SENATE LEADER SEES
CLOSE VOTE ON PLAN
Fair Prospect for Passage" Noted
by Arkansan-House Chiefs
Visit Roosevelt.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt today stood
committed to fight to the finish
for his court reorganization bill, after
having received frst-hand reports Of
the Senate situation from Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic
lea der.
Nevertheless, the President learned
from his right-hand man in the
Senate, at White House conference
late yesterday afternoon, that the
fight is both hard and close.
Before leaving the White House,
after he talked with the President
for more than an hour, Senator
Robinson said TO the press:
The vote in the Senate on the
court bill will be close, with a fair
prospect for the passage of the bill"
The Senate leader was informed
by the President it is understood.
that there is to be no compromise
now, and that the Chief Executive
believes the court bill should be
passed in its original form as it re-
lates to the proposed increases In

various members of the Senate to the
White House to talk over the court

President would find ways to con-

program should be supported
Mr.. Farley insisted that the court
bill was an essential part of the Roose-
welt program. He added that Demo-
cratic Senators had been elected on
the basis that they would support the
Presidents program.
The President also went over the
legislative situation with Speaker
Bankhead and ajority Leader Sam
Rayburn, after he had conferred with
Senator Robinson. The court issue
was not discussed with them, the
Speaker said, since the bill is now be-
fore the Senate and has not yet been
considered in the House Judiciary
Committee.
The Speaker revealed, however that
the President will send to the Con-
gress, probably next week, a special
message recommending the establish
ment of power authorities in various
parts of the country. similar to the
