Norris disclosed that he soon' may offer such an amendment. He would require two-thirds votes in the senate and house to submit an amendment to the people as at | present. The provision for approv- al by three-fourths of the states also would be retained. Voters Would Decide Instead of having legislatures or state conventions act on ratifica- tion, however, the voters them- selves would decide. \If I had my personal prefer- ence,\ said Norris, \only majority i votes in congress and ratification | by a majority of states would be necessary to make an amendment effective. But this probably could not be passed in congress.\ Amendments as alternatives to the Roosevelt court reorganization | bill were receiving renewed atten- tion by the senate judiciary com- mittee. . .wi | Walter F. \Dodd Chicago law- | yer, advocated today constitution- al change rather than what he termed subordination of the su- preme court to \political branches\ of government. Roosevelt, Wheeler Clash . A letter from President Roose- velt read last night at the semi- centennial exercises of the in- terstate - commerce - commission touched on the subject of consti- tutional interpretation. The president recalled that the terms \railroads\ and \automo- biles\. were unknown when the constitution was written, \The interstate commerce com- mission is, indeed, fortunate,\ he wrote, \that interpretations of our charter of liberties have allowed it to function during the past half century, through recognition of the fact that an obviously national need can be met only through having no carrier's permit | viously national action.\ An address by Senator Wheeler (D., Mont.) also was read at the program, declaring: \I am undlterably opposed to dinishing the independent, bi- partisan character of the interstate commerce commission or of the similar independent agencies by placing them . under - executive domination, either indir ctly - as has been the case, or directly as in a pending proposal.\ ° His reference was to the presi- dent's court reorganization pro- posal.

MURDER WEAPON SOUGHT AS 'KEY To SEDEON CBSE New York Sewers Probed For \Sharp Instrument\ BelievefidVUsed DETECTIVES RIP OUT PLUMBING IN HOUSE Slain Model's Dad Faces Police Quiz Today On Gun Posiession NEW YORK, April 2-()-New York city's sewers were explored swer to the five-day old question: murders? Confronted with blind alleys at investigation of the sly and meth- odical killing of Veronica Gedeon, artists' model, her mother and a roomer in their home, detectives sought a sharp instrument of vague description in underground muck, Sewers Searched The 20-year-old \Ronnie cum laude graduate of the night clubs, and her mother Mary were stran- gled, but their roomer, Frank Byrnes, was stabbed repeatedly with a sharp, curved instrument. A search of the sewer system in the Beekman Hill area, a midtown district near the East river, was ordered, and all the plumbing in the Gedeon five-room apartment was to be ripped out in the hunt. Joseph Gedeon, estranged hus- band and father of the women, faced questioning in police lineup incident to his being charged with possession of a fire- arm without a permit, but the were largely routine.

Bus Route Planned Representatives of the Schenck Transportation company, who at-| tended the meeting, promise« that a plan for establishment of a bus route from Hillside Heights to Mineola would be presented to the | civics in a week. If the arrange- ment, as then proposed, is not sat- isfactory, the civics will start plans: for operating their own bus line, Paul B. Mulligan, president, said. Commuters had been riding to, the Mineola station on busses pro- | vided by the Realty Associates, for which users paid $2 a month each, The sudden cessation, civics learned, was caused by the com- mission's decision that the devel-] could not 'un a line for a fee. | The temporary line was re- sumed by the developers yester-| day afternoon, and, the civics were assured, the service will be con- | tinued for one month. Members of the civic committee, a group which is acting for the entire com- | munity in liew of permanent or- ganization, pointed out that if the} Schenck offer is not satisfactory, | they will have three more weeks | in which to organize their commu- | nity line. Asked if anything has yet been done toward founding the commu- nity line, Mulligan said, \That is still in an extremely tentative stage. We have not actually done | anything concrete yet. I feel, how- | ever, that we will not find many difficulties in our path if we find | this step necessary.\ About 50 residents of Hillside Heights jammed the small devel- opment office, use of which was provided by William McGovern, in charge of the development for Realty Associates. REPUBLICAN MEETING G. Wilbur Doughty Republican club of Inwood will meet Monday evening, April 12 at Gonodo hall, Doughty boulevard. Mrs. Madeline Douglas will preside. Detective Ca nolds said: \No no, no, of course not. He has a double hernia and no one would think of striking him.\ But Peter L. F. Sabbainto. a former assistant district attorney, declared he had seen marks of vio- lence on Gedeon's chest and be- hind his left ear. \He has been subjected to a third degree and terrible physical violence,\ he charged last night. \The police have been hounding this old man for nothing. \He told me he had received a terrible beating. I opened his shirt and saw evidence of physical vio- lence. There was a mark of vio- lence behind his left ear. I intend to have a doctor examine him to- morrow and I shall have his body photographed. He should have been arraigned yesterday but was held over 24 hours for questioning. PRINCIPALS!

Serenbetz of Hempstead was called upon to settle yes- terday. Jack Quearles, negro, of 120 Linden avenue, lempstead, was before Judge Serenbetz on a charge of illegally with- holding property. The charge was made by John Berg, ne- gro, of 26 Elm avenue, Hemp- stead. Here is the story told the judge: Quearles owned the front end of a truck and Berg owned the rear end of another truck. They got together and decided to make one truck out of the parts. After the truck was built, the rear end that had belonged to Berg was taken off for re- pairs and it was lost.. Later it was discovered that the rear end had been annexed to the wrong front end. At this point everything be- came so confused that Judge Serenbetz's advice was sought. After hearing the story the judge absolved Quearles of any guilt in withholding prop- erty but advised him to get out of the deal and stay out of similar deals in the future.
