Compromise Court Bill Proposes Two New Supreme Court Justices
Washington April 1 A proposed substitute for the Roosevelt court bill would add only two justices to the Supreme Court, removing age retirement conditions. Senator McCarran, a key judiciary member, declined to say if he would back the plan and opposed forced retirement. He noted many judges’ mental faculties at 70 and 80 and urged against constitutional amendments now. Administration aides signaled the President’s campaign for the measure and urged support in Congress.
