Decision Reached To Have
Ballots ReCOunted In Tie
Race For City Councilman

w. P. Archer and VIM. II. Mon
salvatge, who are tied in the race
for members of city council, an
nouneed this morning that a deci-
sion has been reached by both of
them, 20 ask for recount of the
ballots.
City Attorney Aquilino Lopez
said today that he was in discus
sion with the candidates and they
agreed, that to bring the matter
to a final issue and have it set
tied to the satisfaction of both
parties, papers will be prepared
asking the court to mandamus the
election commissioners for a new
count.
Judge Arthur Gomez, of the
Eleventh Judicial District who is
now in Miami, is the authority
who will issue the mandamus for
the new count. The papers are to
be prepared at once, it is said,
and forwarded to the judge for ac-
ton if he is still in Miami, or
presented to him in chambers, if
he is in Key West.
Conversation with several men,
bers of the newly elected men,
bers of the council, elected the
information that they too felt
that the best way to have the mat
er decided was to plead to the
court for a mandamus for a new
count of the ballots and not to
place the new board in the un-
enviable position of having to Sc
lect one of the two candidates
who are tied.
The consensus of many voters,
and those who are more closely
interested in the result of the
count, when it is authorized, is

Evening star., 1937-02-12

With q tongue -in-the-cheek atti-
tude. the House Rules Committee Is
considering Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers
resolution on the advisability Of ex-
tending President Roosevelt's judi
ciary retirement plan to "aged and
infirm" members Of Congress.
The committee members apparently
suspect that Mrs. Rogers was indulg-
ing in q bit Of fun at the expense OF
the court reform plan when she asked
that the Speaker be authorized to ap-
point a committee to look into the
matter.
The resolution pointed out that
whereas" the President questions
the ability and capacity Of men over
the age Of 70 years to perform the
duties of judges or justices of the va
rious courts of the United States by
virtue of the infirmities of mind and
body" but failed to include Repre-
sentatives and Senators IN the mes

Ia tender solicitude for the feelings Of
Congress" therefore the House should
ascertain:
"First. Whether members Of the
House who have passed the age Of 70
and who, therefore, date from the
horse-and-buggy days, are incapable
of performing their full duties as such
members, including specifically the
primary duty of considering the con-
stitutionality of pending legislation.
Second. Whether the House has
the power to expel members who have
passed the age of 10 years because of
such infirmity, If any. or whether the
less drastic remedy should be applied
of supplying them with associates to
do their work.
Third. Whether the Congress has
the power to provide for the appoint
ment by the President of Associate
Representatives in Congress, to relieve
such aged and infirm Representatives
of their full responsibilities and pre-
