VgW I VICTORY TERMED
W CLEAR WARNING f
TO INDEPENDENTS
By Paul JMallon
(Copyright, 1937, by Paul Mai Ion)
WASHINGTON. May 21. Some-i
thing went wrong Inside the senate 1
Judiciary committee when It repudiat
ed the president's court packing bill.
At the very mo
ment the com-
mlttee waa rejec
ting the White
House program, an
I eminent oongres-
alonal leader waa
assuring hi assort-
t. Afinttw that
i k""5 .wo
I 1 would not do It.
VI I When the bad news
XfW -f)p w a - brought to
raui .Million mm, ne was su
hocked he would not talk to any
one the rest of the day. At the White
House, surprise was likewise Indicated
The president did not get hla wind
back in time to discuss the matter
In his press conference later that day.
The fact la the presidential major
domos thought they had arranged for
an entirely different result. They are
not saying anything now, except
among themselves, but they thought
th committee waa going to have a
tie vote (nine to nine) on the Logan
compromise. This la a proposal to
pack the court at the rate of one a
year Instead of six at once. Such a
deTelopment would hare saved the
court packing program from the Ig
nominy of a direct defeat. It would
have lifted the Issue out of the
committee to the senate floor for
open discussion with the least pos
sible pain to all.
Everything was fixed for It, or. at
least, nearly everything. The sklda
were greased, all except one skid.
What happened, the Roosevelt
domo say, was-hat oi.uWf the pals
on the committee waa asleep at the
switch. He was supposed to vote
for the Logan compromise, but got
to-voting against all compromises so
fast he did not know when to stop.
The question now has arisen as to
whether he took or waa given a
sleeping powder before the meeting.
If he had voted for- the Igan
proposal, the vote would have been
exactly nine to nine. As It waa, the
compromise waa defeated, ten to
sight, and the committee went on
to defeat the president's plan by
the same score.
What It sems to boll down to is
that the demos did a very bad Job
on the committee, or else some na
tural and unavoidable misunder
standing arose.
At any rate, they were flabbergast
ed and were unable to do anything
about It after It occurred.

TAKESHARPDOWNTURN
PORTLAND, May 31. (AP) Com
bined state end county relief costs
dropped from $232,580 in February
to 1200.576 in April. State Relief
Administrator Elmer Goudy told the
state relief committee at Its meeting
here today.
. He aald the number of cases fell
from the peak load of 88,367 In Feb
ruary to 28.280 laat month, a 19.4
percent decrease compared with the
13.9 percent drop in relief costs.
Groudy explained that the costs
did not fall as much as the number
of cases because unemployable who
have gone off the relief rolls nor
mally are the lightest loads, the re
maining relief clients being the heavy
cost on sea. ,
Families on relief will have their
living standards raised by tbe federal
child welfare program, soon to be
come effective.
The committee approved May bud
gets of 99.964. for blind assistance
and $270,319 for-old age assistance,
the federal government paying half
and the state and counties one quar
ter each.

lief deficit, which he estimated would
reach $103,934 by the end of the
