'Nine Old Men' Surprise With Wagner Decision
Washington, April 12 — (UP) — Validation of the Wagner Labor Relations act by the supreme court today in decisions on five test cases all of historical importance, called forth varied comments from legislators and members of the administration.
Court Plan Rebels See Death of Measure In Action
Many government officials doubt that any of the cases would be upheld. The court split 5-4 on all but one of the cases. It was unanimous in holding that the act applied to interstate commerce transportation and served broaden the constitution's interstate commerce clause.
Although the administration supporters thought favorable decisions would have no effect on the drive to pass the court bill, opponents asserted they would help to swing those heretofore on the fence against the plan. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings commented curtly that "for more reasons than one the decision of today shows the wisdom and soundness of the President's plan."
Other comment on the effect of the decision included: Senator or Harry Truman, D. Mo; "It looks like the supreme court has reformed." Senator Royal S. Copeland, D. New York: "They blow the President's plan out of water and demonstrate it is quite unreasonable,"uff. R. Michigan, chairman of house of representatives conference: "The President's packing the court bubble is completely punctured."
Leaders of the congressional rebellion against President Roosevelt's supreme court reorganization program held validation of the national labor relations act today as the death blow to the plan.

"I only hope that I shall be able to live up to the burden of responsibility which the award seems to demand. The burden whose weight is considerable.

Sobbing Saxophones Survive Smash to Swing In Synccaped Session
A crushed bass fiddle, caved in saxophones, and badly dented trumpets failed to stop Loleu Kahn and his boys, who evidently believe that the show must go on, from playing in Adelle last Saturday night.
While going down highway 40 west of Topeka Saturday evening they were forced from the slab by a car driving onto the highway from a side road. In taking to the tiddle to avoid hitting the car, the boys flattened a couple of road markers and overturned the trailer containing their instruments, scattering them all over a farmer's front yard.
Fortunately the trailer tires remained intact. The boys roped what remained of the instruments onto the

Stevens Will Lecture On Stratosphere Trip
Will Illustrate Capture Of World's Most Precious Air
Capturing the world's most precious samples of air taken from the stratosphere will be one of the main features related by Major A W. Stevens, Commander of the National Geographic Society-U. S.
Nov. 11, 1935, Major Stevens ae
captain Ovril Anderson, both U. S.

13.71 miles into the stratosphere,

Army Air Corps Expedition, when he speaks here Thursday.
Two six-gallon specimens, captured at the peak of their record-breaking flight, shrank to less than two quarts on their return. These two quart samples represent the same species that have ever been captured at such a height. The analysis has been undertaken at the National Bureau of Standards by G. M. Shepard. So far the studies indicate that the composition of stratosphere is almost the same as that of air at ground level. Most of the species have been found, but their significance has not yet been established.

Religious Conference To End This Morning
More Than One Hundred Delegates Attend Meetings
The Religious Officers' Training Conference held here this weekend will close today with worship service at 9 o'clock in the Congregational church. Three student talks are scheduled followed by a short discussion by Miss Rose Terlin, chairman of the Economics Commission of the National Intercollegiate Christian Council of New York City. In the opening session of this conference Miss Terlin addressed more than a hundred delegates from colleges in the state.
Speaking on "Alert Leadership", Miss Terlin challenged the young Christian leaders of today to prove the fallacy of the growing belief, especially in Western Europe, that Protestantism has failed. After pointing out and describing the major problems to be met in our own country, Mr Terlin expressed Christian leadership entails "privilege responsibility, and disciplining."
Rev. James Chubb, pastor of the Methodist church in Baldwin, spoke on "The Responsibility of a Leader," at the first general session yesterday morning in Spooner-Thayer museum.

Rev. H. Lee Jones showed the film, "The Tale of Two Rivers," to 125 persons last evening at the Estes banquet in the Union cafeteria.

Bill Fusion, was toastmaster the banquet, and Ellen Payne, Y.W.C.A. secretary, was songleader.
In the afternoon, Miss Ternil spoke again, this time on "Unifying a Campus Program." Miss Ternil stressed the need for the different Protestant groups over the country and to develop national policy and co-operate in program.
A party was held last night for the young people in the Parish house of the Congregational church. Friday a mixer was held for the dela-
either Glenn Cunningham and Archie San Romani were completed yesterday by H. W, Hargis, Kansas track coach, and he was still working last night in an endeavor to add Luigi Becalli, the Italian runner, to the list.
Definite announcement of Becall's plans will be made to Coach Hargiss this morning.
Anxious To Return Home
Becali has been in the United States for several months, and is anxious to return home. His bookings here are under the direction of Dan Ferris, secretary of the A.U.A. and chairman of the foreign relations committee. Twice today Coach Hargiss was in telephone conversation with Mr. Ferris, who was in New Haven attending an A.U.A. swimming meet. He said that he had met with Penn Relais next week if he could do his mile on Friday, but that the Penn Relais management was rather insistent that Becalli race on Saturday. In the event they are not able to agree, Becali may sail for Italy today.
Mr. Ferris told Coach Hargiss that upon his return to New York this evening he would endeavor to persuade Becali to make the trip to Kansas. He added that Becali, who does not speak very fluent English, is reluctant to make a trip this far from New York.
San Romani Will Receive Medal
Added to Mr. Ferris's efforts is a telegram to Boccali by Dr. D. M. Nigro of Kassam City, urging the Italian runner to come here so that his countrymen of this section may see him run. Doctor Nigro, while in telephone communication with the Relys management, arranging for the presentation of the Coronation medal to San Romani, offered to send the wire to Boccali.
The gold medal, significant of the esteem and affection of the Italian people for San Romani, is to be presented by Doctor Nigro. He said the Italian consult at St. Louis will be invited to attend, and that in the presentation party will be Anthony Mingini, mayor of Frontenae, San Romani's home town, and a number from Kansas City, Mo.
If Becalli* comes, the Kansas Relays mile will bring together again
