The 1935 United States Relief Act was held unconstilulionai today by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.In a sweeping opinion, three of the five judges said the $4,880,-000,000 law was void because of improper delegation of powers to President Roosevelt\u2019s invasion of state\u2019s rights, and a lack of definite authorizations.The Court said the law \u201cattempts to reach and control matters over which the constitution has given Congress no powers.\u201d In a lest case which resulted from plans for a model community in Somerset County, New Jersey, the Appellate Court found there was no constitutional power \u201cconferred upon the Federal Government to regulate \u2018housing\u2019 or to \u2018resettle\u2019 population.\u201d Rexford G.Tugwell, in charge of the Re-settlement Administration, deferred comment pending study of the opinion.It was written by Asso.ciate Justice Van Orsdel and concurred in by Chief Justice Martin and __________ .Associate Justice Robb.The other two members.Justices Groner and Stephens, agreed that constitutional authority was lacking in this case, but said the court should not have passed upon validity of the entire programme.Condemning the broad powers under the Relief Act, the Court said that in the language of the Supreme Court's N.R.A.decision, the President was virtually unfettered.He is at liberty to set up agencies and prescribe such rules of conduct and fix such standards as he may deem proper.\" After noting the power of the President to transfer amounts to various projects under the Relief Act, the majority said: \u201cIt logically follows the President and not the Congress is to legislate with respect to housing.\u201cThe President, not the Congress, is to set governmental agencies to carry out the purposes of the Act.The President, not the Congress, is to prescribe the regulations and rules of conduct which shall govern.\u201cThe President, not the Congress, is to decide where and when and how, if at all, this

Alfred, who denied vehemently that he and Thomas ever talked about the current budget, said he had \u201cinduced\u201d the cabinet member to take out £1,000 insuarnce against an election being held during 1935.The transaction was arranged when the two met at a race track, Sir Alfred explained.Foiling the general election last November won by the National Government with which Thomas was

the act of killing and looting, plunderers found prowling and armed bandits who refused to give up arms in accordance with a proclamation of martial law have been executed after triais in the last few days as Italian authorities seek to calm swiftly the situation here.After rvaiting a week for the scene to quiet itself, but with sporadic outbursts still occurring, the authorities are following military law to the letter and fantastic scenes are being witnessed.Several journalists have left Addis Ababa already under compulsion, taking the train to Djibouti, French Somaliland, and more will follow.As a result of the decisions of military tribunals, rifles and machine guns of carabinieri are banging out sometimes at dawn, some-ties at dusk, carrying out sentence of death for the marauders who burned and pillaged Addis Ababa in four days of rioting, resulting in more than eight hundred native deaths, before the Italians arrived on May 5th.The Associated Press writer witnessed a solitary execution in the darkness of the compound behind the carabinieri headquarters near the Mer.elik Monument last night as a Shifta (bandit) chieftain, caught in an attack on a farmhouse thirty miles north of here, was brought in and executed after a trial in which members of his own gang testified to his guilt.It was an austere, quiet group in the bare room of the commissariat as the judge heard the evidence and pronounced his decision of death.Then, in the darkness, the Shifta marched out to a white-washed wall across the small courtyard of the compound.He was tall and thin, with bushy hair and a bare face, wearing a shama grey with dirt.He said nothing and seemed' rather uninterested as the carabinieri bound his hands behind him and turned his face to the wall.He stood there while the carabinieri lined up twenty feet away.At the command \u201cFire!\u201d a volley into the back crumbled him to the ground.In accordance with the custom of military execution, a lieutenant fired a pistol into the Shifta\u2019s head to make death certain.mg.The Court said that \u201cthis may be said to be mere fancy,\u201d but that the principle involved was that in the appropriation of public moneys th« congressional mandate shall include a reasonable limitation of the discretion of the executive in their use.Possible effects of the opinion on the pending relief-deficiency bill was the subject of immediate study by administration leaders.Like the $4,880,0\u201900,0I00 relief appropriation of last year, the $1,42\u20195,-000,000 relief fund now before the Senate Appropriations Committee would be allotted only by broad classifications.Referring to the Act as the \u201cmost stupendous single appropriation ever made by a legislative body,\u201d the Court said the \u201cemergency\u201d of a ( depression was \u201cnot sufficient to ex-j pand the power of Congress to tax ' and spend for purposes exclusively within the reserved powers of the states.\u201d MENTAL
