The coat boasts two little Shout

trimmed with ribbon bows to

Texas LAWYERS from whom Gov.
Dan Moody will select six associate
justices of the supreme court TO
complete the new nine MEMBER
court. when the constitutional
amendment authorizing it is declar-
ed in effect August "a, is believed
to have been narrowed down TO a
dozen men. Some of these are
known now with a reasonable oe-
gree of definiteneSs.
Judges Richard Critz Of George
town and Charles A. Leddy OF Dali
las, two members of the present ad-
junct commission of appeals which
will be abolished, are said to be
fairly certain of appointment to the
court. They were appointed by
Gov. Moody to the commission.
From Austin three juriSts have
been mentioned, with impressive
background" for the naming Of
each to the supreme court. At
least one out of these three, it ap-
pears, will go on the bench. They
are District Judge George Calhoun,
who has an outstanding record as
a trial judge in all the big civil
matters in which the state Is a
party, and for whom a statewide
bar endorsement was started by the
late Joseph Weldon Bailey; former
Atty. Gen. w. A. Keeling, state
chairman Of the bar organization
that supported the nine-member
court amendment; Presiding Jus
tice James w. McClendon of third
civil appeals court, widely-known
appellate judge.
An active campaign has been
started in behalf of Judge Ed r.
Smith of San Antonio, with bar en-
dorsements for him from several
cities.
Leon Sanfield Of Beaumont, for
mel member Of the supreme court
commission of appeals, is being
actively supported. The name Of
Sam Streetman of Houston is be-
ing mentioned frequently.
Reports have said that former
Chief Justice Nielsen Phillips Of the
supreme court, now chief counsel
Tor the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, might accept
appointment as an associate JUS
tlce; but there is no indication an
effort is being made to secure his
appointment to the court from
which he resigned.
One member is expected to come
OUT OF west Texas, and numerous
names have been mentioned in that
connection. Among these, though
lacking in confirmation that anv
