It is considered that the passage of the Bill may be facilitated as it also provides for general reorgani- ention of the United States Judicial system, which is admittedly needed.
The New York Times warns Con- gress to be on its guard against poli-

The New York Herald-Tribune. says that the proposals, if enacted into Law, will end the American State us It has existed throughout Its long years of life.
The Bill has already been intro- duced in the House of Representa- Uves by Mr. Maury Maverick, De- moerot af Texas, and the Democro- tic Whip predicts that there will be a lot of oratory" but the Bill will go through.Reuter,
