YING for weeks, the scheme to
~ add to the number of justices
of the Supreme court finally choked
its last gasp and left this world. On
a roll-call vote the United States
senate voted to recommit the Rob-
inson substitute for the Presidents
original bill to the judiciary COM
mittee. The vote was 20 to 20, the
most crushing defeat the Presi-
dents legislation has yet suffered
at the hands of house of congress.
In an agreement made at a ses-
sion Of the judiciary committee ear
lier, it had been decided to let the
opposition senators write their own
bill, an innocuous measure for "ju-
dicial reform" not dealing in any
way with the Supreme court. Sena-
tor Barkley, the new majority lead
er, attempted to save the Presi-
dents face by having the bill left on
the calendar. but he never had a
chance. When the roll-call came,
