day on the right flank of a
15-mile-wide brideghead es

JUDGES—Companion bills pend
ing in Senate and House designed
to eliminate necessity of appoint
ing special Judges by effectuating
the constitutional provision for elec
tion • of more than one Superior
Court 'judge in a district, are not
given: much change of passage by
close observers. No serious criti
cism has been heard of the merits
of the proposals. But this General
Assembly seems even more "sot in
its ways” than its predecessors
Wheh it comes to making changes
in established district lines. Num
erous legislatures have ignored re
quirements of both federal and
State Constitutions for re-arrang
ing Congressional districts every 10
years. With similar nonchalance
the requirement for de-districting
State senatorial areas has been ig
nored. The amendment adopted
last fall authorizing election of
more than one judge in a district
is the second constitutional at
tempt to eliminate appointive spe
cial judges. The other was when
the voters in 1942 ratified an am
endment separating sohcltorial dis
tricts from judicial districts. Suc
