U.S. SUPREME COURT
Eflorts at Compromise in Reform WASHINGTON, March 3. Efforts by all factions of Oongress to effect a compromise on President Roosevelt's Supreme Court proposals are inereasingly apparent. Abandoning oarlier Republican strategy, the Republicans let their Democratic opponents' proposals take the lead. Senator Vandenberg, in a xadio address, endorsed the Wheelei-Bone Amendment to permit Congress to Qverride the Supreme Court invalidation if the first ten amendments to the Consti* tution in the famous Bill of Rights are excepted from the purview of tho amendment. The way was paved for Senator Vandenberg 's endorsement speech the day before when Senator Wheeler said he was willing to accept the Bill of Rights. Representative Summers, indicating the desire of both sides for a compromise, spoke on the floor of the HouSe urging that it was the patriotic duty of elderly Justices to retire voluntarily in favour of younger men. He stated they could retire without shame knowing they were performing a servipe to the country and co-operating with the Government.
