TWO THE NORTH ADAMS TRANSCRIPT, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 193V JUSTICE HUGHES SHOWS "RED" FACE At Hearing on Wagner Labor Act IN SUPREME COURT Senators Have Complete Right of Way on Subway Cars Connecting Senate and Capitol. i By Preston proven Justice Charles Evans Hughes can blush like a school girt. He did it when suddenly he was put on the spot at the openmg of arguments on constitutionality of the Wagner labor act. Morris Ernst, Newspaper Guild attorney, arose with Solicitor General Stanley Reed as The Associated Press case opened and asked for 20 minute. 1 of court time to backstop the yoveriiMiL'iH.

Seemingly taken by surprise. Hughes hesitated for several seconds, reddening. Only a day or two before the President had intimated pointedly that Hughes and five other elderly justices should get off Hie court and out of the way of the Wagner act and like measures. Hughes finally remarked that a "very liberal" allowance of time, two hours and a half, had been made to the government and opposing counsel their arguments. If the government wished to share its lime with Mr.

Ernst, the court would permit it. It was a neat parry and put upon Solicitor Reed the job of telling Ernst, jvho stood beside him, that he.couldn't have any of the government's time. There was some disappointment among those observers who thought Ernst, author of a recent book On the court and constitution and a liberalis't crusader, might have done quite as well as government counsel. 'All Aboard' Any street car motorman could run the Senate subway cars connecting the office building and capital under the plaza, but there is a stern additional requirement. Operators must know at sight all OC senators.

They have right of way on the cars. When a senator gets aboard, the car must if humbler character has foot in afr to climb on. But operators may keep the laity waiting while finishing a smoke at the end of the line. 'Art' Destroyed Years ago some ribald wit clipped out a picture of a near nude and pasted it on the wall of the press room in the treasury building. The place quickly grew into a gallery of such clippings, many made exceptionally tart by apt headlines pasted alongside.

Recently the WPA came along with a cleanup project, scraped the walls free of "art" and painted them a bilious gray-green. Masculine treasury reporters were pretty upset by it. For long years the art display has discouraged visits by women reporters. Since its removal, tlte masculine veterans complain, the "sal" reporters have drifted in freely. REPORTS CONFLICT ON OY1EDO BATTLE (Continued from Page One) Two advances were executed before the militiamen attained tfie summit.

They opened the way on the first push with grenades and-a sweeping fire from rifles and machine guns. Steadily, seeking cover at every forward step, they attained the crest to be met full in the face by a coun- terfire of insurgent machine guns. They fell back, consolidated their death-thinned ranks, and then started the upward movement again. This time they held fast to their gains while enemy bullets dug into the ground around them. Pinzarron hill (the name means "big has been heavily fortified by insurgents during the two and one-half weeks battle of the Jarama river.

About 20 miles southeast of Madrid near Morata de Tajuna, it stands between the Valencia road ana insurgent concentrations, along the Jarama river. Previous attacks on its slopes had been beaten back. If the government could establish artillery at the summit, Madrid's defenders would be able to shell Franco's Men just as insurgent gunners have battered at government positions along the Valencia road. Insurgent artillerymen at the summit duelled with, government batteries while the militiamen pushed upward. Shells screamed above the infantrymen as they waged their close range combat.

Other government batteries blasted at the ring of insurgent siege lines nearer the city, attempting to divert the besiegers while the Pinzarron hill charge was taking place and to cover other infantry attacks. Insurgents clung to the clinical hospital in the University City suburban sector, northwest of Madrid, but were reported to have lost a building behind the Maria 'Christina asylum in a minor government attack. An official bulletin reported that government troops on the Ouadarra- ma'mountain front about 35 miles to the northwest, and at El Escorial, a sector of that same front. 26 miles from the city, had been attacked by combined artillery and Infantry but had repulsed the insurgents. One thousand insurgents were reported to have been killed when militiamen surprised a concentration preparing to attack Torre de Sabin- anlgo, Abanades and Sacecorbo, along the Tajuna river, about 60 miles northeast of Madrid.
