Congress balks at Roosevelt policies in early session
Washington reports four months into the session, Congress balks at Roosevelt policies vital to the New Deal. Sen. Pat McCarran proposes a substitute for the Supreme Court bill adding 11 justices, revising his earlier plan for six new justices. Byrnes predicts relief totals trimmed to 1 billion and local cost-sharing required. Executive reorganization may be pared to a comptroller general function shift, creating an auditor general to oversee expenditures. Senate leaders urge keeping court matters before the judiciary committee before touching executive reforms.
