No. 55. lloilSfn, M IIUL WL WW M 'SSTO1 l n V By PAIL MAI.LON. (Copyright, 1037, by Paul Mallon) ' WASHINGTON. May 24. Mr. Gar ner, the V. P., has been looking up the railroad time tables to Uvalde. fMore than that, w he has made a mental reservation to go home around the middle of June a .aana stay mr ; I iscaston of con- cress. SML il His Dlanninc ha .developed to the 1 I point where he Is rani Ala lion, received presiden tial permission. The understanding la he will delay his departure If it appears the supreme court Issue or any other hot subject may reach a tie, requiring his vote for a decision. But such a possibility Is not now anticipated. This, of course, Is far more than a social Item. If a V. P. has ever pulled up and gone home under sim ilar circumstances, the record boots do not show It. Mr. Garner's asso ciates say his health la good. He wants to do what he can to further the president's program. But If it Just comes down to a question of presiding over and listening to the senate all summer, he thinks he might Just as well be home fishing. Mr. B. may want to talk him out of It later, but enough people at the capltol know about the early vaca tion plan now to warrant the as sertion that It is definite. The importance of Mr. Garner's present Inclination lies In the fact that many congressmen also seem to feel that way. Certain groups are Interested In their own group Issues nnnr rurifflno Hf-1 fla farm hftWWf . labor, etc. But, as a whole, the un spoken undertone In congress Is de cidedly weak toward much of the presidential program. Pew feel there Is much sufficiently vital to warrant them slaving here through the sum mer heat. At the same time, the leaders In sist the president ts determined not to permit a recess for the summer and a resumption of business In the fall. He naturally wants to keep con gress here been use the heat Is in his favor. As every legislative stu dent knows, the time to push doubt ful bills through ts near the end of the session when all are Impatient to get home. (Continued on Page Pour.)

COURT PACK PLAN DESPITEJICTORYi No Signs of Withdrawal by White House Farm and Wage Legislation Urged First. SALAMANCA, Spain, May 25. President Roosevelt expressed pleas ure today over tho supreme court's I decisions upholding the social se-1 curlty act and said he hoped the ! court would adhere to the same Ml- I man point of view in Important cases yet to bo decided. The president made this Informal statement at a press conference after which a high administration source had expressed the same view earlier in the day with the added statement there would be no comprom.se on the supreme court reorganization bill. WASHINGTON. May 25. (pi A I high administrative official reaffirm ed today President Roosevelt's "no compromise" stand on supreme court reorganization. He said there was no indication ; the president would permit his court 1 bill to be withdrawn or changed de spite the fact the government had won 12 Important cases and lost none before the high tribunal this year. He spoke after the court's valida tion of social security legislation yes terday started widespread speculation as to whether the administration's attitude toward Its demand for new Justices would change. Senator Burke (D.-Neb.), an oppo sition leader, said the administration's victories In the unemployment In surance and old age pension cases "knocked the last prop from under the court proposal," - . - - - Leaders Firm. Striker Bankhead and Senate Ma jority Leader Robinson of Arkansas, on the other hand, claimed the de cision would have little effect on the dlpute. Many In the capital, nevertheless, forecast an eventual compromise. President Roosevelt has let It be known several times that he planned no relaxation In his efforts to put his court bill across. The administration spokesman said that the court problem, as the ad ministration views It, is not shown entirely In recent opinions. The la bor standards legislation proposed to congress yesterday, he said, some day will present a completely new Issue to the court. A court with a large group of rec ognized "liberal" Justices would go far toward assuring 'validation of this and other future administration law?, he said. Emergency Ended. An "emergency no longer existed, opponents declared, contending con gress now could devote Its energies to other major legislation. These four possibilities received the most discussion: That wage and hour, farm. Gov ernment reorganization and national planning legislation would get pre cedence over the court bill. That the bill Itself would give way to a constitutional amendment to compel retirement of Justices at 70 or 75. That a compromise authorizing the president to Increase the supreme court by two Justices or some sim ilar proposal would forge to the front.

WASHINGTON, May 25. (AP) The agriculture department advised the house public lands committee today It is more capable of :ti ministering western Oregon's revised railroad nd wagon road grant lands than Is the Interior department. It proposed an substitute bill for an interior department measure now be fore the committee. The agricultural department pro possl would provide for the payment to the state and counties of a Just equity In the land estimated up to $11.000,000 and then place the some 3.000.000 timbered acres under the forest service with revenue going Into the treasury. Such a program. For ester L. F. Knetpp estimated, would take around 10 years. The Interior department asks re vision of present statutes to permit a redistribution of revenue among the states, counties and federal govern ments. All funds now received from timber and lands sales In the grant land area are going to the counties In lieu of taxes. Asked by Chairman Do Rouen (D,. La.) If the forestry service could handle- administration more efficiently than the Interior department, Knlepp replied: "Very definitely." Representative James Mott of Sa lem. Ore., reiterated he had no ob jections .to forest conservation fea tures of the interior department measure but opposed the remainder of the bill on the ground It would Jeopardize revenue now going to the county Guy Condon, Roseburg. Ore- repre senting the 18 land grant counties, took a similar stand. He also offered an amendment to the sustained yield provisions of the bill which would make mandatory requirements that sale of timber be made up to a maxi mum of a half billion board feet an nually "provided that the same can be done at reasonable prices on nor mal market."
