Leaders of the government forces said rebels suffered "important losses, leaving more than 200 dead on the field of battle while the militiamen counted only two dead and six wounded. Victory at Oviedo also was announced by the government with the reported capture of a prison, a strategic point dominating much of the city, and a railroad station which had been held by rebels. Government airplanes bombed jebel was revealed officially, but the seizure of the prison was not confirmed.

White flags flying on buildings and in the streets of Oviedo were considered a sign the populace favored -surrender to government forces to prevent further aerial assaults. For many weeks minsrs loyal to the government have bee: bombarding Oviedo with dynamite and other improved weapons. Government attacks also were reported against insurgents attempting a march into San Sebastian. The battle entered its second day with outposts of the two opposing forces engaging in conflict at dawn after a night of preperation. A government plane which scouted insurgent positions succeeded in checking resumption of the rebel advance with an early bombardment while the loyalist de- jenders Jfired with apparent accura- "cy at Irun.

The eight-inch loyalist Howitzers were set up back of Fuenter- rabia.

Rifle and machine gun fire was less sharp put cries "Viva "Viva Reaction!" still were heard from rebel lines. Rebel planes.dropped a few bombs on Irun and scattered many pamphlets demanding, surrender lest the city be destroyed. Militiamen boasted that the rebels ceased air attack fearing a new anti-aircraft gun placed at the center of Irun.

Rebels held tnickloads of lumber along the river with which to repair roads and erect barricades. The damaged road opposite Biriatou was repaired crudely but an armored car became stuck while attempting to cross and prevented advance of other units. Irun loyalist leaders said "only a few" had been killed on their side thus far and that the wounded numbered under 50.

FTTCHBUBG Store Open Saturday Evening "One who would preserve our constitutional system must deplore the action of President Roosevelt in recommending that members of Congress set aside any doubts they might have about the validity of proposed legislation. Not even the court can compel congressmen and senators to develop a responsibility to recognize and to protect the Constitution." Danger to Constitution The majority also decided that "if the people become indifferent and exhibit that indifference by the election of a national government which seeks ways, not to observe, but to avoid the limitations of the constitution, these limitations will vanish. "No court can preserve the constitution which the people themselves have deserted." The committee reported inquiries sent to the deans of law schools in the United States" brough responses showing a growing belief that the courts cannot continue to act as buffers between the citizen and the Legislature in this age when extended government intervention is inevitable." "Many believed," the report continued, "that the courts had abdicated their function to such an extent that no one could assert with confidence that the American citizen today has any clear right which he can maintain against the legislative decree.

"These doubts have been emphatically dispelled by the supreme urt minority "re-" port, Wynne characterized the findings of the majority "superficial." "If the purpose of the resolution creating the special committee was to get the opinion of the American Bar association regarding legislative trends designed to meet changing economic conditions, the report is superficial," he said. "It does not deal with the problem but concerns itself with a short-range attack on surfa.ce trivialities. The depth of the ocean cannot be measured by the spray that cress the waves." The meeting voted down a resolution to ask WPA aid for needy lawyers. W. W.

Montgomery and Ira Jewell Williams of Philadelphia, opposed It on the ground that passage of the resolution might imply approval of the WPA by the association. The association also defeated a resolution favoring "a constitutional passage by Congress and state legislatures of New Deal legislation such as the NBA, AAA and similar acts that the United States supreme court has declared unconstitutional. It unanimously adopted a resolution condemning partisan politics by judges.
