COURT CHANGE

Proposal Aimed at All But

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. (UP)
President Roosevelt yesterday de-
manded authority to increase the
supreme court from nine to Id
members in a move to pump new
blood" into the entire federal ju-
dietary wherever judges past 70
continue to hold office.
He also proposed, in a special
message to congress, that federal
courts be denied the right to de-
eide constitutional questions or
issue injunctions involving the
government without ample notice
to federal authorities and the
right of quick appeal directly to
the supreme court.

RESIGNATION OF SEVERAL U.S..
SUPREME COURT MEMBERS IS
SEEN AS OUTCOME OF CRISIS
Now Believed Likely if

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. (UPC.
Resignation of several supreme
court justices was regarded today
as a highly possible outcome of
the most serious crisis centering
around the court since the days
of the bred Scott decision.
The designations are likely. it
was believed, if congress approves
President Roosevelt'S sensational
proposal to enlarge the courts
membership.
This developments situation
actually unequalled in supreme
court annals since post-civil war
days-camc as the court headed
into what already was regarded as
the climatic court arguments of
this years term.
These are the arguments on the
vital Wagner labor act cases, tests
of the constitutionality of the
keystone Of the New Deals labor
legislative program, which open
Monday afternoon.
The Wagner act cases, coming
at q moment when the administra-
ton is gravely concerned over the
critical strikes in the far-reaching
automobile industry, provide what
may be the only major test of
New Deal legislation at this years
session of the court.
At least two members of the
court, eligible for retirement
Justices Willis Vandervanter and
James c. McReynolds - are be-
lieved to have wished to resign
for several years. The advent of
the New Deal, it was thought,
may have caused them to hold on
because of a feeling that doing
so they could defend in the court
their own interpretations Of the
constitution on economic, social
and political problems.
Both jurists described as ready
for retirement have voted consis-
tently against New Deal legisla-
ton.
The two other justices who have
been consistently on the "conserv-
ative" court bloc are also eligible
for retirement. One of these has
been in Ill health on several occa-
sions and might be counted as q
possibility for resignation.
The prospect of, court retire
ments resulting from President
Roosevelt's recommendations was
based on the belief that an en-
larged bench would make any at
tempt to maintain their own the
cries, in the face of an over
whelming opposition hopeless. For
it was assumed that any new APP
pointments to the bench would be

declared that 1000 prohibition
lists would appear before the COM

piled up on senate members desks
yesterday as drys Of the state de-
manded that they be allowed to
be heard before the bill is report

Only approval by the senate
stands in the way Of legal liquor

time in &c years. Dry forces
seek a statewide referendum on
liquor.
The two money committees last
night had practically completed
the draft of the budget, provid,
ing for spending about 1000,

was about S1,750,000 out Of bal.
