THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1937. Iv)iail ‘)7 Izliaska Em I;irc ROBERT W. BENDER Editor and Manager ‘.m_v in a ree their reason: Some of the Progressives and regular Democrats, who burst forth against the Presi- dent’s court plan when first announced, now are secretly running for cover. The boys are hearing from farm and labor organizations back home, and it workies them. Several come up for re-election next year, and they have vivid memories of the large chunks of ice which labor and agriculture cut in last year's Republican debacle. In the hope of “saving face,” also of draw- ing the teeth of the President’s scheme, they have been agitating under cover for a “com- promise.” Compromise formula getting greatest sup- port is to appoint only two new Supreme Court Justices instead of Roosevelt’s six. This plan has been discussed by some of the opposition leaders, among them Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana Democrat, and Senator Hiram Johnson, California Republi- can. Neither of these Senators is enthused over +the idea. A lot will be heard about compromise plans in the coming weeks, but their advocates are wasting their breath. Roosevelt will accept no compromise. The President_believes that if the Senate turns him down, there will be a political up- heaval in the country in 1938 which will rock Congress to its foundations and sweep the opposition into oblivion. So he is refusing to do any horse trading. He wants all or nothing.
