It will be at least another week, weaver, before the compittee m get to work on the numerous proposals for modification and for constitutional amendments de- signed either to fortify or sup- plant the administration program. No Compromise Admitted Uncommitted senators hold the balance of power- in the commit- tee as in the senate itself. Both sides were seeking formulas for constitutional al administration leaders have de- clared no compromise will be con- sidered. The committee received more protests that the bill would en- danger democratic government, impair the prestige of the courts and constitute \usurpation of power\ by the executive. Witnesses called, today were Professor William M. Cain of-the Notre Dame college of law, Fred eric R. Coudert, of the New York City Bar association, and William Masterson, dean of the University of Missouri Law school. Business Hazards Seen Cain contended that the legis- lation would create uncertainties adverse to business stability. \No man Seeking investment for his capital,\ he said, \is likely to assume the hazard he would be compelled to assume if interpre- tations of the constitutional guar- “mien were to vary with variations 1 public 'opinion. \This country is committed to the theory and fact of judicial su- remacy, and I am opposed to any ill that may or will afford the islightest opportunity to change t.\ Coudert agreed with Cain that, it the country- favors enlarged federal powers, the proper road is by copstitutional amendment. To #o about it indirectly, he said, would undermine independence of the courts. Constitution Held Violated Coudert's statement called the proposal for enlargement of the court unless aged justices retire, violative of the spirit of the con- stitution. He advocated protec- tlon of the court \as the ultimate detender of fundamental . rights against the temporary legisla- tion of passing majorities.\ \Should the loyalty of the Amer- Ican people to an independent su- preme court fail, then the road lies ON COURT BILL Leading members of the senate| | | @ open Italian intervention. [ Monkey Shines - Enjoys Stellar Roll In Chase That Stirs Police Sighs A small but quite uneo-op- erative monkey was still at large today despite efforts of the Rockville Centre police department to capture him The creature was first sighted by some alert resident, sit- ting on a back porch in the Hollywood Court section of the village. It was then 2 a. m. The police were notified, an arm of the law dispatched to the scene, and results awaited. The results amounted to a bit of not-so-comprehensible dia- logue, followed by the mon- key losing himself in the nearby trees. Four arms of the law went out, and came back empty. And Lieutenant Harry Curley continued to answer tele- phone calls from surprised residents along De Mott ave~ nue, North Village avenue, and virons. Most of the c mitted that the mon- key wal an orderly one, who just sat on back porches with a minimum of noise. But they thought it might be bet- ter if they could view it from the other side of some iron bars. Each time a batch of new calls came in, Lieutenant Cur- ley would agree and send an- other cop.. At -8 a. m., he ,sighed, and handed the Jjob over to Sergeant Lloyd Slade. Sergeant Slade sighed, too, and handed it over to another cop. The problem of what to do with the monkey when it is caught, is still to be faced. | COURT CONDEMNS STRIP-TEASE \ART\ Three Judges Find \Costumes\ Worn In Burlesque Too Scanty # METROPOLITAN LONG ISLAND, NASSAU COUNTY, N.

Rebels Threaten Bilbao On the Bilbao front, insurgent headquarters said the most ad- vanced units of General Mola's army were only ten miles south- east of Bilbao. Only a stubbornly ridge kept them from marching on toward the Biscayan coast city. An undetermined number of Bilbao residents were killed when, seeking safety in a tunnel from an air raid, they were crushed by a train. About forty insurgent planes joined the attack on the Basque capital. Insurgent aircraft also bombed Portbou, on the Franco-Spanish border, cutting the trunk line rail- way connecting France and Spain.

The six, who were halted south- west of Perpignan, in a automo- bile headed toward the frontier, composed the third group of Americans to be arrested this week on similar charges. They were brought to Perpig- nan by the gendarmes for ques- tioning.
