BY GOULD LINCOLN,

Resentment of Democratic MEM
bers Of the House now supporting
President Roosevelt's plan to increase
the number OF Supreme Court justices
has been smoldering for some days as
result Of the attack made on the bill
recently by Representative Patrick
Henry Drewry, Of Virginia, chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee. This resentment Is based
principally on the fact that the press
copies of the speech carried the nota-
ton that Drewry is chairman of the
Congressional Committee.
Representative Eugene B. Grove Of
Indiana, first vice chairman of the
committee, said today that Drewry
had no right to speak for the COM
mittee; that the committee had no
meeting before he made his address
attacking the court plan, and that
Drewry should have made his ad-
dress, not as committee chairman, but
merely as an individual member Of
the House.
Drewry was out Of the city today,
and his office was unable to say
whether the speech had been put out
as coming from the chairman Of the
committee.
Talk Of Ousting.
Grove said he had heard criticism OF
the Virginia member on the ground
that his address had been put out as
coming from the congressional COM
mittee chairman. There had been no
discussion, Grove said, 80 far as he
knew, of ousting Drewry as chairman
or reprimanding him. He regarded the
matter as "too trivial to invite action"
However, II the committee should hold
meeting to consider the matter,
Grove said he would welcome it.
Majority Leader Rayburn discount
ed completely any idea that action
would be taken against Drewry by the
committee.

BY the Associated Press
President Roosevelt arranged a con-
terence late today with 10 congress
slonal leaders and department aides
70 go over revised budget estimates
Tor the next fiscal year.
Faced with the possibility of a large
deficit, he was expected to emphasize
holding down relief and other costs. in
view OF the material drop in revenues
below last January's estimates.
The revised budget figures were ex-
pected to be reviewed in message
the President will send to Congress
about Wednesday, giving the next fis-
cal years relief estimates.
Bids Opened by Treasury.
The conference was called on the
same day the Treasury began a new
borrowing operation, opening bids on
$50,000,000 OF discount bills issued in
anticipate OF third-quarter income
tax receipts in mid-September.
Secretary Morgenthau said the
weekly S50,000,000 borrowing would
continue Indefinitely. The plan aroused
speculation by Federal financial au-
thorities as to whether further bond
issues would be necessary in June
when 100000. 900 of discount bills
come due, coincident with June Is
tax receipts.
This speculation may be set at rest
by the figures in the Presidents mes
sage to Congress on revised budget
estimates for the 1887 and 1898 fiscal
years.
Invited to the White House confer
ence were Vice-President Garner.
Speaker Bankhead, Secretary Morgen-
THAI, Daniel w, Bell, acting budget
director: Senators Robinson of Arkan-
sas, Harrison Of Mississippi, and
Byrnes OF South Carolina; and Repre-
sentatives Rayburn of Texas, Taylor
OF Colorado, and Doughton OF North
Carolina.
Works on Relief Messaxe,
The President continued to work on
his relief message during the day. In
his January budget message he said
the budget for the next fiscal year
would be practically balanced if relief
costs were held to 1887 ,O00, 900.
Congressional leaders have predicted
the President would suggest an appro-
somewhere between $l,l25,-
100000 and $1,5oo,O00, 900.
Last week the Chief Executive called
attention to the falling off in antici-
pated tax receipts and asked all de-
partments to economic in spending
during the remainder of this fiscal
year to prevent large deficit.
Fiscal experts said the major fac
tors OF uncertainty were the savings
to result from the Presidents order
for sharp economy by all departments
for the remainder of the year and the
figure to be fixed as necessary for
relief.
