All Judges
In the November election the I
voters of North Carolina will have i
I the opportunity of adopting three I
constitutional amendments design- j
od to improve the operation of our
courts. The amendments were pro
posed to the General Assembly
by the special Commission for
the Improvement of the Admin- j
istration of Justice They have \
been endorsed by the Commis
sion's successor .the Judicial
Council, and numerous other
groups including the Convention 1
of the Clerks of Superior Court
and the North Carolina Bar As- j
sociation. In this and succeeding
articles, the purpose of each
amendment will be briefly ex
plained
The first proposed amendment
provides a convenient method for!
[ the addition of regular elected!
| superior court judges. It author
izes the General Assembly, when I
; conditions warrant it, to provide
! for the election of an additional
regular judge in any district. This ;
! proposal is necessary because the ,
I Constitution at present says that!
there shall be only a single reg- :
ular judge elected in each judicial
district. But some of our districts ;
have neded more judges for many '
years. Thus far, the problem has
been met by providing for the ap- |
pointment bv the Governor of
special judges. This solution, how
ever, has not proved altogether
satisfactory as a special judge is !
not permitted by law to dispose ;
of many matters which require j
the action of a regular judge. And
1 even if the law were otherwise,
the special judge, moving almost
continuously from district to dis
trict over the entire State, could
j not give the necessary relief to
certain congested areas. This can
come only from additional reg
ular elected judges responsible to
the districts concerned.
The great merit of the proposed
amendment is its simplicity. We
can now secure additional regular
!judges only by redistricting the

Chemical Retards;
Growth Of Plants
And Many Grasses
According to n story appfaring !
in the Wall Street Journal, local
law mower pushers have a faint
hope for relief. The story reads,
in part:
Scientists have developed a new
type of weed killer named maleic
hydrazide that has a variety of
remarkable properties. For one
thing, it. is efficient in killing off
I various grasses that are a pest to
! the farmer. But beyond this it is
j what, is called a growth inhibitor,
(which means that when properly
used it will slow down growth
without killing the plant.
Preliminary tests in New Eng
1 land show that the material
I when sprayed once on a blue
grass lawn killed off intruding
; crabgrass and also retarded the
I growth of the blue grass for six
weeks without hurting it. When
j State and increasing the number
of judicial districts. The whole
I State is thrown into turmoil by
the process. Indeed, it involves so
1 many difficulties that it is seldom
'tried. When more judges are need
I ed, the General Assembly is forc
! ed to add to the number of special
judges.. Under the proposed
•amendment, however, a regular
I judge could be added in the dis
trict where lie is needed and the
j rest of the State would not be
j bothered. That some districts need
'another regular judge is obvious.
In one, there are annually over
| 100 weeks of court In this dis
trict there is clearly more than
enough work for two judges to
do. The amendment provides the
1 relief required.
It should be added that the
amendment does not- necessarily
mean a single additional judge
■ Additional judges will come only
| with action by the Legislature and
the Legislature already has the
authority to create as many judge
ships as it likes. It should also be
remarked that the proposed
amendment will not do away
with the necessity of having spec j
ial judges. There will still be dis- I
tricts having too much work fori
one jyidge but not er*>ugh for two. !
; To meet that situation, the con
tribution of the special judges
; will be as necessary as ever.
The proposed a^ieOdpient is a
logical outcome of the growth of
North Carolina, We now have
heavily populated areas which,
while they cannot be adequately
served by a single judge, cannot
be carved into two judicial dis
tricts Only by allowing the elec
tion of an additional regular judge
in such areas can the problem be
solved. This is the obvious solu
tion and the oniv practical one.
As such, it should commend it
i self to the voters on election day.

tried on a fast growing pvracan
tha hedge in California, growth
was slowed down so that only two
cuttings a year were needed in
stead of two a month.
The scientists caution that ex
tremely precise amounts of the
material must be applied to get
results like this without doing
damage. So they do not think
that makers of lawn mowers and
hedge shears will have to worry
for a long time. Their chief pres
ent interest is to develop im
portant agricultural uses for the
material. Meanwhile at least a
year of careful tests at research
centers will be necessary before
it can be put on the market.
One major use for maleic hy
drazide, it is thought, will be to
clear Southern farms of Johnson
grass anti quick grass, which are
hard to eradicate by cultivation
With a dose of the drug, young
grass is killed and older grass is
stopped from seeding
Another interesting use may be
be spraying of strawberry and
