ton of four conflicting proposals
for joining the tribunal.
Revival of the court issue was
practically assured when Republi-
can "irreconciliable" members Of
the committee reached a tentative
agreement with Democratic League
OF Nations advocates to report to
the Senate "some proposal for
American entry. The "irrecon-
ciliables," however. were divided
over the best method, a few fol.
lowing the leadership Of Senator
Lodge Rep0 Of Massachusetts,. who
proposed a brand, new court, en-.
tirely separate from the league.
WadswOrth Plan
Other "irreconciliables," headed by
Senator Wadsworth Rep.) Of New
York, favored a compromise plan
by which the United States could

from the League. This plan, drafted
by Senator Pepper Rep.) of Penn
sylvania, with the aid of other com.
mittee members, was the most fov.
ored.
Democratic members, favored any
or all Of the plans in the hope Of
bringing the proposal itself before

Of the committee have sought to

Wadsworth predicted one Of the

Of the committee.

CHANGES
PARDON CASE
VIEWPOINT
Doubts Whether Coolidge Had
Right to Free Grossman,
Held for Contempt

Attorney General Stone IL some
what doubtful" as to the constitu-
tional right of the President to
pardon or parole persons convicted
Of contempt in Federal courts.
This became known today In con-
nection with the Attorney Generals
investigation Of the Philip Gross
man case In Chicago, where Gross
man was paroled by President Cool
idge following contempt convection.
and where three Federal iudxes
brought about Cheeseman's rearrest
on the grounds the President ex-
ceeded his authority.
The opinion on the Grossman case
was received today by Mr.. Stone.
New Points IN Case,
In spite Of his first impression
that unQuestionably the President
has the authority to exercise Glenn
ency IN contempt cases and the
practically unanimous agreement of
his subordinates on this point, Stone
said today that there are some
entirely new points raised in the
Grossman case.
The Attorney General. who frank.
~ desires the case to go to the
United States Supreme Court, de-
clared that while the Federal Con.
stitution provides that the President
may pardon all offenses against the
United States the offense of con.
tempt against Federal courts has q
different aspect than the ordinary
crimes against the United States. !"
Stone said he had not decided
whether the Department Of Justica
would enter the case when It goes
to the Supreme Court. AS a rule.
he pointed out, 1t is the duty Of
the Department Of Justice to seek
to uphold the rulings of Federal
courts. On the other hand, It has
q like function in supporting PreSi.
Dental actions.
Punishment for contempt, It was
pointed out, is a prerogative of
courts to maintain their dignity and
enforce decisions.
Similar to Craig Case.
The Craig case In New York
comes under the same category as
the Grossman action, in Stones
opinion.
Attorney General stone today
was studying the ruling Of the
Chicago Federal judges In the case.
He said whether or not the action
can go to the Supreme Court is
dependent upon the manner Of its
origin. He pointed out that the
Federal judges evidently acted fol-
lowing formal demand upon them
for Cheeseman's re-arrest.
