PRESIDENT
ASKS CHANGE
IT
New Judge For Each
Member Over 70 Is
Sought; Reforms In
Entire Set-up Seen.
WASHINGTON, Feb.
President Roosevelt today propos-
ed to congress sweeping reform
I of the judiciary including ;he
right to appoint as many as six
new justices of the supreme court
if present justices over 70 years
old do not choose to retire.
The sensational proposal of the
president was submitted after con-
sultation at an emergency session
of cabinet officers and congres-
sional leaders.
Squarely T° Grips
Mr. Roosevelt’s plan, submitted
on the eve of supreme court ar-
gument on the controversial Wag-
ner labor act, brought the New
Deal squarely to grips with the
frequently discussed issue of con-
stitutional change and supreme
court reform.
The president’s proposals for
new legislation, submitted in a
special message to congress, were
immediately referred to judiciary
committees of both house and sen-
ate for speedy consideration.
Mr. Roosevelt asked authority to
appoint additional federal court;
judges and justices in all cases!
where the sitting judges has reach-
ed the age of 70 and does not;
choose to retire.
Contains Proviso
The draft of proposed legislation
submitted by Mr. Roosevelt con-
tained a proviso that the supreme
court membership should not be in-
creased to more than 15 justices
under this program. Since six of
the present high court justices
have reached the age of 70, Mr,
Roosevelt would be empowered to
name ;six more justices under the
proposal.
The president’s plans—submit-
ted-to congress-with a suggestion

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.—ltLPi
—The Pacific coast reopened fts
strike-locked ports today. A com-

The men voted 85,906 to 5,036 to
accept the tentative agreement/
and return to work.
The agreements provided pay
increases ranging from $10 to $15
a month, cash payment for over-
time, and working conditions
"standardized as far as possible.”
The men had sought pay increases
ranging to $27.30 monthly.

their opinion are best fitted for
the jobs at hand.”
It was the longest and costliest
maritime strike. It tied up 300
ships from Seattle to San Diego,
swept American merchantmen off
the Pacific, choked off food lines
to Hawaii and Alaska and cost an
estimated $830,000,000 in lost bus-
iness and wages. But it was free
of violence except for minor out-
breaks between rival longshoremen
