WASHINGTON, April 34. The tlrst
Infinitesimal feeler toward a move
which might be called a compromise
2ln tne President's
court D&cklne case
T1 "
has been made,
very much off the
I record.
Onn nf th OD-
f $ position leaders on
Capitol Hill sent
I word downtown to
I a presidential ad
vlser suggesting
I that, In view of
the Wagner decl-
I'uul Mallon 8 Ion. it seems
Justices to an already favorable court,
Justices to an already favorable sourt,
so how about working out something
to settle the argument.
The answer came back: "We would
not take less than tour."
The respondent did not assume to
speak for the President, and no one
la now assuming he consulted the
President. President Roosevelt, In all
conversations, private and public, has
Indicated he would not compromise
to the extent of the sixth eyelash on
the sixth new proposed Justice. At
any rate, that ended that.
The only principle at Issue, of
course, still ts whether the President
shall get control of the court by add
ing to It. This Issue csnnot be halved,
by slicing the number or the new
Justices. Either the President does get
control, or he does not.
There la nothing tangible by which
to prove It, but this court dispute
may end by Just going on and on un
til "something" happens. The Presi
dent's spokesmen In congress are In
no hurry to vote: neither la the op
position. Mr. R. Is going off next
Tuesday tor hjs. spring . vacation,
which Indicates his pulling force will
be devoted mostly to tarpon for the
immediate future.
Even now the budget has supplant
ed the court as a primary matter of
congressional concern. Interest In
the Judiciary committee hearings has
been completely lost.
Opposition leaders have always
wondered why the President did not
claim his victory In the Wagner case
and reform his program to attain his
objectives In the way pointed out by
the court. The various answers to
them seem to be: (1) The whole fu
ture NRA program, etc.. was being
worked out on the expectation of an
adverse decision, and adherence to
the derision would require the scrap
ping of all the Inside work that had
been done: (2) the Cohen -Corcoran
group of advisers were so utterly sur
prised by the decision that they
) doubted the genuineness of It, and
still dp.
Mr. Roosevelt Is having difficulty
finding out who his real friends are
these days.
Immediately after he submitted his
appeal for a hold-down budget, up
Jumped the Independent-liberal -progressives
who have generally sided
with him, but have never Joined him
and have always kept one foot in the
door. They demanded a cool increase
of a billion dollars In the President's
relief allotment, an increase which
would ruin ell his carefully laid plans.
And they set out to get It.
The groans of Mr. Roosevelt's treas
ury watchdogs could be heard all
down the mile expanse of Pennsyl
vania avenue to the capttol. They
know that many of the I. I. P.
friends of the White House do not
caro what happens to the budget or
the treasury, provided that It's bad.
They are Inflationists first and
Roosevelt friends afterward. He Is
their leader only when he la going
In their direction.
The movement, of course, will not
succeed. In one way, it may serve
the President's game indirectly by
tending to counteract the really for
midable movement by conservative
Democrats for a curtailment in gov
ernment expanses!
However, such personal occurrences
somenraes nave a profound effect at
the WMt'j House and a reshuffle of
friends s not Impossible.
The Republicans must have heard
something before their Congressman
Tabev proposed that flat 10 per cent
cut in the Agriculture and other de-pa-ttnental
appropriations.
Those who were listening at the
vindow heard the subject first men
tioned at the White House confer
ence of concession si leaders on the
bid?et. It was not considered very
seriously t that time. or. at least,
was taken under advisement, but
something may develop on It. If the
Republcalna have not spoiled It.
A flat 10 per cent slash might work
a hardship on soma depart
ments. Their work would be serious
ly Impaired by an arbitrary cut. A
the some time, there are others which
could be cut lfi per cent without
material dsmace. If something can be
worked out watch will give the Pres
ident power to switch appropriations
from department to department, with
out riving him dictatorial appropri
ating powers and without nullifying
the concretions! r.zhi i m?ke ap-

N on -Committal Senators
Hold Power Senator
Ashurst Minimizes Action
Secret Meet Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, April 24. (JP)
Administration leaders conceded to
night there Is a strong possibility.
If not probability, that the Roose
velt court bill will be disapproved
by the senate Judiciary committee.
Uncommitted senators, who hold
a clear balance of power within that
group, were reported trending away
from the measure as it stands, al
though willing to vite for compro
mise modifications.
Whether they will have that up
portunity became increasingly un
certain, because leaders of both sides
of the great controversy reiterated
their opposition to any compromise.
Although foreseeing possible defeat
in the committee, which begins ex
ecutive sessions on the blU Tues
day, the champions of the measure
minimized the effect of such a vote
on the senate as a whole.
"An unfavorable committee report
will be In no sense a fatal blow."
said Chairman Ashurst ' (D.-Ariz.)
"Everybody knew from the start that
the committee was not for this bill."
The bill calls for an Increase of
six In the membership of the su
preme court, unless Justices past 70
retire voluntarily. Compromise talk
has centered upon an Increase of
two or three, Instead.
Legislators expressed certainty that
such an amendment would, In fact,
be offered by a member of the non
committal group, .Senator McCarrnn
(D.-Nev.)
Realising that their beat chance
of success lies In holding the bill
to Its present form, opposition sei
ators Indicated today they would vote
against all such compromises. Tlie
proponent of the Roosevelt 'bill said
they would do likewise.
The combined votes of proponents
and opposition would be more than
sufficient to block any such alter
ation in the measure. Thus, the
committee would come finally tu a
vote on the bill aa it stands.
Another outcome mentioned aa a
possibility la a nine-to-nine tie In
the committee. This would not bs
sufficient, under the senate's rulee,
to get the measure out of committee.
Special action to do so would follow.
The committee, which adjourned
seven weeks of open hearings yester
day, wsa in recess until Tuesday
when the executive meettnga begin

VITAL DISCOVERY
Preventative Of Thrombo
sis, Cause of Strokes,
Found In Heparin, Dr.
Best Announces.
By Howard Blakeslee
(Associated Press Science Editor)
MEMPHIS. Tenn., April 24. (AP)
Dr. C. H. Best, co-dlscoverer of
insulin, announced today a powerful
new preparation that gives promise
of being a preventive of thrombosis,
the formation of blood clot which
Is one of the highly1 fatal and com
pletely unconquered diseases. , v
One hundred human beings already
have been treated, but this number
ts considered too small to advance
the discovery out of the "experlmen
tM medicine" stage. Dr. Best told the
Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology.
The 'new remedy Is a purified form
of heparin, a substance manufac
tured by the liver in man and ani
mals. It tends to prevent clotting of
blood. Dr. Best has purified the ord
inary form of heparin with the re
sult ite potency Is increased 000 to
700 times.
Thrombosis takes many forma and
strikes down persona of all sges. In
one form, coronary thrombosis It
takes lives of many men of the' ex
ecutive type while they are apparent
ly still in their prime. In tlie brain
the clots result in what Is popularly
celled a "stroke," with usually fatal
results.
In limbs, the clots may not be
fatal but result In weeks of lllncbs
and often in amputation.
Heparin does not dissolve clots af
ter they have formed. But It Is sn
effective preventive. This gives it Im
mediate possibilities because a num
ber of forms of thrombosis can be
predicted by physicians.

WASHINOTON. April 34 AP
Government estimates credited farm

The respective totals were 1.945,
000.000 and 11 .ft 20 ,000,000.
The sharp climb, experts aald, was
caused In part by the upward surge

CONVICTED LADY
INSISTANT GABLE
FATHEROF CHILD
Film 'He-Man' Not Vindic

Who Asks Blood Tests
To Prove Claim.
HOIiLYWOOD, April 34. (UP)
Screen Idol Clark Gable paused long
enough In his film love-making with
Jean Harlow today to announce he
bad . "no vindictive feeling toward
Mra. Violet Wellst Norton, the plump
English, woman who accused the ac
tor of carrying on a more sincere
love affair with her in England 14
years ago and of being the father of
her daughter, Gwendoline.
Although Gable sat in court and
heard himself branded before the
world as the "papa of me oheelid,"
be said he bora no ill feeling toward
the woman and testified against her
only at the request of the govern
ment. The brawny star feels he was
vindicated when a federal court Jury
decided the woman's allegations were
unfounded, and held her guilty of
malt fraud.
It took two hours for the twelve
middle-aged jurors, who listened
mirthlessly to the courtroom farce
to decide Mrs. Norton violated postal
Ihws when aha wrote Gable asking
support for her child. She was ac
quitted of an additional conspiracy
charge.
The Judge freed her co-defendant,
Juck L. Smith, a private detective,
earlier in a directed verdict,
Despite the belief among the jur
ors, her attorneys, and even her
daughter that Gabla was not the
Frank Billings who lived with her
in England, the defiant Mrs. Norton
cried, "H'lm Innocent of the charge.
Hi still think Ouble Is the men and
ttera should be blood testa to prove
't's the papa of me cheelld."
Mrs. Norton faces the possibility
of five years In prison and a 91000
fine unless she Is granted a new trial
or probation. Her attorney will ask
for both at a hearing May 3.
