Behind the Scenes
' In Washington
BY RODNEY DUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
• WASHINGTON — Side issues in
the supreme court fight have tended
to bury the fact that the struggle is
based on a difference in judicial
philosophies among the nine jus-
tices.
• Roosevelt seeks fewer Justices who
construe the Constitution as Jus-
tices Sutherland, Butler, Van De-
vanter, McReynolds, Roberts, and
sometimes Hughes, construe it, and
more justices who interpret it as
•randeLs, Stone, Cardozo — and,
again sometimes Hughes — interp-
ret it.
Conservatives, and many in the
legal profession, insist the court has
merely carried out the mandate of
fce Constitution in its opinions.
Roosevelt contends that personal °*le mu-v “K . T
convictions, theories or prejudices AAA decision. This involved the fed-
duty : to lay the article of the Con- j
stitution whioh is Invoked beside i ,
the statute which is challenged, and j j
to decide whether the latter squares ; ^
with the former.”
Roosevelt, as if in answer to this,
said in his message to Congress on
Jan. 6, that means must be found
to adapt "Judicial interpretation to
the actual present needs of the lar-
gest progressive democracy in the
modem world.”
“We do not ask the courts to call
non-existent powers into being," he
said, “but we have a right to expect
that conceded powers on those legi-
timately Implied shall be made ef-
fective instruments for the common
good. The processes of our democ-
racy must not be imperiled by the
denial of essential powers of free
government.”
Roosevelt takes the position that
the Constitution needs no amend-
ing, provided Justices will interpret
it liberally.

Whether the chief executive will

The conservative position was tak-

the 6 to 3 adverse opinion in the

propriately challenged in the courts

eral program to control agricultural
production, in which compliance was
obtained by offering benefit pay-
ments, the proceeds of which were
derived from processing taxes.
The majority held that production
was a local matter, that the law in-
vaded state rights. It held the regu-
lation was not voluntary, but com-
pulsory. It held that such legislation
was unconstitutional, because the
Constitution did not expressly grant
Congress the power to regulate ag-
ricultural production.

The violent split within the court
was evidenced by the dissenting op-
inion read by Justice Stone on be-
half of himself, Brandeis and Car-
dozo.
“A tortured construction of the
Constitution,” Stone called the ma-
jority opinion. He added that it cur-
tailed the power of Congress' “by
judicial flat,” and that its argument
“hardly rises to the dignity of argu-
ment.” Furthermore, it was "con-
tradictory and destructive of the
power to appropriate for the general
welfare, and is incapable of practical
application . . .The limitation now
sanctioned must lead to absurd con- __ .
sequences ... While unconstitutional j ““Hon of such a building, if and

Tn a recent independent survey, an over-
whelming majority of lawyers, doctors, lecturers,
scientists, etc., who said they smoked cigarettes, ex-
pressed their personal preference for a light smoke.
Senator Reynolds’ statement verifies the wis-
dom of this preference and so do leading artists of
radio, stage, screen and opera, whose voices are
their fortunes, and who choose Luckies, a light
smoke. You, too, can have the throat protection
of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh
irritants removed by the exclusive process ’’It’s
Toasted”. Luckies are gentle on your throat.
