PLANS DEFEATED
SUPREME COURT MR. ROOSEVELT'S SETBACK OPPOSITION IN SENATE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received July 23, 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON. July 22 President Roosevelt's proposals for the reform of the Supreme Court were overwhelmingly defeated when the Senate, by 70 votes to 20, recommitted the bill embracing the plans to the Judiciary Corhmittee. The Senate instructed the committee to design a new measure for the reform of the procedure in the Lower Court, but to eliminate the provisions for an alteration of that of the Supreme Court. The decision followed a meeting of the Judiciary Committee, at which opposition was demonstrated sufficiently strong to force the abandonment of the original measure. Congress is expected to adjourn shortly, possibly before the enactment of other important measures in Mr. Roosevelt's programme.
