IT SEEMS THAT the Presidents
Court Plan is losing ground. The SEN
timent in Rockville is Enthusiastically
against packing the Court. We can
see little merit in the proposal-but,
at the same time, something should be
done to modernize such an ancient
and doddering institution as what we
call THE COURT. Law has progress
ed very little. All of these where
ases," "aforesaids" and "ss's" are
surely not a requisite of justice anc
mercy. We are sure the lawyers would
like to omit many of the tedious
phrases met with in preparing lega
documents.

day are potential criminals of tomor-
row. Last year Montgomery County
had 1879 children before the Juvenile
Court. This is reaching rather serious
proportions. And, in most cases, the
parents are the ones who are to
blame.
