ROOSEVELT INTENSTFTES
DRIVE FOR COURT BILL:
FORD is SEEN YIELDING
Some Justices
Plan to Retire,
Senators State
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some Senators predicted today that
one Or more of the Supreme Court IS
so-called conservative" justices-Mc-
Reynolds, Van Devanter, Sutherland
ana Butler-might soon retire.
The legislators cited long-current
rumors that some of the four were
eager to quit, but had clung to their
seats for two reasons:
/. They had no assurance of fixed
retirement pay.
2. Retirement might have resulted
in a realignment of the tribunal be-
cause it would permit President Roose-
velt to name new member.
The first consideration was removed
by the recent passage of the Summers
act, guaranteeing full pay OF $40 900 a
year to retired justices.
Decisions in the Washington
minimum wage and Wagner act cases
upholding administration measures, the
Senators argued, indicate a realign-
ment on the court already has taken
place. In these rulings Justice Roberts
swung away from the conservatives, +"
with whom he previously had sided IN
several 5-to-4 decisions
All but Justice Butler in that group
are over rs. He is II. None has given
any public indication he might leave
the bench.

BACKGROUND
Validity OF national labor rela-
ttor1s act, questioned By some OF
Nations greatest laUyerS and in
duStridlistS, has been in process of
being tested by courts for more
th0n year. For 1UeekS, 1Uhile fight

Victory by fUe-tour margin leaves

leaders expected to give some in
dtcdtion soon as to Uhether they
n1ll look NTH taDor on compromise.
President Roosevelt will hold fast to
his plan to reorganize the Supreme
Court it was indicated with certainty
today, despite yesterdays display of
liberality by that tribunal in upholding
the Wagner labor relations act.
This belief received material support
also from the Capitol as Chairman
AShurst of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee announced prior to the oppo-
eition appearance of Federal Judge
John Clark Knox at todays hearing
on the reform plan, that the PROPOSE
ton will be pressed with greater
vigor"
There will be no compromise" the
chairman declared. I've never heard
of a man retreating when he is win
ming. There will be no compromise
Don't listen to any defeatist siren
singer who says this bill will be with
drawn"
It was regarded as significant that
no Senator supporting the bill, with
the exception of Ashurst, attended
the morning session of the hearing.
The chairman does not question wit
neSses.
Balance of Power Seen.
The mo compromise" attitude also
was reflected at the White House, it
being pointed out that under the
present attitude of the court the bal
ance of power over legislative enact
ments by Congress now rests with one
man, Associate Justice Roberts.
Under such circumstances, con-
siderable doubt still would surround
legislation which the President is
known still to desire IN furtherance of
his social program. Included in this
category Is legislation on minimum
wages, maximum hours and standards
of working conditions, a subject on
which Mr.. Roosevelt soon may submit
a message to Congress. Child labor
regulation also may become a subject
for further action, with the possibility
that congressional committees may
turn their attention to these issues
even before requested by the White
House.
In the legislative picture, also, was
the possibility that efforts will be made
to amend the Wagner act, and to es-
tablish a legislative prohibition against
the sit-doWn strike

HEREDITY IS A CLANCY THIN,

HEREDITY IS A CLANCY THING
 Silver fox farms, of which there are thousands in America, have found how difficult 1t is to obtain real silvers by breeding. When a good looking pair of silvers mate there is only fair chance that a silver will result-very likely the re- suit will be cross and red. The characteristic hair which distin- guisheS the silver is an acquired characteristic. One school of mod c"l-genetics would deny that &C., quired characteristics or characters are inherited or transmitted to off, spring at all, that belief or view is of course extreme. However, nobody knows enough about genetics, evolu- ton, heredity or eugenics to war arbitrary assumptions one way
 lother. It is well to remember
 Cations Flaw" and Mendel'S | w" are merely theories which at- tempt to explain the working of in- heritance. Those who believe in evolution think acquired characters are transmitted.
 This controversy is more familiar In the perennial debate upon the question "Is heredity or environment the more important factor in deter mining character?"
 Guinea pigs, fowls and other anil mals with a comparatively short cycle of life or development and rapid rate of multiplication, are handy material for experiments in genetics. Man is so long-lived and SO slow In development and repro- duction that he is not available for scientific material. Plants that re- produce themselves ip a short sea- son are good material for the gen. eticist. Mendel made his observa- tions chifly on peas he cultivated in his garden. Bacteria, the simplest or lowest form of life (call 1t animal or vegetable as you prefer multiply SO rapidly that @ few weeks study of bacterial cultures in the labora- tory may be comparable with the entire written history of mankind, so far as the science of heredity Is concerned.
 Actual mutations, change from one species into another, are thus read fly observed in meteorological ex- periments. For instance, by means of changed environment, varied cul- ture media, varied conditions of light, moisture, pabulum or food, pure cultures of the common and harmless hay bacillus may undergo mutation into the virulent strepto- coccus in the course of a few weeks.
 Tn practical meteorological work 1t is an established principal that the virulence of a given type or strain of disease germ may be in- creased or decreased by modifying the environment under which the germ is cultured or grown.
 From a guinea-pig's eye view or an Andalusian birds eye view of the question 1t would seem to me that acquired characters or characteris- tics, skill, talent, good traits and bad, noble tendencies and evil are unquestionably transmitted through inheritance-but least of all from parents or grandparents. We must credit nearly everything we inherit to our forebears away back of our grandparents or greatgrandparents, in my opinion. About all our par ents and grandparents can do about
