PRESIDENT FOUGHT
HARD FOR MEASURE
By GERRY ROBlCHAUD


United Pros. Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP).
President Roosevelt last night
suffered his bitterest defeat OF
the session when a powerful house
Republican insurgent Democrat
coalition killed the government
reorganization bill by sending 1t
back to committee.
It was the most stunning blow
dealt the administration since the
presidents supreme court en-
largement plan was defeated last
year. The vote on recoinmitai
was goa TO 1876.
It came shortly after admins
tration forces, giving way to de-
mands for compromise, appeared
to be leading the fight and on the
brink of passing the controversial
bill which was assailed by foes as
Fascistic and dictatorial.
It was considered a personal
defeat for Mr.. Roosevelt who had
thrown the full prestige Of his Of
flee behind the bill, and publicly
disavowed any aspirations to be-
come an American dictator in re-
ply to the measures opponents.
Voting for recommital were SO
Republicans, 108 Democrats, six
Progressives and two Farner-La-
borites.
Against recommital were no
Republicans, 191 Democrats, two
Progressives and three Farmer
Laborites.

VIENNA, April 9. (UP)-Nazi
police, working quietly behind the
gaudy setting for Sundays plcb-
iscite on Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's
annexation of Austria, last night
rounded up socialist leaders ac-
cused of having plotted to resist
the German invasion with blood
shed.
The socialists, representing So
called "red clements" were said
to have been called into consulta-
ton by the ousted Austrian
chancellor, Kurt Schuschnigg, a
few DAYS before Hitler sent his
armies across the Bavarian iron,
tier into Austria to claim the land
of his birth.
Schuschnigg, now held under
protective" arrest as hitter
prisoner, was said to have offer
ed to arm followers of the social
list leaders.
It appeared that the Nazis were
attempting to build up a case, on
the basis of the roundup OF the
socialists, to place Schuschnlgg on
trial on charges of treason ana
perhaps condemn him to death on
a Nazi headsman's block. -,

IN BITTEREST
BLOW Chief
Little Anticipated Defeat
Was on Issue Of "Con.
fidence Vote"
IS GREATEST LOSS
SINCE COURT ACTION

WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP).
The administration was stunned
silent by its unexpected and over
whelming defeat in the house
where Democrats yesterday rose
suddenly in revolt and joined with
Republicans to defeat President
Roosevelt's reorganization bill.
Defeat had been so little anti
cipated that administration lead
ers had pledged the integrity Of
President Roosevelt's mandate on
the issue.
By their own request the house
was voting on whether or not it
had confidence in White House
leadership when it voted, 204 to
1876, to recommit the bitterly con-
tested bill to committee where it
is effectively dead, at least for
this session.
