These foes said, meanwhile, that administration leaders had agreed i to lay aside the pending court bill until next week to give them chanc to work out another bill. Later, they said, It would be decided whether to send the administration bill back to the committee or make the substitution on the floor. Wheeler told reporters flatly there was no doubt his group had enough votes to recommit the present bill. He served notice they would agree to no compromise which would In- crease the size of Jie supreme court. The opposition leader said his group was willing to work out some reform legislation for the lower courts, to speed action, and permit direct appeals to the supreme court In constitutional cases, but was op posed to "roving Judges," or the proposed proctor to recommend their slgnment. The Wheeler statement coming Just after his conference with Gar ner lent weight to reports from op ponents earlier In the day that the administration waa willing to aban don the supreme court part of the disputed court bill. Spokesmen for the administration were still, however, keeping their Hps tightly closed and would not hint at what kind of compromise they were willing to take.

BY CLOSE MARGIN (Continued from Pegs Cms.) Individually and ths votes were called out one by one. Lletcnlng excitedly, the senators kept a rough tally of the vote as It proceeded.

L SEEN AS PURPOSE OF STATION SHIFT When the present bureau of air commerce radio station south of town Is moved It will probably be shifted to a knoll east of Medford, Fred W. Scheffel. city superintendent today said he had been Informed. Moving of the station was Included t i an airways Improvement plan an nounced yesterday In Washington. D. C. Shifting of the Medford radio station Indicates that the bureau contemplates Installing a landing beam at the municipal airport. The present station sends out beams by which pilots are enabled to keep on their course. There is now no landing beam which leads pilots directly to the Medford field or permits them to make a so-called "blind" landing. It was explained. United Air Lines has its own facili ties here -which correspond to a landing beam. To be effective the landing beam must intersect the course beams, Ur. Scheffel said. This cannot be accomplished at present, he Indi cated, because the radio station is now In line with the airport and thus all the beams would be parallel. An Intersecting beam can be achieved by shifting the radio station, he added. No definite site for the new station has been mentioned, he said. The bureau of air commerce yes terday announced a 5,000.000 pro gram of airways construction where by additional aids would be pro Tided for safe flying.
