Proposals Less Ne
cessary After Re-
cent Decisions, Sen
ator Pope Says

Washington, May 81 (AP)-Senator
Pope, Idaho Democrat, a supporter
of the Roosevelt court bill, expressed
the belief today recent Supreme Court
decisions had removed the "impelling
necessity for the measure.
1.-THE main reason for the bill was
to have a court that would not OBJ
struct a constructive program for
dealing with the nations problems"
he said.
Pointing to the courts decision on
the social security and the Wagner
labor acts, he added:
"I have a feeling that since ma
iority of the court has adopted con-
stitutional view that is sensible and
liberal, the proposals of the President
are less necessary"
Pope said he still believed the bill
was "all right" and that probably the
lineup in the Senate was unchanged
bv the recent decisions. In fact, he
contended, those parts Of the bill
dealing with CONGESTION in the courts
were still as desirable as ever.
Opposition senators said they hop
ed to be able to file the committees
unfavorable report on the measure in
the Senate this week.
