MOVE FOR VOTE | 1S CHECKMATED Senators Allowed to State Stands. in Record. BACKGROUND— For more then six months Con- press struggled with a court re- jorm program urged by President Roosevelt, entailing the addition of as many as six members to the Supreme Court and the revamp- ing of lower Fedetal courts. After a bitter cont-oversy, the plan affecting the Supreme Court was dropped, it being productive only of retirement legislation for jus- tices reaching the age of 70. Con- gress then turned to the lower court program. The last lurkirg ghost of the presi- dential bill to remake the Supreme Court had fled yesterday when the Benate in less than an hour passed the procedural reform bill for the low- er Federal courts—the mild, almost unrelated substitute for the deceased | ‘White House measure.

Thus would | come the final disposal, for this ses- sion, of the constitutional battle of a century. Vice President Garner, the admin- istration’s chief agent—and a very willing one—in its surrender on the Supreme Court bill. took the Senate by surprise in making swift disposal of the lower court measure yesterday. ‘There had been a brief discussion. ‘Then & minor committee amendment | had been sent to the desk by Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, who ‘was in charge of the bill. “Withou. objection, eried Garner. Then he went right on to passage of the bill itself. ““Without objection the amendments in the nature of a substitute will be agreed to. The chair hears no objec- tion. Without objection the bill is agreed to,” Banged Gavel Passes Measure. These words of Garner ran one upon another. Any one of different mind could not have spoken before the Vice President, showing a delighted smile to the Senators beneath him, banged his gavel in token of the passage of the measure. Senator McCarra oppon- ent of the original court bill, looked a little dazed on his feet. Senator Con- nally, Democrat, of Texas, another rebel on the original bill, had been standing up, ready to explain a section of the substitute lower court measure He let his pince-nez drop to the end of a black ribbon and then allowed himself to fall back slowly into his <hair. ‘Three administration Senators jump- ed to their feet as if they would ob- jJect but they all thought better of it At first Benator Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, belligerent loyal: on the Bupreme Court proposal, was de- manding a roll call, but he did not press his request “Mr. President,” he said, “I desire to be recorded as voting against the bill.” Benator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois non-committal on the original bill (See COURT, Page A-8.)

In addition to a desire that the aid come from “the United States rather than by some other foreign govern- ment,” Hull said the decommissioned destroyers would be kept in running order and “available for instant use.” Otherwise, he said, much work would | be required to press them into emer- gency service “Of course.” Hull said, “this Go ernment would not proceed to ma available any of its naval vessels to | Brazil without making a similar offer to the other countries of this hemi- | sphere.” EMERGENCY LIFTED .

CRIPPLES Weightman and Magruder Called Unsuitable After Fire Inspection. EARLY ACTION URGED BY BOARD'S CHAIRMAN Improvements in Other Buildings Asked as Safety Move to Protect Pupils. (Pictures on Page B-1.) A Fire Department inspection report condemning use of the Weightman and Magruder school buildings for crippled children and urging “emer= gency” improvements to raise safety standards at several other old school buildings spurred District school offi= cials to action yesterday. Mrs. Marion Wade Doyle, chairman of the Board of Educgjion, asked ad- ministrative officers o the school syse tem to work out plans to meet the situation in a manner satisfactory to the fire marshal before the next meet= | ing of the board early in September, The major problem concerned the Weightman and Magruder Schools, where special classes and treatments are provided for crippled children. The Fire Department report declared each building “is unsuited for this class of occupancy (crippled children) and its use as such should be ime mediately discontinued.” It recomse mended new buildings, entirely of fires proof construction, especially designed Additional Fire Escapes. Other “emergency” recommenda~ tions in the report included provision of additional fire escapes or fireproof stairways at the Grant, Jefferson Junior High, Eastern High, Dennison, Wal- lach, Force, Gales and Lincoln Schools to comply with the District of Co- cently enunciated 14-point policy for | lumbia fire escape law” and additional “international self-restraint.” Hull expressed his views last month and had them circulated through dip- lomatic channels to virtually every| world capital. Comment was invited., Formal expressions came from 37 governments, including Great Britain, France and Soviet Russia, the Scan- dinavian countries and most of the South American republics. The de- partment said other countries had commented orally and were dispatch- ing formal statements. Notable among nations not repre- sented in’ the flle of answers were Japan, China, Italy, Germany and Spain. Conflict or aggressive natiomal policies dominate the affairs of these countries. Reaseerted Policy. Hull's statement, made July 16 about the time the Sino-Japanese hos- tilities broke out, reasserted America’s foreign policy as opposed to use of force in international relations and to interference in internal affairs of other nations, In his statement, Hull stressed these points: Advocacy by the United States of international self-restraint, pence!ul( negotiation, observance of interna- tional agreements, upholding the “principle” of the sanctity of treaties, | respect by all nations for the rights of others and performance by-all na- tions of established obligations, strengthening of international law, re- moval of excessive trade barriers, lim- itation and reduction of armaments | | and international co-operative effort by peaceful and practicable means. Gratitying, He Says. Hull said at a press conference that it was particularly gratifying “during | these turbulent times” for America’s foreign policy to attract favorable at- tention from so many governments Anthony Edei., Great Britain's min- ister for foreign affairs, wrote that he was in “full agreement” with the | American policy. | “Mr. Hull's views on the ever-in- | creasing need for the preservation of | peace, the vital importance of inter- | national co-operation in every sphere, | and the methods which are recom- | mended for obtaining these objectives | are shared in common by his ma- jesty's government in the United | exits at the E. V, Brown School and Teachers’ College. “These recommendations and suge gestions,” it said, “are deemed ese sential, primarily from a safety-to- life standpoint of the oecupants, and secondarily, for the physical protec- tion of the property against fire” Several of the recommendations, in= cluding those for discontinuing use of the Weightman and Magruder bulldings for crippled children, called for the same action as urged in a similar report last year without re- sults, it was learned. The current report was submitted to the Commissioners on June 1 by E. L. Jones, an inspector in the office of the fire marshal, and W. R. Car- ter, statistician of the District repair shop, after a thorough inspection of each school building during the Win« ter and Spring. It was forwarded to Dr. Prank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, who is out of the city on vacation. Conference Is Held. Learning through The Star's in- quiries of the existence of the re- port, which will not be considered formally by the board until its Sep- tember meeting, Mrs. Doyle imme- diately conferred with First Assistant Supts, Robert L. Haycock and Jere J. Crane. “They assured me,” she said, “that during the Summer they will work out plans satisfactory to the fire mar= shal.” Mrs. Doyle, Haycock, Crane and Mrs. B. J. Drake, teacher in charge of the classes for crippled pupils, met at the Weightman School yesterday to consider means of obtaining pro- | tection against fire to the crippled children there The School Board's projected five- year building program calls for con struction of & fireproof building near Children’s Hospital, especially designed to care for all types of handicapped | children, and a similar structure near Freedmen's Hospital for handicapped colored children.

The government of Soviet Russia, said its foreign affairs minister, Maxim Litvinoff, considered Hull's views “in accord with the general position of the Soviet government.” [ The Soviet expression particularly | expressed interest in an international principle of “abstinence of all nations from use of force in pursuit of policy and from interference in the internal affairs of other nations.” (Details of Litvinoft's reply will | be found on page A-4.) ‘ Other countries expressing accord | were: Albania, Argentina, Australia, Aus- | tria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Latvia, the Neth- erlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Uruguay, Ven- | ezuela, Luxembourg and the Union of South Africa | .
