I Li I WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (AP) Sen. William E. Borah of Idaho issued a statement today describing the proposed Argentine sani- tarv trentv as a menace to the live stock industry of far western states.

The proposed treaty, recommend ed by the administration as a sup plement to its reciprocal iraue agreement program, would "virtually destroy the federal governments quarantine law against the foot and mouth disease," Borah said. He asserted he was prepared to organize delegations from far western cattle states in a militant attempt to block passage of the proposed measure in the senate. He mentioned the delegations from Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Colorado, California, Nevada and Arizona. The proposed treaty, he said, would virtually repeal a provision in the Hawley-Smoot tariff act requiring a complete quarantine against live stock imports from (Continued On Page 5, Col. 2) Court Upholds Prison Goods Shipment Law Communist Is Freed Of Syndicalism Charge WASHINGTON.

Jan. 4. (AP) In unanimous decisions, the Supreme court today upheld the Ashurst-Sumners act forbidding shipment of nri son -made goods to states where their sale is illegal, and at tacked the operation of an Oregon criminal syndicalism law as repug nant" to the constitution. The victory of the Ashurst-Sumners act immediately raised hopes in some congressional quarters that the court may, after all, permit federal legislation to regulate wages and hours without a constitutional amendment. Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat Wyoming, who wants to carry out such regulation by means or a system of federal charters for corporation doine- interstate business, said todav's decision "places the eeal of consitutionality" on his plan.

Was New Deal Measure Th -nrison roods act was the second New Deal measure to win this term. Earlier the court upheld the embargo on shipment of arms tn the firan Chaco war between Paraguay and Bolivia. Both major decisions today were read by Chief Justice Hughes. Asserting the court had on various occasions upheld the government's power to prohibit interstate transportation, Hughes said: "The pertinent point is that where the subject of commerce is one as to which the power of the state may constitutionally be exerted by restriction In order to prevent harmful consequences, congress mav, if it sees fit, put forth its power to regulate interstate commerce so as to prevent that commerce from being used to impede the carrying out of the state policy."

Basques at Bilbao uncovered heavy coastal artillery tor "practice" firing the range of fire to encompass the patrol route of the German Koenigs berg and Admiral Graf SpejB.

Berlin was angered highly by reports the Uerman freighter Pluto had been halted by Spanish trawlers off Bilbao late last month.
