Fortnight ago the Roosevelt Administration ducked its first opportunity for a clean-cut test of NRA's constitutionality when at the Government's request the Supreme Court dismissed the case against Lumberman William Elbert Belcher, who had deliberately refused to obey the Lumber Code (TIME, April 8). This procedure practically demoralized NRA's personnel, precipitated a nation-wide epidemic of petty code violations and put the Government in the equivocal position of asking for an extension of the NIRA without daring to risk a showdown on the Act's basic validity. To hush critical cries...
...septuagenarians of the South, Federal Judge William Irwin Grubb of Birmingham, whose decisions are very rarely reversed by higher courts. Last October, the Government brought Lumberman Belcher to trial before Judge Grubb on charges of paying lower wages and working his men longer hours than NRA's lumber code allowed. Defendant Belcher readily admitted the facts but argued that the Recovery Act as applied to him was unconstitutional for 61 different reasons. Judge Grubb upheld him (TIME, Nov. 12).

"We are making the first move to withdraw from the code authority," said Chairman Lippa. "The code has not served any useful purpose...
...code the number of rules is reduced from 65 to 39. After March 31, "dummy" will be an obsolete term, to be replaced by "declarer's partner." Furthermore, that partner will for the first time be permitted to speak up, not only to call attention to a "defender's" irregularity, but also to discuss questions of "fact or law," reply to "proper questions." Theoretically, the new rules make possible a bid of eight: when a player makes an insufficient bid-such as seven diamonds to overcall seven hearts-his opponents may insist that he make his bid sufficient...
