The points on which - the house conferees asked new in structions included $65,000,000 for cotton subsidies, $2,005,000 for enlarging Yosemite national park in California and an au thorization for a congressional delegation to attend n inter parliamentary union conference in Europe next month. The cotton provision developed a battle-royal. A division vote in the house showed 157 in favor of the cot ton subsidies and '93 against. While members shouted objec tions to that time-consuming pro cess, the opposition demanded a roll call vote. The roll call showed 199 for the cotton loan provision and 129 against.

The difficulty was not with the constitution, Mr. Roosevelt told congress, but with the court's pre vailing method of Interpreting it. Some way must be fonnd, he said, to bring the objectives and the philosophy of the three branches of government into agreement. - At the same time he outlined an ambitious legislative program designed, he said, to Improve the economic lot of the Inadequately clothed, ill-fed and poorly housed. Covn-t Program Is Signal for Fight - On February 5 he sent to con gress his plan for revamping the supreme court, and on that day party lines vanished, in both branches' of 'the- national legisla ture. The one great controversy Of the session . was on. , One after another democratic senators ; announced their, opposi tion. Although they included : s few men' known as liberals, such as Senator Wheeler of Montana and Senator O'Mahoney of Wyom ing preponderantly it was the conservative democratic group which joined the opposition. Democratic leaders in congress pleaded with the president for . a compromise. He refused. The supreme court handed down a se ries of opinions in which the con servative trend of its prior deci sions seemed effectively changed.

Come in and look them over. personal the change in the court's attitude, the pressure for compromise be came too great for the president to withstand. He commissioned Senator Robinson of Arkansas to work out ; the most acceptable compromise possible and left the battle to him.- ' - " Robinson did so. He brought out a bill to permit the appoint ment of "six new Justices, but to limit new appointments to one each year, so that there wonld be no sudden and overwhelming ad dition to the tribunal. Robinson, persons in a position to know have said, had personal assurances of 51 senate votes for the bill. . But Robinson i- died and his passing "threw congress into confusion.- .".-'V 2 Most of the senate went to Lit tle Rock tor Robinson's funeral, and converted his funeral train into a bickering political conven tion on wheels. . Defeat Is Complete : The conservatives were lining np behind Senator Harrison of Mississippi for the leadership, the president's supporters were back ing Senator Bar kley of Kentucky. Bark ley, undoubtedly the p r e s i dent's choice, won by a single vote. M e a n w h i 1 e, the clamor for abandonment of the court bill or for another compromise had in creased. Mr. Roosevelt called no brain-trusters to the White House. He sent for the old political re liables, Vice-President Garner, Berkley, 'Harrison 'and ' Senator PIttman. Garner "was , ' told to work what ; he could out of the situation. . ; ' '" Next day, he went .to the office of Senator Wheeler (D-Mont), floor leader of the opposition. "Burt," he is reported to have said, "write your own ticket" Wheeler did. Instead of an increase in the size of the supreme court, Mr. Roosevelt got only a bill dealing with procedural reforms In the lower courts. The combination of conserva tive democrats and republicans pouring in to our the world's most Louis and New York . . . a Riot of Color and Style Perfume, and Pajamas had beaten him to a standstill. And, having tasted victory, the appetite of the conservatives, was insatiable. ' They ' wrote restrictions into the housing bill; they vrot: broad exemptions Into the admin istrations cherished bill to fix maximum hours and minimum wages in Industry, they blocked an ambitious plan for the reorgan ization of the government and they forced a postponement f farm legislation until next fu sion. President Hits Back But the president came right back of them. To Van Devanter's place on the supreme court, t,e nominated one of the senates mont extreme liberals; Black of Ala bama. These developments, although concentrated In the senate, had their counterpart in the house, where, illustratively, a comblna (ion of southern democrats and republicans on the rules commit tee stopped the senate-approved wage-hour bill In the rules com mittee. , '- ' ''. Thus the session ended with the battle on and both sides breathing fire. The conserva tives In congress made no secret of the fact that their backs wers np and only a few days before ad journment, Mr. Roosevelt showed himself to be in no mood for sur render .or t compromise, by his speech on Roanoke Island, N. C. . While the session was notable principally for the things that were not done, on the positive side several important pieces of legislation were enacted. The much riddled housing bill got through, a modified version of the Guffey coal control act wasenacted, nearly $9,400,000, 000 was appropriated (accord ing to estimates of Senator Glass of Virginia), a neutrality act re quiring belligerent customers of American Industry to transport their own purchases was passed, and a farm tenant bill and a bill to prevent tax evasions were approved. departments, outstanding
