Washington Off The Record By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON - Whatever happens to the Guf- fey-Snyder coal bill, President Roosevelt's re- quest that it be shoved through regardless of constitutional doubts, "however reasonable," clear- ly indicates a definite administration purpose to seek a Supreme Court showdown at the earliest possible moment all along the New Deal reform line. Special reasons made the Guffey bill situation that upon which this policy crystallized. As Mr. Roosevelt pointed out, the bill is a product of "em- ployers and employes working cooperatively." It is not a Roosevelt brain-trust issue. More than that, however, the action the President urges, doubtful as may be the final fate of the bill, presumably would avert a coal strike for months. 1,000 DIPFEAING OPINIONS ET IT IS JUST as obvious that the same con- stitutional doubts that attach to the Guffey bill attach also to the labor disputes bill, the social- security act, and the utility holding company act as well as to the Tennessee valley project and now even to the agricultural processing tax system. On any of these, no doubt, Mr. Roosevelt could find as he has found as to the Buffey bill, "not ten but a thousand differing legal opinions." Of any of them he could say, as he said of the Guffey bill: "A decision by the Supreme Court ... would be helpful as indicating, with increasing clarity, the constitutional limits within which this govern- ments must operate." Ever since the NRA decision it has been clear that the October term of the court may be a crucial period in national history. What happens then to purely depression emergency measures, still due for final constitutional tests and on their way to the court, would be enough to reshape largely the political picture now presented. LETTER IMPLIES POLICY IN THE NORMAL legal course, it is improbable that the acts of this session of Congress could reach the high court for review during the October term. Only by a definite administration policy of expediting them, short circuiting the normal pro- cess, could that come about. On that basis, it appears likely that a series of Supreme Court decisions defining limitations of Federal authority not only under the commerce clause but as to seeking sociological results via the tax power is to be expected next winter. By JOHN SELBY "MAGICAL CITY; INTIMATE SKETCHES OF NEW YORK," by Vernon Howe Bailey, with text by Arthur Bartlett Maurice; (Scribners). rfHERE has been a plethora of picture books on New York. recently. Most of them are full of photographs, and many of the photographs ex- hibit a tendency toward oddness. Familiar scenes are shot from unfamiliar angles; one sees the Brooklyn bridge from the eye of an amoeba (if an amoeba has an eye), and the Empire State build- ing leans farther from the perpendicular than the tower of Pisa, because it was shot from the back yard of a leather shop underneath. Which is all very well if one wants a "kick" but not much good if one wants to see New York as it looks to one not equipped with telephoto lenses for eyes, and a rotogravure press with which to record his impressions. For a year or two Vernon Howe Bailey has been furnishing the New York Sun a drawing a day, all of New York scenes, and all drawn in reason- able perspective. Many of these have been ex- tremely good, and few really dull. Now a large number of the better ones have been collected in a book called "Magical City," and Arthur Bartlett Maurice has written brief descriptions for each of the drawings. It is a treasure for the New Yorker who really loves his city, for the stranger who wants to re- member New York, and for those who just like looking at pictures. Mr. Bailey's taste is singularly catholic; Fraunces' Tavern shares space with an uptown subway station, and the famous and beau- tiful home for Irish immigrant girls on Battery park is hard by a gorgeous view of the interior of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. Which is all very nice. There is a further dif- ference between "Magical City" and the usual New York picture book. It is that as an artist, Mr. Bailey has been able, legitimately, to focus his "reader's" eye on what it should see. By eliminating, or softening, the inevitable distrac- tions, he has given the book both life and space.

On Being Wet Dear Mr. Editor: I see that familiar old summer sport, the campus recreation of "Dodge!.the Sprinkler, or I Didn't, I'm Soaked" is with us again. The daily watering of the campus green by the B and G boys may have its mixed benefits but as for me I'd rather see the grass brown or have the watering done at night. Of course some may get a vicarious pleasure and even some heat relief from the sightly stream, but I don't. Just today, with the heat (must I say humidity) at its worst I was walking along faithfully perus- ing that delectable bit of mid-summer reading, "Decline of the West," in fact so oblivious to all worldly care that I completely neglected to time my passage by the circulating spray. As a result I have decided to make a polo shirt and tennis trunks like Iw The Fourth Year Of RFC THE RECONSTRUCTION Finance Corporation, legally created by the President's signature on Jan. 23, 1932, is now almost three and a half years old. Dedicated to a good Samaritan career, it has had a fairly exciting life. True, its lines have not fallen exactly in the pleasant places conceived by its sponsor. Mr. Hoover, but then events always have had an impish genius for scrambling "the best-laid plans of mice and men." When he signed the bill, Mr. Hoover explained that "its purpose is to stop deflation in agriculture and industry . . . It is not created," he asserted, "for the aid of big industries or big banks. Such institutions are amply able to take care of them- selves." But today, in the fourth year of RFC, the Federal government is a stockholder in 33 of the country's 100 giant banks. It is also a partner in 6,400 of the 14,400 smaller banks. Such is the report of the Chicago Tribune, which has com- pleted a second investigation of the corporation's activities. The Tribune finds that the "banks are slowly buying back their independence"; that is, they are paying off the government's loans, as revealed by the fact that "whereas the RFC held stock in 39 of the 100 largest banks on March 31, 1934, it now holds stock in only 33." The gov- ernment's investment in the smaller banks is placed at one billion dollars. Meantime, the "big industries," which Mr. Hoo- ver thought were so "amply able to take care of themselves," have found the government to be "the shadow of a great rock in a weary land." The railroads have borrowed nobly from RFC, though not so gallantly as they would have liked to do. The Tribune has not calculated the total of the government's railroad loans, but just as this cor- poration has made Uncle Sam our biggest banker, so it has made him our biggest railroad operator, or investor. There were those who feared, at its birth, that the RFC was not going to be merely a big brother to the little fellows in distress, as Mr. Hoover fondly foresaw. There were those who felt that, when the government set itself up as a money lender, saying, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden," that the invitation would be en- thusiastically accepted - by the great and the small, the powerful and the weak, the rich and the poor, the quick and the dead. The Post-Dis- patch was among the number to suspect that here was an adventure in socialism, launched by an ad- ministration and lauded by a constituency that looked with trembling and loathing on anything wearing a Socialist tag. But that is what the RFC was, and is. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Europe Ahead In Television EUROPEAN COUNTRIES are forging ahead of the United States in television. Great Britain has officially begun a definite program, operated through the government-controlled British Broad- casting Corporation. Dictator Adolf Hitler is building a modern station in Berlin and will take his messages to the people in person within a few months. In Italy, Marconi is experimenting with a new kind of wave which can be sent for long distances- thus overcoming one of television's main stumbling-blocks. -Review of Reviews.

Some of the wildest slapstick comedy in months is all you'll find in "The Nitwits," and you'll have to wait until the end for that. Intended as a spook comedy, the mystery serves only as a stooge for the comedy and makes the first half of the picture pretty slow. The Black Widow Spider, an unknown menace, murders the head of a song-publishing concern, although the corpse had engaged a private de- tective to guard him after threatening notes. New blackmail notes come and finally Wheeler and Woolsey with their "truth machine," a group of Negro crap-shooters, the Spider (easily iden- tified) and his gang, and a force of policemen are running wild through an office building. Various ones dress up as skeletons, drop flower pots on each others' heads, and throw tennis balls in people's mouths until the murderer is finally caught., Wisecracks are below par, and excellent situa- Michigan League Library: This Li-R brary will be closed Sunday, July 14 and Sunday, July 21, but will be open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Continued on Page 4) RESERVATIONS NOW PH-lONE 6300 0 man I I 0 A box of Genuine Etched Stationery, containing 48 sheets and 24 envelopes, stamped with the Michigan seal and your choice of either Angell Hall or The Union stamped on cream paper, in brown ink.
