WASHINGTON, March 2.-WPA Administrator Harry Hopkins de- fends President Roosevelt's Court reorganization plan with the asser- ton that unless the complexion of the Supreme Court be changed social legislation will be blocked by two or three elderly judges"
 Senator Clark. of Missouri, de- nounced the plan as an effort to stack the Court"
 Floor Leader Senator Robinson told the Senate there is an organ ized fight to defeat the proposal through charges that President Roosevelt is seeking to become a Dictator. He said letters in the mail, from Kansas especially, urged re- cipients to sign slips to send to Sen ators and Representatives to turn down the Court plan because Roose- welt was aiming to be absolute Dictator of the United States" Rob- inson said the letters sounded like the old XXX appeal.
