it is in such periods of great economic
stress as the present that law-mak-.
ing executives and commissions usual-
ly come into prominence.
In recent years the Supreme Court
has worked out a procedure for the
judicial review of findings, determina-
tions, orders, and other executive-
made laws of law-making executives
and commissions, Mr. Montague de-
clared. He inferred that it is through
this check that executive law-making
under the constitution will be con-
trolled.
In describing the unlimited use of
executive law-making as a fascist
tendency, Mr. Montague pointed out
that in the United States there are
"three strongly resistant forces to
either intentional or unconscious dic-
tatorship."
The first he described as "the force
of plain, common sense, natural jus-
tice"; the second as "the force of ju-
dicial resistance backed by specific
constitutional mandate," the third as
"the force of a readily practicable
method for implementing these com-
mon sense and judicial and consti-
tutional safeguards, which the Su-
preme Court has evolved in a pioneer-
ing, statesmanlike spirit."
Mr. Montague declared that this
power and facility which the court
had developed in the interpretation of
law, and by which the practices of
executive law-making were necessar-
ily bound, "will be rated by future
generations as one of the most glor-
ious achievements in Anglo-Saxon
jurisprudence."
In the final Case Club arguments
held in the afternoon the decision of
a panel of State Supreme Court jus-
tices was awarded to Earle A. Kight-
linger and Frank R. Barnako. In giv-
ing the decision, Justice Louis H. Fead
declared that the other finalists, Pat-
rick J. Quealy and Donald L. Quaife,
had had to support the more difficult
side of the argument.
Television, long a dream of every
harum-scarum inventor and day
dreamer, has become from the en-
gineering standpoint a practical real-
ity, hampered only by obstacles of
economic subsidization from becoming
available to the average home-owner,
according to Prof. Lewis N. Holland of
the electrical engineering department.
The chief difficulty now being faced
by the industry arises from the range
of the wave lengths used to transmit
the "miniature moving pictures,"
which are essentially what is implied
by television, Professor Holland stat-
ed.
Television uses extremely short
wave lengths, about five meters, and
the range of these waves does not
exceed 100 miles. It thus will require
a tremendous outlay of equipment
and money to construct a nation-wide
network for television transmission.
England, not having this problem,
due to its relatively small size in com-
parison with the United States, is en-
gaged at the present time in the con-
struction of a television network, Pro-
fessor Holland pointed out.
It will take at least five years for
such a development to take place on a
wide-scale here in the United States,
Professor Holland stated, but in the
next decade I expect Lo see television
assume the mass production scale
now held by radio. An ordinary tele-
vision set probably would not cost
much more than one hundred fifty or
two hundred dollars, and would thus

MADISON, Wis., April 25. t'P)- A
state senate investigating committee
met tonight to hear what Chester Da-

leged immoral conduct on the part of
faculty members of the University's

Snell, whose dismissal was voted
by the University regents March 12
and officially announced yesterday,
was under subpoena to appear before
the committee and did not seek the
