THE PLOT THAT FAILED Something went wrong Inside the Senate Judiciary Committee when it repudiated the President's court packing bill. At the very moment the committee was rejecting the White House program, an eminent Congressional leader was assuring his associates definitely that the committee would not do It. When the bad news was brought to him, he was so shocked he would not talk to any one the rest of the day. At the White House, surprise was likewise Indicated.

They are not saying anything now, except DELAYED SACRIFICE We went to the last matinee of "The Eternal Road" the other day and were surprised that the show did not start on time. Ten minutes after starting time it still did not start.

We heard a rumor about tha non-appearance of Dickie Van Patten, child actor who lives at' 118-05 85th Kew Gardens, so we went out and stood by the stage door Pretty soon along the street came the 8-year-old, bareheaded and carrying something like an overnight bag. "Hurry up, Dickie," yelled one of the grownup actors, like a spectator cheering at a crew race. Another took him by the hand and a third took care of his bag. "He's a full-fledged star now," declared one ol the other actors. "He can hold up a show." We went inside and in two minutes, by the watch, Dickie was on the stage in thonged sandals, More than 72 percent of 4,422 union workers of the Borden Company, voting yesterday In a referendum, chose the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffers, A.

District Attorney L. Barron Hill today announced that he as prepared to offer his findings, substantiated by 51 witnesses, to the grand Jury and that he and Assistant District Attorney Joseph S.

Jimmy, four, who "returned from tho grave" to accuse his mother, was questioned by District Attorney Hill fror his hospital bed in Community Hospital, Patchogue, yesterday.

Manhattan police, District Attorney's investigators, Sheriff's aides and members o' the Brookhaven police. Following his return from a visit to the murder scene in the Brookhaven "picnic" woods, District Attorney Hill declared that he would ask for a first degree murder Indictment against Mrs. Tiernan for the confessed slaying of her daughter.

He also will seek a felonious assault indictment for her attack on Jimmy. l'vi i 7u In Brooklyn the balloting took place at the 14th Regiment Armory, 1402 8th in Queens the company workers cast their votes at Sangerbund Hall, Jamaica.

The thought came to us that maybe Dickie was worried this being the last show that Abraham might be tempted to sacrifice him.

It also occurred to us that the person whose lateness would really be disturbing would be whoever plays the "Voice of God" which from somewhere in the top of the Manhattan Opera House used to daily shout down the words that savea Dickie's life. I ET THERE BE LIGHT We have another anec-dote about that last New York matinee of "The Eternal Road," which as you know, was about as lavish and expensive a production as could Imagined. When the curtain came down on the last act a man Jumped on the stage and began giving farewell introductions to various actors. The light kept blinking on and off.

The average recent price to farmers, they said, has been 15.2 cents a pound for chicken and 14.3 for turkeys.

The record turkey crop of 20.000.000 birds last year was described as the cause. Traffic Offsets Doubts No. 2 Field Will Harm Bennett North Beach Airport, in Queens, which Is being remodeled Into Municipal Airport No. 2, was pictured by Dock Commissioner John Mac-Kenzle today as an auxiliary rather than a competitor of Floyd Bennett Field, the city's No. 1 airport.

Mr. MacKenzie's prediction, based on the Queens field's location and facilities, was directly opposed to the views of Controller Frank J. Taylor, the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce, the Young Men's Chamber of Commerce and other Brooklyn groups and officials. The protesting Brooklyn groups have held that advancement of the North Beach seaplane base would slow down the progress of Floyd Bennett Field as- an airport. MacKenzie declared North Beach will be needed to provide suitable facilities for transatlantic service facilities, according to the Dock Commissioner, which would not be available a1: Floyd Bennett.

U.S. to Balance Budget in Year Morgenthau Gives Flat Assurance No Change Hinted in Gold Price Coorrliht. 1937. by United Press Washington, May 21 (U.R) President Roosevelt revived his plan to reorganize the executive branch of the Federal Government today and planned to push it toward an early vote in Congress. Three White House conferences returned the program to the Administration list of "ought" legislation.

It had been strategically hidden in a Joint Senate-House committee since Mr. Roosevelt submitted It to Congress Jan. 11. "The reorganization bill Is very much alive," was the official word from Rep. John J.

Cochran, chairman of the House group studying the bill. After a White House discussion, he said: "The committee has completed its secret study of the proposition. We're meeting next week for a full discussion. There may be action." nine) on the Logan com pro-Paul Mallon mise This lg a pr0p0Eai pack the court at the rate of one a year instead of six at once. Such a development would have saved the court packing program from the ignominy of direct defeat.

It would have lifted the issue out of the committee to the Senate floor for open dis- cussion with the least possible pain to all. Everything was fixed for It, or, at least, nearly everything. The skids were greased, all except ene skid. QNOOZING What happened, the Roosevelt domos say, was that one of their pals on the committee was asleep at the switch. He was supposed to vote for the Logan compromise, but got to voting against all compromises so fast he did not know when to stop.

-The question now has arisen as to whether he took or was given a sleeping powder before the meeting. If he had voted for the Logan proposal, the vote would have been exactly nine to nine. As it was, the compromise was defeated, ten to eight, and the committee went on to defeat the President's plan by the same score. What it seems to boil down to is that the domos did a very bad job on the committee, or else some natural and unavoidable misunderstanding arose. At any rate, they were flabbergasted and were unable to do anything about it after it occurred.

DOMESTICATION A Democratic group of anti-packers around the Senate has come to be known familiarly in the corridors as "The Lion Tamers Club." The title grows from an obvious but not generally advertised fact. They make no secret, in conversation, of their displeasure over the general attitude taken by the White House since the last election, on other matters as well as the court. What brought their resentment out more distinctly was the latest edict of the President against compromise. Since then, they have been talking (in private, of course), about what happened to Mr. Wilson on Article when the War President stood against any Senatorial dotting of "I's" and any extra Senatorial crossing of "Ts." Their personal viewpoint seems to be that it is up to them not only to defeat the court program on its merits, but (as one of their number describes it) to "make the President become a President again." That is, they believe the old natural Constitutional checks and balances prevailing in government prior to the depression may be restored, if the President is just once defeated on an issue.

Not all anti-packers feel that way, but enough of them do to create a very strong personal and somewhat bitter situation. MISREPRESENTATION The circulation of foolish rumors and inflammatory personal stories against Mr. Roosevelt is again causing some inner concern here. One especially fantastic idea was circulated in a confidential letter by a news agency implying that the President collapsed in a coma at his desk before he went South for a' rest. There is.

of course, not a grain of truth in the suggestion All Presidents have had to put up with this sort of stuff. The trouble is they cannot deny such rumors without dignifying them, and generally the denial gets wider circulation than the original rumors. CROWDING Andrew Mellon has moved menacingly close to the White House. He has bought a building in Jackson Place, almost across the street from the Executive mansion.

Spurious Clubs State to Wipe Out Phony Political Outfits as Vice, Gambling Dens Albany, May 21 (U.R The Klein-feld bill to wipe out spurious political clubs became law today. The measure, introduced by Senator Philip Kleinfeld, Brooklyn Democrat, prohibits corporations from using the name of a political party without consent of the county chairman. "It is a matter of public knowledge that we have had many spurious political clubs," Governor Lehman said. "These clubs are used for the conduct of gambling and vice.

This bill seeks to regulate the establishment of political clubs. "The provisions of this bill are reasonable and should prove beneficial In eradicating spurious political clubs which seek to hide out behind the protection of corporation organization." He signed more than a score of other bills, including those; Licensing small ice cream manufacturers at $2 each. Requiring towns to care for Illegitimate children and their mothers when In need. Clarifying the law governing filing of fingerprints. Reiuiring full equipment of bicycles including headlamps, horn, brakes and rear reflector.

Providing for reciprocal enforcement of fishing laws in boundary waters. Surcharge Loss The effect of the loss of freight surcharges so far this year on railroad revenues Is Illustrated by the fact that net ton miles in the first quarter were 20 percent above the total for the similar 1936 period, whereas freight revenues increased by only 14.7 percent.

If surcharges had remained in effect, operating revenues (and net Income would have been almost $40,000,000 greater than the amounts reported, according to the Standard Statistics Company of New York. In estimating probable 1937 earnings for individual roads, full consideration should be given to the amount of surcharges income last. Some have reported this figure to stockholders, but many have not. The tabulation below shows the I Washington. May 21 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.

Through the night came the querlous voice of the master of ceremonies: "Here I have $75,000 worth of light in the house and can't get enough to read a telegram from Reinhardt!" Finally an actor brought out a small searchlight, and the telegram was duly read. DWELLING A house which in-trigues us Is a replica of a Chinese mansion at 131 Buckingham Road.

OTORY OF AN ARTIST Harry Newell of 1713 Caton Ave. graduated from a small college called Davidson, down In North Carolina, a few years ago and immediately began to study art. The day after his commencement he left for New York and secured a room In Greenwich Village.

"I drew no end of pictures," he recalls. "Then after six months 1 went out and sold them all right off the bat to some of the best smaller studios in town. Several people became interested in my work, and financed me to the extent that I could go to art school. "That was the beginning of the end of my career.
