votes are to be taken on the bill or
amendments until May 49, There
seems no prospect, Senator McGill
said, that any vote will be taken be-
fore May 18. The Kansas Senator
was asked if his proposed amendment
meant that he was opposed to the
Presidents program for the appoint
ment of six new justices.
Il have no comment to make on
that at this time" said Senator Nc
Gill. He pointed out, however, that
in his Judgment when Congress passed
recently the bill providing for the VOL
untary retirement of justices of the
Supreme Court 70 years of age and
over it had virtually agreed that the
President should have the right to
name six members of the Supreme
Court. He argued that this was so
because there are now six members
OF the Supreme Court who are over
the retirment age
Senator McGill and other members
of the committee. including Chairman
Ashurst, were inclined to discount the
constitutional question raised by Rep
resentative Pettengill of Indiana
against President Roosevelts court
program.
Pettengill. speaking in the House
yesterday, insisted that the Presidents
bill delegated to individual members
OF the Supreme Court the power to fix
the size Of the Supreme Court. Any
justice 10 years old could by retiring
or remaining on the bench maintain
the existing size Of the court or in
crease it by one.
The Indiana Representative in
sisted that Congress had no right to
delegate such powers and that if they
we're exercised, the constitutionality
Of the act would eventually be chal-
lenged.
Senator McGill said he believed
there was nothing unconstitutional in
the flexible plan for the court either
In the Presidents bill or in his own
amendment. Senator Ashurst said
he had no fears whatever of the ques-
tion raised by Pettengill.
The unusual procedure suggested
by Senator Logan" of Kentucky for
action in the committee on the Presi-
dents court bill is still under consider
alton. Logan has proposed that when
the time comes to vote the commit
tee shall first vote on the bill in its
original form as sent to Congress by
the President. After that the COM
mittee would then vote on amend
ments. This is putting the cart be-
fore the horse. However, some of
the Senators are favorably inclined
toward the proposal. Senator Austin

said today he thought the plan good
