ACTIVITIES YESTERDAY
IN BOTH HOUSES

WASHINGTON, June 8. CUP
Senate leaders today had center
ed their fight TO save President
RooSevelT'S supreme court rcor-
ganization bill on the Hatch
amendment for "inStallment plan
appointments.
Opposition StrategiStS, mean
while, laid plans to Shelve the bill
indefinitely after obtaining sen
ate vote on the present provisions
for adding up To six new Justices.
Given authority by President
Roosevelt to salvage whatever
they can out of the original bill,
leaders were understood to be dis
cussing the Hatch plan with u
group of about half a dozen Sena-
tors whose votes hold the key to
passage of compromise.
The proposal of Senator Carl \.
Hatch, D., n. NJ, would limit new
appointments TO one year, and
instead of permanently increaS-
ing the court to the size neceSSI-
tated by the new places, would
reduce it to nine members when
ever all Justices are less than 40
years of age.
This plan may be altered to
make rs the retirement age in
stead of 40.
The senate maneuvcTIng will
take place when the anti-adminiS-
tration majority of the senate Ju-
dietary committee reports the bill
unfavorably. Senator Pat CcCar-
ran, d., New, said this may be on
Thursday. The report may be de-
layed, however, due to the illness
of Senator William II. King, d.,
Utah.
President RooSevelt's other ma
Tor reorganization plan, involving
reshuffling of the executive de-
partments, last night was conSld-
cred by the Republican members
of the house in q party confer
ence at which it was decided to
oppose two features.
The proposal to place independ-
ent agencies now exercising quasi
judicial functions such as the fed
eral trade commission and the in
,erstate commerce commission in
major department divisions was
condemned as likely to make the
agencies political puppets of the
president. &c.
His proposed abolition of the
comptroller generals office was
opposed on the ground that it is
"the only check that congress has
on irresponsible spending"
Secretary of War Harry Wood
ring urged the house flood con-
troll committee, meanwhile, to
adopt a long range program with.
in the budget, and the board OF
army engineers made report on
an $500 100000 plan for the ma
