morning on minority and majority re-
ports ef tn commit.ee on Judiciary.
he dis'sior CT .se committee occurred
over that part OF the biz which pro-
yides that such commissioners shall
merely be citizens OF the United States.
The majority report recommended that
the commissioner should be IAN attor-
ney at law" the minority report rec
ornending that he should have -'sonie
knowledge of the law. The minority
report also urged that the commission
ers should only be appointed in coun-
ties where there IS no resident judge.

which resulted in a minority amend
merlt providing that only counties hav-
ing no resident judge should be supplied

suited in a minority amendment pro-

with amendments.
