Washington. Jan. IS Cl'-Spe"dms np federal court procedure , by abandoning the grand npy system. except where noccssit" rcquircs, IS suggested hv Chairm Norris Of the senate Judiciary committee.
 Senator Norris offers this propoai- ion as a conntcr proposal to the recommendation of President HooN- CTS law enforcement commission for trials by United States commis- Sioncrs of petty offender, which he is inclined o regard as Unconstitu- tional.
 The voluminous recommendations Of the law enforcement commission arc before Senator Norris commit tee and will come up there for carly consideration
 Chairman Norris is ready 10 sup port the recommendation for trans fer Of tho prohibition enforcement service from the treasury 10 th" jus tcc departmcnt-a proposal that has long been before conGrce.
 However there arc some troubles ahead in the senate, for the many other suggestions for strengthening the dry law. and out Of it all there is little certainty that other than the transfer measure will get through at this session.
 The Norris proposal for abandon ment of the grand jury system would require a constitutional amendment He feels however. that it offers so- lution for the crowded court doCllcts. He would not abolish the grand jury system but he would permit prose- cution of offenders upon information by the district attorneys. leaving lt within the discretion of the judge 10 order grand jury hearings for in- djctments.
 Nebraska Likes Law
 We have such a law in N"- braska," Senator Norris explained. As judge there l found it very satisfactory, Not once did I have to order a grand jury to meet in order to make sure that the prose outing attorney did his work thor oughly."
 The law enforcement commission would have congress define certain law violations as coming within petty ottenscs. this permitting trial by United States commissioners Norris believes, however, the diff culties in the way of making such 4 definition are manifold. morco'Nr, hc does not want any step taken which will menace the constitutional right of all men to trial bv jury.
