M'KEOWN HAS PLAN
FOR COURT RELIEF
Suggests President Appoint
"'FIoating Magistrates" in
Congested Districts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative McKeown, Democrat
Oklahoma, has proposed to President
Hoover a plan for relieving court con-
gestion through appointment of num-
Der of floating magistrates" with life
tenure of Office.
The Oklahoma Representative said
Yesterday he and Representative La
Guardia, Republican, New York, would
lay the plan before the Hoover Law
Enforcement Commission within the
next few days, with the plea that II the
proposal were favorably received, en-
acting legislation be drafted.
Under his plan, McKeoWn explained
the Federal magistrates to be appointed
would constitute an inferior tribunal
handling only criminal cases, and would
be assigned definite cases by the Fed
eral Court judge in each congested dis
trict.
my proposal differs from the Bach
mann plan to appoint 18 additional
judges" McKeown said today, "in that
he would have these judges handle both
civil and criminal cases. 1 propose that
by taking the minor police trials out OF
the District Courts, the regular judges
could clear their docketS Of cases OF
greater Importance.
The e-appointed magistrates would
be floating in nature, sitting in the
nearest convenient court TO the home OF
the defendant. This would not only
make witnesses more readily available
but would decrease the costs of carrying
through the ends of justice"
McKeoWn proposed that these moving
minor tribunals have the right to call
juries and dispose finally of any crimi-
nal case assigned to them by the Fed
eral judge.
