FAVORABLE REPORT
SEEN TO GIVE D. c.
ADDITIONAL JUDGES
Subcommittee Expected to
Make Recommendation to
Judiciary Group Monday.
MITCHELL'S TESTIMONY
FAVORABLY RECEIVED
Declares Justices Have Many Mat
ters to Dispose of After
Court Hours.

When the Senate judiciary committee
holds its weekly meeting Monday 1t
probably will receive a favorable report
from the subcommittee, which held
hearings yesterday on the Capper bills
to place two more justices on the Dis
trict Supreme Court and two additional
judges on the District Court Of Appeals
to relieve congestion.
Members Of the subcommittee indi-
Gated they were favorably disposed to-
ward the measures after Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell had testified as to the clog
ged condition of the courts here. Earlier
in the day members of the bar and
court clerks told of the unusual volume
of litigation arising here because it is
the National Capital, and pointed out
that prior to the appointment of one ad-
ditional judge last year, the number Of
judges had not been increased in so
years.
Mr.. Mitchell told the subcommittee
he made a personal study Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court a short time ago
and came to the conclusion two more
judges were needed. He said he found
the present judges do not stop work
when court adjourns, but have many
matters to dispose of in their offices.
The Attorney General said there Is need
for improving the method Of handling
the court calendars. He suggested, for
instance, that some arrangement be
made to avoid having judges inter-
rupted in the trial Of cases to act on
motions.
Recently Judge Wheat was nomi-
mated for chief justice of the District
Supreme Court and the Attorney Gen.
eral said the appointment of another
associate justice is awaiting the action
of the Senate on the Wheat nomina-
ton. It is expected the judiciary COM
mittee also will report out the Wheat
nomination Monday.
The judgeship bills are in charge Of
Senators Steiwer, Republican, oregon,
chairman; Waterman, Republican, of
Colorado. and Stephens, Democrat, of
Mississippi.
