Report Says Bone
Plans 10 Keep Seat
Until After Election
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Bone, Democrat, of WASH
ington was reported today to be
planning to remain in the Senate
until after the November election,
and possibly until his term ends
next January, before taking the
oath as Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals judge.
If Senator Bone serves out his full
Senate term-a course which Acting
Minority Leader White contended
would be breach of good faith
lit would block the interim appoint
ment of q successor by Republican
Gov. Arthur F. Langlie of Wash
ington.
Eric A. Johnston, president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, had been mentioned as a
possible Republican appointee to the
Senate post should Senator Bone
don judicial robes before the cleo
ton of a successor in November.
Senator Bones appointment as ar
Appeals Court Judge for the ninth
circuit was made by President
Roosevelt April /, and the Senate
confirmed the choice the same day
Two members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee served notice
today that they would oppose any
move to reconsider or rescind the
confirmation. Senator Mcfarland
Democrat, of Arizona expressed the
view that under Senate rules it could
not be reconsidered, since the Sem
ate sent formal notice of the con-
f1rmation to the President. Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North Da-
kota also defended Senator Bones
right to remain in the Senate in
definitely.
In 1880 the Senate voted to recall
combinations of three of President
Hoover's appointees to the Federal
Power Commission, after they had
taken their oats, but the Supreme
Court later held the Senate lacked
authority to revoke the confirma-
tons under those circumstances,
