...Lastly, I would like to say that all the claims that the NRA is unconstitutional are groundless. Certain phases may be open to debate, but the law as whole conforms completely with the constitution. As a matter of fact the administration could go much farther then it already has and still be within the bounds of the constitution. The inter-state commerce laws allow much more power and even broader administration that the NRA has already attempted. No careful critic, who has taken the time to really study the act, can say that it is unconstitutional. Leading jurists all over...
...university administration has said little on the question of beer in the Houses. But if student opinion were united, and pressure put on University Hall through the housemasters, it might be driven to admit that 3.2 beer with meals was a privilege which Harvard is certainly adult enough to claim, and to suggest this to the Massachusetts legislature. A simple amendment of the beer age limit from twenty-one to eighteen would be nothing but a legal acknowledgment of a plain fact.

...Generalissimo Chiang's resolve to lead the anti-Communist drive in Kiangsi, the straw that caused him to summon his Council of Generals.

What...
...American Trucking Association, at whose business store-door service was squarely aimed. The Merchant Truckmen's Bureau of New York last week hotly wired President Roosevelt: "We are not opposed to store-door . . . service as a principle but ... we feel that no railroad should be permitted to claim unproved economies in justification of performing a service for nothing, or at an uneconomical charge, to the complete destruction of the local trucking industry. . . . Obviously this contravenes practically every alleged purpose of the National Industrial Recovery...
...before eleven o'clock. According to Mr. A. W. Nolet, manager of the popular Club Touraine: "This repeal is going to be a great and fine thing, and it is going to do away completely with the speakeasy. Many people say that repeal will not end the speakeasy; they claim that it will be able to undersell the legal restaurants and taverns. This is impossible, for to exist they must charge exorbitant prices in order to meet the expense of bringing in or making the illicit liquor. Who will pay prices that are equal to, if not more than...
