Ml rniiinnrw nTiiirniiiirn JUMUliz, m lib BY PJtlX MALLON (Copyright, JD3B, by Paul Mallon) Sugar WASHINGTON, June 10 A catchy new "compromise" on supreme court packing has been wafted aoftly with in congress by white house wait ers. It la likely to be the one pressed In the end, Instead of the generally known compio mlses which are being publicly dis cussed. I This one has I sugar all over It. 1 V Jth. Idea Is fauJ MQ11011. mis: iiicrv ten sectional Judicial circuits in the country, but only nine Justices on the supreme court to preside over them. Orderly procedure requires tbe appointment of one more Justice so that each supreme court member will have one circuit under his Jurisdic tion. But procedure should be changed so that (and here la the con centrated saccharine for congres sional palates). In the future, tne Justice for each circuit must be cho sen from his sectional circuit court of appeals. Thus the court would eventually represent all sections of the country land thus also will Judi cial patronage be opened to sections, particularly the south, where ap pointments have been scarce.) A second "but" In the proposition deals with the tough fact that the chief Justice now presides over a circuit It would obviously be unfair to appoint a chief Justice from the same section of the country all wie time, so orderly procedure would again require that the chief Justice be made an eleventh member of the court, appointed from the nation at large. Evening Up ' This Is a well thought-out proposal which Is- the result of more than one sleepless night of official thinking. It sounds so orderly that It successful ly disguises the fact that the presi dent would get two additional su preme court appointments to uphold his legal Interpretations. The Inside force or its appeal, how ever. Is that it is politically Inviting to southern and mldwestern senators now opposing all court packing. The present supreme court Is com posed of Justices from the following states: New York, three (Hugh's. Stone. Cardozo): Kentucky.

(AP) The dumber you are. the bet ter off you ere. a group of nerve specialists told the American Medical association today and cited cases to support their praise of stupidity. Specialists on nervous disease of he body cited results of a group of operations on humans and experi ments on the higher apes in which large portions of the pre-frontal lobes cf the brain, lying Just back of the forehead, were removed. These lobes, they explained, are the centers of Intelligence and reasoning but, apparently, also are the areas where many nervous disorders run out of control. Dr. Ward C.

The only er.mplalnt has come from his wife who believes he should worry more about the things he used to worry about. Dr. James W. Watts and Dr. Welter Freeman of Washington. D.

SENATE PROPOSES COMMUNITIES PAY E FOR RELIEF New Fight Looms Over .Funds Favor Boost in Local Share of Spending WASHINGTON, June 11. ( AP) A senate proposal that local communi ties bear a greater share of tbe fed eral unemployment burden started a new congressional fight todav over the administrators $1,500,000,000 re lief bill.

C.) con tended his amendment requiring local sponsors to provide 40 per cent of the cost of n on -federal projects would make relief funds go further. The subcommittee approved It. 7-8. This group also wrote in a refusal to re-approprlate prospective bal ances from previous appropriations estimated as high as $233,000,000. It placed a limitation on expenditures for administrative purposes. Tbe subcommittee adopted an amendment by Senator Hayden (D., Arias.) to extend the public works program for two years.
