He had been cockilv confident that I his argument before the u- preme court would bring com-j com-j piete victory to the govern-I govern-I ment and much-needed laur- els to his battered brow. In fact, when he met Bill Green ! a few days before the court hand-' ed down its reverberating decision, Richberg airily brushed aside the A. F. of L. leader's concern about possible defeat. "Take my word for it. Bill," Richberg said, "this is in the bag. I'll stake my reputation as a lawyer law-yer who has had considerable experience ex-perience in practising before the supreme court that the government govern-ment will win this case." Naturally, therefore, Richberg was punch-drunk and woozy when the court riddled his argument. BUt he was not alone. Masterminds Master-minds of the justice department were just as bewildered. Attorney General Cummings and Solicitor General Stanley Reed told the president, in effect, that .-the supreme court had the New Deal licked; that without an amendment to the constitution they saw no effective way out of the stalemate. je jj I TWO SCHOOLS OF !

FLETCHER WINS HONORS The honorary degree of Doctor of Science was conferred on Harvey Fletcher, director of physical research of Bell Telephone Tele-phone laboratories, by Columbia university at its annual com- , mencement exercises held on tuesday, June 4. Dr. Fletcher was given the degree "in recognition recog-nition of his years of scientific inqury concerning the physical nature of speech, music and noise as well as the facts of hearing, hear-ing, which inquiries have lead to important developments in the methods and equipment for the highest quality of transmission of both speech and music." Dr. Fletcher received his undergraduate under-graduate degree from Brigham Young university in 1907 and the Ph. D. degree from the University Univer-sity of Chicago in 1911. During his years of graduate study he was instructor in physics first at Brigham Young and then at Chicago, Chi-cago, and on receiving the graduate grad-uate degree became professor of physics at Brigham Young. In 1916 he came to Bell Telephone laboratories, undertaking the investigations in-vestigations of speech and hearing hear-ing which have made him one of the foremost authorities in this j field..

These peaks are too gigantic, they have too much of. an upward drag for any artist to be able to represent them." I think Randolph was right. But fortunately, Provo and Utah county coun-ty people, at least, don't need to have an artist paint the peaks.

White House confidants said President Roosevelt intends to carry on NRA objectives in a different dif-ferent and permanent form, instead in-stead of abandoning the No. 1 recovery experiment entirely or continuing it merely for a short period. Favors Extension Inthe meantime, the president's program for an extension of a skeletonized NRA until April 1, 1936, gained prompt response from congressional leaders. They said the house could be expected to act on it Friday. It was learned also that Mr. Roosevelt is gravely concerned over the labor situation. He was . reported yesterday as saying that passage of the Wagner Wag-ner labor disputes bill and the Guffey soft-coal regulation bill was "indispensable to prevent the necessity of martial law." The program announced by the president yesterday after a special spec-ial cabinet meeting and a conference confer-ence with congressional leaders, was of a stop-gap nature. It dealt only as the president him self said with "an immediate problem." ' tTI In "addition to Mr. Roosevelt's public statement he gave congressional con-gressional leaders to understand that he hopes to propose, before the end of the present session of congress, a bill for permanent government supervision of industrial indus-trial working conditions and trade practices. To Unravel Tangle-He Tangle-He wants additional time to make such a bill of unquestionable unquestion-able constitutionality, it was said. There was one report it might be based on the clear-cut power of congress to levy taxes. For unraveling the tangle of government affairs caused by the supreme court's Schechter case decision, Mr. Roosevelt proposes: 1. Enactment of a temporary extension of a skeletonized NRA, minus code-ming authority. 2. Enactment of a bill requiring requir-ing that government purchases and contracts be placed only with corporations or contractors who live up to certain minimum requirements re-quirements for wages and working work-ing conditions, including prohibition prohibi-tion of child labor. 3. Enactment of legislation to legalize necessary administrative boards doomed under the court's decision, and a new federal alcohol alco-hol control organization. 4. Enactment of legislation for the oil industry. The president did not give public pub-lic .endorsement to the Guffey and Wagner bill. But it was known that he has strongly advocated their passage.
