NATION WEIGHS COURT
CHANGE
The proposal of President Roose
velt, that he be given power to ap
point new Federal judges equal to
all now on the Federal bench of 70
years or more, overshadows all oth
er questions of the moment in na
tional importance Enemies of New
Deal legislation point out that such
action would increase the United
States Supreme Court from nine
to fifteen, directly affecting six
justices now sitting. The President
stresses the need of younger blood
in the Federal judiciary and the
more expidtious handling of Fed
eral cases. He estimates that near
ly 10 per cent of the judges now
sitting in United States courts are
70 yetars or over and thereby eligi
ble for retirement.

til they are caught; less than 3 per
cent kill themselves.
