For 10 More U. S. Judges.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The senate
Judiciary committee, considering
means of relieving crowded federal
court dockets through increase in the
number OF judges, virtually agreed
today to sidetrack the house bill pro-
viding twenty-one more judgeships
and substitute the senate plan for
eighteen additional judges to be
named at large instead of by circuits
as proposed i'll the house bill. -
While the subject as a whole was
turned over to subcommittee to
work out. the committee was said 4,
have decided on the policy of provid-
ing .or Judges at large and to have
instructed the subcommittee so TO
frame the legislation. 1t was stated
by committee members that in de-
Gliding against the house plan, which
would assign the judges to particular
circuits, the committee had sought to
meet the emergency and to put
through legislation which would not
preci9itate extended fights on the
floor because some circuit may not
get all the judges its senators OF, rep-
resentatives believe were necessary.
