History Books Popular Meanwhile, almost everybody in Washington who can read is digging into history books and quoting from them to fit the side of the argument which he espouses. A parade moves in and out of the vast library of Congress. Congressmen who come by oratory naturally and have never bothered to read a lot of books are finding themselves, in self-defense, almost | forced to look up the precedents. | Pretty little dolls you'd never sus- | pect have learned that the Dred | Scott case is not a murder mystery, | and the fellow at the soda fountain knows that Marbury vs. Madison is | not the same as Louis vs. Braddock, | though he gets tired of hearing about it. So do secretaries of Congressmen | who are busy scanning great piles of mail. Justices In Glass

: Nor is it much fun for the cen- | ter of all the controversy. For the | nine men are living now in a glass house. They are actors in the capital's biggest attraction. As they go | solemnly about their business, every | motion, every change of expression, | every whispered consultation is | avidly watched by hundreds. President Roosevelt, meanwhile, ! argues with Doubting Thomases | among the Democrats in the friendlv atmosphere of his office. He has a few in every day. He would like | their support. He tells why he se- | lected this particular way to meet the blockade of the Court against | the New Deal. Nor does he overlook | reminders to others who have po- | litical influence with the doubters. | Suspicion is not lacking that there | is some method in his day-to-day submission of other measures which | Congress, he knows, can not get | around to for a long time yet. He! lays on Congress’ door-step, with | plenty of publicity, measures dear | to the hearts of the people.

Mr. Landon Agreed

The constitutionality of some of | them may be in question. They have | | that interstate regulatory aspect at | which the Supreme Court has] frowned so often. But even Alf Landon agreed when | he met Mr. Roosevelt at Des Moines that drought control was a matter | for the national Government. And | Mr. Landon also urged crop in- | surance. The Court will block these things? But the people want them, says | Mr. Roosevelt. There on the doorstep, a constant | reminder as Congress debates Su- | preme Court reform day after day, he has laid them, row on row. And in reserve, to be laid alongside in proper time, is a minimum- | wage and maximum-hour bill. |

Col. and Mrs. Charles A.

Leaving London they skimmed over Europe, touched Italy, northern Africa and southwestern Asia, keeping each new destination a secret.

D) reported likely to speak against the Court proposals, Administration | leaders worked to swing uncommit- | ted Senators and Representatives | who have been generally associated | | with the Liberal Bloc to support | of the measure. They were aided | by the Progressive and Farmer- | Labor Blocs in the House and by | Senator La Follette (Prog. Wis.). | Senator Wheeler's attack, designed ! | to muster liberal strength, was pac- | | ticularly bitter against what he | | termed an effort to create a “political court.” | He warned the President that he! should “trust the people” that the first Roosevelt selection for Attorney General, the late Thomas J. Walsh, never would “have advised his President to pack the Supreme Court.”

Defended by Robinson

His speech followed a vigorous defense of the President's plan in Senate debate yesterday. The American Federation of Investors, denounced tne plan as ‘“revolutionary” in a statement by its president, Pr. Hugh S. Magill. Congressmen debated the issue last night following a vigorous defense of the plan on the Senate floor by Majority Leader Robinson and Senator Ashurst (D. Ariz). Rep. E. E. Cox (D. Ga.) said | that the power of the Court “to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional is a barrier that was set up by the fathers against a wild | and tyrannous Congress. It is the | people’s best defense against the | despoiler of human rights.”

Termed “Lust for Power”

Rep. U. S. Guyer (R. Kas.) described the proposals as the result | of “a lust for power and the impa- | tience over restraint of a chief ex- | | ecutive who seems to think that his | [ote re-election was a mandate to | carry out any idea he happens to entertain.” Senator Robinson's strong defense | of the President's plan centered on | his declaration that, since there had been general approval of the program as it affected the lower courts, | there was no reason why there should be any objection to applying the same rule to the Supreme Court, He charged that there was a strongly organized “force seeking to | control every publicity agency in the | United States to cry down this plan.” Senator Ashurst defended the plan as “mild” and compared it to court changes brought about under past Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln,

Wagner Act Ruling

Speculation continued in Congress over whether the Administration's general legislative program might be held up untii after action on the | President's court plan. Usually reliable sources indicated that it was most likely that decisions on advancing the legislative measures would be guided by developments, including the Supreme Court decision expected next month on the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Suggestions that legislation—such as farm measures and labor proposals—would be delayed were discounted by Administration leaders. but elsewhere it was pointed out that Congress so far has progressed slowly on its legislative program.

Governor Appeals to Farmers

Although the Farm Bloc originally demanded that the State take over all the counties’ cocial security burdens and pay each teacher $800 annually, the Governor told House | and Senate Democratic caucuses | that this would unbalance the budget. Farm spokesmen appeared satisfied with the compromise proposal that the State take over half the counties’ social security costs and raise the teacher payments from $500 to $600. The Governor signed four minor bills and two proposed constitutional amendments this week. These measures would: A. Extend the Township Commiseries Law until May 1. Give county commissioners a of eminent domain to acquire | sewer right-of-ways for public { buildings.

| Prison Bill Signed | |

| C. Prohibit the sale on the open | market of out-of-state prison made goods. D. Waive the penalty for delinquent property tax assessments for one year.

Recess Taken in G. M. Wage Conference

Ry United Press DETROIT, Feb. 20.—Possibility that collective bargaining negotia« tions between General Motors Corp. and the United Automobile Workers* Union may continue for several weeks instead of the 10 days origin= | ally planned was seen today as | conferences were recessed until Monday. Conferees, satisfied with the vapid success in ending post-strike labor difficulties which arose this week in General Motors plants in St. Louis and Oshawa, Ont, were understood to be prepared to continue with leisurely discussion. On the conference table will be placed demands of the automobile union for better wages, seniority, recognition, abolition of piece work and speedup, and shorter working hours. Thus far, it was learned, the matter of handling grievances has been discussed. Some of the conferees on hoth sides are prepared to compromise in their views about a plan for senior=ity. The union representatives favor a system of straight seniority based on length of service, while General Motors approves a plan suggested by the National Labor Relations Board providing preference to skilled workers and men with dee péndents. Meantime, officials of the vast aue tomotive corporation, anxious for a return to top-speed production after the paralyzing 44-day strike which ended more than a week ago, ane nounced they hoped to have all 235,« 000 employees back on jobs by the end of next week. At present 222,000 employees are at work in the corporation’s 69 plants,
