ended the costly strike
Sought By Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Administration strategists sought
today to delay a major test of President Roosevelt’s judiciary re-
•rganization program until after a, thorough survey of congressional
trength and public opinion. .....-
Faced with threat of a senate blockade against his proposals and
iemands of liberal supporters for modifications, Mr. Roosevelt was
described as agreeable to a delay f 1
that might be used to enact that
part of his program included in
the justices full pay retirement bill
and possible other measures. ■ *
Radio Debate Seen
Administrative veterans express-
ed belief that such a procedure
might eventually favor the presi-
dent’s general objectives, depend-
ing chiefly on reaction to a series
of debates all over the nation.
That the president would join the
debate with a radio address was
considered likely.
Taking advantage of the pros-
pect of delay, house Democratic
whip Patrick J. Poland of Penn-
sylvania, started 15 aides to work
on a survey of congressional senti '
ment on the program which White
House sources said Mr. Roosevelt
would insist upon.
Foes Fire Big Guns
Administration sources said they
believed the opposition to the plan
had “shot its biggest guns,” gam-
es less than 40 certain votes in the
senate and had only a fighting,
chance to get a majority of a score
of still noncommittal votes in the
chamber. It was admitted, however
that one-third of the senate, firm-
ly united against the program, possible date for a decision to be

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. <UJ>>—
The fate of the Wagner labor re-

na carta—rested today with the
supreme court.
The nine justices, after four days
on the bench listening to the im-
passioned pleas of attorneys for the
government and industry, retired
to their chambers to study the
case. a

Further complicating the line-up
was the obvious desire of many
Democratic members opposing the
plan for a means of compromis-
ing their opposition with their po-
litical position as administration
supporters.

As a result, there was strong

AUSTIN, Feb. 12. <U.R)—Cock-
tails before dinner, wine with
courses and an after-dinner brandy
will be available in Texas hotels
and cafes under terms of a bill
which today was ready for the
Texas senate consideration after
committee approval last night.
The measure, sponsored by Sen.
Weaver Moore, Houston, permits
sales on liquor by the drink In bona
fide eating places, with meals. It
applies only In areas where sale of
lisuor is now permitted in unbro-
ken packages.
Beer Uneffected
It does not affect the sale by
drink of beer and light wines as
now permitted. Another bill to
let cities and towns regulated the
places where beer and wine are
sold was approved also by the com-
mittee.
Record votes were not taken, the
bill being reported viva voce,
The fate of dog racing was link-

King George Has Another Big Worry-
What To Do With Coronation Nightie
LONDON, Feb. 12.—<1‘P>—King<-Earl—who is joint hereditary Lord#use during the coronation

the cause of the crash, could fit
wiUt the conclusions of experienced
airmen who believed that Pilot A,
|R. (Tommy) Thompson misjudged
his altitude when circling to land
tual and . threatened industrial
strife, It was believed possible a
decision might not be forthcoming
until the president’s plan to reform
the tribunal has either been enact-
ed or rejected. „
Administration lawyers are con-
vinced the basic validity of the
Wagner act Is established and that
it will be upheld as applied to con-
cernjs in interstate commerce.
Some lawyers consistently on the
conservative' ade are inclined to
share this view.
Seek Wider Scope
The wider application of the act,
to steel, automobile, clothing and
similar industries, was believed by
many close to the administration
to be foredoomed unless there is
an unexpected and seemingly Im-
possible change in the personnel of
the court before the decision is
handed down.
It is the wider application in
which organized tabor is interest-
ed. Its victory, it was believed,
pervises them and their parimu-
tuels. just as horse racing is super-
vised. The dog bill follows the
Florida statute and divides the
parimutuel wagers 12 per cent to
the track, 3 per cent to the state
and 85 per tent to the betting
pool.
