For example, find frequent scattered mention of the in

buyers fighting against taking deliveries contracted for

being allowed to off, with apparent confidence both
sides that business will be forthcoming in due time.
Again the manufacturers margins between cotton and
good prices have held fairly WELL The prices of most goods

APPROVED

CHEVY CHASE, Md, July 2.
Widening and improvement Of
Brookeville Road from the East
West Highway to Woodbine Street
was urged by the American Auto
mobile Association and residents
along the proposed route, at a
luncheon held at the Brooke Farm

Washington I. Cleveland, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation and the Washing
ton Motor Club Of the A. A. A.,
presided at the meeting which was
attended by prominent State,
county and Three-A officials.
When thrown open to discussion
by the assembly the merits Of the
proposal were discussed at length.
Irving c. Root, chief engineer of
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
showed plans for the project and
said that the necessary rights of
way had been obtained without
cost to the county or State.
To add impetus to the proposal
Root said that a traffic count was
made last Sunday and Tuesday
which showed that between the
hours of Z a. m. and 8 p. m. on
Sunday 1,183 motor vehicles
Travelled over the narrow unim-
proved thoroughfare, while on
Tuesday 1888 travelled over the
route during the same hours.

farm bill might yet pass had something TO
do with the rally. European war fears also
helped. But, in the main, think that this
rally marks the completion of the downward
readjustment in prices that began in March.
The supply situation is so easy that cot
ton is less likely to soar in price than many
other commodities. There are indications.
however that once the decline in raw cotton
is checked, plenty of new buying will appear
in cotton textile markets. AS usual, when a
decline in prices gains momentum, buyers
cease ordering and new business falls off.
Now, however, good evidence exists that I'M
placed orders are accumulating.

AID FOR LABOR,

Administration Plans
Relief Delay Until
After Reform
BY EARL GOODWIN

Labor and agriculture may be In
dire distress and need help from
Washington
But-no help from President
Roosevelt in the way of new AAA
or NRA or any of their benefits
until Congress attends to the lit
tie matter Of the Supreme Court.
This is the well-known inside Ad.
ministration strategy.
Ready to Jump
There is reported to be an over
whelming majority in both houses
of Congress Straining at the leash
either for agricultural relief in the
way of farm cash benefits or union
labor aid by way of wage-and-hour
legislation, etc; and the members
want these things so badly, the
Administration figures, that they
would jump through a burning
hoop-or swallow the Supreme
Court packing" formula-if they
had to do so in order to get the
New Deal benefits they promised
so laviShly during the campaign.
There is not an overwhelming
majority of members of Congress
now favorable to the Presidents
proposals to restore the lost youth
of the Federal judiciary-but by
the time the word gets around
that the road to reform lies
through the Supreme Courts re-
juvenation, it is figured by Ad.
ministration leaders that there
will be a solid phalanx of Demo
Gratis to vote AYE" on the court
bill.
Solid Labor Support
Labor organizations are expected
to get Solidly behind the court
proposals of the President, especi-
ally with respect to Federal judges
in the lower courts. Labor lead
ers for some time past have been
beating the tom-toms trying to stir
up interest in their plant that Fed
eral judgeships are generally filled
through influences controlled by

Germs.
Labor leaders here say Federal
judges, appointed for life, have
been of more value to corporate
interests than members of Con-
'gress. This view of labor leaders,

JUDGES BOUND

PRECEDENT
Unlikely to Testify in
Inquiries Personally

international News Service

Unless a recent precedent g
broken, justices of the Supreme
Court will decline invitations to
testify before congressional COM
mittees on President RooseveltS
plan for a possible increase of six
justices.
Within the last two years the
court has declined to send repre-
sentatives before a congressional
committee to testify on a matter
in which members were personally
affected.
While justices have appeared be-
fore congressional committees, the
dividing line apparently is that
they can only appear on matters
affecting the court and not them
selves.
Some Features Open
Under the rule, justices might
testify upon some features of the
Presidents program, such as expe-
diting constitutional appeals, be,
cause that would not touch them
personally.
When the House Judiciary Com
mittee two years ago considered
a bill permitting Supreme Court
justices to retire at 10 after 10
years of service, the court de-
clined to send representatives be.
fore the committee. Representa-
tive Ramsay CD Of West Vir.
ginia said:
1--WE were told that since the
bill personally affected the
justices, they did not deem 1t
proper to appear"
Justices of the high court are
certain to be invited to appear
before Senate and House judiciary
committees-either formally or
privately-to testify on the Presi.
dents court program.
Congressional committees have
no subpoena powers, unless speci.
cally conferred by Congress, it Ii
unlikely that any steps would be
taken to compel appearance.
