The bill carried $239,000,000 for the social security board, including $150,000,000 to finance grants to states for payment of old age pensions and for administration of the grants. These two funds were slashed far below the board's original estimates.

Majority In State hamber Votes 'Rebuke' to President By J. H. CREIGHTON BDnnr i McADOO DEFENDS PLAN WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 lPh-Senators Wheeler (D) of Montana and Bond (D) of Washington proposed today a constitutional amendment which would empower congress to re-enact by a two-thirds vote any federal law invalidated by the supreme court. No action would be taken, however, until a new congress had been elected following the supreme court's decision.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17 (Pi A pledge by labor's Non-Paitisan league i to support enlargement of the supreme I court coincided Wednesday with anj expression by the National Grange of doubt as to its wkdom. The entrance of these organizations into the judicial reform controversy first of their kind to speak formally was followed by diverging declarations of three Democratic senators. McAdoo of California and Thomas of Utah urged adoption of President Roosevelt's program, but Van Nuys of Indiana advised congress not to "tamper with the courts or tinker with the constitution." The decision of labor's Non-Partisan league brought to the President's aid an organization which supported him in the 1936 election.

It is headed by Major George L. Berry. Mr. Roosevelt's co-ordinator for industrial co-operation, and John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers is vice president.

The league said it would put all its resources into a national campaign for adoption of the President's suggestion to increase the size of the court if llces over 70 do not retire A national convention of league representatives will meet here in three weeks, the announcement said, and mass meetings will be held in large cities. The grange spoke through its master, L. J. Taber, who explained masters of state granges had authorized the statement.

We doubt the wisdom of giving to any president of the United States at any time the right to change the size of the court because of the age of its members. "We that these propositions be submitted to congress in separate bills Senator McAdoo in a radio speech said he dismissed "as unworthy of consideration" a contention that the President sought to "pack" the court to obtain decisions favorable to administration laws. "I am sure that Franklin Delano Roosevelt is not by nature, character. or PWP0" he said, "susceptible to uiuiaioriai raoies.

UAWA first vice president, who carried into the conference room a proposal for a permanent tribunal to decide "past, present and future" grievances of un- ion workers, said the negotiators were taking up first the matter of how local questions should be considered, then would move to details of a national tribunal. He did not specify whether agreement had been reached on which 'questions were susceptible to local treatment and which required a na-! tional settlement. Mortimer said a specific form of the board to settle grievances had not' yet been discussed.

Withholding details cf the union proposal, he declined tc comment on reports that it contcm-1 plated a five-man national board composed of two representatives from union and corporation, and one neutral member. General Motors was reported Insisting that any settlement boards established should be local rather than rational in scope.
