CONGRESS TO FACE
NIGH COURT ISSUES
Showdown Between New
Deal and Tribunal Seen
Inevitable.
St the Associated Prssa.
The forthcoming Congress Is widely
expected to go down In history either
a* «n adept stepper within the Con
stitution as It stands, or the pro
poser of an amendment to enlarge
Federal powers.
In the political campaign. Presi
dent Roosevelt and his leaders re
dedlcated themselves to N. R. A. and
A. A. A. objectives, and promised
"action.” After running on a record
which showed a 8-to-J score against
the administration in the Supreme
Court, they have Interpreted the over
whelming victory as a mandate to
carry on.
Barring changes on the court due
to deaths, many here - believe some
sort of showdown inevitable between
the New Deal and the constitutional
views written In the N. R. A., Guffey
and A. A. A. decisions. Demands since
the election by organised labor and
farmers' spokesmen who supported
Mr. Roosevelt recall the powers once
exercised by those since outlawed
agencies.
witn tne capital taxing on tne
bustle and suspense that heralds the
convening of a new Congress, in
terest in the constitutional question
is universal. The way arriving leg
islators talk indicates that the budget
ary, neutrality and other debates may
all be conducted before the broad
backdrop of differences over funda
mentals.
Questions Before LegMaton.
Just where does the line of Federal
authority stop and “State's rights"
begin? Shall we define ‘‘general wel
fare" for once and all? Exactly what
does "due process of law" mean?
So the questions run as legislators
intent on regulation of wage* and
hour* and control of crop production
restudy Supreme Court decisions
bearing on those problems. In one
respect the atmosphere is reminiscent
of March, 1B33, when Congress and
the country looked so unquestioningly
to the President for leadership. To
day, again, the lead is for him to
take. His close advisers say they don’t
know what he intends, but quickly
add it will not be retreat.
The situation is as new to Amer
ican history in some respecis as was
the abdication of a King for love in
English history. True, Supreme Court
decisions have precipitated historic
arguments before. The Dred Scott
decision of 1857, holding Congress
powerless to ban slavery in the Ter
ritories, was castigated in the Lin
coln platform of 1860.
Amendment is Hinted.
Never before was there an election,
however, in which the candidates
pledged to seek a constitutional
amendment "if necessary." Unless
questions of wage and hour stand
ards and "unfair business practices"
can be answered effectively otherwise,
the Democratic platform called for
an amendment looking to joint Fed
eral and State jurisdiction.
Mr. Roosevelt already has sought
to encourage more State legislation
on wages and hours, unemployment
insurance and old-age protection. He
promised only recently to supplement
the State action when the problems
assume an interstate character.
In the general opinion he will rec
ommend attempts at voluntary co
operation and further legislative ex
ploration of constitutional boundaries
before broaching an amendment. He
is not believed by advisers to sympa
thise with proposals to curtail the
power of the Supreme Court, or to
enlarge its membership. But if re
newed. efforts to meet the problems
at which N. R. A. and A. A. A. were
directed should fall before constitu
tional barriers, then the amendment
question would be faced.

Dealer in War Supplies Finds
Neutrality Laws Hurt Business
European Nations Now Reject Second
Hand Materials, Outfitter of
Armies Says•
By (he Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December SI.—With
revolution rocking Spain, wars threat
lng to break out all over the globe,
this should be a great period in the
history of Francis Bannerman A
Sons, outfitters of small nations for
war since 1865.
But Francis Bannerman, whose
grandfather founded the business of
buying up discarded war stocks and
selling them again at bargain prices,
says times aren’t good at all.
“Those crazy neutrality laws," he
explains.
"Nowadays,” he says, "European na
tions don’t seem to want second-hand
stuff. Even though It’s as good as
the material they buy first hand.
They want the newest things they can
get their hands on.”
No stranger industry exists in all
New York than the Bannerman busi
ness, a sort of glorified second-hand
war supply service where you can buy
anything from a museum piece out
of the battle of the aixteenth century
to auch quantities as the 10,000 sad
dles, 100,000 rifles, 100,000 haversacks,
250.000 uniforms, 150,000 gun slings
and 20,000,000 cartridges offered the
Japanese Government straight out of
stock during the Russo-Japanese war.
Island Bought in 1900.
So great were the Bannerman war
stocks at one time that the family,
In 1800, bought Polopel Island, in
the Hudson River just below West
Point, and in a specially-constructed
arsenal there stored immense aup
pliee of guns and explosives. Even
today no visitors are allowed on the
island.
Most of the Bannerman stock In
trade Is purchased from the United
States Government at auction, a busi
ness that started when the first Fran
cis Bannerman, after returning from
the Civil War, started buying up cap
tured Confederate war material and
equipment piled up after the dis
banding of the Northern armies.
Bannerman relates that the firm
at one time or another bought at auc
tion and disposed of to museums auch
pieces as the dog sled on which Ad
miral Peary mushed to the North
Pole, the binnacle of the old frigate
Science Takes Job
Calming Indians
In Curse of Death
V. S. Clears Medicine
Man of Blame > in
Sheep Fatalities.
By the Associated Press.
YUBA crrY, Ariz., December 21.
—Science, methodical and thorough,
battled yesterday to quiet the terror
a Navajo Indian medicine man's
magic brought to his fellow tribes
! men.
The medicine man. Yellow Hair,
told Indian shepherds if they did not
move their flocks to new ranges he
would "make magic and their sheep
would die.” The Indians refused.
Next day 33 sheep were found
dead.
Government officials told the
panic-stricken Indians that grease
wood killed their flocks, explained if
sheep eat sufficient salt, greasewood
will not harm them and to prove it
grazed "salted’’ sheep on the range
with no ill effects.
But the Indians remained skep
tical. Finally laboratories at Gallup,
N. Mex., made a special investigation
of the sheep deaths and assured the
shepherds their flocks died from eat
ing greasewood, not from the curse
of Yellow Hair.
