Raise in Circuit
Bench Salaries
ar Also Proposed
BY MILTON NJ. MURRAY

The S12,500-a-year Recorders
Court judges and the $14,000-a-
year Wayne Circuit judges are in
favor of pensioning judges, a
survey revealed today.
The survey was not complete.
A number of the judges are en-
joying post-election vacations and
could not be reached for comment.
A proposal to pension circuit
and recorders judges is now pend
ing in the Legislature. 1t was in
troduced at the request of the
State Association of ircuit
Judges. A parallel bill proposes
raising base salaries of all 6S
state circuit judges from $4,000 TO
81, 500 a year. In some counties.
including Wayne, the base pay
from the state is supplemented by
a county payment

cult judges, Harry b. keldan ana
Vincent NJ. Brennan. stood on
their program of letting the
judges meeting issue the state
ment.
Question two:
TT Is proposed to raise the
salary of Detroit judges. DO you
think they deserve a pay raise?"
Recorders Judge Joseph A. Gil
lis and Circuit Judge George b.
Murphy said no. Others hedged
that they haven't studied it,"
some suggested that was solely for
the upstate judges and Judge
Christopher E. Stein cited the law:
Salaries Of public officers
except circuit judges shall not
be increased nor shall the salary
OF any public officer be de-
creased after election or ap-
pOintment."
COULD CUT COUNTY PAY
1t was pointed out that the
Wayne supervisors could prevent
a raise TO the circuit judges by
reducing the county's contribution
to their $4,000 by any amount Of
increase in the states contribu-
ton.
Question three:
did you have anything 10 do
with drawing the bin"
All said no.
Question four:
Have you asked any legls-
lator to vote for it,"
All said no.
Question five:
"Wiil you ask any one TO vote
for 1t:
YES AND NO
Some would and some wouldn't.
Examples:
Judge ellis:
"On the pensioning of judges.
yes, IL l have the opportunity"
Judge Donald VanZile:
II can't say until 1 see the
bill"
Judge John J. Maher: Il.
NO"
Judge Skillman:
II would have no objection 10
explaining the merits of the pen
sion plan To any legislator whom
l might know and endeavor 20
convince him by reason and logic
that he should cast his vote for
the pensioning Of judges"
Question six:
NO other elective office hold
ers are pensioned. Why do you
think judges should be ."
On this one the Judges cited
federal judges appointed for life)
or argued the sacrifices a Judge
makes in serving the public. None
made any direct comparison as "a
why he should be pensioned and
county clerk or coroner
should not.

NEEDS A BIT OF STUDY

On the pay boost the Detroit
judges were noncommittal with
few exceptions. Most of them
agree that pay of outstate circuit
judges now at the minimum of
$4,000 should be raised. AS 10 their
own? Well, that needs a little
more study.
In commenting on the pension
proposal, circuit judges rebclled
mildly against Presiding Judge
Ira w. Jayne, who sought 10 refer
the pension plan To judges
meeting TO be held Monday at the
Detroit Athletic Club
Judge Joseph II. Collins of
Corunna. president of the judges
association, and Judge James +.
Spier of Mt. Clemens. who drafted
the bills. were more frank about
the pay raise.

1t just wasn't Joe Vance's night

Toronto for its fourth straight vic

Vance not only was charged with
the defeat after he went to the
mound to relieve Walter Lanfran-
eoni in the sixth inning as the
Royals began to get out of hand, but
he suffered the added misfortune of
being the victim of triple steal.
1t was that big sixth inning which
permitted the Royals to cling to the
heels of the fast-traveling Newark
Bears. The Leafs had worked their
way to a 7-to-4 lead going into that
frame, but the Royals put on a
rousing rally to push six runs over
the plate to win the game, 10 to Z.
Paul Campbell got five singles in
six trips to lead the Montreal 15-hit
attack. Al Sherer received credit for
the victory.
Frank Kelleher was the whole
show as Newark won from the Balti-
more Orioles in the rubber game of
their series. His three hits, includ-
ing his 32d home run, drove in all
the Bear runs and enabled Allen

Fishermen who are just as much
gadgeteerS as some camera tiends
will find a new tackle item on the
market very much to their liking
1t will take the place of several
home made bits of tackle designed
to keep snelled hooks, used in bot
tom fishing, from tangling around
the line and sinker and generally
making = mess of things.
This is q little button which at
taches to the line at the proper
distance above the sinker. The loop
in the hook gut then is attached to
the button and stands straight out
just the right height above the
sinker and, of course, above the
bottom. to entice bottom feeders.
Anglers in the past have come up
with interesting gadgetS of their
own invention to do this job, such
as complicated series of knots or
bits of piano wire bent in various
shapes to keep the smell and hook
away from the line.
Just to keep the records straight,
the 532-pound broadbill swordfish
caught last week off Louisburg,
Nova Scotia, on 24-thread by Mrs.
Marion Hasler was not a world rec
ord for woman anglers. Mrs. Kip
Harrington, jr., broke her own world
record for both men and women on
24-thread of $50 pounds on June Is
at Tocopilla, Chile, with broadbill
weighing 657 pounds. She used
16-ounce tip.
Also at Louisburg, Mike Lerner
has boated another pair of sword
f1sh-both in one day, the fourth
time he has turned the trick In
all angling history this feat has been
accomplished only seven times.
Capt. Bill Goldsborough at Tall
Timbers is skipper hard to top
when it comes to striper fishing, but
a school of porpoises stopped him
last week. They took Bills fishing
from him for three straight days.
But he's picking up the stripers
again, weighing from 2 to 6 pounds,
and he says the going will improve
1t usually does when he says so.
The new Federal waterfowl regu-
lations are due to be announced
any day now. 1t is extremely doubt

Follow the signs from the turmoil
just beyond the tavern on the Lees
burg Pike.
The "Middles" always has been
productive of few cobia every
year but this summer they are
thicker than f1eas on a dog. Their
indifference to bait unless hidden
in chum line has been the cause
of many an angler muttering in
his beard. Bob HoWdershell was
one of them but one day of watch
ing them laZily circle the boat hour
after hour was only an incentive to
return and try again.
His second try, just this week, was
made after he had first caught a
basket of fish to be used for chum.
Capt. Rob Drury anchored the boat
under the northwest buoy, and the
chum-slick was spreading nicely
when the first strike came. 1t was
73-pounder, landed in 25 minutes.
She hardly was in the boat when
Mrs. HoWdershell snagged another
a tough one, with several others fol-
lowing it in the fashion of soldiers,
turning and wheeling, as the hooked
fish fought to get free, trait from
which they gained the name of sar-
geant fish. She landed her antag-
onist. a 38-pounder, but today she
knows how tough these babies can
be for she is nursing bruises and
sore muscles-against an early re-
turn.
Rob Drury at Ridge thinks he can
put one on these fish most any day
He certainly has taken at least two
fine fish so far. One, weighing 7e
pounds, was probably the largest
ever caught on these grounds. Our
recommendation is to get a couple
of boxes of menhaden at Galesyille
before going down. 1t makes bet
ter chum and better bait.
