ing hours was projected more dis
tinctly into the turbulent political
picture today.
While Senate opponents con-
tinued to hammer away strategi-
Cally at his Court reform proposal
President Roosevelt let it be
known his legal advisers were
drafting tentative legislation to re,
place the old NRA labor principles
of minimum wages and maximum
hours.
Because Supreme Court de-
cisions outlawing NRA, AAA and
other attempted economic reforms
by the Administration are widely
held responsible for the Presidents
request that six more judges be
put on the high bench, observers
watched closely his preparations
to revive the Blue Eagle.
Four Gather Data
The White House comedies that
four men are engaged in assem-
bling data. They are John G.
Winant, retiring head of the Social
Security Board; Assistant Attor-
.ney General Robert H. Jackson;
.RFC Counsel Thomas G. Corcoran,
and PWA Attorney Benjamin V.
Cohen.
Jackson, as general counsel for
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
undertook a prolonged income tax
prosecution of Multi-millionaire
Andrew W. Mellon, former Repub-
ican Secretary of the Treasury.
Although the White House made
1t clear that wage-and-hour recon-
mendationS to Congress will not
be Forthcoming Immediately, it
was considered likely the Ad-
ministration's new labor program
would be in full public view long
before the Senate reaches a vote
on the court reform bill.
James Roosevelt, the PreSi-
dents secretarial son, has been
entrusted with the task of receiv-
ing and correlating the wage and
hour data collected by Winant,
jackson, Corcoran and Cohen.
In recent days, Mr.. Roosevelt
has sounded out number of
labor and industrial leaders on
the issue. He has listened to the
views of American Federation Of
Labor President William Green
and John L. Lewis, head of the
new Committee for Industrial
Organization.
