Maryland Bar Gets
Plea for Five-Judge
Court Of Appeals
Bond Says StreomIined
Bench Would Be Better
Than Eieht-Mon Setup

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June rs.
"A recommendation that Mary
lands Court of Appeals be stream
lined by reducing its membership
from eight to five judges was placed
before the Maryland State Bar AS
sociation for action today.
Chief Judge Carroll T. Bond of
the appellate court, chairman of
the Commission on the Judiciary
Article of the Maryland Constitu-
ton, which made the recommenda-
ton. explained that the five judges
would devote most of their time to
appellate work only.
No Unequal Decisions.
Addressing the 47th annual con-
vention, Judge Bond said
Five judges would make possible
a long delayed readjustment. con-
venient and fair division of them
between Baltimore City and the
counties, two and three, respectively.
and being an odd number would
prevent equal divisions of opinion
and failures to decide when all the
judges sit.
Speaking of methods of selecting
judges, he continued:
Most of the judges now are added
to the court to fill vacancies caused
by retirement or death of predeces-
sors and those events seldom occur
at the exact times of elections The
commission voted to recommend
that all the judges of the court be
appointed in the first instance and
that they be assured of only one
year of service, then at the time of
the next election, either for national
or State offers, be required to stand
for election If they wish to con-
tinue."

All of Miss Margaret Holz-

the past month, but was brought
home on Tuesday. Still in bed,
the Christmas cheer will be
brought to her room by those
who will welcome her entire
recovery.
The little Christmas house in
Plaza Square has been enjoyed
by many children and not few
grown-ups. While the lighting
is greatly missed the fact that
the powers that be found it
possible to have that much dec
orations brings grateful thanks
to all of our hearts. 1t is a diff
ferent Christmas from any we
have ever known, but there are
families who will be completed
for the holiday whose members
have been divided by long
months and long distances.
For these it will be a very hap
py season. There will be others
whose family circles will still
be broken. For these we wish
the happiest Christmas possible
and hope that the separation
will not be long. When the

week. They are Donald and James

Donald have entered into all activi-
ties with real spirit and seem to

Some of the boys eagerly dress

Sunday morning. Soon they re-
turned with a little wild duck,
whose wing had been broken. I'M

chance to see it, let alone to hold
it. During dinner, however, it SEEM

duck in the enclosed porch and keep

Then it apparently left us. Joe and
Ridge, though, discovered it when
they went out for fireplace wood.
Later in the evening we heard ru-
mors of a funeral next morning,
as our new pet had died.
To see the bay frozen over is an
unusual experience for all of us.

tending the dinner meeting in the

for the legislative session.
Economy Advocated
Mr.. Potter declared that the pub.
lie, especially in view of the con-
ditions resulting from the war, is
entitled to a short session with a
minimum of attaches to save ex-
pense.
Asserting that the minority par
ty will expect the Republican Par
ty, which will have control of both
branches of the Legislature, to live
up to it's campaign promises, Mr..
Potter stressed that publication of
the states election laws should be
one of the major acts of the con-
trolling party.
Speedy Action Urged
eve see no reason for unneces-
sary expenditures" Mr.. Potter said,
adding that "this applies not only
to the Legislature but also to the
operation of all state departments.
We want a legislative session as
short and economical as possible"
"All essential legislation should
be passed as speedily as possible to
allow the members to get back
home to the war effort. Why keep
the public upset by an unnecessary
lily long-drawn-out session, espe-
cially in times such as the pres
ent?" ....
As to the need of increased state
revenues, Mr.. Potter said the min
ority party would go along with
any tax-raising measures if proved
proper and essential.
Commenting on the need of eco
nomy by state departments, the
state chairman mentioned that
among other things, the state could
save hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by carrying its own insurance.
He also emphasized the importance
of enacting the measure to enable
absentee service men to vote. The
measure, passed at the 1941 ses-
sion, requires passage by two sue
cessive sessions as it provides for
a constitutional amendment.
