Houser introduced the bill providing
i'for three additional Superior Judges
for Los Angeles County, and, retaining
/ the floor said:
1 ask, Mr.. Speaker, that as the ap-
pointing of these Judges is matter OF
, urgency, and as the Los Angeles joint
/ delegation has caucused and agreed or
its passage, it be placed at once on the
second reading file that it may be
passed as early as possible"
Il would ask said Anthony of Car
