...around the Constitution. The Moley method: have Congress delegate its constitutional power to the President for a fixed period and within certain broad limits. That principle was the basis of the Economy bill whereby the President cut veterans' pensions which Congress was scared to touch. On it also rests the farm bill which grants broad authority to the President's Secretary of Agriculture. Dr. Moley helped draft the currency inflation bill which strips Congress of most of its constitutional power to regulate the value of money. Soon Congress is expected to be asked to pass over...
...play opens in cheerless Cottage D of a midwestern reform school. Onto this scene is led a collection of small, wary ruffians: Little Deadman ("He won't let nobody touch him"); pudgy Pieface; Horsethief, whose malady is obscure and horrid. Poison mean is Roy Wells (John Drew Colt), ringleader of the potato-peeling "Centipede's Club." Robert Locket (Edwin Philips) is the most sensitive young prisoner, a fact which early bodes him ill. In him Mrs. Sanger, wife of the weak cottage supervisor, takes a strange and unnatural interest...

Other communicable diseases have shown decreases or insignificant increases. Nonetheless, health officials last week feared no measles epidemic. They consider the disease purely local. It may flare up in one neighborhood, not touch another. For example, California last week showed a 93% measles increase over the same week last year; New York increased 86%, New Jersey 435%. Other States showed correspondingly great decreases: Oregon 66%, Pennsylvania 17%, Ohio...
