Senators balk at court plan and tax moves in Congress
A Democratic majority in the Senate Judiciary Committee issued a lengthy report opposing President Roosevelt's court-packing proposal to add six justices. Meanwhile in the House, Democrats defeated a District of Columbia income tax bill, voting against taxing lawmakers and staff.
