Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democratic
whip, who conferred with the Presi-
dent yesterday, predicted a quick set
tlement Of the court controversy. He
said the issue would be disposed of
this week without leaving a rift in
the Democratic party
Lewis, one of the Is Senators
hitherto uncommitted. made it plain
that although he did not like the
court BILL he would vote for it rather
than have all judiciary reorganization
defeated.
His statement gave the administra-
ton 80 publicly-declared votes against
Al publicly-opposed
The President has known l had
in all of these months of legislative
warfare on the judiciary bill, not
favored the plan and form of the
legislation" Lewis said. But I could
not approve any course that humil-
lated the President and served to
crafty political or personal enmities
under the pretense Of opposing the
court bill.
L am now anxious to bring about
any measure that will serve the OBJ
ject of the President in reforming the
Supreme Court, but in a manner
within the Constitution, and which
avoids the rift in the Democratic
majority.
If the substitute is the only meas-
ure that can be brought out as the
result OF the best judgment and action
of the Senate, then I will vote for
that rather than to have the President
put in the position Of being defeated
and dishonored by his own United
States Senate"
The Lehman letter to Wagner, which
took the Capital by surprise, said the
Presidents program as a whole repre-
sented great step forward in social
legislation, but that the court bill
would be contrary to the interests Of
the people and would create greatly
dangerous precedent"
Postmaster General Farley said Of
Lhman's letter: Il was not at all
concerned when read the message"
Other supporters said it would make
no difference in the outcome.
Foes of the court bill, however,
hailed the letter as 'the final death
blow" to the measure.
All that remains is to call the

Nine-Power Group Adjourns
Without Facing Test
on Eden Plan.

LONDON, July 2O.-A nine-power
committee Of the hands off Spain"
group Of 27 European nations ad-
journed speedily today without facing
what British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden said would be its stand
or fall' test.
The only discussion was on the pro-
vision OF Britains compromise plan for
non-lntervention in Spain assigning
observers in Spanish ports
British observers said the subcom-
mlttee agreed in principle to the plan
which would substitute the observers
for the international control fleet from
which Italy and Germany have with
drawn. They said a technical SUBJ
committee would devise an operating
plan.
The prime issue was expected to be
the proposal to grant limited bellige-
rent rights to both sides Of the civil
war.
Lord Plymouth, British chairman
OF the non-intervention committee.
presided at the meeting at which
France, Germany, Italy. Portugal, Bel
GUM, Russia, Czechoslovakia and
Sweden also were represented.
Whatever their difficulties, what
ever their preoccupations, whatever
their provocations. said the foreign
secretary, II pray that nations who be-
gin their work tomorrow will never
forget the alternative. 1t should be
their signpost to success"

plan to revitalize the system of keep

Franco gave indications yesterday to
his royalist followers that the Spanish
monarchy eventually may be restored
In an interview in the royalist news
paper ABC of Seville, Franco made
fewer conditions about restoration
than in his proclamation last Spring
uniting all the insurgent parties.
The insurgent leader showed in
creasing favor toward 24-year- -old
Prince Juan de Bourbon, third son
OF former King Alfonso, as successor
to the throne his father was obliged
to leave in 1881.
The insurgent leader indicated there
was no hope, however, for return of
Alfonso himself, when he said:

arrives, the new monarchy ought to
be very different from the one that

ALBANY. N. Y, July 20.-Nev
York's political circles discussed today
the possibility that President Roose.
velt's self-styled strong right arm
had been "self-severed.
In the wake Of the unexpected oppo-
sition of the States Democratic Gov
Herbert H. Lehman to the Presidents
court reorganiza ton bill, Republicans
and Democrats joined in the unofficial
debate
While he was Governor of New York
from 1928 to 1882 Mr.. Roosevelt often
called Lehman, then Lieutenant Gov
ernor, my strong right arm" Lehman
Wcceeded to the governorship in 1888
A high Republican official who re-
fused to be quoted professed to see in
Lehmans letter to United States Sen
ator Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, OF
New York, asking him to oppose the
proposal, an indication the strong
right arm has become self-severed"
Severance Doubted
At the same time, a Democratic
leader, who likewise declined to COM
ment publicly, doubted any severance
pointing to the portion of the Gov
ernor's letter praising his predecessors
social program and asserting:
L look forward to the opportunity
bf continuing to support his courage
ous leadership In matters that are ir
the interest of the social well-being Of
Dur people"
The Democrat added that it may
be possible" the letter was written tc
give the President an out" on the
plan which has precipitated protracted
congressional debate.
Sign of Salvation
Others, both Democrats and Repub.
licans. held the belief Lehman's state
ment was timed to delay temporarily
the pending vote on the proposal, and
one anti-New Deal Democrat saw the
letter as "a hopeful sign of party sal
vation."
Lehman, vacationing at Hot Springs
Va. declined to discuss his action, as
did Senator Wagner, an ardent sup
porter OF the New Deal.
Republican Assembly Speaker Os-
wald D. Heck was the only State legis-
lative leader who would be quoted.

pleased to hear close friend Of the
President OF the United States has
seen fit to disagree with him on this

fronts, the government command
Speared back OF the insurgent lines
west Of Madrid with aerial operations
calculated to demoralize the fresh
troops and shatter their lines of sup
ply.
Government bombers dumped heavy
cargoes OF explosives on Navalaga-
mella by four raids In yesterdays
operations alone. Thousands of insur-
gent troops were being rushed to the
Valdemorillo and Quijorna sectors in
an effort to pinch of a 100-square-
mile pocket which government troops
had carved out of insurgent territory
In two week offensive.

from which lnsurgent infantry attacks
were being launched against the west

an equilateral triangle formed by its
line to the Valdemorillo and Quijorna
sectors, is about 80 miles from Madrid
and about five miles from each of the
other two towns, which have fallen to

The insurgent hope Of seiMng

hammering back the siege lines rested
in the immense, co-ordinated opera
tions Of infantry divisions, artillery
and airplanes.

OF Miaja's salient in a steady pressure
from Villanueva del Castillo toward
Villanueva del Pardillo.
The virtually hand-to- hand fighting
was carried on under blistering Sum-
mer sun.
An insurgent patrol of pursuit
planes roared into the Navalagamella
sector after the first two of the gov
ernment's four air raids there yester-
day. A brief air battle ensued but the

escape after bombing 20 truckloads of
reinforcements.
