Whether as a resuit of- the present controversy Congress continues ta be se.fý-assert-" ive and rebellions, remains ta be Diaike Court Plan. From the beginning Congre.ss as a whole had noô liking for the. Court plan. It did not like. the fact that the proposai came as a surprise, even ta the Administration: leaders, them- selves. Nothing was s'aid. about, it during the Camffpaign and the- Pres - "4ent's înogt ardent suippor'ters in~ Congress were not consulted before the plan was submnitted. ]It did not like the fact that it was handed the bill itself ta be introduced and passed.
