Seniors Wi 1 Gather Today For Swingout Students To Form Lines At 4 P.M.; March Will Begin HalfHour Later Tradition Is Revived For One Year Only Permanent Abolition May Follow Unless' Control By Students Succeeds (School Positions on Page 6) Swingout, one of Michigan's most venerable traditions, will be observed by the senior class today. The lines of graduating students, clad for the first time in caps and gowns, will be formed at 4 p.m. and the march will begin at 4:30 p.m. Allen D. McCombs, '35, chairman of the student Swingout committee, em- phasized last night that the revival of the tradition was granted by the Sen- ate Committee on Student Affairs with the definite understanding that it was only for one year. It is assumed, McCombs declared, that the tradition will be permanently abolished if the experiment in stu- dent control of Swingout is unsuc- cessful. If, as the weather man indicated last night, rain falls this afternoon, the entire ceremony will be called off. In case of threatening weather the parade will be held but the Senior Sing will be eliminated. The marchers will file from the medallion in front of the library to the corner of State Street and North University, proceed to South Uni- versity, turn down to East University, march again onto North University, reenter the campus between the Nat- ural Science and Chemistry Build- ings, a d reassemble in front of the library for the Senior Sing.

Law School Head Claims Two Weak Spots Are Hit By Court Ruling Declares Recovery Legvislation Voided Prof. Durfee Sees Hope For Salvaging Parts Of Frazier-Lemke Act By FRED WARNER NEAL The Supreme Court's decision in- validating the National Recovery ad- ministration hit the two weakest spots in the New Deal structure, Dean Hen- ry' M. Bates of the Law School de- clared last night. Prof. Edgar N. Durfee, Law School authority on bankruptcy legislation also explained the ruling which de- clared the Frazier-Lemke act un- constitutional, asserting that it em- phasized the restriction to the Fed- eral government's power to deal with bankruptcy. Dean Bates analyzed the high court's decision for The Daily before he was able to obtain a copy of the complete decision. "So far as I am able todetermine," he said, "the de- cision dealt with the two features of the NRA always thought to be weak: namely, the unlimited delegation of powers to the President and the ap- plication of the codes to intra-state commerce." NRA Not Definite He indicated that the court evi- dently decided that the NRA provi- sions delegating legislative power to the executive in formulating codes did not lay down definite enough re- strictions and limitations. The ninconstitutional aspects of the NRA are both direct and indirect, Dean Bates said. One is the illegal delegation of powers and the other the attempts of authorities to carry out its provisions. He implied that the court took direct issue with the code authorities' claim that in order to keep inter-state commerce in a prosperous condition, regulation of intra-state commerce bearing on it is necessary. He declared that this ruling of the highest tribunal probably "knocks, out" the entire National Recovery Administration. That is, however, he said, because section three, which was specifically declared unconsti- tutional, is one of the most important of the provisions, and not, as in the Railway Retirement Act decision, merely because one section of the act was held invalid. Unanimity Not Surprising In the Railway Act decision, the Supreme Court held that the entire measure was unconstitutional because one provision was incompatible with the highest law, declaring that the provisions were too closely bound to be separated. Dean Bates said he was not sur- prised at the unanimous decision of the court "because Justices Brandeis, Cardoza, and McReynolds especially have always been firm in insisting that Federal power be limited to in- terstate commerce." As an example of this, he cited thecourt ruling hold- ing the child labor law unconstitu- tional. "The naive supposition that there is a five to four vote on all im- portant cases is ridiculous," he said. The Frazier-Lemkeuact, as ex- plained by Professor Durfee provided for a five-year moratorium on farm mortgage debts. The farmer, un- able to pay his debts, was to get an appraisal of his property, and pay a very low installment on it over a five year period, cleaning up the balance at the end of the period. The act, an amendment to present bankruptcy laws, was in the nature of emergency legislation and was to last only until 1938. Its outstanding feature, he stated, was that it granted relief to the debtor regardless of whether or not the creditor consented. Durfee Sees Salvage Hope Professor Durfee, in analyzing the decision invalidating the measure, saw a hope of salvaging parts of it. "It is possible," he said "that the court may have only meant the in- stallment payments unconstitutional." This reasoning would have been based on a violation of the "due process" clause, because the installments were so low," he explained. Towever he nointed to the conclud- Johnson Expected Decision; Declares Test Case 'Rotten' NEWARK, N. J., May 27-(/P)-Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA admin- istrator, commenting on the Supreme Court decision holding NRA uncon- stitutional, told the Associated Press today, "I expected this decision," but added: "I still believe it is possible to write a Constitutional act preserving the principles of NRA." "If this is not possible," he con- tinued, "three-fourths of the New Deal is out the window because the same principles govern the AAA, the Wagner Labor Bill and all of NRA except Title 2 relating to public works." Johnson was en route by train to New York from Washington to fill two speaking engagements. With his secretary, Miss Frances Robinson, he was correcting a print- ed copy of his testimony last Friday before the House Ways and Means Commitee. He said that in that testi- mony he had "predicted" such a deci- sion and quoted from the record in support. He described the testcase -one involving the selecting of chickens in New York City -as "a rotten one." "The real philosophy of the Re- covery Act" he said "was not brought out in the argument before the Su- preme Court." Capt. Bartlett Seeks .Students For Arctic Sail Hobbs Announces Chance For Two Persons To Go On Expedition An opportunity for two students to accompany Capt. R. A. Bartlett, fa- mous explorer, on a cruising expedi- tion this summer to Arctic regions was announced yesterday by Professor- Emeritus William H. Hobbs. The cruise will include Newfound- land, Labrador, Greenland and Baffin Ellesmere Land and will last from approximately June 20 to Sept. 1, Pro- fessor Hobbs said. It will cost each man $1,000. All persons interested are requested by Professor Hobbs to get in touch with him as soon as pos- sible. Cruising will be done under explor- ing conditions, he explained, the men being expected to help raise, reef and lower sail and take part in all deck work except going aloft. There will be some opportunity to go inland over the glaciers, making botanical, zoological and geological' work' pos- sible, he explained. Professor Hobbs pointed out that those accompanying the expedition will be able to see walrus, seal, nar- whale, whale, polar bear, caribou, and other animals, and called atten- tion to the opportunity of inspecting Eskimo life and the whaling indus- try.

Acting a few hours after the high court held unanimously that the President had been given too much "unfettered authority" in proclaiming codes, and that code provisions went too far in regulations affecting interstate commerce, the Administration took two preliminary steps. Donald Richberg, NRA administrator, after a conference with President Roosevelt, issued a plea that employers con- tinue to operate under their codes until some new structure could be reared. In the same statement Richberg added: "This decision of the court makes codes of fair competition unen. forceable as a matter of law; and in deference to that ruling all methods of compulsory enforcement of the codes will be immediately suspended. "This will not affect the enforcement of any contractural obliga- tions which may have 'arisen by agreement of the parties requiring no --sanction of a Federal authority."

Swingout was originally -smore than half a century ago -held in a chapel. At the time of its birth chapel services were observed every morning from 9:15 until 9:30 a.m. in Uni- versity Hall. These services were con- ducted by the president of the Uni- versity, and were also the occasion for general announcements. The chapel was divided into four anation with +he freshmen necumvine dents, were replaced by weekly vesper services, and along with this change Swingout took on a new form. Shortly before the vesper service began, all the seniors gathered and paraded about the campus before en- tering University Hall for the tradi- tional shifting of sections and presi- dential address. Finally the weekly vesper services died out, too. But Swingout remained as popular as ever, again in a new form. The ceremony evolved into simply the parade around the campus followed by the address, now in Hill Auditorium, and it was in this form that the custom wans nreerve until
