Washington, June 4.—President
Roosevelt told at a press conference
today that there la no question as
to whether his court reorganization
bill will be passed at this session of
Congress.
The President parried over ques-
tions about a compromise, but indi-
cated, by saying that Senator Rob-
inson gave a correct statement last
night, that the Administration might
accept modification.
Senator Robinson said that amend-
ments to the Supreme Court bill
would be offered when it came up
on the floor, to which Senator Burke
of Nebraska, opponent of the pro*
posed legislation, answered with a
no-compromisc stand.
IDRIVER INCLUDED
AMONG VICTIMS
Washington, June 3.— Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, the
majority leader, strongly indicated
after a White House conference
Thursday night the administration
may propose a compromise on the
Supreme Court reorganisation bit.
Robinson at the same time said he
is nqt a candidate .himself for the
Supreme Court vacancy created by
the retirement of Justice Willis Van
Devanter and that it has not been
discussed, with the President.
The Arkansas. Senator said after
the two-hour session at the executive
mansion that the bill to add new
jusltces to the court 1/ incumbent*
over 70 do not retire will be pressed
for action at jhls session.
He quickly added, however, tha£
some amendments will be submitted
and that he may offer one himself,
Won’t Toll Amendments.
Robinson would not disclose what
the amendments will be, saying,
‘You will have to wsit and set."
There have been persistent re-
ports, especially since Justice Vsn
Devanter announced he would- re-
tire, that the administration may be
willing to accept a bill providing for
only two or three "hew justices, in-
stead of the five provided in the leg-
islation as it stands,
Robinson also said the conference
discussed the geneial legislative pro-
gram for the reel of the congression-
al session and said while there Is no
imy<t list, it would be desirable if
Congress seted on the following:
Legislation to help tenant farm-
ers. become landowner*. «’ .
Low-cost housing s’-iJ slum clear-
ance.
Extension of nuisance taxes and
closing loopholes against tax dodg-
