Roosevelt Fights Court Plan as Nation Faces Problems
President Roosevelt rallied supporters at a Victory dinner in Washington urging immediate action to reform the Supreme Court and restore Congress’s power to tackle social and economic issues. He defended his timeline and warned against judicial obstruction, while denying any bid for a third term. The address emphasized solving today’s problems through new policies and challenged accusations of dictatorship. In Helena Montana, the 60 day legislature stalled near midnight and approved major money bills lowering the chance of a walkout, while voting on liquor and tax measures and killing a $25,000 impeachment funding bill.
