(COURT ISSUE

White House Strategy to Be Mapped at Island Powwow of Party.

By THOMAS L. S1 ULES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 24.—President Roosevelt in his week-end conferences with Congressional Democrats at Jefferson Island will face this important question: Does he want a Supreme Court reform bill most, or would he prefer the rest of his legislative program, major features of which are a wagehour bill, a farm bill, a farm-tenant bill, a housing bill and Government reorganization? The argument is as follows: If the Supreme Court bill is thrown into the legislative muddle before other important measures, the result likely will be prolonged debate, possibly a filibuster, with other bills thrown over to next session. If the Court bill is delayed, then it can be taken up afterward and the President can make a fight for the best compromise with no danger to his other objectives. Senate Majority Leader Robinson has indicated thé Court bill will be called up next week, but this is subject to the President's approval. No acceptable compromise has been worked out by Senator Robinson, to whom this task was delegated several days ago. A compromise has been suggested to call for submission of a Constitutional amendment to the people, probably for compulsory retirement of Supreme Court justices at 75. A proposal was made today by Rep. Pettengill (D. Ind.), who said he would suggest to House leaders that a ballot box be set up at Jefferson Island and a secret vote be taken there during the three-day visits of House and Senate members on whether the Court bill should be taken up at this session or postponed.
