BAR SUPPORTING
 JUDCESHIP BILL
Holland and Windhanl At- torneys Back Plan for
 Two New Additions

Hartford, March 13.-Leading members of the bar throughout the state today came forward in sup- port of Governor Raymond E. Bald wins measure for two additional superior court judges.
 The bill for the two new judge ships already has been passed by the house, and also was passed by the senate. The senate, however. then, in a last-minute surprise move, voted to reconsider the bill. The ef- feet of this Is that another vote in the senate will have to be taken.
 Particularly in favor of the pro- posal for two additional superior court judges are attorneys in Tol- land and Windham counties. Mem bers of the bar association here in Holland county signed up practical ly 100 per cent in favor of the ad- ditional judgeships about two weeks ago." Attorney Joe H. Reed, 2d, of Stafford Springs, stated.
 We are confronted, here in --ol- land county, with 8 very serious problem that is working hardship on all concerned. There is very lit- tie time for court cases or jury cases, especially during the winter term. The judge has one week, or possibly two. for court cases, or per- haps one week for court cases and one week for jury cases. The time is so limited that attorneys have difficulty in getting witnesses to- gether and in on time, and in many instances cases have to be post poned, with resulting distress to liti- gants seeking prompt adjudication of their disputes and difficulties.
 This, of course, is in no way 8 criticism of the court. The fact is, simply, there are not enough judges to go around. Our judges are doing everything they can do, but we need more judges to handle. adequately, the volume of work there is to do.

John Baker started on the mound
