CHALLENGE The silence ei veloping Supreme court justices these days is ominous. Such muteness has not always been their custom. Although Sphinx-like while a case is under consideration, several discuss intar-court arguments and philosophy quite freely after a decision has been rendered. Such extra-judicial information has often guided a President in framing new measures. At no time in recent years would a hint of the jurists' underlying attitude, especially the four liberals', be so helpful.

Yet never have the members been so secretive. Two usually talkative justices have been disappointments this tme. The answer Is that the New Deal is still on trial. Important cases involving TVA and AAA are on their way up. Proposals that future legislation be submitted to the court for constitutional cleaning before enactment fall on deaf ears.

It would make nine apopint-ed men supreme over the people who elect the executive and legislative branches. DANGERS Talking off the record, several constitutional authorities friendly to the New Deal are extremely dubious over pending legislation. Sponsors of the hold ing company bill, the Guffey coal bill and the Wagner Labor Disputes measure have rebuilt them to meet Supreme court objections. Or so they think. The bills now contain everything but the kitchen sink.

The public utility measure cites senatorial and federal trade commission conclusions abrmt the viciousness of holding companies. They are supposed to justify abolition. But the court may not accept these conclusions. The Guffey bill quotes Supreme court decisions which hold coal mining to be of interstate character. The Wagner legislation stresses the effects of strikes upon interstate commerce.

Able senatorial lawyers think the court will react adversely to this legislative ruse. The statutes already knocked out contained preambles which painted a black picture unless they become the permanent law of the land. But the Supreme court was color blind. (McClure Syndicate.)
