NEW JUDGESHIPS|
 TO BE FILLED
Former Judge Finn's Name Mentioned; COP Want
 One of Appointments
(By Democrat Legislative RepOrter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May l0.-- Three new common pleas court judgeShips will have to be filled by Gov. Robert A. Hurley if the Gen. eral Assembly passes the common pleas court revision bill favored by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie and voted on favorably by the judi ciary committee. The revision bill may come into the legislature for passage next week.
 Among those most prominently mentioned for one of the places is former Judge Edward J. Finn of Waterbury, who was succeeded on the common pleas court bench in the Waterbury district two years ago by Judge John F. McDonough. A principal objection to his appoint ment, however, comes from the fact that the Waterbury -Naugatuck area now has two common pleas judges in Judge McDonough, a Democrat, and Judge Miles McNiff, Republican, whose renomination by Gov. Hurley was recently confirmed.
 Another Waterburian whose name has been under discussion, though there is no guarantee. that he would accept if the post were offered, Is Probate Judge Patrick Healey.
 Republicans are said to seek as- surance that at least one of the three new judgeSlfips will 20 to their party before passing the bill.
 The revision bill would end the unlimited jurisdiction of the Wa terbury common pleas court. It would give uniform Jurisdiction to all common pleas court, and place all judges on circuit, rotating from one court to another. The courts would handle all appeals from rul- ings by municipal boards and com missions, and would otherwise take considerable work away from the superior court.

Senator Bingham, Democrat, is the son of former U. s. Senator Hiram Bingham, . Republican. During the session he has eSpoused such legislation as 6 state income tax, exemption from taxation of homes assessed ct less than $2,000, increased taxes on public utility corporations and repeal of the old age assistance tax. Bills along these lines have all failed to meet the approval of Senator Blansfleld's committee.
 T am glad to say", said Senator Bingham, that both parties at this session have shown real interest in social problems. Much progress has been made. But the finance cosn- mittee, I am sorry to say, has Jagged far behind in the field of social leg islation. It has had the opportunity but has done nothing to ease the tax burden on the small home own- er, the poor man and the farmer. It is most unfortunate that the committee has not kept pace with progress"
 Senator Bingham said he ob- jected to the unfavorable reports by #the committee on his tax bills, and declared that they had not been given sufficient study and consid- eration. This year would have been an excellent time to end the state tax on towns, he stated, and at least somethlng toward relieving the real estate tax burden. Likewise, he went on, the committee could well have favored heavier taxes for elec- trio light, gas and private water companies.
 T regret that my learned brother has taken advantage of his right to speak by attacking the finance conl- mittee In general instead of limit Ing himself to the bills whose re- lection we recommend today" said Senator Blansfield in answer. T can tell the senator that the mem. bers of the committee have worked bong and hard, that they have given careful consideration to every bill before them"
 Senator Blansfleld claimed that there was grave question of the legality of some of the tax bills of- fered by Senator Bingham, and questioned the wisdom of adopting others of them.
 Senator Blansfield was supported by Senator Clarence Baldwin Of Woodbridge, ranking Republican on the finance committee,
 The committees unfavorable re- ports on tho several Bingham bills actually up for consideration were accepted and the bills were rejected, with Senator Bingham voting neith- 9ni. nor ARainAt.
