COMPROMISE

Administration leaders anC
spokesman for the opposition
to President Roosevelt's Su
preme Court bill were reported
today to be secretly negotiating
Senate compromise, calling fol-
abandonment of all legislation
and submission to the people of a
constitutional amendment.
The constitutional amendment
reported under discussion would
provide for compulsory retirement
of Federal judges at the age OF
rs years. 1t would limit such re-
tirement of Supreme Court JUS
tices, however. to one in any cal
endar year, in order to eliminate
any charge the proposal contem-
plated a packing" Of the high
tribunal.
Farley Confirmed
This development was partially
confirmed by two high Admins
tration Democrats, who declared
they would mot be surprised" If
the pending controversy were
settled suddenly by agreement on
constitutional amendment. One
Of the Senators went further and
forecast the compulsory retire
ment amendment as the COM
promise.
Opposition leaders strengthened
the possibility OF compromise
when, almost without exception,
they demanded the issue be sub
mitted to the people in the form
of a constitutional amendment.
This came after Senate Majority
Leader Robinson of Arkansas in
troduced compromise bill,
drafted by Senators Hatch, Cd.
of New Mexico, Logan, CD OF
Kentucky and AshurSt, CD OF
Arizona, authorizing appointment
of one new justice each year for
each sitting justice over IS years

He pointed out that the bill would
authorize appointment Of Sub

first year of its operation, as Bran
Geis is the oldest justice.

In a long siege Of strained and
critical talk, Italy and Germany
rejected an Anglo French proposal
that British and French ships as.

Reich Scheme Rejected
Instead, Italy and Germany Of
fered a scheme which would grant
the rights of belligerents to both
sides in Spain, with the naval pa
troll dropped and land patrol con-
tinued. Britain and France i'm
mediately rejected this suggestion.
French quarters claimed a diplo-
matte poll showed 20 of the 81
members of the full committee
support the Anglo French pro
posal rather than the ItaloGer-
man suggestion. Soviet Russia,
Sweden, Belgium and Czechoslo-
vakia supported the Anglo-French

would reserve her position. BY
this she meant she would resume
