lowing thy resignation of Mr. Juauut

that the Court is not ttbr <wt <f tin;
Tlio talk of ^ "compromise" uu?. ?

tho Prosidiut is l?.*ing urg d mos:
itrt-ngly bv ir-uny of his udviseis, in
and out of Congress to witJuliuw- ins
Coui-t proposal.
It is now regarded by numy i.s
doubtful whether, wiuli all the p li
i-.cul pressure v.'Jwu tin; great- p?\v
.r of his olllco run bits liiiu t?> put
ipon iviaU'itr?nt members of both
iousoh of Cnngivr.s, Mr. Uom.w-lt
could force his Court plan J..rough,
so bitter and well-organiwd is th" op
position to if.. However, politics is
full of surprises, and Mr. ltoo??*v lt
is one of the most |\ soiuveful oi pol
iticians, so it is not wife to call any
filing tiend which he eurfn*tl\ wants
to keep aiive.
Moreover, Congress us u wljole is
not inclined to rojopt tfo ? President's
leadership, on any matter but ;he
Supreme Court reorganization plan.
Kvery m(iiub>r knows that the Presi
dent is niove popular with th* mass,
es thaai Congress is. But Cougress is
discovering thnt.wiih the growth o^
? eonomivj recovery it can get public
support for acts to which the Presi
dent has not given his assent.
Therofpro, i tho current tendency,
which' is gaining strength, of C- n
:?ress to tuko the roina of legislation
into its own hands and ?o reestab
lish iur Constitutional statua of ??
equal and coordinate branch of the
Federal Governuiant, not subse rvient
to the Executive brnnch.
Something of that sojuo revival of (
the spirit at' the independence of tho (
three departments of government
lies behind the strongest opposition
io any net -widen would'nupair tho
independence of i'l^o third brnnch,
the judiciary, "'i

Cougdcss, spe-ak.ng broadly, is Ijocoiii
iug moru resentful of the activities
of so-called " Presidential advisers 1
who have no lo-^nl status ?s such, and I
who aaio often suspr?'t< d of exerc s*'
ing undue influenco and of aJtempt-'
ing to deprive Congress of its right
ful powers. Thep> is grantor ins?s
tence that the President should take
(he lawmakers themselves into h?s
.?onfldenco, and confer with theni
ov?>r now legislative proprsa's.
In short, tk> feeling in Congress i?
(hat tho emergency which, justified
the exaltation of the Pnsid<}itial
oftlco into what amounted to oikt
man government, hits pawd. And
sinco the average Congressman is as

on Capital Hill is to waft-pixlal on

consolidate and make workable the

The Prosid -nt, on t-h*1" other hand,
is said by some who have talked wit'h
him lately to feel fhpt the'emergency
in th? broad sense, has not patesed
He talks of vris s still ahead, giving
the impression that he intends to
urge upon Congress program oi
social reforms bread enough to all"*
\ into all poMorty forever. It is in the
inoerost of that broad and not yet
fully-disclosod program, shrewd <?b
servers here bdicve, that the Presi
dont desires to revamp tho Supreme
Court by adding enough justices who
ean be count d upon to re-foterpre.
the Constitution, wither than to as

Tho latest proposal for a solution
of th<i problem of relief orig'nat?s
vith Senator Hwrpro of Oe?r?da, and
is receiving considerable approval
among Senatora nnd Representatives
who hav.0 long boon concerned ovt>i
! the prospect of continuance of Fed
