Substitute For Court Bill Gets Consideration
Washington June. A proposal by Senator Andrews to enlarge the supreme court to 11 members drew Senate attention as a possible substitute for the Roosevelt judiciary bill. Administration leaders reportedly favored the idea, with a qualification allowing one extra justice per year and a retirement age proposal of 75. Opponents noted Hatch’s fluctuating-size court plan remained under consideration and Burke urged action on any enlargement within a day with major revisions unlikely.
