CORPORATONBLL HEARINCSOPENED Senator 0’Mahoney Presses for Passage of Measure for Licenses. BY JOHN H. CLINE. Confident that the Supreme Court's decision in the Wagner cases has dissipated doubts as to constitution- ality of his bill for Federal licensing of corporations. Senator O'Mahoney, Txmocrat, of Wyoming, prepared to- day to renew his drive for enactment of the measure. He will meet this afternoon with a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee to hear testimony from William Z. Ripley, former Harvard pro- fessor. The bill would require cor- porations doing an interstate business to obtain a Federal license, which would be withheld until the concerns complied with wage and hour laws and working standards for women and children. Depend on Court Hearings. Whether hearings on the licensing bill will continue throughout the week depends on the arrangements to be made by the Judiciary Committee for conducting its executive sessions on the Supreme Court bill. O'’Mahoney said his subcommittee might be so tied up with the executive sessions that further hearings on his own bill would have to be deferred “The Wagner act decisions removed the only arguments that have been made against the validity of my bill,” Senator O’'Mahoney declared. *Con- stitutional lawyers have agreed for years that it is within the power of Congress to create corporations. The Union Pacific Railroad began as a Federal corporation. “The only legal objection to the present bill was that the Supreme Court had held that manufacturing | was not commerce subject to regula- tion by Congress. This objection was eliminated when the court in deciding the Wagner cases ruled that manufac- turing activities, if they have a sub- stantial effect on the free flow of in- terstate commerce, are subject to such regulation.” The O'Mahoney bill would come un- der the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission, which would be in- creased from five to nine members. It restates the collective bargaining provisions of the Wagner act, which would remain under supervision of the Labor Relations Board, and prohibits labor by children under 16. Important Provisions. Most significant of the act'’s provisions is that: “Rates of pay of employes shall be increased and hours of work shall be reduced in accordance with gains in the profits and in the production effi-! ciency of industry earising from in- creased mechanization, improvement in technological methods, or from other causes, to the end that employes | shall have an equitable participation | in the value of the output of industry | and that employment and mass-pur- chasing power may keep pace with | the productive accomplishments of industry.” While this provision is stated in very general terms, it has been con- | strued as empowering the Federal Government to enforce minimum wage scales and maximum hour agree- ments, which cannot be done under the Wagner act The O'Mahoney bill also prohibits | dishonest or fraudulent trade prac- | tices, or unfair methods of competi- | tion. The bill already has been assailed by representatives of business groups and enthusiastically indorsed by or- ganized labor. In a statement issued before the! ‘Wagner decision, the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers branded the bill as “unsound in policy, invalid in law” and designed to re-establish “un- limited and unfettered” Federal con- trol over “individuals as well as every other form or method through which business may be done.” The association objected particularly to the fact the licensing provisions are | compulsory, not voluntary. licensing LOST.

C, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1937. Crown o_f St. Edward R (W (This is the third of a series of articles on symbolism and sidelights of the coronation ceremony.) BY THOMAS R. HENRY. HE crown of St. Edward is the empire. Edward the Confessor was great-grandson of Alfred the Great. As a man he led a singularly pure and austere life, which was the reason for his canonization as a saint a few years after his death. As a King he appears to have been singularly lucky. During his reign the Danes were expelled England, where their hold had become very tenuous. The heavy burden of taxation which they had imposed closing years of Edward's reign were notable for peace and prosperity, rare for that troubled age. It was the peace before a storm. Edward had been reared and educated in France. He was French in his tastes and sympathies and filled his court with French favorites. His daughter Matilda was married to Wil- liam, Duke of Normandy. When the King died the duke claimed the throne of England in her name. It was seized, however, by Edward's nephew, Harold. William invaded England. The unfortunate Harold was defeated and slain at Hastings, the conqueror imposed his will Saxon people, and England became, for a time, a vassal state to the Duchy of Normandy. Saxon Symbol Retained. Each of 4he successive Norman Kings was crowned with a crown which was assumed, for the purposes of the ceremony, to have been that worn by St. Edward. They desired to preserve the symbol of unbroken Succession from the Saxon Kings. Apparently great importance was at- tached to this symbolism. William himself decreed that the actual coro- nation should be a prerogative of the Archbishop of Canterbury, a Norman, who should have custody of the symbol itself. The Archbishop of York, who had an equal ecclesiastical status, was too far removed from French influence to be trusjed. Although himself a Norman, he was too close a neighbor to the Scotch and the Danes, both of whom had claimants to the throne. Some day, it was feared, he might connive with them. ‘If St. Edward’s crown were in his custody, what was to prevent him some day from placing it on the head of some Scotch or Scandinavian prince? Just what difference it would have made, with a Norman actually in possession of the governing power at Westminster, it is difficult to say. But that was a childish age which placed & great deal of stock in names and symbols. Crown Probably Remade. Nobody seriously claims that the actual crown of St. Edward remained intact from the Norman conquest to wealth, nearly six centuries. It prob- ably was remade many times, each new crown possibly containing some of the original material, although this is doubtful. All that remained the same, up to the time of the Great Rebellion, was the general form of the symbol. continuous tradition. Besides St. Edward's crown there tion shall be twenty thousand shares.” N.

It was the property of the King him- self, made according to his tastes. Sometimes it was inherited by the son who succeeded him, and worn during the next reign if it happened to fit. The Norman Kings seem to have worn such a headpiece almost every time they appeared in public. Compared with such a load on the cranium, the helmets worn by dough- boys in France must have been fairly comfortable. The symbolism associated with such crowns was rather shallow. There was no continuous tradition associ- ated with them. They might be com- pared with the stars on a general’s shoulder. They were worn in battle to designate the King as command- ing officer. After hunch-backed Rich- ard the Third was slain at Bosworth Field a private soldier reverently re- moved his crown and placed it on a hawthorne bush. There the victo- rious Duke of Lancaster found it and in some way rationalized that its pos- | session “legalized” the victory which he had won by skill at arms. Crowns Broken Up in 1649. With the establishment of the com- monwealth the crowns, with all the other regalia, of royalty were broken up and sold. In 1649 “it was ordered in Parliament that those gentlemen who were appointed by this House to have the custody of the regalia de- liver them over unto the trustees for the sale of the goods of the late King, who are to cause the same to be totally broken, and that they melt down all the gold and silver and sell the jewels to the best advantage of the commonwealth, and to take the like care of them that are in the tower.” With the restoration a committee was formed to restore the regalia for the coronation of Charles the Second and after due study issued instructions for the provision of “two Imperiall Crownes sett with pretious stones; the one to be called Saint Edwards Crowne, wherewith the King was to be crowned, and the other to be putt on after his coronation, before His Majes- W.C. & A.N.

By the Assoctated Press. President Roosevelt will push his four-year travel mileage well beyond the 100,000 mark during a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico on which he departs late tonight. He will go first by train to New Orleans, where on Thursday after- noon he will embark for a week or more of tarpon fishing off the Texas coast. The entire journey will cover more than 3,000 miles. He will keep in close touch with the Capital by wireless. Two fast Navy seaplanes, based at Galveston, Tex., will take mail to and from the U. S. S. Potomac, which the President will use as his sea home. Naval Vessels as Escort. Four naval vessels, with combined crews of 417 officers and men, will be in the fishing flotilla. ‘The new 1,850-ton destroyer Mof- fett will take the President from New Orleans to a rendezvous with the Po- tomac. The Moffett and the older destroyer, Decatur, will act as escorts in the gulf, while the destroyer Schenck, based on the coast, will maintain wireless contact. A motor trip from Biloxi to Gulfport, Miss., will break the train trip Thurs- day morning. The President will visit the old home of Jefferson Davis, presi- dent of the Confederacy, en route to Gulfport. Senator Harrison, Demo- crat, of Mississippi, will accompany Mr. Roosevelt as far as that city. The President will be making his first visit to Louisiana since he took office. He has been in virtually all the other 47 States. Because he is intent on starting to fish as soon as possible, he will tarry only an hour or two at New Orleans. Spillway to Be Visited. He will visit the Bonnet Carre spill- way, about 25 miles north of New Orleans, which carries off flood waters from the Mississippi to Lake Pont- chartrain, and possibly will view the Roosevelt Mall, part of a works progress parkway in the city. En route home, he will stop for a day at the Fort Worth, Tex., home of his son Elliott, who will be in the fishing party. ‘Temporary White House headquar- ters, with Secretary Marvin H. Mc- Intyre in charge, will be established at New Orleans until Friday night and then will be transferred to Galveston. tie’s retorne to Westminster Hall; also an orbe of gold with a crosse sett with pretious stones; a scepter with a crosse sett with pretious stones, called St. Edward's; a scepter with a dove sett with pretious stones; a long scepter or staffe of gold with a crosse uppon the toppe, and a pike at the footte of steele called St. Edward’s staff; a ring with a ruby paire of gold purres; a chalice and patten of gold: an ampull far the oyle and & spoon and two ingotts of gold.” Ordered in “Jewell House.” These were ordered kept in the “Jewell house in the Tower.” They were in the custody of a keeper whose pay was obtained by charging the pub- lic to see them—and shortly afterward one of the crowns was stolen. The thief was a certain Col. Blood, & dis- banded commonwealth veteran, who entered the Tower with a band of ruffians, overpowered the keeper and escaped. He soon was recaptured and the crown found on his person. Charles the Second ordered Blood brought before him. Expecting to be sent to the block, the colonel was so audacious that he not only escaped the fate intended for him, but was given a sub- stantial pension for the rest of his life. Blood told Charles the Second that he hated him and on one occasion had lain in wait to assassinate him, but that his conscience had prevented him from pulling the trigger. The merry monarch was convinced that such a conscience merited & high reward. NU-HAIR does GROW HAIR Abnormal falling of bair ar- rested in nearly every instance after 5 hours of treatment.

Representative Treadway suggested sites in the Soldiers’ Home Ground, in Southwest or Southeast Washington between the Navy Yard and the War College. Mrs. Helena Hill Weed of Norfolk, Conn., a writer, said that she had suggested to Senator Lonergan a site in the gas house district near the con- nection of Potomac Parkway 2nd Rock Creek Parkway on the highland back of the statue of William Jennings Bryan. Wolcott Clarke Waggaman asked that consideration be given to a site in Rock Creek Park west of the Con= necticut Avenue Bridge and below the Shoreham Hotel which he considered one of the most extraordinary loca= tions in the District. Olmstead Telegram Read. Others who spoke today included Miss James, who presented a telegram from Frederick Law Olmstead, the only surviving member of the McMil« lan Commission, formerly for many years a member of the Commission of Fine Arts and a director of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Commission, one of the most eminent landscape architects in the country. This telegram protested against the use of the Tidal Basin site as too cire cumscribed for the proposed memorial. Miss James also presented a letter from Horace M. Albright, former di= rector of the National Park Service and now president of the American Planning and Civic Association. Miss James insisted that her association does not want any recommendation of site and arrangements that has not been approved by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Chairman Keller read a letter from the Takoma Horicultural Club of 300 members signed by Mrs. Harry Freed- man protesting against the Tidal Basin site and destruction of the cherry trees. Mrs. Florence Jackson Stoddard, speaking for the Women's National Democratic Council, urged that some plan be adopted which would make the Jefferson Memorial an educational institution for adults where by lectures they would be given an opportunity to develop in accord- ance with the educational spirit of Jefferson. Hudnut Wire Presented. Julian E. Burla, representing the League of Progress in Architecture, presented a telegram from Dean Joseph Hudnut of the School of Ar- chitecture at Harvard, which recom- mended ridiculing the Jefferson Me= memorial Commission, and a letter from I. T. Freary of the Cleveland Museum of Arts, w he said, is a Jeffersonian auth ¥ protesting against the commission’s plans. Chairman Keller, when presenting Mr. Boylan as a witness, said the committee has the highest regard for him and for the commission and for the purposes of the commission, but have found a very decided opinion against the Tidal Basin site, Men School Teachers.

Cammerer has promised to bring with him the original L'Enfant plans | for Capital development and the sub- sequent McMillan Commission plans in 1901. This presentation will be made because Miss Marlene James, executive secretary of the American Planning and Civic Association, raised the issue directly that the memorial commission is not following the L'En- fant plans because at that time there was no Tidal Basin site and that area was all under water. Boylan, while explaining the work of his commission and its examina- tion of several sites previous to reach- ing a decision February 18 on the Tidal Basin site, spoke sarcastically regarding many of the objections which have been raised against the | commission’s decisions. He empha- sized that this has always been the fate of similar commissioners and that | in the course of time sentiment has | changed to be in favor of the me- morials. He called attention partic- ularly to the experiences of the Lin- coln Memorial Commission. Other Sites Proposed. Several other sites for the proposed memorial were suggested at the hear- ing today.
