COURT PLAN HELD
NOW NOT NEEDED
Decisions Change Situation,
Says Senator Pope, Presi-
dents Supporter.

Recent Supreme Court decisions
have removed the "impelling neces-
sity' for the Presidents court reorgan.
ization bill, Senator Pope, Democrat.
OF Idaho, q supporter of the measure,
said today.
Senator Pope announced this view
as preparations were completed for
the closing session of the tribunal to-
morrow. No important rulings are
pending, but the justices will an
nounce their decisions in several rela-
lively minor cases and act on several
applications for review Of important
lower court rulings.
TomorroW's session will mark the
last time Associate Justice Van Devan-
ter will sit on the high bench. A
stanch member of the courts con-
servative bloc, Justice Van Devanter
will retire Wednesday to live or his
recently-purchased estate near Elli-
colt City, Md.
Discussing the court bill, which
would add maximum of six new
justices to the tribunal unless men,
bers over 10 retire, Senator Pope
said:
The main reason for the bill was
to have court that would not OBJ
struct constructive program for
dealing with the Nations problems. "
Pointing to the courts decisions on
social security and the Wagner labor
act, he added:
Il have feeling that since a ma
Jority OF the court has adopted a
constitutional view that Is sensible
and liberal, the proposals OF the
President are less necessary"
Pope said he still believed the bill
was all right and that probably the
lineup in the Senate was unchanged
by the recent decisions. In fact, he
oontended that those parts of the bill
dealing with congestion in the courts
were still as desirable as ever.
Pope's statement, first of its kind by
an administration supporter, added TO
the prevailing uncertainty as to the
future OF the controversial measure.
He is one of 33 Senators publicly COM
mitted to the bill
Report This Week.
Opposition Senators said they hoped
to be able to file the committees un-
favorable report on the measure in
the Senate this week, but there was
no word from administration leaders
as to subsequent procedure.
Chairman Ashurst OF the Senate
Judiciary Committee said he assumed
the Senate would take up the measure
and settle the issue once for all but
he did not claim to speak with au-
thority.
Senator Robinson, Democratic leader
has refused to comment on the sit
uatlon ever since the Supreme Court
upheld the social security act a week
ago today.
Some opposition Senator's have said
the group of new legislative recon-
mendations from the White House
INDICATED a desire to turn the SPOT
Light away from the court bill with
We" to letting it die, but no con-
nrmatlon has come from administra-
tion spokesmen.
Two OF the newer proposals will
monopolize attention at the Capitol
tomorrow. The President will send
to Congress message calling atten-
ton to loopholes in the tax laws and
asking for legislation to close them
up. A hearing will begin on the
Administrators far-reaching wage
and hour bill.

WAGE, HOUR BILL
|SUP TOMORROW
Senate and House Commit.
tees Will Start Joint
Hearing.

The Senate and House Labor Com
mittees tomorrow start . joint hear.
ing on the administrations new wage
and hour bill.
Robert H. Jackson, Assistant Attor-
ney General, who was member OF the
informal commission named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to draft the measure,
is scheduled to be the first witness.
He is expected to give his views on the
constitutionality of the legislation,
which is a modification OF the out
lawed national recovery act, propos-
ing to bar from interstate commerce
products Of industries which violate
minimum wage and maximum hour
regulations, employ child labor or ig-
more collective bargaining rights under
the Wagner labor relations act.
Opposition Evident.
Sponsored by Senator Black, Demo-
crat, OF Alabama and Representative
Connery, Democrat, of Massa chusetts,
the measure appears to be in for rocky
going. Labor is cold toward it; in
dustry, which consistently has stood
for self-regulation, can be counted on
for opposition, and the New York
Herald-Tribune, in a Washington dis
patch, today said that a spokesman
for the National Grange declared
this Oldest of the farm organizations
might also line up against the legis-
lation.
According to this Grange spokes-
man, what the farming interests fear
most are the political implications"
of Federal regulation Of hours and
wages
Once a Federal board is empowered
TO control these working standards, 1T
is pointed out. pressure groups" of
workers, particularly in campaign
years, would be able to force upward
revision OF wages, and a corresponding
limitation on hours, thereby boosting
prices OF things the farmer must buy.
There is the added fear. also, 1t was
said, that some move might be made
toward bringing farm labor under
Federal regulation.
Unsatisfactory to Labor.
The minimum wage" feature of the
measure is unsatisfactory to the
American Federation of Labor. and
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization has done no more than indorse
the principal of the legislation.
The hearings will give the various
groups an opportunity to air their
views as to the lines on which they
believe the legislation should be built.
William Green. president of the
A. F. OF L.; John L. Lewis, head of the
c. l. O., and DR.. Claudius T Murch-
lson head OF the Textile Institute,
are expected TO be among the early
witnesses.

In 18 States In 1880 the farmer
operators equity, or ownership free Of
debt. was less than 10 per cent Of the
total value Of farm real estate, and in
three Of our best farming States this
equity was under 80 per cent. Thus
in the past half century, while we
hoped we were building a secure rural
foundation for our civilization. we were
actually converting owner farmers
