ACTION BY COMMITTEE


 WASHINGTON, July 22.-Early today the Senate Judiciary Com mittee voted to ask the Senate to send the Roosevelt court bill back to it with instructions to draft a substitute dealing only with lower courts and to do so within ten days.

 Lower Court Proposals
 Senator Joseph c. OMahoney, of Wyoming, leading opponent of the court bill, later announced that the committee and the Admins tration chieftains, including Vice. President Garner, agreed to an eight-point program for judicial reforms which include no change in the Supreme Court.

many hundreds of pounds.

Tommy was eleven years old. One

makes ightning-fast lunge for the
front legs, grabs them, swings quickly
to the reptiles back and rides him all
around the pool. Then he clamps a
vise-like grip on the alligator's jaws
and swims back to the platform with
his captive. If his legs or hands re-
laxed their hold for a moment tragedy
would be swift and certain.

But he hasn't always escaped the fury
of his opponents. Fourteen scars are
mementos of those occasions when he
was not quick enough.
Carter traps his alligators in the
shallow waters and sluggish rivers in
the depths of the Everglades. He takes
you into the Everglades and points
out the underwater alligator caves,
some of which extend fifteen feet in
from river bank.
Carter sets a moose over the cave
entrance and walks over the bank
