IS NEW FEDERAL
JUDGES SOUGHT
Judicial Conference Plea
Will Be Given Congress
Next Year,
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Congress will be asked next year to
create 13 additional Federal judge
ships.
The Judicial Conference decided
yesterday that docket conditions made
it advisable to create nine new dis
trict judgeships, add two members to
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals
and one each to the sixth and seventh
circuits. Its recommendations will be
sent to Congress.
Twenty new judgeships were voted
by Congress last session, chiefly on
recommendations of the conference,
which is composed of senior judges of
the circuit courts and representatives
of the Justice Department. Most have
not yet been filled.
The conference proposed that two
new judges be provided for the south
ern district of New York and one each
for the district of New Jersey, eastern
district of Pennsylvania, northern dis
trict OF Georgia, eastern district of
Missouri, southern district of Cali
forn1a, western district of Oklahoma
and the district of Kansas
Last year the conference recon-
mended provision for four new circuit
and IL new district judges. Congress
authorized more judges than it sug-
gested, but it did not follow recon-
mendations in respect to Georgia,
Kansas and Ohio. The conference
did not renew its 1887 suggestion for
an additional judge in the Northern
Ohio district.
Chief Justice Hughes presided over
the conference, held annually at the
Supreme Court. Attorney General
Cummings and Solicitor General Jack
son reported to it on the condition of
Adockets Of Federal courts.
The conference recommended a
complete call of the docket at least
once every six months in each judicial
district, with view to eliminating
dead wood" 1t added that when the
district judge did not make such calls,
he senior circuit judge should as
gn some other judge to the district
to perform that service"

From Nazis in a position to know
this correspondent gains the i'm
preston that Adolf Hitler will prove
. just as insistent and intransigent in
his demand for handing over all that
he claims as belonging to the fifth
zone-not yet defined-as he was for
the principle of annexation and the
unconditional surrender of the first
four zones.
viii Fix P1ebiscite Areas.
The commission also is to determine
the areas in which plebiscites are to
determine whether they are to become
German or remain Czechoslovak.
A map published by the Berlin press
indicated that the territory claimed as
belonging to the fifth zone-for occu-
patton by October 10-or subject to
plebiscite would be approximately
t"lSt do ldI &c dS llldU u dllSlCllCu ull-
conditionally in the four zones. Plebi-
scites are to be held not later than
November 80.
The British, French and Italian
Ambassadors, members of the inter-
national commission, went to the
. foreign office this afternoon to meet
with the chairman, Baron Ernst Won
Weiszaecker, secretary of state in the
German foreign office.
The three Ambassadors, Sir Neville
Henderson, Andre Francois -Poncet
and Bernardo Attolico, walked along
the WllhelmstraSse together to the
foreign office, unrecognized by pedes-
trians.
Delimitation of the fifth zone of
occupation was considered the most
difficult task yet confronting the group
Insistent on Reparations.
Political observers felt sure that
Hitler's demands for reparations also
would be inSistent. If these observers

This source pointed out that it was

as good neighbors to the other.
1t was indicated that Germany would
not consider the Sudeten question
solved unless reparations were paid.
Karlsbad Demands Recalled.
Observers recalled that point six OF
the eight-point program proclaimed by
Konrad Henlein, the Sudeten Fuehrer,
at Karlsbad April "a, called for re
moval of injustices inflicted since 1918
and reparations for the damages there
by caused"
During the four-power conference
at Munich last week German gov
ernment spokesman said, that is a
question for later discussion" when
asked whether reparations for dam
ages allegedly suffered by the Sude-
tens had figured in the conference.

WRIGLEY FIELD. Chicago, Oct
5.-SceneS reminiscent of the golden
era days of baseball were re-enacted
today as wild, joyous mob of fans
stormed the gates of Wrigley Field
to watch the mighty New York
Yankees try to cool of Gabby Hart
nett's hot Chicago Cubs in the opener
Of the 1888 World Series.
Though it was chilly, cloudy and
windy-better football weather than
baseball-the exultant fans, many OF
whom stayed in line all night, filled
the bleachers 20 minutes after the
gates opened at 10 am. e. S. T.),
Az hours before game time.
Within 40 minutes the bleachers
were packed with $500 fans who
seized every available space from the
aisles to the tiled walls. Most of
them came ready for any weather
though it grew slightly warmer by
the hour.
Capacity Crowd Assured.
There wasn't any doubt but that
the park would be jammed to its ca
pacity by game time, insuring an
attendance of 44,466 fans and a gate
of $234,804.90. Ticket windows were
closed for all but those wishing to
risk $3.50 for standing room. Scalp
ers mingled among the crowds milling
about closed ticket windows, asking
and getting as high as $25 for regu-
lation $3.50 grandstand tickets.
Many sleepy-eyed fans, who had
stood in line for two days, surrendered
their posts for $40
Nothing new emanated from the
rival camps of the Cubs and Yankees,
and no one questioned but what big
Red Ruffing would go to the post for
the Yankees, opposed by General Bill
Lee, who promised a Lee would trim
the Yankees.
Lands Pounds on Gate.
kenesaW Mountain Lands, commits
sioner of baseball, was early and bang
ing at the gates before they were
opened.
You'll have to 60 through the press
gate," shouted gate attendant. The
old judge fumed and sputtered and
was just about to stalk off when some
one recognized him and let him in
after apologies. The judge inspected
the playing field and found it in per-
feet playing condition, with two giant
tarpaulins ready for immediate ac-
ton.
Parking spaces, charging from 81
to 81, reaped harvest So were own
ers OF homes overlooking the field
along Waveland and Shefield ave-
nues, who opened their doors to fans
who were willing to pay 81 or more.

The sun played peek-a-boo in the
gray clouds and every time it came out
the bleacherites, perched in a huge
section that looked like the side of q
giant ocean liner, cheered. When movie
and newspaper cameramen went out
to center field for bleacher shots the
crowd stood up, schered and waved
everything from hats to blankets.

 Yale hopped off at 41 stroke to the minute beat and Imperial start ed with 40. The English boat took an early lead but Yale drew even by the quarter-mile. Again Imperial forged in front and had a quarter length at the half-mile pole. Yale was out in front by quarter of a length at three-quarters of mile and rowing smoothly.
 At the mile, the Ellis had 3-4ths of length as Imperial sprinted. But Yale matched the English crews sprint with one of it's on and won going away. Both crews were spent at the finish.

County Gathering Best in Years, Declare Observers;
 Ryan Praises Achievements of New Deal

One of the most enthusiastic political meetings held in this county in number of years was held last evening at the White Eagle Hall, Torrington, when over l50 Democratic leaders of the county gathered there to plan their campaign for the coming elections. Never in the history of Litchlield County have the Democrats showed the fire and fight which now is very evident and which is charac- terized by the actions, both collec- lively and individually of the Democratic leaders and workers.
 From every town in the county come reports of the loyal support which the Democratic state ticket will receive on election day Many of the town chairmen are begin ming to get their respective town committees working with the thought in mind that if each town in the county only increases their Democratic vote by GO the Demo- cratic ticket in Litchlield county will be elected.

 The evening previous MT Ryan addressed Democratic gathering in Windham County at which he referred to President Roosevelt as the greatest president this country has ever had
 He said in part President Roose- velt despite all the adverse publicity which has been directed against him and his administration, is still the greatest president this coun- try has ever had.
 When President Roosevelt took office in 1883 the country was very near an economic collapse Because of this, the government, on the recommendation of the President, undertook a vast program of eco- homie and social relief, which natu- rally, called for the expenditure of great amounts of money.
 Suffering Relieved
 As a direct result of this vast spending the suffering of the poor, the ill fed and ill clothed, was greatly relieved. People who had been out of work were given work on various projects under this new governmental program. Banks and Investment Companies were saved from positive bankruptcy. Farming and industry were revived, and business in every phrase, was set on an upward trend.
 "Thc national income which had fallen to forty billion dollars in 1882 steadily rose ycal by year un- til 1t reached GA billion dollars in 1886 and an estimated 68 billion dollars in l937.
 Thus, with the national income on an upward trend and increasing daily and with all branches of busi- ness operating at q profit, the ad- mlnlStration felt business itself, after the splendid start which the administration had given 1t, would be capable of keeping the wheels of industry turning. Accordingly, some of the projects and cXpendi- lures of the government were curtalled.
 And during the past six months we have seen that business itself was not willing to cooperate with thn DnNel'nnlant kann h,tgi,.gg going There were no helpful sug- gestionS forthcoming from business leaders, thus business started down hill again because big business refused to work with the president | And 1t continued downward, get | ting worse and worse.

 Confronting by the situation Of | the business let down, the fact that | millions were once again out Of | work, the wheels of business almost | at standStlll. the government at | the urgent suggestion of the presi- dent, interVened.

As they neared the finish the Kent coxswain yelled to his crew: Take you time-you'ye got plenty left" Kent was compara- lively fresh when it was over while the English rowers were completely spent.
