COURT DRIVE PUSHED

Representative Summers CD of
Texas, House Judiciary Committee
chairman. promised early action
on the judicial reform bill with
drawn from debate wednesday at
the White Houses request.
Will See President
Summers announced he would
visit the President to learn his
objections to the bill, which
would give the Attorney General
the right to intervene in Federal
district courts in cases involving
the conStitutionality of Federal
legislation and provide direct ap'
peal of adverse decisions to the
Supreme Court.
The President had recommended
these reforms in his message, but
did not include them in his bill.
Senator Van Nuys announced
that protests against enactment of
the Presidents program were be-
ing received from farmers, after
the first wave had come from
lawyers and business men. He
said:
1--WE are now receiving a world
of letters from individual farm
ers. The man who tills the field
Is against any tinkering with the
Supreme Court.

STEEL PLANTS
TO RAISE PAY

PITTSBURGH, Feb. IL Q.N.s).
A general wage increase Of 80
cents a day for the $4,000 enl-
ployes of the Carnegie.Illinois Steel
Corporation in this district has
been recommended by employe
and management representatives
comprising the Pittsburgh-YoungS.
town district council, it was re-
vealed today.
Whether the raise was merely
recommendation" or a more
positive action was not immediate
ly made clear because of the
absence Of official comment.
To become operative, the pro-
posal must be ratified by the
employe representatives Of all the
16 plants in the district and their
respective plant managers.
This raise, bringing common
labor from $4.20 to IS a day, would
amount to a payroll increase Of
$4,000 a day or more than $l0..
100000 year.
Officials declined to discuss the
proposed increase, pointing out
this was matter of policy mas
much as the entire proposal is

URGE SUBWAY
AT CIRCLE

Elimination of many hazards
and smoother flow of traffic
will be the result if an underpass
for street cars is constructed at
Dupont Circle, proponents of the
plan contended today.
Advanced by Capt. H. C. White
hurst, director of highways, the
proposal calls for retention of
existing automobile lanes, but
would take trolleys from the sur,
face at points north and south
of the circle, under which they
would travel in two-track sub
way.
The benefits to automobile traf.
fic, it was explained, will include
the abolition of the street car
tracks on the west side of the
park. where the two-way trolley
routings conflict with the one.
way Southbound vehicular traf-
fic.
A graphic idea of the reasons
for the existing congestion at the
spot can be gained, according
to several authorities. by a view
of the circle from the air. Some
months ago group interested
in improving traffic conditions
here floated over the city in the
Goodyear hlimp. Enterprise, "
and reported Dupont Circle to be
one of the worst stumbling
blocks to efficient, rapid con.

While the President gave no
hint of the positions which might
be involved. confident diplomatic
observers sketched the probable
changes as follows:
Ambassador Hugh Gibson has
indicated his wish to be moved
from Brazil and is expected to be
given one of the more important
key posts in Europe.
Ambassador jefferson Caffery,
who has been in Cuba during the
troubled period since overthrow of
the Machado government in 1888,
is expected to be moved to Brazil
to replace Gibson. Caffery, al
though he is credited with ironing
out anti-American feelings which
boiled up during the 1888 revolu-
tionS, has been threatened on sew
eral occasions. He has been under
constant armed guard since one Of

derce was shot to death two years
ago by terroriStS.

PRESIDENT SEES
AUDITORIUM
ASCERTAINTY
Jefferson Memorial Is
Not in Conflict,
He Declares

The temple" type of memorial
to Thomas jefferson. already ap-
proved in principle by President
Roosevelt, does not interfere in the
slightest with a large national
auditorium to be erected in Wash
ington at some future date.
This is President Roosevelt's
view expressed at a press confer
ence today.
The relative Importance of the
two projects, with respect to their
places on longtime building pro-
gram has been left by the PreSi.
dent to the building committee
which is headed by Secretary Ickes
Of the Department of Interior.
Both Given Starts
Congress has given both the audi
torium idea and the temple idea
separate starts; the Thomas JEFF
ferson Memorial Commission was
created by Congress 10 years ago,
and is now ready to announce a
selection of plans and to ask Con-
gress for about 100000 to erect
the memorial directly south of the
White House on the southern side
of the Tidal Basin.
Congress has also sent to the
President for his signature bill
creating commission of five to
elect a site for an auditorium, ar
rive at a cost figure and decide
on how the money is to be raised.
Whether or not the President will
sign that resolution is problemati-
cal, as he was not aware today
that the measure had been sent to
him.
If he does not sign it, the idea
is still very much alive in the mind
of Secretary Ickes, who believes
an auditorium would be a much
more practical and fitting memo
rial than pillared temple.
lckeS for Auditorium
Secretary Ickes is an ardent
supporter of the auditorium idea,
ano would give it preference over
all other memorials. 1t is under
stood he would recommend that
the 100000 which the jefferson
Memorial Commission desires be
used partly, at least, Tor an audi
torium.
President Roosevelt today did
not make any choice between the
two ideas, and he has left un-
decided just which of the two
projects is to take precedence
when it comes to a building pro-
gram and the necessary ap-
preparation.

Norris Is Cool
Senator George w. Norris. Ne
braska Independent, proved an ex-
ception. He first declared he
doubted the wisdom" of the Presi-
dents plan and proposed a con-
stitutional amendment limiting
the terms of Supreme Court JUS
tices to fixed number of years.
After comforting with Mr.. Roose-
welt, Norris said;
Il would prefer some other
plan, but l am not irrevOcably
opposed to the Presidents plan.
Il would prefer to have a
seven.tO-twO majority required
before the Court could invali-
date any act of Congress. That
would be a more permanent
remedy. So, too, would a con-
stitutional amendment fixing a
definite term for Supreme Court

STEEL FIGHT

Steel and Tin Workers, and the
Pittsburgh meeting will call in
more than a thousand key men
in this organization, Murray
added.
Uniform Pay Sought
Under the tentative, skeleton
lied program which the workers
will be asked to approve for pre-
sentation to the industry's op-
orators, an increase in pay and
standard pay-rates will form the
major objective.
"Glaring inequalities in pay
rates" were pictured by Murray
as the first evil which the workers
will seek to eliminate. There is
no standardized system, he said,
for the payment of uniform daily
or hourly wage rates for any given
job.
In one plant, according to a
survey recently conducted by his
committee, more than 249 separ-
ate rates were found existing in a
single big mill. This must be
changed, Murray said.
The specific pay increases to be
sought have not been finally de-
termined but the CIO leaders
here seemed bent on securing,
first of all, an increase in the
present 81 cents an hour rate for
common labor. They pointed out
that the minimum for women,
usually lower than that for men,
in the glass industry, ranged from
55.5 cents to 81 cents.
4O-HOur Week Asked
The work-week must be short
cred. too, the CIO officials feel.
They said thousands of workers
~. now on a seven-day basis, or
or hour or piece work. A maxi
mum work-week of 40 hours is ex-
pected to be proposed.
John Lewis has left no doubt
that he will call out the steel
workers if a strike is necessary but
whether the "Sit down" will be
used has not been decided.
Recently, the United Mine Work,
erS, which Lewis heads, and which
is the spearhead of the CIO, as
seSsed a million dollars from its
members for a war chest" Lewis
has stated this fund would be a
bulwark against any enforced
idleneSS" which might come along,
