Court Reorganization Program Of
 President Roosevelt Still Puzzling
 Congress With No Sign Light Ahead
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25,-The President was said to have dis cussed the possibility of enacting the court reorganization bill with a clause making its operation con- ditional on the failure to amend the constitution, to permit pro- gressive legislation.
 Administration supporters said today that President Roosevelt would soon send his wage and hour proposals to congress.
 Usually well informed persons said Roosevelt was considering using his court proposal as a weapon to force action on a con- stitutional amendment.
 Senators who have been talk ing to him said however, he had no specific constitutional amend ment in mind but described his opinion as desiring one to limit the courts jurisdiction rather than to extend federal power ov. CT industry and agriculture.
 A national conference on a COT stitutional amendment is meeting here March 18th for a three day program. Noted speakers include Senator Harris who will be the chairman of the affair.
