Substitute Court Bill Is Opposed
Washington. Administration forces, abandoning their long fight for the Roosevelt court bill, offered Friday a substitute which opponents said is no better. Opposition leaders said they would try to sidetrack the court measure for the session. They will ask that the substitute be sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee for study. Those in charge of the new bill said they had enough votes to prevent its being sent to the committee, and enough to pass it. They prepared to begin arguments for it on the Senate floor Tuesday.
