QUICK RECOVERY IS PREDICTED
New York. James Truslow
Adams, who says his prediction of
the Wall street crash In 1928 was
"very unpopular," now sees the pos
sibility of a "stupendous boom" in
America.
"I look to see recovery within the
next two years, and possibly within
one," said the banker-turned-his
torian today.
"I believe we may be on the thres
hold of a new frontier a frontier
of scientific discovery which may
mean a stupendous boom. I can't
predict that; but it's a possibility.
"The conquest of America's last
frontier the West; gold, cattle,
wheat, timberTwhich created so much
national wealth and made so many
fortunes may be repeated when
science opens new vistas for us."

Moratorium Law !
is Under Fire in 1
Supreme Court
Applications by Owners Whose Land
Has Been Sold Raise Issue
Say Law Unconstitutional
1
Two applications have been filed
with the supreme court, one in Lin
coln Safe Deposit company vs. Carl-
sen, from Cheyenne county, and Wal
lace vs. Clements, from Cuming coun
ty, asking that the court direct a
stay of all further proceedings un
der the terms of the moratorium act
until March 1, 1935. Objection at
tack the law as unconstitutional.
In the Carlsen case the mortgagor
asks that any order in the matter
follow the terms of the mortgage
moratorium with respect to applica
tion of whatever Income is received
to the payment of taxes, interest and
the like and to require the preserva
tion of the premises.
In the Clements case the court is
asked to make what orders It deems
necessary so that the titleholder of
the land, where his home has been
for years, may be given a chance to
redeem the property, and also to
make an order for a two-fifths crop
rent."
Objections have been filed in the
latter case, which raise the question
of constitutionality of the law on
two grounds, that it impairs the
obligation of contracts and that it
takes property without due process
of law. It is also contended that
the moratorium law has no applica
tion to the controversy since the saie
of the land was confirmed before the
law became effective, and the law
does not cover confirmations. It is
further contended that under the
terms of the law only the district
court, where the action was begun,
has the power to fix the terms.
If the supreme court upholds the
two last named objections, its deci
sion would not go to the constitu
tionality of the moratorium law. Sim
ilar issues have been raised in a num
ber of district courts.
