SARGENT SEEKS
LAW CHANGES

Important changes in the law per-
tanning to Federal Court contempt
proceedings, especially applicable to
antitrust cases, were recommended
today by Attorney General Sargent
in his report to Congress.
The judicial code should be
amended to provide for punishment
in criminal contempt proceedings,
either in the district in which the
violated decree was entered or in
the district where the act constitut-
ing the contempt was committed,
Sargent said.
Under the present law contempt
may be punished only in the judicial
district where the court decree vio-
lated was entered.
The contempt law is the chief
means Of enforcement of antitrust
DEGREES. AS the law now stands,
long delay and heavy expense are in
volved
Sargent also recommended har-
monizing punishment clauses for
contempt in the judicial code and
Clayton act, the latter providing for
fine and Imprisonment" and the
former fine or Imprisonment" Sar-
gent suggested 'tfine or imprison-
ment or BOTH" for each law.
Another amendment to place upon
defendants, the cost of contempt pro
ceedings, where the, accused was
found guilty. was suggested.
Other recommendations were:
Legislation making escape of pris-
oners from Federal jurisdiction a.
crime; an additional circuit judge
for the Second circuit, consisting of
New York, Connecticut and Yer
mont, and for six additional district
judges; authority to increase salaries
of United States attorneys and as
sistarts, and to authorize the pres
ence of stenographers in grand jury
rooms.
