OVERSTEPPING Some of the most loyal New Deal lawyers, not Republicans, but NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1935 brain trusters, believe tlve relict bill Is unconstitutional. They have not said so because their ((olnions have not been sought by the powers that b4. ButMf asked now they will tell President Roosevelt In.

their own mild legal way that sections 4 and 9 of the measure, over 1 came down from New Hampshire recently to pick up a prisoner, called at the office of District Attorney Geoghan and conferred with Assistant John Lee. Found out his prisoner was willing to waive extradition, went out himself to see the Big Town, which he had never visited before. Came in the next morning looking pretty worried. Confessed to Mr. Lee he was afraid to return to New Hampshire because he'd lost his watch.

Lee said he should let the police know at once, explained probability was watch was already in a pawnshop, could probably be redeemed. But sheriff became alarmed, said he didn't want the matter to become public. Had no end of trouble expressing himself, and Lee asked him why that was. Sheriff was silent a moment, said: "That's because my false teeth were lost, too. I'll tell all: "I went to a night club last night and had a pretty big time.

When I woke up this morning my watch and my teeth and my money and my fraternal society pin were gone. I'm scared to let the police know, because what would happen to me back home if the story ever got out?" Sheriff borrowed enough money to get his prisoner back home. Said to Mr. Lee that what with one thing and another he didn't think he'd come back to New York again. which the Senate Is fussing, are "loosely drawn and of doubtful constitutionality." Section 4 is the one giving the President blanket power to create and prescribe the duties of all bureaus or corporations in Ms proposed relief reorganization.

Section 5 enlarges his right to condemn and buy property. It Is a 10 to bet that Mr. Roosevelt already 'knows this and that these sections will be modified with his consent. The Paul BaUoD FvANGERS OF DIVING George A. Ford of 571 Lafayette Ave.

was sitting in a street restaurant In Coburg, Germany, one day early in 1918. One of the few Americans still serving as a buyer in Europe, he had little fear of war, having been guaranteed immunity by the Reich Government. His slight English accent, due to fact his father was an Englishman, had caused him some informal trouble, but not enough to bother him. Busy at luncheon, he was startled to hear a shot fired on the street. Looked up Just in time to see a man dashing away.

He himself started to New Deal' cannot afford to have some irate taxpayer tie Bp the whole relief program in the courts. rpHWAWTED Mr. Ickes irritation Is supposed to have caused the Insertion of the property seizure feature. The public works director has had much trouble with property owners who do i not want tb sell their land for slums clearance at the GovernOnent price. A Louisville judge held against Mr.

Ickes in a representative case and Just about tied hil hands. At the time of that decision he had a suit of his own pending In Cleveland but the Louisville result caused him to drop It. Mr. Ickes right. Something will have to be done.

But It; will have to be constitutional. Smart lawyers will it up. pOX Mr. oosevelt has played fox with the hounds in Congress who are trying to tree Mr. Ickes.

The yelping' pack was led off the scent slightly In the House. An assurance was passed down the line by the House leaders that Mr. Ickes would not control tho new relief organization. Simultaneously the newsmen got inside word from one of the White House secretaries that the President himself would ietain control over the relief program. These indefinite assurances looked like a couple of red herrings tj: Mr.

Ickes' pursuers. They adopted an amendment which they thought would keep him from being: an influence in the new set up, but it won't. Authorities in. a position to fathom Mr. Roosevelt's mind believe his Intention Is to let Mr.

Ickes IP v' ir get up, go and see what was going on, found he was too lazy. Then, as he brought his fork up to his mouth, he felt several hard objects fall from his mouth to the plate. Looked down, saw that they were teeth and that he was bleeding profusely. He fainted, awakened in a hospital next day to learn bullet, fired by a maniac, had drilled through his cheek, came out of his mouth, carrying away seven teeth. Would be assassin, it developed, had mistaken Mr.

Ford for an English spy, was committed to an asylum. Mr. Ford got well just in time to get out of Germany before the United States went to war with Germany.

Remember that for years it was mestic" braus in the world to the accompaniment of soft gutteral speech and the clatter of heavy china on heavier wood. IN MR. FORD'S experiences as a war time buyer he was one time a passenger on a British ship torpedoed in the North Sea, found himself swimming about for four hours before being picked up. Also he was mistaken for a spy, held temporarily, in three different countries Germany, France and England.

Once, after returning to the IT. S. for brief vacation, he sailed from Boston for Genoa on a trip that should have taken ten days. Boat was out 27 days, Just about running out of fuel, when it finally reached its destination. On the way it had carried on an almost continual bit of jiggling around keeping away from torpedoes.

In the course of the chase it had put in at the Azores, the Madeiras, Gibraltar and at two ports on the Gold Coast of Africa. pOLAR NOTE Vincenzo Di Fabrizio, recently A arrived from Naples, may still be lost somewhere in Brooklyn be'eause of our recent blizzard. It started when Vincenzo and his cousin, Joseph Scioppetinl, entered the Canal St. station of the B. M.

T. to board a Sea Beach line train for Coney Island. The fury of the storm during the rush hours and ttie fact that trains were slow on arriving had taxed the platform's capacity. Minutes later, when a West End train arrived, thoughtless people, in their effort to board the train, separated Vincenzo from his cousin and sardtned him into a car. Before he knew what had happened, the doors clicked shut and he was on tils way over the bridge.

Twisting and squirming, he kept calling rather emphatically, "Hey, Joe!" Our polar repoter, who was wrapped around the same pole as Vincenzo, tried to help him. Tills was Vincenzo's first trip on the city's subways. He was going to his cousin's house in "Koonile." It was suggested to him that he go as far as Coney Island and try to What has happened to the Ge mutlicheit of those grand days when the stentorian voices of the Maen nerchors and the Saengerbunds used to cause Brooklyn walls to tremble, when the Turnvereins used to echo to the "Rechts and "Links. um" of the herr professor, now reduced to "gym The war first and prohibition second passed over all that like some super juggernaut and left a waste behind that has never been filled.

Direct Government work will be handled elsewlre, the whole network being under casual Presidential supervision. At least that lsi ijrtiat Mr. Roosevelt will do unless the Senate changes his mind by putting in some new restrictta is against Mr. Ickes.

pRETTING The State Department frets fre quently about Japanese Ambassador Saito. The ambassador has been making far more speeches than is usual for an embassador and he has proved to be an excellent isalestalker for the Japanese point of view. His latest speech, at the University of Georgia, pointed os to the students that Japan was not a menace tt anyone and was "seeking peace with all." That sounds fair tenough, but the State De partmenters have heajj'd It so often and disagree with it so much that iixy get jumpy every time they hear it. Mr. appetite for lunch was said to have been disturbed when he read the Georgia speech.

To do anything about it would cause a diplomatic incident. No one wants to do that, yet It would not be surprising if the State Department seeks more frequent opportunities' hereafter to express its far different Interpretation of the situation. 4 A IR TALK A new nanlie for secret treaties has been found in Europe. Such arrangements are now disguised as "exchanges of military Information." French and Russian authorities have been swearing up and down tliat they had no secret alliance against Germany. The best U.

S. diplomatic sources now have found out how France and Russia work it. They merely agree to hold military talks with each othea. Their latest talk Is supposed to have resulted in a promise by Russia to mobilize its giant air forqe immediately if Germany starts war. No one knows how much aircraft the Russians have, but the best inside estimate is 3,000 military machines and 2,000 civilian rj mchines.

It Is probably the world's greatest air lleet. in Summer in Brooklyn and its suburbs. Hungry thousands gustily suppressed in many of the schools. Even the Steuben Society, formed at the back of the neck and those ample waistcoats, bulging far beyond the shelter that a coat could give them and those fat gold watch chains that emphasized the proud abdominal curve? Germans like the rest of us have yielded to the passion for concave fronts, and in plus fours are to be found ambling about open fields absorbed in a Scotch diversion described by Bernard Shaw as "trying to get a ball into a hole too small for it with sticks very badly shaped for the purpose." Ah me! That it should come to this. ingurgitated Incredible quantities of after the war to perpetuate in some sauerkraut, wursts, Gansbraten, measure the characteristics of Ger Germans the number is enormously greater.

Alter all both the war and prohibition are being forgotten, and there is little doubt that the hearts of many thousands would be gladdened by a new out cropping of Gothic Speisehaus signs in angular gold letters on the windows of places in which uninhibited knife and fork wlelders could have a little elbow room to bang down a stein without cracking a table top of plate glass. Schwelnfleisch, including that hideous looking but delectable delicacy, Schweinshaze, and Haszenpfeffer mit Rotkohl, or maybe Leberknedel mit Gemuse. man culture, takes pains to announce that it "conducts all its meetings in English."

Here and there some Germans grew self conscious, under pressure.

To prove themselves good Americans they took to conducting their activities in English. They erased the Gothic letters from helr windows. They smothered down the exterior went with the Strauss waltzes played by orchestras with plenty of battered brass in them, with efficient good to hear. It certainly was never meant to be sung in English either. Maybe we could get along without the tooting of battered tubas, but even the ump ah ump ah would be welcome if it brought back the rest.

OOPING PROCESS Harry Jensen works as a process server for Frank H. Curry lawyer of 113 S. Grand Baldwin. He's had no end of interesting experiences serving folks with tickets of admission to court. Most interesting he's ever had was recently when he was sent out by Mr.

Curry to serve a Roosevelt Field pilot. Went out to the field, was told his man was at the opposite end of the airdrome, preparing to take off. Found the aviator, established his identity. "Hop in and I'll take you for a ride," said the aviator pleasantly. Mr.

Jensen hopped in, once in the air hollered that he was sorry but he had to serve his host with a summons. Flyer looked pretty grim, said: "I only wish this were my own plane, so I could do a couple of loops and drop you out with your damned summons." There was no looping, but Mr. Jensen reports his host dived immediately for earth, almost scared the server to death, then told him to get off the field post haste. Mr. Jensen says he did just that.
