BITTER OPPOSITION
TO PLAN IS RISING

Washington, Feb. 13.-(AP)- The
beginning of a historic dispute over
enlarging the Supreme Court took
form this week amid administration
cries of mo compromise" and opposi-
ton predictions of defeat for the Pre-
sident's proposal.
Satisfaction over settlement of the
General Motors strike, arguments
about the Wagner labor act in the
Supreme Court, a presidential recon-
mendation for longtime economic
planning-each had it's place in the
developments of the week.
The main topic at the White House
and Capitol alike, however, was the
merit of the Presidents chosen course
on judicial reorganization.
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's opponents
called for q constitutional amendment
instead, but his supporters called this
a long process. It could be thwarted
by action of ID legislatures, they
pointed out.

sine die adjournment as weary as
semblymen apparently solved their
biggest problems.
The House early this morning pass
ed and sent to the Senate the huge
revenue bill designed to raise approx
imately $75,OO0,O00 during the bien-
nium-exclusive of the highway and
agriculture funds. A TREASURY sur
plus of 100000 as of June 80, 1897,
would be employed to meet q total
general fund appropriation of about
$40 900 OOO-a financial status which
brought smiles to A. J. Maxwell, COM
missioner of revenue, and to Repre-
sentative Bryant of Durham, who
were responsible mainly for the rapid
report of the joint finance committee.
Bryant and Senator Webb, of Lenoir,

Virginian To Speak in SEN
ate Against Plan To Pack
Supreme Court by
Roosevelt
NEBRASKAN BLUNT
IN HIS STATEMENT
Rather Be Right Than
Agree With President,
Burke Says After Hearing
Roosevelt Plead; King,
Van Mugs, Byrnes and
Harrison Call at White
House

Washington, Feb. IL (AP)-
Senator Glass, Democrat, Vir-
ginia, said today NsPresident
Roosevelt's proposal to increase
the Supreme Court unless just
ices over 70 retire was fright
full" He added he was ready
to speak in the Seante against
it.
The caustic Virginian, in his first
program, said:
II am going to speak in the Senate
to say that I am utterly opposed to
it. I think it is frightful proposal,
unprecedented since the founding of
the government.
Il don't mean to say it has not been
suggested before to increase the num-
Der of judges, but just exactly this
proposal is unprecedented since the
foundation of the government.
Glass, a frequent critic of Roose-
welt administration policies, particu-
larly monetary, issued his statement
at the same time as Mr.. Roosevelt
was comforting at the White House
with five Democratic senators, three
of them opposed to charging the Su-
preme Court.
The conference was regarded as an
other presidential effort to win sena-
torial support and solidify divided
Democratic ranks. It produced, how
ever, new evidence vigorous Senate
floor fight was in the offing.
