ment if that was the intention OF the
administration.
Situai ZION Much Changed.
A month or two ago the President,
had he been willing to compromise,
might have had comparatively smooth
sailing with the court bill. Today
the situation is much changed, with
those Senators who had offered COM
promises unwilling now to support
them. Senator McCarran, for example,
offered compromise calling for the
appointment Of two additional judges
He Is adamant against any compro-
mise now that looks to an increase
in the size of the court.
Senator Borah Of Idaho, staunch
foe Of the court bill. said yesterday he
was opposed to any scheme which
gives. or tends to give, political control
over the courts. He charged that for
years the judges Of the lower courts
have been picked by political machines.
He said that Congress could do the
POopiC 1hFoi ny ICIilOSllls VIC COul y
further and further from political
control Of the Government.
Norris May Offer Amendment.
1t Is expected that when the court
bill is brought before the Senate
Senator Norris of Nebraska will offer
as an amendment his proposal to make
it impossible for the Supreme Court
to hold an act of Congress unconsti-
tutional except by To vote or more.
The Nebraska Senator is the author,
too, Of proposed amendment to the
Constitution which would provide for
the appointment Of all Federal judges,
including the Supreme Court. for
a specified period Of years. Such an
amendment, he believes, would make
the judges much more responsible and
responsive to the wishes of a majority
Of the people than they are now, when
they are appointed for life.

The House itself rejected two
months ago language recommended
by its committee to transfer admin
istrative control over public hospitals
from the Welfare Board to the Health
Department, but left in the health
appropriation the money to operate
the hospitals. II the Senate decides
to leave administrative control in the
Welfare Board it undoubtedly will
transfer the necessary operating
money back to the welfare appropri-
alton.
Followed the House.
The Senate also will restore the
funds for salaries and expenses Of
the Department of Vehicles, which
were dropped out entirely in the
House as a result OF the defeat OF Z
rider intended to transfer this ex-
pense from the general fund to the
gasoline tax fund.

The proposal to have the Federal
Government meet fixed share Of

Both Senator McCarran and Sena-
tor Burke resented the attack made by
the President in press conference
Friday on the Supreme Court and
his structures in regard to the court S
having adjourned last Tuesday for
four months McCarran said: The
Supreme Court made great mistake
when it adjourned; it should have
gone fishing instead Senator Burke
said that probably by tomorrow bill
would be introduced in the Senate de-
nying the Supreme Court the right
to take such long vacation. If there
is such a bill he said. there will be
another to eliminate presidential fish,
ing trips
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic leader of the Senate, who
conferred with the President for
two hours Thursday night on the
court bill and then indicated that a
compromise might be sought, was out
of the city over the week end. How
ever, Senator Minton of Indiana, a
strong supporter Of the Presidents s
original court bill, conceded that there
must be a compromise or no bill. He
said: Il do not think we could ever
pass the bill as it now is, We'll have to
work out a compromise to save the
bill. We owe it to the people to
make a change in the personnel OF
the court to make sure that our
constitutional Government will work. -
The suggestion has been made that
the administration will seek to pass
the court bill through the Senate
with the Hatch amendment to per-
nit the President to appoint a new
justice each year, as long as members
remain in Supreme Court over 10
years Of age. and that in the House
the fight will be made to restore
the original plan permitting the i'm
mediate appointment Of additional JUS

not been normal functions prior to
the occurrence of strikes"
Donaldson said there is no specific
post Office regulation bearing on the
question Of food deliveries in strike
bound areas.
The policy OF the department, ("
he said, lis to avoid taking sides in
any strike or riot. These strikes are
different from anything we have had
before. There is no basis of COM
parison for these shut-in plants and
Sit-down strikes I wouldn't say that
we've ever had q situation like this
before.
I'm the past we have refused de-
liveries into flood areas or riot areas
where such deliveries would have been
a physical impossibility. It may be
that we couldn't deliver food into
these strike areas without riots or vio-
lence.
But our policy was not adopted
because We feared strikers would fire
on postal employees engaged in nor
NAL service. The trouble would arise
If attempts were made to deliver
food"
Donaldson added, however. that nc
attempt had been made to deliver
food into the Republic plant through
the mails and that he didn't know
whether such an attempt would cause
trouble. There has been no inter-
ference with any phase of the serv-
ice so far as I know" he said.
Denies Mail Examined.
The post office official denied en-
phatically that strikers were per-
mitted to examine mail sent to the
Republic plant.
I'VE have had some inquiries from
the strikers" he said, "as to whether

wouldn't be beneficial to the strikers
or any one else If mail employe
should be killed while delivering mail I"
Under postal regulations, he added,
postmasters are required to inquire as
to the nature Of packages sent through
parently untruthful answers, he said.
the packages would be examined by
postal authorities.
Donaldson added he has received
no complaints from any civilian or
postmaster in the strike area. After
receiving complaints that strikers were
examining the mails, he said, he made
a personal check and found the COM
plants were groundless.
Since the strikes began, Donaldson
said, there has been large increase
in demand for mail deliveries Of food
in some OF the strike areas. This, he
said, was because the steel companies,
and notably the Republic Steel Corp,
had been unable to contract with
trucking firms to take supplies
through the picket lines.
Recalls Other Examples.
Donaldson recalled other instances
in which the Post ONCE Department
has stood on its policy Of neutrality"
and refused to undertake abnormal"
deliveries or irregular services Dur
ing the General Motors strike, early
this year he said, the wife of sit
down" striker in Flint. Mich, tried to
send food package to her husband
in the plant by special delivery. The
Post Once Department refused to
accept the package for the same rea-
son that 1t is now refusing to accept
food for delivery into picketed plant.
In another case, he added, Phila-
delphia department store, during a
strike OF truck drivers, wanted the
department to handle deliveries direct
from the store. A postal substation
was in the store, but during the strike
the department refused to accept from
this substation any abnormal quanti-
ty Of outgoing parcel post represent
ing goods that ordinarily would have
gone by truck. 1t accepted these extra
shipments only when they were carried
to an outside postal station by en-
ployes Of the store.
Donaldson said similar policy
was followed for the first time during
4 strike in Portsmouth. Ohio. about
seven months.

ROOSEVELT SEEKS
COURT ASSURANCE.
Leaders Feel He Favors
Compromise That Would
Carry.
BY JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG.


President Roosevelt would readily
agree to q compromise on his Supreme
Court proposal II he could be sure such
course would remove the present
well-organized opposition in the Sen
ate, congressional leaders feel.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been = political
battler long enough to know that Sen
ate opposition is we'll intrenched and
numerically strong enough to defeat
him If his original proposal Is brought
to vote any time soon.
Mr.. Roosevelt's nature and manner
OF combat is to be able At the start
to sense victory or at least be sure OF
some sort Of glory in defeat. There
fore, while he has been listening to his
counsellors on Capitol Hill urging COM
promise, and has indicated he would
compromise, he is hesitating because
ne has no assurance that the lowering
Of his battle nag would in any sense
appease that determined group in the
Senate which has been so vigorously
opposing his original proposal.
What would be the sense in sur
rendering to 4 compromise, he rea-
sons, If he is not certain that thia
compromise proposal will not be fought
just a. hard and diligently As was the
original proposal?
Mind May Be Chanxed.
Up until few days ago such q
thing as = compromise was decried
at the White House. But since Sem
ator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, DEM
ocratic leader of the Senate, init
mated strongly after a long talk
with the President Thursday night
that compromise might be possible,
and since the President himself at
his most recent press conference
parried all questions on the sub
ject, there is reason to feel that he
has changed his mind.
Representative Sam Rayburn OF
Texas, Democratic leader in the
House, strongly intimated yesterday
after q conference with the President
that the thought Of compromise
40 Ia tl1S lIlIIlO.
Just what the Presidents ultimate
course will be is now uncertain, but
in political circles the feeling is
that in the end there will be some
thing in the form Of = compromise
and that ultimately the President
will bring about what might be de-
scribed as substantial court re-
form.
Counting on Opinion.
Mr.. Roosevelt is counting heavily
on public opinion. Not only is he
convinced that there is a great need
for court reform, but he is convinced
that The country believes as he does.
There are those who feel the Presi-
dent does not want his court proposal
to come up for a vote Immediately
but would rather postpone matters
Some say he has proposed a recess
OF \ couple Of months to give him
time to bolster up his forces and make
sufficient appeal to the country Al
large to bring suf1icient support for
complete yictory-at least to make
it possible for him to come out OF il
all with some glory and not igno-
miny.
For the time being, however, the
original court enlargement propose
is being given . place on the list OF
preferred legislation to be pu,
through 1T the present session OF
Congress. Both Senate Leader Rob-
inson and House Leader Rayburr
have made place for this propose
in the program which they will fol.
