COURT reform
BILL IS SIGNED
BY PRESIDENT
Calls It Limited
Advance" in Field
BY GEORGE e. DURNO

GN.s0 President Roosevelt
announced today he had signed
the bill providing for procedural
reforms in the lower Federal courts
and at the same time branded it
a measure which registers a mod
crate and limited advance into a
field which calls for further and
more complete exploration"
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that
ION the side Of omission, it leaves
entirely untouched any method OF
relieving the burden now imposed
on the Supreme Court"
"NEW BLOOD" IGNORED
He also called attention to the
fact that the measure provides
for no flow of new blood to any
of the Federal benches" and
fails to touch the problem Of
aged and infirm judges who fail
to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity accorded them to retire
or resign on full pay"
Indicating that the issue OF
supreme Court enlargement,
which hamstrung Congress for
over five months, is still a live
issue with him, Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
"All of these detectives are Of
necessity a part Of any COM
plete and rounded plan for the
reform of judicial processes"
OTHER REFORMS
Other reforms which the PreSi-
dent deems essential, which Con-
gress failed to write into the court
substitute, were:
/. An increase in the person
mel of the lower courts, which
he said was "confessedly neces-
sary."
2. Provision for effective
means Of assigning district
judges to pressure areas.
3. establishment of flexible
machinery with methods Of
administration readily adaptable
to needs as they arise"
4. Proper consideration Of the
crowded condition of the lower
court docketS.
The Presidents statement re-
called his famous message of
February S when he asked Con-
gress for an increase of six
justices on the Supreme Court and
all of the reforms listed above.
