Washington, June 14.
In words of bitter denunciation, the Senate Judicial Committee has presented a majority report on President Roosevelt's Supreme Court Hill,
The Committee asks for the de- feat of the Bill as a needless, futile and utterly dangerous abandon- ment of constitutional principles, which is presented in a most in- tricate form for the reason that it will thus obscure its real purpose.
"It should be so emphatically re- Jected" adds the report, "that its like can never again, be presented to the free representatives of the free people of America."
