The farmer was the first full

Green Leaf Villa To
Be Made Into School
(By William Oafimd)
' Through the generosity of klu
Huth Richards, a school tor pupils
from the lowest grades up through
college entrance requirements, to be
operated according to a plan worked
out by Miss Virginia G. Gildersleeve,
i dean of Barnard College, New York,
' while visiting Miss Richards in Camden
recently, will be started Monday
at Greenleat Villa, 1S07 Broad street,
under the direction of Mrs. J. B.
Zemp.
Greenleaf Villa is a large, beautiful
and historic mansion ot the Charleston
type of architecture, thrhe stories
high, constructed of solid brick,
containing fourteen rooms, with a
large outbuilding and spacious gardens
and grounds. It Is the property
of Miss Ruth Richards, of New York,
for many years a winter resident oj
Camden. MIbb Richards now lives in
her home in Brevard Place. Previously,
for a number of years, she had op-1
erated the Greenleaf Villa along the I
linos of the Villa Margherita at Char-1
leston.
Miss Richards. 1b donating the Villa
rent free to the school, which will occupy
the Becond floor and with pos-1
slbly u teacher or teachers having J
living quarters on the third floor. The
flrst floor has been given free of rent
to Mrs. Kennedy Blakeney and Mrs. I
E. D. Blakeney for purposes of a tea
room and gathering place for parents
of the school children and others.
For the past fifteen years Mtb. J.l
B. Zemp has conducted a small private
school both at her home and at
the Kirkwood Hotel, and the pupils
which Mrs. Zemp now has will form
the nucleus of the new school. ^ 1
Dean Glldersleeve of Barnard College
has worked out a plan by which
children of wiuter residents of Camden
who come from schools else-1
where, whether for a short period of
time or for the whole winter season,
will carry on their work In the Greenleaf
Villa school exactly as they did
In the schools from which they came, I
so that their- residence in Camden L
will give these children the Baffle instruction
and school-credits which
they would have received at home. |
Winter residents and permanent
residents of C&mden who have learn-1
ed of the plans for the new school I
are unanimously of the opinion that}
this school will fill a long-felt Want, I
and that it should attract to Camden
many winter visitors who have children
of school age. j

Supreme Court Kills
Agricultural Plans
Washington, Jan. 6.?The AAA met
the fate of NHA today in the supreme
eourt. /
In a momentous six to three decl Ion,
the tribunal killed the extraordinary
New Deal farm relief plau under
which over a Million dollars has
been paid to men of the soil since
May, 1983.
Justice Huberts gravely read the
majority opinion. The act, even as
amended last August, was held an
"luvuslon of state rights" "and its taxes
beyond the "generul welfare" clause
of the constitution on which the government
relied.
Iustices Stone, llraudles and Curdozu
dissented.
The administration planned councils
at once to meet the setback. None
disputed the tremendous potential offeet
on the presidential campaign.
Senator McNary, the Republican
leader, immediately projected his
twice-vetoed plan to make the tariff
effective for farming communities!
The packed court room was tense
and silent as the historic opinion was
delivered. The justices seemed calm.
"The suggestion of coercion finds
no basis in the record," Stone said
In his dissent.
The ruling appeared likely to doom
other farm legislation such as the
Bankhe&d cotton control act, the KerrSinlth
tobacco act, and the Warren
potato law.
These were compulsory laws.
However, the court had not announced
its opinions in those cases.
It took exactly one hour to read the
main opinion and the dissent. When
Stone concluded the tension of the
audience eased, It shifted its collective
position and whispered comments.
Speculation flared us to whether
President Roosevelt might seek reelection
on a platform of sweeping
constitutional change.
Political observers agreed there
would be considerable support In the
farm belt for a constitutional amendment
authorizing resumption of the
flow of benefit checks.
Some suggested an effort might be
made to swing this sentiment behind
a broad amendment giving the government
specific, power over industry
as well as farming. But there was
no immediate wofd of any kind from
the White House. .
The. president'? comment at the
death of NRA, that it had taken the
country back to "horse and buggy"
days, and "his morp recent assurances
that the farm program wcfuld go on
in some form, were recalled at the
capltol.
In his annual message Friday night,
he told the congress it could find
means to protect Its "perogatives."
Since the Roosevelt "horse and bug-,
gy" comment, Mr. Roosevelt has been
careful to'refrain from discussing the ,
possibilities of changing the constitution.
Administration spokesmen
have kept the issue constantly alive
in speeches over the country, however,
contending the people have a
right- to change the b^slc law whenever
they wish. If
the farm legislation were valid,
Roberts said in the majority opinion*'
it would be possible /or congress "to
regulate industry in its most meticulous
forms."
Speculation how the presidential
campaign would be affected stirred
instantly when the news reached the
capltol. Legislators turned in private
from the business of the moment examination
of the 1986-1987 New Deal
budget to mull over the possibilities.
Republican determination on farm
plank alternatives long had been
awaiting the supreme court attitude.
What the New Deal would do was
awaited eagerly.
Secretary Wallace reserved comment
1,1
It. was indicated there would not
be any Immediately from the administration.
Councils of- war ware called.
President Roosevelt learned of the
turn but also had nothing to ?ay.
Roberts said the farm plan was
"not in essence voluntary,"
"It had a compulsory purpose," he
declared.
"If the'act called only for a voluntary
plan'it would be no better.''
Presumably, the government will
seek to find a way to pay approximately
$600,000,000 due on contracts
still unpaid.
Federal lawyer^ have Indicated belief
these can be considered binding
#wwmealal ebligatlons.?It iwnAlns
io be worked out, however.
Watched through a partially open
door. Secretary Wallace did not
change his expression as he glanced
at the fateful message, laid it aside
and. continued his discussion with a
visitor.
" Roberts said the AAA smendtttttl ' $
