Two Or Tin 1 r VsMM-iale Jtt ices Known T > Have Considered Resigning From Court WASHINGTON, May 11. (UP) — . Early re agnation of one or more Supreme court justices and abandonment of President Roosevelt’s hill to expand the high bench were advanced today e.s a possible way out of the

judiciary dilemma.

Known definitely was that some legislators are counselling delay in the hope of resignations Fairly well established was I he fact that two or three associate justices had discussed retirement before Mr. Roosevelt bombshelled his court pro-

posal last Feb. 3.

Rumored today without confirmation was the imminent resignation of Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis. One report said Brandeis would resign before the court recesses in tiie last week of this month or tho

first week of June.

The strategy of delay has Senate adherents but is most vigorously advocated in tiie House when' Mr. Roosevelt’s bill will go when the Senate gets through with it. Tiie resignation rumors and talk of delay were accompanied by three other developments in the court controversy. They were: 1. Close observers of the court predicted tl'-it tiie tribunal would hand down three <!' i Dions on validity of the old age pension provisions of the Social Security program. The ruling is expected next Monday. 2. Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., opponent of the administration reorganization plan, proposed a compromise requiring retirement of justices at 75 and a 7 to 2 vote to invalidate

act’s o'rCafig’fcwr"

3. Four senators attacked the President’s program at a Philadelphia mass meeting sponsored by tho Citizens’ Supremo Court committee

of defenders.

Senate leaders, meanwhile, are outwar lly confident but privately anxious over tho fate of the judiciary plan. Senat" judiciary opposition is raising a mighty hurdle. Any resignation from the bench might become a precedent for others. Departure of even a single conservative justice probably would retire the Roosevelt court bill to Hie darkest corner of the most obscure Senate pigeon hole. Associate Justice Brandeis is 80, the oldest member of tho court. Early in this session Congress enacted retirement legislation permitting justices to retire on full pay, 1 $20,000 annually. The United Press learned today of a campaign to hold the court bill in , Senate committee pending court adloiirmnent Interested legislators said that strategy would avoid embarressment for all concerned if the court problem ultimately is to lie solved by resignations instead of legislation. The capital heard weeks ago that two or three justices had discussed retirement with their intimates. One or more were represented as feeling that enactment of a guaranteed re-Iimiient-pay law would permit them

But those dis-

cir aions were prior to Feb. 5 when Mi Ri evtdt startled Congress, the c urt, and the country with his plan to idd six justices to the bench to upplant or assist tiie half dozen members who are 70 or more years

of age.
