COURT BILL TALKS MAY RIVAL MARK Senate Debate for Months Likely Unless Compromise Is Reached. By the Assoclated Press. Senate debate on the Roosevelt ocourt bill may rival some of the most historic congressional contro- versies, unless a compromise is reached in the meantime. Many Senators already are prepar- ing the speeches they expect to start about June 1, when the measure prob- ably will reach the floor. Since virtually every member in- tends to air his views for at least &n hour or two, Senate leaders fore- saw many weeks of argument, barring & change in the present situation. There was no question of limiting debate. Imposition of such a rule would require & two-thirds vote, more than either side can muster. Neither the bill's champions nor foes showed any inclination to muffle discussion. While Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana and a few other leaders of the opposition said they were ready for a filibuster, “if that proves neces- sary,” there appeared to be little pros- pect at present of such an organized delay. Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne- | braska, contended the opposition would welcome an early vote, on the ground that it is “absolutely certain” of enough Senators to defeat the bill. Few congressional attaches ex- pected any of the addresses to reach the length of “Old Bob" La Follette's 18-hour oration in 1908 or Huey Long’s 15-hour speech in 1935. Those | were delivered during minority filibus- ters, rather than in prolonged general debate. Unless it should drag into next year, the court controversy cannot surpass | the non-stop oratory mark established | during consideration of the Versailles Peace treaty. 10. 1919, touched off nearly nine months of continuous argument.

Earlier in the day, the girl had walked out of the apartment of John L. MacDonald, 3800 Fourteenth street, with $29.70 and two watches. She had been found in the apartment by MacDonald, but convinced him she had been sent there on an errand to get his daughter's purse. Learning the identity of the girl, Tenth Precinct Detectives C. E. Can- non and Irving Rosenberg stationed themselves near her residence to await her home-coming. About the time she ordinarily would arrive from school, the girl came home. Spotting the detectives, she dashed into the house. They were close on her heels when she ran out the back door. “With the agility of a cat,” the offi- cers said, she climbed fences and then ran “with the speed of a deer.” The detectives waited until 3 a.m. today at the residence, hoping she would re- turn, but she didn't.

Investigators of two Federal depart- ments sought evidence from the moun- tain folk of Kentucky today to learn whether Federal laws had been vio- lated in the labor troubles of Harlan County. Attorney General Cummings, acting on complaints he said “paint a sordid picture of violence and terrorism,” ordered Federal agents into the moun- tains to ascertain if mine operators had violated the national labor rela- tions act. Special agents of the Internal Rev- enue Bureau studied the records of Harlan County public officials to de- termine whether they had obeyed the income tax laws. The “G-men” and the special agents studied testimony before the Senate Civil Liberties Committee, in which miners blamed mine guards and com- pany-paid deputies for violence to union organizers, During the hearings, Sheriff Theo- dore Middleton he invested more than $100,000 since 1934, and that hig salary never exceeded $5000 a year. Refusing further details, he added that testimony “might involve me in an income tax suit.” Cummings seid he based his in- vestigation on complaints from the committee and from John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization. “If the investigation discloses offenses under Federal jurisdiction, vigorous and prompt prosecution will follow,” the attorney general said. Justice Department officlals added that Gov. Chandler of Kentucky had urged an immediate inquiry by Fed- eral agents, ‘They indicated prosecutions might be besed on a little-used “civil rights” section of the criminal code, under which persons depriving any citizen of his rights under Federal law may be punishel by a year's imprisonment and $1,000 fine. Secretary Robert Wohlforth of the Senate committee said he would make all of his records available to the department's agents and .end them some of his “experienced Harlan County investigators” of necessary. He said the committee’s inquiry had produced ample evidence that union members had been killed, their meet- ings broken up and their homes riddled with bullets by deputy sheriffs on the pay roll of coal companies, e SR The Philippines may break the 1936 record gold output this year. $6.50 We have just opened up the most ottractive line of | White Shoes that it is pos- sible to assemble.
