Committee after a couple Of weeks
debate, or to postpone acton indefi-
nitely In the Senate by a record vote.
Senator Burke Of Nebraska is among
those strongly inclined to move to re-
commit the bill. believing they would
be able to carry the motion and thus
take the bill from the Senate calendar
hostile committee from which it would
not again emerge.
Reaction to Rejection Favorable.
Senator Burke said yesterday there
had been a tremendous reaction to
the Judiciary Committees adverse re-
port on the court bill and that re-
quests for copies were coming in by
the thousand. He said the American
Bar Association was considering plac-
ing a copy in the hands Of every law
yer in the country, believing 1t to be
a document of the greatest impor-
tance. A committee OF clergymen also
was considering sending a copy to each
of the clergy throughout the country,
he said.
Commenting on the fact that the
minority in the Judiciary Committee
was making no move to file Z report
supporting the Presidents bill, Burke
said:
The very fact that no minority re-
port supporting the bill is to be filed
is confession that even those Sena-
tors who are ready to vote for it do
not believe the measure IS worthy Of
support. To me this failure to make
minority report is indicative Of what
Senators really think about the bill"
While the court bill still occupies
the attention of the administration
leaders and the Senators to q great ex-
tent, there is q f1rst-class row in the
Senate over the relief appropriation
bill. Senator Robinson's amendment
to the bill. restricting Federal aid for
work relief projects to localities which
are willing to put up rs per cent Of
the cost, provided they are able to do
so, has caused a considerable division
among Senate Democrats. His speech

get around, he finished junior high
school with standing of second among

This devastating enemy. infantile
paralysis, f1oored l7-year -old Morgan
Brooks Harvey 1,ve years ago, but he
got up so full Of fight that you can
well believe nothing in life will ever
daunt him.
While other boys and girls were
romping through the school corri-
dors. he was pushing himself from
class to class in a wheel chair.
But for four years-his three years
in Eastern and his last year OF junior
high school--he has not missed
day and has not been tardy 4 single
time-a record OF which any boy or
girl without handicap might be proud.
To Go to Night School.
Morgan Harvey pushed himself
through high school, and now he's
pushing on to other goals.
He plans, he explained yesterday
at his home, 2lo Quackenbos street,
to get a job in bank and take a
night course In q business college.
He wants to be = certified public
accountant. And any one Of his
schoolmates will offer heavy odds that
he'll be one-and one OF the best.
Morgan was stricken with the
dreaded disease shortly before Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was elected Presi-
dent. The boys mother, Mrs. Walter
H. Harvey, explained that the Presi-
dents upward struggle from the same
Gripping scourge was an inspiration
to Morgan in those first bleak DAYS.
When he began to get around"
said Mrs. Harvey, "he said. Well, I
guess If Roosevelt could be bowled
over by this thing and still get to
be President, can 60 through school
and make something Of myself"

Violently against the court bill, like
Senators Burke of Nebraska and
Wheeler Of Montana. The invitations
have been sent out by Senate Leader
Robinson, who also is president OF the
Jefferson Island Club. These invita-
tions fix the day on which the particu-
lar member of Congress is expected to
visit the island, give him all the direc-
tlons how to get to the island, and
mention prominently the fact that
President Roosevelt is to be the clubs
days. No mention is made of impor-
tant conferences. The Democratic
leaders, however, are staging a great
show OF party harmony.
