To Be Sought

Washington, July (AP)-The hot
ly-contested battle over revampng
the Supreme Court enters its decisive
phase this week after exactly five
months of preliminary skirmishing.
Majority Leader Robinson, Arkan-
sas Democrat, probably will call up
the Presidents judiciary bill for Sen
ate consideration late tomorrow, and
Immediately ask adjournment until
Thursday.
The Senate will be in recess Wed
nesdav because of the all-star baseball
game here.
Administration leaders indicated
their first maneuver on Thursday
would be to ask consideration OF the
compromise introduced by Senator
Logan, Kentucky Democrat, as sub
stitute for the Presidents original pro-
posal.
Logans measure would authorize APP
pointment of one additional justice
each to supplement members of the
court who fail to retire at 70.
The original bill would have empow
cred the President to appoint five
hew justices Immediately one for
each incumbent over 70.
Logan said he was certain OF Of
votes, a majority of five, for the com
promise. The same number, he added,
can be counted on to vote against any
effort to sidetrack or amend the new
bill
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana, veteran of a score of bitter par
liamentary battles will lead the oppo-
sition. He insisted his supporters
could defeat the Presidents original
proposal and, if necessary, prevent
Indefinitely a vote on any compro-
mise. He announced he would not
fight the substitution of Logan's bill

Weakness of Signals Makes
Testings Difficult; Ship,

Be Miles from Land;
Ceaseless Vigil of Radio
Continued

Honolulu, July 5.-tAP)-Navy Of
ficials said they received a garbled
radio message early today purporting
to have been sent by Amelia Earhart,
which indicated her plane was sink
ing.
The message, received by three
navy operators, was pieced together
as follows:
1881 north Rowland, call KHAQQ.
beyond north, don't hold with us
much longer above water, shut off.
The operators said keying of the
message was poor and they were able
only to pick up fragments of it.
Officials took the message, if it
was authentic, to mean the plane
was about 281 miles north of How
land island by Miss Earhart's esti-'
mate and sinking slowly, forcing her
to stop sending.
Earlier this morning cross bearing
taken on weak radio signals believed
from Miss Earhart and her navigator,
Frederick Noonan, further confused
weary Pan-American operators at
Rowland and Wake islands. ia
The radio men who have maintain

contact and locate the missing globe
girding plane, said the bearings fixed
the location of the mysterious trans
mitter at roughly 400 miles northeast
of Rowland island. This location, they
said, was miles from any land.
A previous bearing taken by an
American and coast guardsmen here
placed the sender in the vicinity OF
Gardner and Mexican islands in the
Phoenix group, approximately LOO
miles south of Rowland.
Officials said the later bearings
may be inaccurate because of the
weakness of the signals. The British
steamer Moorby 24O miles north Of
Rowland, reported it heard strong
continuous carrier wave frequency
near midnight last night and for the
last time an hour later
The coast guard cutter ltasca,
whose radio was silent until messages,
presumably from the Earhart plane,
were intercepted by Baker island col
onists 40 miles southwark, and by
the portable station at Rowland, be-
gan transmitting signals with the
hope they would be received by the
plane.
