Every New Act Clouded "Nearly every newly organized institution of the Government rests under a legal cloud. This is true of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Social Security Board, the Public Works Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Labor Relations Board.

"The acts of Congress involving the hopes and fears of a great proportion of the American people are likewise clouded in legal doubt. "Old-age benefits, old-age assistance, unemployment compensation, the Securities Act, the relief act-s, the Labor Relations Act. the Public Utility Holding Company Act, the Tennessee Valley acts as well as many taxing acts are involved In litigation, and there is no definite assurance what their fate will be." The secd day of committee hearings, with Jackson as witness, disclosed that foes of the court measure were prepared to press their fight along two Immediate lines. They sought first to prove through questioning of administration witnesses that there is no actual need for the Judiciary bill to relieve congestion of Federal dockets and therefore the only purpose of the measure is to change the viewpoint of the high tribunal. Their second maneuver revolved around a new and vigorous drive to unite Congressional opposition behind a single compromise constitutional amendment.

In that way they hoped to destroy the administration argument that the amendment method was too slow to meet the present crisis. 3 General view at the funeral rites of Fireman Michael J. Mulvey.

Murphy Calls On Auto Foes To End Strike Governor Warns He Will Act if Violenre Enters Hudson-Chrysler Sit-in Continued from Paff 1 ores will have to be taken, and that I am prepared to do." To Be Ready If Needed But Governor Muihy said he would be available if needed. The Governor said negotiations already are under way to settle both the Hudson and Chrysler strikes which started Monday and threw 75.000 men out of work. "That's the difference between these strikes and the General Motors strike," the Governor said. "I expect they will get along all right. I hurried home because I wanted to be present in order to protect properly the public interest in any situation that might arise." Referring to the Chrysler's application for a court order to oust sit-down strikers from its nine plants, Murphy said: "Securing of legal rights in the court is one of the peaceful methods of approaching settlement, and the determination of fundamental legal rights is Inherent.

I say this despite the problems that complicate Buch a settlement. But in thus, as In any other dispute, I hope to keep that part free from force and violence." Without meeting either company or United Automobile Workers of America officials. Murphy boarded an 8:30 a.m. train for Lansing, Michigan's capital. He said he had talked to some high United Automobile Workers officials by telephone, but that he did not discuss the strike with Walter P.

Chrysler, who also was in Florida. Neither side had asked him to Intervene, he said. Settlement Is Heard Meanwhile, conferees representing the U. A. W.

and the General Motors Corporation announced that they expected to complete today a post-strike settlement covering eight union demands. Failure to agree on the union's minimum wage proposals had caused a deadlock. The union strengthened picket lines around Chrysler plants in a demonstration against the corporation's plea for a court injunction to force evacuation of the plants. A hearing on the petition, which names John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization, officers of the U.

A. W. and the union itself as defendants, will be heard before Judge Allen Campbell Saturday.

By CLINTON L. MOSHER Washington, March 11 The hands on the clock pass on and Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, displays his teeth in a chewing motion and holds up five fingers.

That means in sign language that press and audience alike, within five minutes, will be relieved of the boredom of listening to a half dozen Senators engaged In the futile business of trying to trip up that veteran smoothy, Attorney General Homer S. Cummlngs, high priest of the court reform cult. One forgets how silly Congressional committee investigations can be until a new one gets underway. Senators, for example, who perform with average ability on the Senate floor appear to lose their sense of proportion when they get a witness on the stand and the sky is the limit Insofar as tripping themselves up is concerned. Considers Boost of Liberals The Senate Judiciary Committee Is now lending its collective ear to President Roosevelt's sensational request for the power to boost six young liberals not "spineless poppets" onto the highest court bench.

There will be days and days of hearings. A whole string of witnesses will be heard. will Indulge in intelligent discussion and discussion not so intelligent and quarrel among themselves and ladies in mink coats, men with canes and the less distinguished-appearing hangers-on will have something to occupy their time for weeks. The net value of the present proceeding remains to be seen. It has the advantage, in the first place, of propagandizing the nation on the issue, and, in the second place, if the hearings drag on, to give the opponents of the President a chance to whip up public sentiment as was done when Woodrow Wilson was defeated on American membership in the League of Nations.

Boners Furnish Laughs As a show, it is worth seeing. You get an intimate glimpse of Senators and distinguished witnesses alike. They all pull boners and boners are always worth a laugh. Senator William H. Dleterlch, Illinois Democrat, is a huge man with a large face, heavy eyebrows and an angry look.

When he gets mad he looks almost apoplectic and he gets mad frequently, His unique contribution to the first session was to arise and attempt to shut off general debate on the court on the theory that the only question before the committee was whether or not the dockets of the Federal Courts are crowded. He appeared to have the notion that was the only reason for the President's request for six more Justices. Senator Marvel Mills Logan, Democrat from Kentucky's blue grasses, likewise marvelled that there could be anything more to the court fight than crowded dockets and joined Dieterich in the point of order. Silenced by Ashurst Senator Ashurst silenced them both because it appears that Messrs Dieterich and Logan had not heard the President's complaint the aged, conservative justices on the highest bench are looking at the world through moss-covered glasses. Senator Warren Robinson Austin of Vermont even got the horse laugh from his fellow Republicans when he put on a roaring bull act with Cummlngs as his intended victim.

He squirmed around and tried to holler down the Attorney General until his collar and a wisecrack from the witness put an end to the business. It seems that Cummlngs had heard something about Vermont and its Republicans being in the minority during the last election and unfortunately Austin and Cummlngs were debating court minorities so that Cummlngs got an open ing and floored his opponent with that little election reminder. Austin Leads With Chin Why Austin should have attempt ed to handle Cummlngs as a night court lawyer would handle a mixed ale bum is Deyona conception, ine Senator however, has a reputation for sticking his chin out at the wrong time and getting it bumped. Even Senator William E. Borah, Idaho Republican, and big booster for a Constitutional amendment instead of a "stacking" bill, jumped the track after a good start and declared the President's bill would actually eliminate the court.

It was a point so highly technical partment marched from the head- 940 DeKalb to the Mulvey home, and then to St. John the Baptist R. C. Church, on Willoughby near Lewis where a requiem mass was sung. After the ma.ss the escort accompanied the cortege as it proceeded to Holy Cross Cemetery.

Mounted Police fjortage A mounted police detal headed the procession, and the line of menn territory In the Guadalajara sector and to have advanced within sight of the provincial capital, 32 miles northeast of Madrid.

Government communiques acknowledged their ramy had fallen back under the Insurgents' power ful, three-day attack but asserted strateeic withdrawals had consolidated their defenses in strong positions. Forty-one Italian war prisoners, reputedly captured on the Guadalajara front from two divisions the "Temerarla" and "Black Feathers" were displayed at military headquarters at Madrid. The government reported that a counter-attack on the southern front had forced Insurgents to retire two miles in fighting around Pozoblanco, Cordoba Province. Collapse of a school building In the University City sector, northwest of the capital, killed 140 insurgents, official reports declared. Government aviators also were said to have bombed the Guadala- jara-Zaragoza highway in the rear of insurgent positions northeast of Guadalajara.

Big Rebel Army Attacks Hendaye, Franco-Spanish. Fron tier, March 11 (U.R) The greatest battle of the Spanish civil war seemed imminent today as Gen. Francisco Franco brought up an overwhelming force of tanks and artillery before Guadalajara, last outpost at Madrid's back door. With a speed surprising even In modern warfare, the rebel com mander-in-chlef sent 21,000 troops in highly mechanized units rolling down hill over well-kept roads from the northeast jii toward the capital's hitherto unprotected rear, capturing Brihuega, where the loyalist "Red Lion" battalion was wiped out; torija and a number of other towns. The insurge.it force was divided into two assault columns.

Composed reputedly of 7,000 Italian troops each, they advanced rapidly over the open country along each side of the Madrid-Soyla highway. A third, reserve column, brought up the rear on the highway itself. War's Biggest Battle Moorish cavalry and mechanized machine gun units swept over the countryside on a 30-mile front in advance of the main rebel columns, driving straggling loyalist defend ers before them. The government- als fought a delaying action while their main line of defense, being hastily constructed from Guadalajara eastward 24 miles to Sacedon, was completed. Military observers said the great est battle of the war would likely begin an that line, between the Tajuna and Tajo Rivers, within the next few hours a battle which would mark the climax of General Franco's fifth offensive in four months against Madrid and one expected to decide the fate of the capital.

2 Are Arrested In Pawn Holdup Suspects Believed to Be 'Lum her jack Gang' Memhers in Gem Raid Two men suspected of being members of the so-called "lumberjack gang" of five who obtained loot val ued at $25,000 In a neatly executed last Tuesday, were under ar rest today. The prisoners, booked at the Pop lar St. police station on charges of assault and robbery, described them selves as Anthony Riccardl, 22, of 288 Leonard and Joseph Pepe, 26, of 169 Mulberry Manhattan. Both men were identified at the police station by several persons who were iri the pawn shop when the holdup occurred, detectives said. The manager, a clerk, and six customers were in the pawnshop when It' was held up.

Three of the bandits menaced them with guns while another acted as lookout and a fifth drove an automobile in which the gunmen escaped with their loot, most of which was in pledged jewelry. Police said one of the persons who was In the shop picked out Pepe's picture In the rogue's gallery. Lt. Charles Eason, Andrew Kelly and Cornelius Carmody of the Poplar St. detective squad, picked up Pepe and Riccardl, who was with him, In the lower East Side section of Manhattan last night.

Both suspects denied participating in the robbery. They were to be taken to the lineup at Manhattan Police Headquarters, and then to District Attorney Geoghan's office. Find Lawyer Guilty In Stolen Car Case William Greenstein, 27, of 30 Ocean Parkway, who apparently abandoned a career at the bar to become well known as a dealer In used cars, is In the city prison today awaiting sentence on a charge of criminally receiving stolen property. He was convicted late yesterday by a jury before County Judge ative tomorrow, the breach between the court and the ballot box will be as wide as ever. Term It Mildest Remedy Of course, where the New Dealers run into a snag on this phase of the argument is that one of their strongest, or at least, loudest points Is that their remedy is the mildest possible because it doesn't interfere with the Constitution.

As the President says, he intends to save the Contitutton from the court and the court from iUself. All of this give and take is occurring in a high, marble-walled room on the second floor of the Senate Office Building, a room that looks not unlike a courtroom. Tom Hef-lin, the ex-Senator who made headlines chasing the Pope and Al Smith struts around declaring he Is now at peace with the world, with God and with himself, which is a very large order. Smith "Wild Man" Brookhart of Iowa, another ex-Senator who raised hell with everybody and everything when he was in Congresshe played no favorites sits In a front row seat, the brief-case he always carries at his side. His purpose? Unknown.

Lovely Lady Attends A brace of fashionably-dressed women sit In the enclosure reserved for ladies with good connections. One Is about 35. She is dressed in immaculate simplicity. She is good-lookmg. She sits not unlike a musical comedy star on the rail of an incoming ocean liner.

Some one says, "Who Is she?" Some one answers, "Think she's a national committeewoman." The first some one asks, "Then who are those women who wear national committeewoman badges and go to national conventions?" And then Senator Ashurst gives the signal for lunch and the show Is over. Seek Redwood Clue in Bullets Pellets Taken From Victims of Gang Killings in Past Are Checked March 11 (P) Bullets taken from victims of gang killings In the last few years were being checked by police today to determine if the pistod used to slay R. Norman Redwood, New York "sandhog" union leader, was also used in other assassinations. The bullets also were being tested, Prosecutor John J. Breslln said, to learn if they came from guns disposed of by Moe Saraga, former New York arms dealer held here as a material witness in the Redwood investigation.

Saraga, Breslln announced, has told authorities he sold-the Redwood murder pistol to a lieutenant of Arthur (Dutch Schultz) Flegenhem-er, New York beer baron of prohibition days who was killed in Newark in 1935. The prosecutor said Saraga also tol dof dealing with the Schultz crowd in arms over a period of several years. Saraga, meanwhile, was questioned concerning a rifle used in the killing of Louis (two gun) Alterie in Chicago nearly two years ago. Detective Chief John L. Sullivan of the mid-western city, said the rifle had been traced to Saraga, but Breslln quoted the dealer as saying his records concerning it were missing and that he could not recall the circumstances offhand.

Seeks to End Gasoline Wars Facie Bureau, Capitol Building. Albany, March 11 Assemblyman Max M. Turshen (D. Brooklyn) Is sponsoring two bills which seek to outlaw unfair competitive tactics ana price wars in the gasoline and oil selling business. One bill provides for agreement by owners of gasoline service stations on codes of fair competition.

The other requires stations to post consptclously the prices of all gas and oil products. Under this second bill, any dealer who sells these motor vehicle prod ucts at less than the posted price is subject to a fine of not more than only ruining the industry. The small dealers are hurt worst and lot of them are being driven out of business. Competition of this sort is to the detriment of not only the men In business, but also the motorist, for gasoline products are being imitated and the purchaser often gets an inferior product."

In addition, more than 6,000 were made idle when "feeder" plants, which depend upon Chrysler and Hudson for most of their orders, were forced to close. Ten Chrysler and three Hudson plants were closed or held by sit-down strikers. Chrysler officials said others would be closed soon unless a settlement could be reached. Both Sides Adamant Chrysler and union conferees agreed to meet again today, but neither side showed any indication of retreating from original positions the union demands recognition as sole collective bargaining agency for all Chrysler employes; the corporation refuses to enter into such an agreement.
