FIRST WOMAN
JUDGE OKEHED

AUSTIN, Feb. II. P-Mrs- Sarah
T. Hughes of Dallas. 81. small and
dynamic, Tuesday was Texas first
woman district Judge.
She stepped from the role Of state
legislator to judge Of Q Dallas court
late Monday promptly upon senate
confirmation. % to z. Of her appoint
ment.
She took the oath from q notary
in the house chief clerks office, re-
ceived her commission from Cover
nor James ". Alfred personally and
prepared TO return to Dallas
Il am proud to have been the first
governor Of Texas to appoint the
states first woman district judge"
the governor said.
Mrs. Hughes would complete the
term Of Judge w. M. Taylor elevat-
ed recently TO the supreme court
commission Of appeals.
Modest but unyielding in legisla-
tive battles. Mrs. Hughes calmly out
lined to a house committee q series
Of land bills as the senate debated
her appointment. The legislation
spotlighted Mrs. Hughes four years
ago in her first legislative session.
She directed militant opposition
TO bills to relinquish to West Tex
as purchases Of valuable state oil
land all the bonus from mineral de-
velopment.
Mrs. Hughes was instrumental IN
defeating much legislation advanc-
ed by former Governor Miriam "A.
Ferguson in the last legislature. Her
power in debate and floor fights
was feared and respected.
Mrs. Hughes fought without gloves
in debate, but out OF the legislature
she was charmingly feminine. She
Is fond Of swimming and an excel
lent dancer.
House colleagues defended her
when Senator Claud Westerfeld Of
her home district opposed the nom
nation. Women from all parts " the
state petitioned senator's in her be-
half.
Opposition to confirmation, pitch
ed to a large extent on the theory
"a woman's place is in the home"
developed a statewide issue and
caused senators to discard a long
established custom. Never IN the
memory OF veterans, has the SEN
ate OVERRIDE wishes Of a member on
an appointment to a local office In
his district.
The confirmation fight grew into
an administration issue as Wester-
fields break with Alfred last isA al
the state democratic convention was
recalled.
Mrs. Hughes. a native Of Maryland:
graduated from Goucher college ana
later received her law degree from
George washington University. she
has resided in Dallas about IL years.
Her husband. George Hughes, Is an
attorney there.

what lower cotton estimate and
better buying generally tended to
boost prices. Principal support
came from the trade, shorts, wire
houses and Wall Street.
Selling was coming from the
continent, Liverpool. New Orleans
and the South. With uncertainty
over the size of the crop and the
market waiting for the Govern
ment report. due Thursday. trad
ing tended to be rather slow.
A closed Liverpool market also
was an influence in restricted
trading. The latest report, from
the International Statistical Blu

pounds gross, as compared with
9,637 900 bales last year. While
this is high, even for the higher
reports issued this month, the es-
innate just previous to this and
figure from New Orleans have
