Virginia Senator and Other
Democrats Block Move
of F. R. to Solidify
Party Division.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (AP)
Senator Glass (D.. Va.). said to
day President Roosevelt's propos
al to increase the supreme court
unless justices over 70 retire was
"frightful." He added he was
ready to speak to the senate
against it.
The caustic Virginian, In his
first statement on the president's
court program, said:
1 am going to speak in the sen
ate, lo say that I am utterly op
posed to it. I think It is a fright
ful proposal, unprecedented since
founding of the government;
'I don e mean to say it haunt
been -suggested before to Increase
the number of judges, but Just
exactly this proposal is unprece
dented since the foundation of the
government." '
Glass, a frequent critic of Roose
velt administration policies, parti
cularly monetary, issued his state
ment at. the same time ns, Mr,
Roosevelt wns conferring at the
White House with five democratic
senators three of them, opposed lo
enlarging tno supreme court.
The conference wns regarded ns
another presidential effort to win
senatorial support and solidify di
vided democratic ranks.
First to arrive were Senntors
King of Utnh, Burke of Nebraska
mid Van Nuys of Indiana. They
have publicly spoken their opposi
tion to Increasing the supreme
court's membership to fifteen.
Following them came Senators
Pvrnes of South Carolina and Har
rison of Mississippi. Byrnes has
endorsed Mr. Roosevelt's program:
Harrison has given it only quali
fied supnort.
Battle in the Offing
The split in democratic circles
over the merits of enlarging the
high court wns heightened by cri
ticism bv Senator Clark of Mis

Roosevelt, "brain truster."
The conference produced, how
