JAM IS FEARED
IN FEDERAL
COURTS

Criminal cases threaten to jam
dockets of Federal district courts,
the annual judicial conference,
headed by Chief Justice Hughes,
reported today.
The conference includes senior
circuit judges of the ten Federal
circuits.
Expansion of the Federal Gov
ernment into fields previously oc-
cupied by the States alone, to-
gether with rise in prosecutions
for violation of the revenue laws
are said to be responsible for the
increase of Federal Court criml-
nal business.
Many Liquor Cases
The report says:
"The Attorney General states
that, contrary to expectation,
the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment has not resulted in
lifting appreciably any burden
resting on the Federal courts.
"In the place of prohibition
cases. the dOcketS contain a
large number of cases involving
violations of the liquor revenue
laws. The Attorney General OBJ
serves that the population of
Federal penal and correctional
institutions is growing.
"He also notes that while the
number of prohibition cases
was very large, the percentage
disposed of without trial was
greater than in other classes of
criminal cases because of the
large number of dismisSals and
pleas of guilty"
The conference found, however,
that Federal district courts are
making progress in speeding dis
position of criminal cases. Forty.
six Federal judges reported that
cases are being tried promptly.
New Judges Proposed
Creation of additional Federal
judgeships was recommended as
follows:
Two, southern New York; one
each, northern Georgia, West Vir-
ginia, western Missouri, Louisiana,
Kansas and Oklahoma. with an
additional judge available for duty
in either the eastern or western
Missouri districts.
