'Six or nothing"
This was the battle cry on Cap
itol Hill today as friends and foes
Of President RooSevelt'S Supreme
Court bill rallied for a fight to
the finish.
Both sides were claiming vic
tory, after the President personally
ended all hope of compromise by
announcing he would accept no
substitute for his bill to reorganize
the Fedora. judiciary. His bill
would give him the power to ap-
point up to six new Supreme Court
justices il those justices now over
10 years fail to retire.
j. Committee Opposed
This was the situation as the
Senate Judiciary Committee met
for one more days secret delibera-
ton on the bill before voting to-
morrow on its merits. There was
every prospect of an unfavorable
report from the committee, as
private polls showed at least 10 OF
its 10 members are opposed to
the bill.
The prospect Of an unfavorable
report failed to shake the conf
dence Of Administration leaders
They predicted such q report
would have little or no weight
with the Senate itself. In the
Senate, Administration leaders
insisted, they have a safe ma
jority to pass the bill. They ex
pect no trouble later in the House
Opponents Confident
Opposition leaders were equally
confident. Senators Wheeler CD
Of Montana, and Van Mugs Cd
of Indiana, forecast defeat of the
bill. wheeler said his poll showed
40 Senators definitely committed
against it, with more in prospect
while Van Mugs claimed so Senar
tors were pledged against it..
The Presidents opposition to q
compromise found favor with lead.

spokesman were against a com
promise, because it would put
them in the position Of having
battled for an undesirable objec
tive for the last three months
