CHANGE IN COURT
SAYSJOSEVELT
Statement Comes With An
nouncement of Signing of
Measure Providing for
Changes in Lower Court
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. (AP
President Roosevelt served notice to
day that some, reornanizatlon of the
supremo court remains an objective
of his administration.
He made his first publto statement
on the court situation since congress
shelved his demand to enlarge the
hlph tribunal by ono new member
for each present Justice over 70 who
did not retire.
The statement came with a Whlto
House announcement that Mr. Roose
velt had signed a measure providing
for changes In Judicial procedure In
the lower courts. Out of the long
and bitter fight over the court bill
these proposals alone wero retained
and enacted.
Further Action Needed
The president said that the lower
court bill "registers a moderate and
limited advance Into a field which
calls for further and mora complete
exploration."
He listed as being "on the side of
omission" the fact that the bill
"leaves entirely untouched any meth
od of relieving the burden now im
posed on the supreme court."
Thla he then included as one of
the objectives which he said "are of
a necessity a part of any complete
and rounded plan for the reform of
Judicial processes."
