REFORM OF COURT
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S DEFENCE OF PROPOSALS United Press Association —By *tl—t-rte Telegraph—Copyrlvbr (Received March 4, 10.35 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 4. The Washington correspondent of the "New York Times” says the belief that President Roosevelt was likely to make a strong statement in support of the Court proposals in his address tonight at the Democratic Victory Dinner, became general here after a conference between the President and the Congressional leaders. It was indicated that his remarks would be preliminary to an even stronger defence in the fireside chat arranged for March 9. It was learned, however, that many advisors urged Mr Roosevelt to avoid any reference to the Court at the dinner owing to the opposition within the party.
