THIRTEEN WERE
 KILLED SUNDAY
Two Prominent Lawyers of Boston Among Dead
 in New England

Boston, May 17-(UP)-Two so- cially prominent Boston lawyers were among 13 killed on New Eng land highways in weekend automo- bile accidents.
 Otis T. Russell, AT, nephew of for mer Massachusetts Governor Will liam E. Russell, and Edward Hutch- ins, 46, were killed when their beach wagon overturned in a Pepperell, Mass, field while returning from a Canadian fishing trip.
 Russell, believed the driver, was killed instantly when thrown from the car. Hutchins died a half hour later at a Groton hospital. Police believed the car was travelling at high speed and failed to make a sharp curve.
 James P. McNeilus, "A, editorial employe of the Providence (R. I) Star Tribune, was killed almost in- stantly when his car collided with a bus at Fall River, Mass. Run Over By Truck
 In Fitchburg, Janice Matson, 4, died at a hospital Sunday of inJI--' 'es suffered when run over by an oil truck.
 Henry A. Grow, 37, of Brookville was killed when his car Skidded on 8 wet Holbrook street. i Richard Goode, 16, died at Bos- ton hospital of injuries suffered when he fell while hooking" truck ride.

SCENES IN WASHINGTON If Senate BalkS, President Will Toss Court
 Bill Into House. Many Close To New Deal Think

resignations occur in the mean
 time.
 3. A court limited to nine or
 possibly II justices, its size to
 shrink back to that number as justices in excess of it retired.
 That's about as much, Roose- velt,s lieutenants are thinking, as he can concede if he is going to insist on victory. An uncertain ty complicating this picture, how ever, is the possibility that cer- tain justices will resign before the court fight is over in Congress. Brandeis Is Weary
 No one has any assurance that any of the justices will resign after the present court term. But few would be surprised if from one to five justices did decide to resign this summer.
 Friends of Justices Brandeis think it not unlikely that he will soon quit. He has been showing signs of age. Recent rumors that he would be the first to resign are based largely on the fact that he is 8i years old, the oldest member of the court and tired.

the House because Chairman Hat ton Summers of the House. judi- ciary committee refused to cooper ate with the White House.
 Majority Leader Sam Rayburn privately boasts that he can de- liver g majority of a hundred votes for the Presidents plan. All members of the House were elect ed i'm November's Roosevelt land- slide, and all will be up again for election next year--a fact which tends to strengthen the adminis- tration's hand there.
 The idea of administration lead- CTS is that they could jam the full original plan through the House, get the best possible bill in the Senate by whatever compromise might be necessary, and finally fight out the issue in conference committee. That, at least, would be a logical sequence of events If Roosevelt decided to bull the issue through but found his position weak in the Senate.
 
 Where Will He Wind Up?
 Most recent nose counts. sub- feet to change in the wake of the social security decisions, found the administration workers claiming from 40 to 51 votes and opposition leaders claiming about the same.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-17

The reason no one could be dead certain of his own estimates, how ever, has been in the fact that many assurances of votes have come second -hand. Friends and colleagues often have reported that so-and- sos vote could absolutely be depend ed upon when there was no word whatever from the senator himself
 One senator has just returned to Washington from a long ab- sence and taken a flat-footed posi- ton for the first time. But a very important political figure from his home state has assured leaders on the other side that he will see to 1t that this senator's vote is with them when the time comes. Thue the question is left just where Senator - will wind up. Some May Resign
 The most likely basis for the eventual compromise, assuming that the President doesn't have to accept a considerable measure of defeat, would be something like this:
 Il. Extension of the age provis-
 ion to 75 years instead of 70.

ANOTHER SWEEP

Three Sturdy Washington
Crews Head for Regatta
to Defend Titles.

= EATTLE, June 1l.-With a fair
chance OF repeating their triple
triumph of last year, three crews
~ OF the University OF WASHINGTON
will start east tonight to defend their
rational championships in the inter-
collegiate rowing regatta at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, June %.
In the big event last season the
Washington Navy rowed off with the
varsity, junior varsity and freshmen
titles to become the first school ever
to score a three-Way sweep.
This year Coach AL Ulbrickson
again has built three speedy water
wagons. This was proved when the
huskles won all three races from
California in the Pacific Coast re-
gatta with the freshmen and junior
varsity boats establishing new records.
And the same oarsmen who rowed
undefeated around the world" last
season, climaXing the tour with an
Olympic games victory in Berlin, still
are manning the varsity shell. They
won the Pacific Coast, national and
Olympic titles in 1896.
Ulbrickson is hoping, but is hardly
expecting, his galley slaves to make
1t grand slam again.

More peculiar is that Joe Cronin,

the trading of Sewell back in 1895,

Newsom is not likely to be missed
as much as Chapman. 1t became
apparent this Spring that Newsom
was washed-up as Nat. He tried
the nerves OF the Washington bosses
and they, in turn. tried those of New
som. The pitcher sulked and gen.
orally was ineffective.
Looking back over the last two
years. it is little wonder that such
drastic steps were necessary to get
a catcher. Since the departure of
Sewell, the Mats must have tried fully
IS catchers In a vain effort to fill
the gap.
The Bolton experiment lasted the
longest. Then Shanty Hogan and
Walter Miles. Johnny Riddle and
Milt Gray. Sam Holbrook and Herb
Crompton were given brief flings that
proved, more or less conclusively to
Griff and Harris, that some one else
was needed.
In the background were the
not too well remembered
names of Bill Starr, Alec Sabo,
Jake Early, Jack Redmond,
Floyd Perryman and Hal Lee.
That's the way it goes. Base ball
is nothing if not a gamble wherein
the winner is paid off richly and
the loser winds up cut. bleeding and

"My Kind of Player"-GriH.

CHAPMAN possibly was the best
center fielder in the modern his
tory of the Washington club. This
point naturally will be argued, particu-
larly by those whose base ball observa-
ton goes back few years, but on the
other hand those who had the good
fortune to play side by side with the
Alabama speedster will argue for him
just as loudly and long.
Ben is streamlined, set in swing
time throWback to the school of Cobb
and Carey, where they taught ball
players to carry chips on their soul
ders, to ride high into the bases with
fists clinched and spikes cleaning, and
to take two knocks to get in one.
Ben Chapman was not let 90
because he wasn't hitting, or
had disappointed in any way.
He was not at his best this
Spring because of bad hip. and
the very manner in which he
became injured bespoke his
ability and determination on
ball field.
Ben was on first base one day, pre-
pairing to steal. Nine times the pitch
er caused him to slide back to first
base. Something-the ground or
Chapman-had to give. Eventually it
was Chappie's hip. but, hurt as he
was he set sail for second base on the
pitch and BEAT THE THROW!
No, Griff did not trade Chapman
because he was disappointed in him
His getting Ben for Jake Powell last
year was one Of the greatest strokes
Of luck that ever hit Griff, and he
knew it. The Old Fox doesn't call
many of the boys my kind of ball
player" but he resolutely referred to
Chapman thusly, and it was a tribute
from Caesar, indeed.
