New District Court
Building Proposal
Studied by Judges
Present Quarters Called
Wholly inadequate
In Resolution

Construction of q new District
Court building, already recon-
mended by the Washington judi
ciary, was up for study today by a
group of the Nations senior Fed
eral jurists meeting at the Supreme
Court.
The group, known as the Senior
Circuit Judges, was to act on q reso-
luton of the local judicial confer
ence, stating that District Court Is
wholly inadequate, and by reason
of crowded conditions and lack Of
facilities the personnel and court
agencies are seriously handicapped
and efficient administration Of JUS
tice is hindered."
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
of the Court of Appeals, acting as
Washington's senior Federal jurist,
was to present tie resolution. JUS
tees James M. Proctor and Oscar
r. Luhring of District Court COM
prise a special committee to aid in
obtaining the new building. Henry
P. Chandler, director of the admin
istrative office OF the United States
Court, favors the move and has
promised to cooperate.
Detailed plans for the new court
house are not yet available, and it
is problematical whether Congress
would authorize new building be-
fore adjourning or recessing.
1t has been proposed that the new
court be built on the present site
of the General Accounting once,
located on the north side Of
Judiciary Square. The pending public
buildings program calls for erection
