With early return of commercial operations assured as postoflice department officials prepared to open numerous bids on seventeen routes, the air mail controversy continued today on many fronts. In a last-minute rush, participated in by representatives of all the companies whose mail contracts were canceled two months ago, and bv many newly-created concerns, a total of forty-five scaled envelopes were deposited with postal officials before the deadline at 4 .10 Thursday. Because some may contain bids for more than orje route it is likely that the total number of proposals may exceed forty-five. Opening of the bids was to start at noon today in (he presence of Postmaster-General James A Farley, Harlloe Branch and Clinton B. Eilenberger, assistant postmastersgeneral, and an imposing array of legal representatives not only of the postoffice department, but of the justice department as well. There were other important developments: 1. Resumption of consideration of the McKellar-Black bill was to occupy the senate today with Senator Simeon D. Fess (Rep., O.i scheduled to open the attack. 2. Members of the house postal committee were studying provisions of anew air mail bill introduced by their chairman. Representative James Mead <Dem , N. Y.i to carry out the Roosevelt recommendations for one-year competitive bids and appointment of a commission to study the entire field of aviation, but containing no discriminating provisions to bar companies whose contracts were canceled. 3. Senator Warren Austin <Rep., Vt.i, was to question Mr. Branch before the special investigating committee in an effort to develop further evidence that independents conducted an intensive campaign to force cancellation. 4. Senator Pat McCarran (Dem., Nev.t was trying to arrange a conference with President Roosevelt in an effort to obtain support for his bill to eliminate all bidding for future air mail contracts by having a commission issue certificates of convenience and necessity such as are given railroads by the I. c.

4 ELIGIBLE TO RETIRE FROM HIGHEST COURT None Expected to Resign, However, During Reign of Roosevelt. BV S. 11. BURROW, Time* Special Writer. WASHINGTON, April 20. Four of the nine justices of the United States supreme court are eligible for retirement. But the chances are that none will quit of his own free will—unless ill health is the cause —while were going through the “Roosevelt revolution.” Too much is at stake, and things are too interesting One of the four who might retire is a liberal, the other three are conservatives. Replacement of the liberal with a conservative would upset the present alignment of the whole court. It might even upset the recovery program. Replacement of a conservative with a liberal might end those five-to-four decisions by which two phases of the program recently squeaked through. Can Retire at 70 The law provides that when a supreme court justice has served ten years and is 70 years of age he is eligible to retire. He doesn’t have to quit unless he wants to. The four now eligible for retirement are Justices Brandeis, Van Devanter, Mcßeynolds and Sutherland. Chief Justice Hughes is the fifth member past 70 years of age, but he hasn't served ten years yet. Here is how the court was divided in the Minnesota mortgage and New York milk cases. Upholding these laws in decisions which were interpreted as also upholding the Roosevelt emergency legislation were Hughes, Brandeis Stone, Roberts and Cardoza. Denying the validity of the laws were Van Devanter, Mcßeynolds Sutherland and Butler. Silence Gives Dissent There have been recurrent rumors that Justices Mcßeynolds, Van Devanter and Brandies would retire, but just as often as these reports recur they are denied by complete silence from the men involved. These reports have resulted, also, in various “suggestions” for nominees to succeed them. Senator Joe Robinson, Democratic floor leader, often is mentioned; and so are Senator Hiram W. Johnson and Felix Frankfurter, liberal lawyer of Harvard. In about a year, the supreme

MODEL GETS WEALTH OF ARTIST EMPLOYER Lived With Painter Who Ended Life When He Couldn't Wed Her. F V T nitrfi PrcM LONDON. April 20 A socielv girl artist model, daughter of a Sussex vicar, today inherited the entire fortune of the painter for whose love she defied convention. The girl is Margaret St. John Juries, who was bequeathed the $75,000 estate of John Martin Birkerton. a well-known surgeon who turned painter several years ago and won notable success. Mr. Bickerton and Miss James fell deeply in love. His wife promised a divorce, but withdrew at the last moment. Despairing of a legal marriage, Bickerton and the girl took up residence together. So deeply did he feel his inability to marry her that he committed suicide.
