Speakers Clash
Senator Joseph p. Cooney, chief
spokesman for the bill, and Senator
Brennan clashed bitterly as they
discussed the merits and drawbacks,
respectively, Of the measure. Sen
ator Cooney charged Senator Bren-
nan with being opposed to the bill
because 1t would hit many Of the
big fellows" inNhis district. SEN
ator Brennan stated that he repre-
sents everybody in his district, the
largest in the state, and not any one
class. 1.-THE last resort Of a coward
is an accusation" he asserted in the
course of his argument against the
bill. Senator Cooney said that
while they were harsh words they
came from the mouth and not from
the heart.

Roosevelt Awaited
Country Wonders What President Will Do About
Imminent Court Crisis.

to decide now what he must decide
later II he insists on his measure
decide whether he will declare the
opposition Democratic Senators to be
party outlaws, as National Chairman
Farley has already said they must be?
Finally, Is he willing to face the posi-
bility Of defeat Of his measure-for
the leaders will tell him they cannot
guarantee 1t will pass.
The spirit in which the Democratic
leaders ask these questions will tell
Mr.. Roosevelt the answer they hope
for. Indeed, it may not be a question
OF asking the President it may be a
case OF telling him. Practically every
leader wishes Mr.. Roosevelt would
accept some face-saving compromise,
and wishes even more that he would
drop the measure entirely-and wishes
most Of all that he had never pro-
posed it.
Conference to Be Official.
The conference between MIR. Roose-
welt and his party leaders in Congress
will be, SO TO speak, official. But the
oHlclal thing is rarely the whole
Story-lf 1t were, history would be
easier to write. There are others with
whom Mr.. Roosevelt will confer, or
who will reach his ear in intimacy.
There will be his secretaries, one of
them his son, the others old and emo
tionally loyal associates. Secretaries
give their main devotion to the man
they serve, and usually are blind in
it; rarely do secretaries take much
account OF distractions of public pol
icy. Usually the attitude of a secre-
tary, in business as we'll as politics,
is, il the chief wants it, it must be
good, and he ought to have it, and
any opposition to him is odious sin.
Besides the secretaries, there is Mrs.
Roosevelt, whose ubiquitous peregrina-
lions and multifarious occupa tons do
not deprive her of access to the Presi-
dents mind, and whose extraordinary
energy of personality is the kind that
usually gets what it goes after. She
has enormous vitality. The President
has great vitality too, but his is more
fltful, more geyserlike. The greater
volume Of Mrs. Roosevelts vitality
and its more steady flow ordinarily
prevails II she makes point of
anything
Also, within the inner intimacies
OF palace politics are what remains Of
the brain trust. The principal ones
are two young men who, to sustain
their presence in Washington, have
minor legal positions in some of the
alphabetical mazes, but who seem to
spend much of their time in the
White House where Washington Cos
sip says, they supply much of the
Presidents inspiration. and one OF
them, according to local legend, sup
plies much of his entertainment. in

was at the time of the victory dinner.

The Democratic leaders will tell Mr..
Roosevelt that crisis is imminent.
They will remind him that the Senate
Committee on. Judiciary is to take a
position on the court proposal on Tues
day of next week They will tell him
that Of the 10 members of the COM
mittee, 10 are opposed to the measure
in the form In which the President
put 1t out; and that, therefore, the
proposal will go before the Senate
with the black eye Of an adverse ma
1ority report.
But, the leaders will say, a majority
OF the committee might support a
compromise, preferably compromise
giving Mr.. Roosevelt two new justices
instead of the six he asked. On prin-
ciple and in the present circumstances,
there is little difference between pack
ing the court with two and packing
with six: but the haraSsed and anx-
ious leaders will not dwell on that
In the light of this condition the lead
ers will ask Mr.. Roosevelt if he is will
ing to accept such compromise.
Chances in Senate Uncertain.
Then, probably. Mr.. Roosevelt will
ask the leaders question, a conclu-
sive question. He will ask them what
are the chances of the measure Gin
its original form) in the Senate as
a whole. This the leaders cannot
answer with certainty. Perhaps they
will say that yes, he can force his
measure through the Senate by a very
small majority, an infinitesimal ma
jority. Though much Of the best
informed part of Washington has
doubt about this) But the leaders
will ask Mr.. Roosevelt if he is willing
to pay the price. Is he willing to see
a wide, deep cleavage in the Demo-
cratic party-to see at least a third
OF the Democratic Senators vote
against the principal legislation on
the Presidents program? (And most
OF the others vote for it only with
sullen reluctance) Is he willing to
face the question Of what he must do
about such Senators in next years
