Triumph on Senate Floor
New Aim; Compromise
' Prospects Seem to
Be Brighter.
WASHINGTON, May 19. (AP)
Victorious senate foes of the
Roosevelt court bill turned away
from indications of administration
compromise today In pursuit of a
triumph on the senate floor as de
cisive as the adverse vote In the
judiciary committee.
Opposition leadors said the
measure was dead. They forecast
the compromise advanced unsuc
cessfully in the committee by
Senator Logan (D Ky.), would
prove the now fighting ground.
Iogan, a supporter of the presi
dent, suggested that one addition
al justice be appointed each year
if any members of the supreme
court served past 75. The num
ber would drop back to nine when
the older justices retired.
The Roosevelt bill would permit
an increase up to a membership of
IB if justices over 70 did not with
draw. The court would remuin
permanently at tho number to
which it was raised.
No one qualified to speak for
the administration had conceded
the battle for tho president's bill
bad been dropped, but Logan said
his compromise was fuvored by
Senator Robinson ot Arkansas, the
democratic leader.
This quickly led to speculation
whether Robinson was backtrack
ing from the, .; "no ; compromise"
edict- he rtiltered oh the white
house steps after President Roose
velt's return lust week, or was try
ing to negotiate a compromise
without committing the chief exe
cutive. Opposition leudors and many
others .were convinced tho latter
theory, was correct. Robinson
kept away from the cnpitol yes
