Uncle Sam Checks Up
TTNCLE SAM wound up the 1937
^ fiscal year with a net deficit of
$2,707,347,110, or about $150,000,000
more than President Roosevelt esti-
mated last April, according to the
report of the United States Treas-
ury.
The gross national public debt
climbed to a total of $36,424,613,732
as of June 30, it was shown.
Receipts for the period just closed
were the largest in 16 years,
amounting to $5,293,840,236, com-
pared with $4,115,956,615 for the
1936-37 year and about $70,000,000 in
excess of estimates. Expenditures
were $8,105,158,547, including $103,-
933,250 for debt retirement origi-
nally planned for that period but
carried over into the current year.
Completion of the debt retire-
ment program as previously con-
templated would have called for the
-expenditure of $404,525,000, which
would have placed the gross deficit
above the $3,000,000,000 mark.
In the 1936-37 period, recovery and
relief costs were more than $400,-
000.000 below the total for the year
before, amounting to $2,846,462,932
against $3,290,927,869.
Reliable authorities around the
capitol said that as soon as all ap-
propriation bills for the 1938 fiscal
year were cleared, the President
would direct the heads of all govern-
ment departments to impound 10
per cent of their appropriations, ex-
clusive of fixed charges, in an at-
tempt to balance the budget. Ex-
perts said that a maximum of $400,-
000,000 could be saved in that way.
The prospective net deficit for 1938
was estimated at $400,000,000.

His Sermons Were Popular
C'OUR years ago the Protestant
^ church in Germany was thought
to be nearing the end; under the
Nazi government it had become
only an organization to officiate at
weddings, christenings, funerals
and the like. It has recently under-
gone such a revival at the hands
of one Rev. Martin Niemoeller,
leader of the Confessional synod,
and his supporters that of late the
churches were overcrowded. Rev.
Mr. Niemoeller fought to keep poli-
tics out of the church.
Lately the fiery minister had been
examined almost every week by
prosecuting attorneys in Berlin.
Then at last he was arrested by the
secret police and taken to jail while
his wife and six children looked on.
He was charged with “stirring up
hatred in his speeches against lead-
ing persons in the Nazi state and
movement.” The police raided his
offices and seized many documents
and about $12,000. Said an official
communique after Rev. Mr. Nie-
moeller’s arrest:
“He has spread untrue reports
about measures taken by Nazi au-
thorities in order to incense the
population. He also called for re-
sistance to state laws and decrees.
His statements were part of the
steady fare of foreign newspapers
hostile to Germany.”
Ford Tests Labor Board
#T' HE national labor relations
board is receiving its most ex-
acting test in the hearings at De-
troit on the United Automobile
Workers’ union complaint that the
Ford Motor company is guilty of
unfair labor practices. The U. A.
W. U. is a C. I. O. affiliate; Ford is
opposed to the unions.
It was expected that the hearings
might take a long time and may
eventually reach the United States
Supreme court. After the hearings
in Detroit a board examiner will
draw up “intermediate findings”
and send them to the NLRB in
Washington, accompanied by a

transcript of the evidence and briefs
of both sides. The board will then
either order the Ford Motor com-
pany to “cease and desist” its un-
fair practices or dismiss the union’s
charges. Appeal may be taken to
the United States circuit court of
appeals, which has the power of
enforcement which NLRB lacks.
The case may reach the Supreme
court if the Constitution is involved.
One of the allegedly unfair practices
to which the U. A. W. A. objects is.
distribution of anti-union literature
by the Ford company to its em-
ployees. The company charges that
a denial of this would violate con-
stitutional guaranties of free speech
and a free press.

'Compromise1 Takes Bow
CENATOR M. M. LOGAN, Dem-
^ ocrat, of Kentucky, presented the
“compromise” version of the Pres-
ident’s Supreme court bill to the
senate, apparently
with the blessings of
Majority Leader |||lr
Joseph T. Robinson ||r
and the chief execu-
amendment to and ^
substitute for the old ||pf
Ashurst administra- ’
draft authorizes ap-
pointment of one Wm£ A. . J
new justice to t h e
court each year for Sen.Robinson
every justice remaining on the court
after reaching the age of seventy-
five years. Under its provisions the
President would be permitted to
name one new justice this year (be-
sides filling the vacancy left by the
retirement of Justice Willis Van
Devanter) and' assure him of at
least one new appointment to the
court in each remaining year of his
present term of office. All of the ap-
pointments would hinge on the de-
cision of justices seventy-five or
older on retirement.
The opposition immediately
charged that the new bill was as
offensive as the old one. Sen. Burton
K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
said: “The compromise is not going
to get through. The new bill is just
as objectionable as the old, because
it seeks to pack the Supreme court
just like the original bill did.” Sen.
Edward R. Burke, Democrat, Neb-
raska, said the 43 senators would
vote against any kind of measure
that would increase the Supreme
court.
Some of the other provisions of
the new bill were:
Authority for 20 additional ap-
pointments to lower courts in
the event that judges over seventy
fail to retire. The old bill would
have permitted 50 new appointments
altogether.
Speedy intervention by the gov-
ernment in cases involving consti-
tutionality of federal laws, and
speedy appeal to the Supreme court.

ease at the Los Angeles general
hospital in 1934 enabled him to iso-

Hoiv to Get a Hearing
By ROBERT MERRILL
T> ETWEEN the Supreme court
-D in Washington and a citizen
on the Pacific coast an entire
continent intervenes. But when
it comes to the protection of his
Constitutional rights, distance
means nothing. His case in a
local state or federal court may-
reach the Supreme court of the
United States by steps easily
and quickly taken.
How can he get his problem be-
fore our National Umpire for a de-
cision? Here, step by step, is the
method:
Suppose, for example, a state
should pass a law making a home-
owner liable for the cost of repav-
ing the street from curb to curb in
front of his house.
The home-owner claims that this
is a municipal expense, which the
city should pay out of its general
fund.
Appeals From State Court.
The city ignores his objection,
files a lien against his property and
threatens to sell him out for non-
payment.
In the local state court the citi-
zen’s attorney moves to strike off
the lien. The court, relying on the
state statute, refuses. The home-
owner appeals to the Supreme court
of the state, which dismisses his ap-
peal and declares that either the
citizen must pay or have his house
sold over his head.
Am I through?” asks the home-
owner.
“Certainly not,” replies his- attor-
ney. “We’ll find out what the Su-
preme court of the United States
thinks about this.”
So the home-owner’s attorney
sends to Washington a short printed
petition, stating the facts, giving the
decision of the state court and ask-
ing the United States Supreme court
to order the state court to send its
record for review.
State Court Supplies Record.
When this petition reaches Wash-
ington every one of the Supreme
court justices separately examines
it and also the printed answer of the
lawyer for the state. At the jus-
tices’ conference on the following
Saturday morning, if all or a ma-
jority of them think there is sub-
stance in the citizen’s claim, they
grant the petition—and the record
comes up from the state court.
The home-owner’s case is then
set down on the argument list. Law-
yers on both sides file briefs. When
the case is about to be reached for
argument all parties are notified.
The citizen’s own attorney either ap-
pears for him or entrusts the argu-
ment to an attorney in Washington.
The home-owner doesn’t have to ap-
pear at all.
The case is now argued. The
justices go into a huddle over it.
After thorough consideration the de-
cision is announced. The first pav-
ing of ‘the road, it may find, pecu-
liarly benefits the citizen’s proper-
ty, and therefore the cost can be
assessed against it. But subsequent
repavings of the space between
curbs are a community responsibil-
ity, and must be paid for out of the
tax money which all the citizens
contribute.
State Court Reversed.
The judgment of the state Su-
preme court is therefore reversed,
and the record is sent back across
the continent with instructions to
strike off the lien.
If, in such a case, the citizen has
been a non-resident of the state in
which this property was situated he
might have sought relief in the local
United States district court instead
of in the state court.
If he had lost his case both there
and in the local United States
circuit court of appeals, his subse-
quent approach to the Supreme
court of the United States would
have been the same as in the appeal
from the state court just described.
The great help to the citizen in
any such typical case lies in the
fact that the final decision is in the
hands of an umpire, concerned with
constitutional rights.
In this imaginary paving case,
the mayor and city council could
see only community advantage in
making the householder go on pay-
ing for successive repavings. For-
tunately the Supreme court exists
to see both sides of a picture and
so to insure the citizen against loss
of his property otherwise than by
the due process of law guaranteed
to him by the Fifth and the Four-
teenth amendments to the Constitu
tion. /
