wane, a survey showed today.

On November ;
Approximately so Cases
Will Be Assigned to

The promised two-jury court sys-
tenn at Police Court, to help dispose
of the hundreds of jury cases await
ing trial. will become a reality on
November 3, it was decided late yes
terday at a meeting of the court S
Board of Judges.
Beginning on that date Judge
Walter j. Casey will sit in the reg
ular jury court branch and Judge
Hobart Newman will conduct a spe-
cial or additional jury branch.
Under the new set-up approx
mately so jury cases will be assigned
to the two courts each day, it was
said today by Walter F. Bramhall.
clerk of the court About 900 jury
cases are pending.
In the special jury branch con-
Quoted by Judge Newman he will
seek TO weed out many jury cases
in which trial is found not to be
desired. This is expected to re-
suit in disposal of many cases
through guilty pleas. Still others
will be nolle pressed, it was pointed
out.
Cases Will Be Grouped.
To expedite proceedings in his
branch Of the court, Judge New
man will have the cases assigned
to him grouped, so far as possible,
under defense attorneys handling
them. Thus. if one attorney has 10
cases, all of them would be put
before the court in a group. Judge
Newman, 1t was learned, feels this
system will constitute an additional
time-saving device. q
Plans to put into effect a two

more than month ago by Judge
John P. Mcmahon, presiding judge
OF the court. Judge Mcmahon re-
turned from his vacation on Mon

it was learned. Judge Newman
pointed out that it would relieve
many traffic officers from sitting
in court waiting for their cases to
come to trial. thus enabling them
to continue other police duties.
Judge Newman has had the plan
under consideration for some days.
The proposed system has been
brought to the attention of Com

and may be considered further by
the Commissioners in the near fu-

Defense Effort
Adds 466,995
To u. ). Rolls
,444 ,985 Civilians
Employed as of August,
186,o31 in Capital

Nearly half a million civilian
workers have been added to the
Government rolls since the defense
program got under way.
The August report for the eXecu-
tive agencies, made public today by
the Civil Service Commission, showed
total employment, of l,444,905 per-
sons. On May 81, 1910, the date
customarily used as marking the
start of intensified defense actlvl-
ties, the figure was 977990, for net
growth of 466995.
In the District, approximately
$4,000 persons have been added,
August employment totaling l8693l
"a gain Of nearly 1900 over July.
Field employment in August was
1,258,654, a gain of approximately
81 500 over July. The increase for
the month was nearly an eighth of
the total that has taken place
since the end of May a year ago.
Expansion General.
The largest increases have been
shown in War-233 .OOO-and Navy
42,OOO-but a comparison of the
reports for the two periods dis
closes that almost every agency
in the Government has expanded
its force.
Principal employment totals now
are as follows: War, 358,788; Post
Office, 318,783; Navy, 253,421; Agri-
culture, 90,727; Treasury, 65,417; In

Security. 31,369; Tennessee Valley,
27,O55; Commerce, 23,O51 Justice,
22,154, and Federal Loan, 18,473
In the District, War and Navy
have slightly more than $4,000 en-
ployes, about equally divided be-
tween the two establishments. The
Treasury is next with 21,752 and
then comes Federal Works with 13.-
374. The Office for Emergency Man
agement. which combines several Of
the strictly defense activities, has a
staff of 4571, and the executive staff
of the President numbers 69l per-
sons.
New High in Pay Rolls.
More than 80 per cent Of the Au-
gust increase in the country as a
whole took place in the War and
Navy Departments. Locally War.
Treasury, Agriculture, o. z. NJ. and
/ Justice showed the heaviest growth.
The August pay roll reached an
other new high. Here an increase
Of more than s3,2OOOOO over July
brought the total disbursement to
S31, ,740,l04. In the field, the ad-
vance was approximately s8.6OO0O0
to S186. OBJ $50. The commission eX-
/ planned, however, that this is aC-
