 Hartford, Conn, June 5 - (U.Po Governor Baldwin proposed today the passage of constitutional amendment which would call for appointment of judges of the minor courts by the General Assembly, up- on nomination of the Governor.
 He suggested an entirely new method whereby one third of the judges would be appointed for two years, another third for four years and the final third for six years, and re-appointments or new terms would be for six-year periods.
 The recommendation, made in a letter to Rep, George c. Con- way, R., Guilford, House Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments, provided for the sane method of appointing minor court judges as we now follow for the judges of our higher courts"
 T strongly urge that you report in to the session." said the gover- nor, the plan whereby, if adopted the General Assembly could pro- vide by law for appointment of only part of the judges at each session" 7"
 With the staggered terms, said Gov. Baldwin, mo one governor in no one session of the General As sembly could be concerned with the selection of the judges in 69 courts. The task would therefore be an easier one for both the General Assembly and the governor and longer terms would further remove the selection of these judges from partisal political consideration.
 The governors suggestion came on the next to the last day of the current session, and at time when political leaders of both parties were endeavoring to pick com- promise slate of judges for the mi nor courts.

TRIBUTE TO A
YOUNG GIANT
christian Science Monitor)

tChristian Science Monitor)
So rapidly do changes occur that the
transition taking place on the rails Is but
dimly discerned by most persons. Yet
within the period of American entry into
the war to the present, steam motive
power has been, if not superseded, at least
severely challenged by the entry of the
powerful diesel freight locomotives. In
defatigable in their efforts available viz
tually "a hours a day, capable of steady
running, without pauses for water or
fuel. free of the need of having their
fires drawn as does the steam engine,
these 6,000-horsepower giants, in four
connected units, have contributed more
to victory than any but the railroad oper-
ating officer realizes.
Few major railroads today are without
one or a large fleet of these diesels. They
cross the continent westward from Chi
cago, drawing long freight trains on
speedy schedules. Their gay colors belle
their utilitarian tasks. Their engine-crew
their utilitarian tasks. Their engine
crews sit in comfort in swivel chairs,
often in white overalls, guiding, with but
three valves, the speed, brakes, and pow
er of these leviathans of the rails.
Steam locomotives are not outmoded
but who can say what delays the war
freights might have encountered had rot
the diesel been present to work day after
day, with only the briefest Withdrawals
for re-fueling and tuning up?

SHERMAN'S STRATEGY
OF WAR MODERNIzED

In the far reaches of the Pacific, some
points thousands of miles from the pres
ent Tokyo front, today is seen the STRAIT
egy of warfare that was General Sher-
mans in his share in the war between the
states-the strategy Of attritiOn.
And now the JapS are feeling the eff
fects, 100000 of the Emperor's armed
men They have been left high and dry
on many of the small islands, without
even chance to fight and now with sup
ply lines eliminated to face submission
through sheer want. Sherman was not
afraid of an army that had no food nor
could get any.
Strategists see in the we'll carried out
battle moves in the Pacific a plan cal
culated to shorten the fighting days To
have conquered all these isle bases one
by one would have been an endless task.
They could not be subdued and at the
same time these channels between them
and the homeland closed to supply boats.
The Japs on these islands were, and still
are well-armed. no doubt. But their arma-
ment is of no use under the sweeping by
pass maneuvers mapped in the Pacific
by Macarthur and the fleets.
This phase of the Pacific war presents
one of the most interesting to date out
side of the battles themselves. Of course
some definite plan must be carried out
eor the disposition of these 100000 enc
nv when the day of surrender comes. But
that is for the future The point is that
more than half million trained and vic
ious fighters have been rendered useless
to Japan through this remarkable piece
of strategy.

State Officials
Study Ruling
On Postwar Fund

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 81. (UP)-
State officials will take no imme-
diate action to distribute postwar
planning money to cities and coun-
ties from a Sl0,000,000 state fund
approved last week by the state su-
preme court.
Finance Director James S. Dean
said the attorney generals office
is studying the court decision to de-
termine whether it should ask for a
rehearing. In any event, he said,
the decision does not become final
for 80 days.
If no rehearing is asked and after
the decision is final, Dean said
meeting of a public works review
board will be called to draft regula-
items fer distribution of the money.
Under the appropriation act the
state matches city or county spend
ing Tor plans and or sites for public
works.
A total Of 295 local agencies have
given notice they intend to apply
for money from the fund, Dean
said. Los Angeles county has drawn
up a list of projects to be con-
structed at a total cost of about
1929 600 900 and San Francisco has
a 6,0O000G list, he said.
Cities and counties are entitled to
minimum amounts frcm the fund
in ratio to their population. Under
the ratio, the city of Vernon in Los
Angeles county is eligible for $4.88,
while the county of Alpine, with no
Incorporated cities, is eligible for a
flat minimum of $1,000, Dean said.

MEDICAL CENTERS
New York Times)

Years ago the Committee on the Costs
of Medical Care advised the establish
ment of medical centers as part of far
reaching program. The soundness of that
advice is becoming increasingly evident.
We hear more and more of medical CEN
ters-institutiOnS in which clinicianS,
cOnsultants and laboratories are clustered
under one roof, with every diagnostic and
therapeutic aid required in the practice
of medicine and surgery. Now Surgeon
General Thomas Parran of the United
States Public Health Service advocates
such centers in his annual report and
presents us with concrete plan. If DR..
Parran has his way, there will be medi
cal center, with full health service, in
every unit of $4,000 population, and by
''full'' he means everything-even dental
care, the correction of malnutrition, the
treatment Of the chronic diseases of old
age, and nursing.
There can be no question that if we ever
embark on a program of compulsory
medical insurance such centers will be
indispensable. not only to maintain the
nation in good health, but also to keep
taxes within reason. But who is to prac-
tice medicine in these centers? The op-
position to salaried Federal or State
physicians is so formidable that legislat-
ors are willing to abide by the principle
of free choice of physician, which means
that the medical centers would be open
to any physician who has license and
who is member in good standing of a
county medical society.
Blanket approval of license, however,
is no guarantee of good medical care.
Competence should be determined by suit
able standards. Unless there are such
standards, medical centers, though they
will do much good, will not perform their
function with the desired efficiency with
freely chosen physicians. The alternative
to periodic re-examination as test of
competence is compulsory cooperation
with the medical center's staff, so that
we have group practice on the Mayo plan.

Once again the farming state of Neb-

a serious economic problem When that
state took stock a few years ago of the
rush of other common wealths in issuing
bonds and piling up a debt for future
generations, it decided to GO in the oppos-
ite direction and put into effect lone
program of pay-as-you-go.' This hap
pened and it holds today. There may be
arguments against the plan as lacking in
progress and vision, but Nebraskans re-
ply by saying they "take back seat to
nobody" in keeping abreast Of the times.

100 000,0 bushels of corn out of one of
the best crops in years. Manpower, prior

Taft Proposes
New Federal
Education Aid

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. CUP)-
Senator Robert A. Taft (R9 Ohio,
said TUESDAY he is preparing a fed
eral-aid- d-to-education bill to guar
antee a basic, minimum educa-
ton" to children in states which
cannot afford it.
Taft said in an interview that
he would offer the measure as 4
substitute to the education bill now
pencing before the senate eouca-
ton and labor committee.
The Taft proposal would set a
definite figure-pcssibly 500 a year
per child-as the national standard.
All states would then be required
to spend a certain percentage OF
their own incomes for education. II
that amount should not be enough
to meet the national standard, the
federal government would make up
the balance.
Taft said his plan would equal
ize the situation and give assistance
to the poor states which need it
while withhold ing II from the rlcIl
ones who Go not"
The pending bill would grant
SlC0, 0,CGO,000 annually to the states
for education, and an additional
s2OO,OO0,0 900 as a wartime salary
boost for all teachers-an estimated
increase of 5000 per year for the
estimated 100000 teachers.
Taft's criticism of the measure
was supported by Senator joseph H
Ball (R) Minnesota, another educa-
ton and labor committee member.
Ball said that the present bill
isn't an equalizing measure-if il
were, I'd vote for it," AS it is, he
said, II can't support it.

Texan Wants Fund
To Carry Out
GIayuIe Program

WASHINGTON, REQ. 81. (UP)-A
h house agriculture subcommittee
has called for the adoption of bill
to encourage guayule production in
the southwest. 1t said this could in
sure the United States an adequate
supply of natural rubber in event of
another war.
The bill will be introduced today
by Representative w. r. Poage
CD, Texas. 1t authorizes the secre-
tary CT agriculture to spend SILL
100000 to guarantee growers and
professors of the guayule rubber
shrub q fair price fer their product
The money would be expended over
a five-year period.
The government maintains an ex-
perimental guayule plantation in
California. In the previous session
of congress, the house aprropria-
tions committee recommended that
the entire project be abandoned.
The house rejected this proposal,
although it did forbid the govern
ment to extend the acreage of its
plantation.
A spokesman for the agriculture
subcommittee explained that the
Poage bill is designed to interest
private enterprise in guayule farm
ing. He said that, under present
conditions, an extension of the gov
ernment program would be imprac-
teal at the present time. 1nasmuch
IS guayule is five-year crop, ht
pointec. out. the program advocated
by poage would be ESSENTIALLY post

Poage was chairman of the sub
committee which last year investi'
gated possible sources OF this coun'
trys rubber supply. In a report tt
] the house last month, Tie subcom'
mittee held that extensive develop
