THE EVENING STAR, COURT PLANVOTE NAY BE PEEDED Administration Leaders Dis- | pleased Over Agreement to Delay Decision. By the Assoctated Press. Administration leaders endeavored today to speed a Senate Judiciary | Committee vote on the Roosevelt court bill despite the prospect of an un- favorable outcome. Roosevelt chieftains, claiming suffi- eient votes in the Senate to pass the bill, even in the face of an adverse committee report, expressed displeas- ure at the agreement to delay the eommittee decision until May 18. Date May Be Advanced. Some opposition leaders also ex- pressed a willingness to advance the date in view of the present 10-to-8 | committee line-up against the bill. Chairman Ashurst said, however, he would oppose any change in the vot- | ing. Senator King, Democrat, of | Utah, a foe of the court measure, hinted at an effort to keep it from reaching the Senate even with an ad- verse recommendation. Opponents, particularly Democratic ones, have predicted an offer of com- promise from the administration or a | withdrawal of the bill, in view of !he' unfavorable committee line-up. But | there was no sign of either, on the | surface, in the administration camp. | Prospects Declared Unchanged. Ashurst and other friends of the hill insisted the adverse announce- ments by three committee members earlier this week had not changed the | , bill's prospects in the Senate One administration Senator said the | bill would get today the votes of at least 50 of the 95 Senators. Some committee members expressed the belief that by the time the com- |~ mittee meets again Monday, Presi- dent Roosevelt will have indicated | whether he might accept any modifi- eation. | Duke of Kent Chester, N.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.,, April 30.—The Comymercial Appeal said last night “political ~grapevine” reports here were that Gov. Browning has. de- cided to appoint Mitchell Long, Knox- ville attorney and chairman of the State Democratic Executive Commit- tee, to succeed the late Senator Nathan L. Bachman. “The grapevine predictions are that the Governor will become a candi- date for the senatorial seat in the August, 1938, primaries,” the paper said, “rather than for the traditional second term as Governor.” LINDBERGH MEETS KENT Sees Duke at Opening of New Air Ministry Headquarters.

MANILA, April 30.—Suffrage lead- | ers and interior department officials said tonight they believed Philippine women had won a smashing victory to gain constitutional suffrage. Heavy voting during the afternoon, officials said, led them to expect the number of positive ballots would go far above the 300,000 necessary. At least a week will elapse before the total vote will be known, they as- serted. The suffragists were backed by Commonwealth President Manuel Quezon and many national and pro- vincial officials in & vigorous campaign. Under a constitutional provision, if the women poll 300,000 votes in the plebiscite, they will become the only national feminine group in the Far East to gain suffrage. Women voted in the Commonwealth constitutional plebiscite in May, 1935, casting less than 200,000 of the 1,- 250,000 votes, after which they lost their voting rights pending today's balloting. Taxes on Women Proposed. Some observers speculated whether ! a last-minute movement by some legis- | lators proposing taxes on women might ‘ have an effect on the plebiscite. Several legislators have suggested that if women gain the right to vote, | they should pay a cedula, or head tax, | of $1 annually. During the campaign, suffrage leaders stressed there would | be no taxes levied if their measure won. 1 uke FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT BECAUSE IT TASTES SWELL \uxe FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT BECAUSE IT KEEPS MY SKIN CLEAR AND MY WEIGHT DOWN FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT brimming with flavor—brimming WASHINGTON, D.
