also Ex- pected to Announce Fu- ture Reviews. B the Associated Press. An effort to determine the consti- tutionality of the New York unemploy- ment insurance act and rulings on two New Deal controversies constituted the principal business before the Su- preme Court yesterday at its regular Saturday afternoon conference. The meeting was preparatory to a public session tomorrow at which a maximum of seven decisions may be delivered, and announcement made as to whether 25 cases appealed from lower courts will be reviewed. Cases considered at yesterday's conference will not be decided until later. Arguments also will be heard this week on three more disputes growing out of recently enacted legislation. They involve the presidential embargo on shipment of arms to Bolivia and Paraguay for their Chaco War, the Ashurst-Sumners act to label prison- made goods, and the 50 per cent tax imposed on profits made just before the silver purchase act becamePeffec- tive. Commodity Exchange Challenge. A third challenge of the constitu- tionality of the 1936 law broadening the regulation of commodity ex- changes was filed yesterday by the Kansas City Board of Trade and a number of its members. The legisla- tion previously had been questxoned‘ by members of the Chicago Board of | Trade and the Chicago Mercantile | Exchange. In all three cases the Federal Dis- trict Courts dismissed the attacks. The litigants asked the Supreme | Court to grant a review without wait- ing for rulings by the Circuit Courts. Such requests rarely are approved. The New Deal cases before the jus- | tices yesterday afternoon affected P.; | W. A. loans and grants for publicly | owned hydroelectric plants and whether the Government can stop trial in lower courts of litigation chal- lenging validity of the public utility holding company act until a final de- cision is obtained in a test case it has brought against the Electric Bond & | 8Share Co. New York Job Ruling. | These cases and the one involving | the New York unemployment insur- | ance measure, which taxes employers | for the benefit of those out of work, | were argued during the last week. This | was the first conference the justices had held to discuss what their deci- sions would be. Sometimes more than one conference is necessary before an sgreement is reached Another dispute before the justices | | centered about an injunction granted | the Associated Press to restrain Radio | Station KVOS of Bellingham, Wash,, | from broadcasting the press associae | tion's news until 18 hours after pub- lication. Decisions on the cases argued last week and those to be debated this | week are possible on December 7, but | may be deferred until later.

Canary Whistles Song Crooning Bird Does “Yankee Doodle” But Shies at Photcgraphers. Petesthe canary that sings “Yankee Doodle,” grows moody at the sight of the photographer. He learned the lively tune —Star Staff Photo. from his owner, E. M. Jameson. M. JAMESON, 1237 W street southeast, has a canary that whistles “Yankee Doodle"— E0 honestly. It's a trick he learned by himself and performed yesterday morning for reporters—a little coy at first about so much company, but, at length, u“ if reluctant to lose an audience on| the breaking | verge of impatience, forth into a lively refrain that was unmistakable. He got as far as the part where the words say, “Yankee Doodle, keep it up,” and then sort of lost himself, but it was a good show. The reporters and Jameson put on a good show, too, trying to inspire the little crooner; but their efforts to win a song were as nothing compared to for a good photograph, Encouraged by Audience. First, there was a mute chorus of “Sing, birdie, sing,” which didn’t seem to help much, so Jameson turned on the radio. “Goody, Goody” and “Star Dust” left Pete cold. Then Jameson by way of suggestion. . Pete began to chirp, but he wasn't singing familiar tunes; not even “I'se a Muggin'.” The combined forces of this im- ‘promptu program induced Pete to a vocal rendition, everybody had almost forgotten him. But when the camera was set up he grew stubborn Nothing moved the tempermental artist to open his mouth for a photo. Jameson, a Navy Yard employe who Taises canaries as a hobby, has another bird who knows “Yankee Doodle,” he said, but the latter, being on the sick list, isn't singing anything just now. Learned Tune From Owner. Both canaries—of the white Hartz Mountain variety—learned the tune from their owner, who for several months has been whistling a few bars of the old-time air as he worked about their cages, more to soothe them than anything else, he declared. Their first signs of unusual musical ability appeared last week, and, since, Jameson’s hopes are beginning to re- volve ahout a vaudeville career, if MODEL 650 X *105: WITH AERIAL and Foreign .
