U. S. Districts Under Bill.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The
Senate today passed the Robinson
bill giving Indiana a new Federal
judicial district. The bill now goes
to the House.
The bill provides separate judges
and other court officials for the
northern and southern halves of the
State, the dividing line being the
north boundaries of these counties:
Vermillion, Fountain, Montgomery,
Clinton, Howard, Madison, Del
aware and Randolph.
Judge Robert G. Baltzell would
continue to preside in the southern
division at Indianapolis and Judge
Thomas Slick in the northern at
South Bend.
For two years the State has both
Slick and Baltzell with concurrent
jurisdiction, but they have worked
under an agreement giving Slick
the northern and Baltzell the
southern half.
One grand jury, meeting in In
dianapolis, has handled all cases.
There would be separate grand
juries for each judge under the
Robinson bill.
