McCarran Won't Accept
Seat on Federal Bench

Chairman McCarran of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee has de-
cided to remain in the Senate rather
than accept a place on the Federal
bench, for which he was suggested
by friends.
The Nevada Senator, who has just
been reelected for six years, said:
Those of us who have the in

and who have had years of training
in the national legislative halls, and
who believe in our Constitution and
form of Government, and who are
striving to retain this-a Govern
ment of law by the people-must at
this hour lay aside their personal
ambitions for rest and security and
remain at their posts"
