COURT BILL ATTACKED
BY SENATOR WHEELER
WASHINGTON, July 9—Against
the Roosevelt Administration’s judi
cially reform bill, Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Democrat of Montana, one
of the leading opponents of the meas
ure. launched a vigorous'attack today
in the upper branch of congress. In
anticipation of his. address, the Sen
ate galleries were packed and crowds
were waiting outside the capitol. de
spite the oppressive heat, long be
fore the opening of the session.
The Montana Senator, before start
ing his argument, put into effect his
nr. viouslv expressed intention of not
permitting the Senate to transact
ny 1 ,iness outside of privileged
mattes as long as the judiciary bill's
upporters clamp down strict rules
as to debate on the measure.
When an effort was made today to
introduce in the Senate a new farm
bill. Senator Wheeler objected, and
then said he would enter objections
to all o.her such business requiring
unanimous consent, as long as the
ourt measure is under consideration.
The Senator’s attitude indicates
there will be a big legislative jam.
which would prevent early adjourn
ment of congress for the summer.
The Senator opened his attacks on
the judiciary bill with the assertion ,
that never before had he seen ‘‘stxifc
an appeal V> the prejudice^ of ttre 1
people” as has been made 'tjs the ,
Roosevelt Administration forces tr I
gain support for the measure
