ROOSEVELT BILL TO BE HURRIED Supporters of His Supreme Court Plan Will Chase
 It to Senate
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 22.-(UP).- ministrarion leaders planned today to hurry President Roosevelt'S su- prei,-e court reorganization program to the senate as a precaution against its destruction by fillibuster.
 The leaders will ask the senate ju1iciary committee, probably at its meeting today, for early hearings in an effort to open debate within a month.
 An authoritative administration 90 rce said that despite the apparent fact that advocates are not sufficient in lumber to limit debate in the senate, chances of successful hn- buster would be decreased if the measure reached the floor late in March or ea.rly in April.
 Opponents, however, encouraged by two senate additions over the weekend, appeared to be concen- trating more on trying to defeat than to filibuster the measure.
 Radio Debate Grows
 The radio debate over the pro- posed enlargement of the court room 9 to IS justices continued. Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R, North Dakota, and Senator Royal s. Copeland. b New York, declared their opposition to the measure and Senator Theo- dore F. Green, D, Rhode Island spoke for the proposal.
 Senator Henry P. Ashurst, calling his judiciary committee to consider z house bill providing full pay re- tirement for supreme court justices, declined to predict whether the TO- organization. measure would be talk en up today.
 "t was generally believed the co nm.ttee would report favorably on tn, retirement measure, but Ashurst said there was mo Saste or worry" o,er the court remodeling bill.
 Tl's suddend decision of admins tration stratcgists to speed the court d ,bate. followed two White House conferences with senate democratic nd progressive leaders and indi- ca ed for the first time the presi- dents strategy. It also brought out tn; possibility of an effort by the administration to strengthen its position by approving a campaign for a constitutional amendment.

DEBUT OF HELEN
 HAYES CHILD
Little Daughter of Seven Created Big Sensation
 at Her Birth

New York, Feb. 22.-(UP) Helen Hayes daughter, Mary. whose birth In l93O created the "act of God" controversy in the courts, was re- v:aled today to have made her stage debut. :.
 The audience at "Victoria Regina, !" starring Miss Hayes, was unaware o. the identity of the child who ap- pcared as Princess Ena of Batten- berg in a walk-on part week ago.
 But backstage there was a cele- bration, both for Mary's debut and he. seventh birthday.
 Miss Hayes made her first appear in "The Babes in the Wood" arce at the age of six-in 1908--
 The offstage ''act of God" arose
 the fall of 1929, several months bcfor. Mary's birth, when Jed liar rt;, producer of tr.e play "Coquette" in which Miss Hayes was appearing. announced that he wah closing the show because of the actress inability to continue.
 t was an "act of God" he said, refusing to pay advance salaries to other members of the cast. The ac- tors said the forthcoming birth was "a very huma nmatter" and carried their protests to the Actors Equity associa tionS.
 Equity decided that the birth was not providential intervention ana ordered the salaries paid.
 Miss Hayes is married to Charles MacArthur, playright and former i.ewspaper man.

 They might CD resort to obstruc- tion to delay senate debate and, possibly, enhance the chances of a filibuster; CD permit it to come to the floor in the belief they are strong enough to defeat 1t.
 Senator Frederick Van Nuys, D, Indinia, announced that as soon as the bill comes before the commit tee he will move to separate the sections affecting the supreme court from othr parts providing for gen. erol judiciary reform. The admins tration opposes such a move. Senator William E. Borah, R. Idaho, one of the leaders of repub- lican opposition, said he saw no req son for long delay in getting the b,;l to the floor. But other leading opponents were uncertain which course would be best.

NEW VET UNIT
 PLANNED HERE
IriSh-Americans May Or- ganize Chapter of Na=
 tiOnaI Association

First movements towards the es- tablishment of an IriSh- American Veterans Association in this city will be taken at a meeting to be held at V. F. w. hall, 123 Bank street, next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. h. stigators of the organization in this city believe that there would be several thousand veterans eligible here and that the local chapter would be one of the largest in the state. Similar groups have been founded elsewhere in the country to the extent that national headquar- ters have been established at New ark, N. J.
 In planning for the initial meet ing on next Tuesday night, local organizations have cited the nation al preamble of the association which reads:
 We Americans who have served in wars, expeditions, insurrections and campaigns of the United States, and who have in our veins the blood of Irish ancestors ennobled with centuries of culture, loyalty and faith; proud of our heritage as we are proud of our Americanism, do unite in an association to be known henceforth as the Irish War Veter- ans, that by our unity may we pre- serve, enshrine and perpetuate the rugged idealism which has come to us from the land of saints and scholars.
 Walter Ferry is national-comman- der, and others of the staff include John Connolly, senior vice-comman- der; Elmer McGinnis, junior vice. commander; Joseph O'Rourke, chaplain; Christopher c. Nugent Jr., adjutant; Edward Burning, quar- termaSter; James Gallery, officer of the day; Philip Fitzpatrick, sergeant major; John Hennessey, sergeant at arms; Arthur Cokeley, service ofti- cer: and George A.
