Reform Program
F. R. IS ANXIOUS FOR
EARLY LEGAL ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (UP).
Speculation on the possible i'm
pending resignation Of some men,
ber or members of the supreme
court today received an impetus
when the tribunal, apparently un-
der tension. failed to act on the
controversial cases, including the
New York unemployment insur-
ance case, the Washington mini
mum wave law, or the attack on
the Windfall tax provisions Of the
1886 revenue bill.
The court had been expected to
act on one or more of these ques-
tions in q vitality significant way
today. Also, it was expected that
they might divide the court into
opposing groups of thought with
regard to the measures acted
upon.
Discussion of the presidents
plan to increase by six the pres
ent nine-member body was be-
lieved by some to have been dis
cussed at length at the courts
conference Saturday.
Others were convinced that the
prolonged session was caused by
return of liberal justice Harlan
F. Stone, who has been i'll. II was
the first Saturday conference he
has attended in many months and
they pointed to It as indicative
that the court might hand down
important decisions today.
No one doubted that the court
has discussed the presidents pro-
posals, as a whole or in groups.
It was believed unlikely that any
of the members Of the tribunal
would speak on the matter public
ly, although indignation is be.
lieved certainly felt by some of
the members.
