Striking at five. to-four decisions by the supreme court, Cenator Norrls today introduced in the senate a constitutional amendment to prevent the tribunal from ruling congressional acta unconstitutional except by more than two-thirda. ma Jorlty, and where actions have been brought within six months after an act takea effect. The veteran Ncbraskan, noted for efforts to revise federal and state constitutions, denied the proposed amendment waa aimed at the recent decision holding NRA unconstitutional two after it took effect.

"The Schechtcr Brothers would never have been Indicted under this amendment," he said, "as the recov ery act would have bien terted with in 10 daya after It took effect." He conceded the Tennessee Valley Authority act, challenged In the lower courts, was one of the motives behind the proposed amendment, al though, he said, the highest court will probably have ruled on TV'A long before his amendment could be adopted. The proposed amendment also wculd give the supreme court the exclusive and original Jurisdiction ln ca.ws involving constitutional ques Hons, No lower courts could paea on such esses.

"It would not represent a emigres sionol determination of mlnumtim wages and maximum hours to be in the performance ol government conlracta," he snld, "but would represent a delegation ot blanket authority to the president to determine In every Instance what minimum wage and maximum houn the contractors should be requires to observe."

Roosevelt insisted that revived buEinesa condition would "eliminate the major problem." Meanwhile, he urged the adminis trators "to go to work with your coats off so the dirt will fly very soon." With Hopkins' warning at the opening of tho conference that the next Six mcnths will "make or break." the works program, the state directors also heard the president reaffirm the principle that projects, though useful, must not cost too much, and there must be no discrimination because of politics, race or religion.

"That works two ways, it means that you can't the enemy or help our friends. The work must be considered from the humane point of view solely." Mr.

Rooaovelt explained that the problem was strictly arithmetical the employment cf 3.5CO.OOO men with four billion dollars.

"Alabama" Pitts Eligible to Play Organized Bali Commissioner Landis Rules in Favor of Former i Sing Sing Convict CHICAGO, June 17 (P) Kenessw Mountain Lendls, who as a federal Judge won fame for bis gentle treatment of the humble, today as base-tail's high commissioner, opened thj game's gates to Edwin C.

(Alabama) Pitts. Landis ruled that Pitts, who hit the sports pages as a football and baseball star at Sing Sing prison, might play with the Albany club of the International league. He insisted, however, that the 2t-year-eld parolee's contract contain a clause limiting his activity to regular games cf the schedule. For Pitts' own good, and apparently to be certain that ballyhoo be eliminated as far as possible, the commissioner, who was not present when the decision was made public, stipulated that the athlete must not eppear in, or at; exhibition games. Landis remained in his hotel suite, where he has been confined for the past three weeks because of Illness, while his secretary, Leslie M.

O'Connor, handed copies of the ruling to reporters. Neither Pitts, nor any representative of tho Albany club, was prej-ent, Landis having derided to handle the case without a Hearing. While the commissioner's action overruled the decisions by JUdgci William O. Bramham of Durham, president of the National Associ ation of Baseball Leagues, ruling body of minor circuits, and the association's executive committee, lie did not stc with their Hand, He pointed out that Bramham and the committee had ruled only on: the question of whether an ex-con vlct play ln organized baseball. Land.j said he had.

under tne maj.r-minor agreement, no authority to rule on decisions ot the executive committee, are final. Ilia action, he said, was based on Pitts' personal plea for a hearing possible ln that It is "a case wnere the play er's financial claim in issue amounts to $300 or more." Lands devoted a large part of tne decision ta correcting what he termed "erroneous Impressions" which erce In "the course cf considerable publicity in this case."
