WASHINGTON. May 20. Some un- j
seen power has outplayed President
Roosevelt In. every stage of this
f1" V suprem court
struggle irom the
beglnnl It was
not do:, on the
radio or In the
public prints, but
by a very states
manlike handling
or events.
Names cannot
Ibe mentioned at
X.P. tnlB stage, but It
L "-j"n be mM 'lth
Paul Mallon assurance that
group of men (some within the
court and some within congress) has
been working ardently and forcefully
to fclock or knock down every court
packing move. They have not held
meetings generally, but have been In
communication constantly. They are
not Interested In politics or even In
pro-Roosevelt or a ntl-Roosevelt con
siderations. Some of them are prom
inent In the president's own party,
still friendly with him and desirous
of Seeing his administration succeed.
. Originally, they were drawn to
gether by the fact that the popular
president controlled a great political
and economic authority. He. there
fore, seemed likely to win congres
sional approval for a plan which
they thought would change our sys
tem of government. They felt so
deeply, they were willing to risk their
official lives In an orderly but tacit
venture of opposition.
Tna first evidence of their handi
work was seen behind the supreme
court rectification of Its position on
state minimum wage laws. The last
was the timing of the Van Devanter
resignation.
Few failed to notice that Justice
"Van Devanter announced bta plan
ned retirement so It would reach the
public at Just about the same time
aa the senate Judiciary committee's
defeat of the president's court bill.
Anyone who knows statesmanship
knows thla dulled the edge of what
ever blade of public pressure Mr.
Roosevelt might choose to swing
down upon senatorial heads. It pro
Tided an entirely different setting

TO CHANGE STAND
Closest Senate Advisors Ask
Complete Withdrawal or
Restriction to Two Addi
tional Supreme Justices
WASHINGTON, May 20. (AP)
President Roosevelt's closest senate
advisors were urging him today to
withdraw hla court reorganization
bill or restrict It to two additional
Justices.
They argued that the original bill
no longer Is needed, because the
court is construing the constitution
more broadly and because Justice
Van Devanter's retirement la ap
proaching. Mr. Roosevelt still gave no public
Indication that he would yield. Many
senators predicted he would stand
firm until the supreme court decides
the constitutionality of the social
security law.
There were Indications, however,
of private negotiations for a com
promise. ,
The president himself called Sen
ator Nye (R-. N. D.) to the Whte
House yesterday for a conference,
which Nye would not discuss after
wards. Because developments on the All
all were back-stage, senate discussion
centered today on the possibility? of
Senator Robinson being appointed to
succeed Justice Van Devanter.
Senator McNary of Oregon. Repub
lican leader, said every Republican
vote would be cast for confirmation
of the appointment. If It was forth
coming. He added he would be In
cllned to ask for confirmation with
out even sending the nomination fo
