Barse Asks ; More
Municipal Judges 10
Ease C|ogged Docket

Immediate appointment of three
new judges to Municipal Court as
the only means of meeting the in
creasing volume of court business
since the first of the year is being
sought by Chief Judge George P.
Barse, it was learned yesterday.
Judge Barse made the request for
mally in his quarterly report to the
Commissioners and said he has also
discussed the matter with Attorney
General Clark.
The request comes as members of
the District Bar Association are
fighting Senate confirmation of
Mrs. Nadine Gallagher, 45-year-old
Justice Department attorney, for
the Municipal Court vacancy created
by the recent elevation of Judge
Brice Clagett to the Court of Ap-
peals. Opponents contend Mrs.
Gallagher lacks the broad court
room experience necessary to be on
the bench.
Municipal Court judges are ap-
pointed by the President on recon-
mendation of the Attorney General
and must be confirmed by the Sen
ate. Basic salary for associate
judgeships is $1,000. ~ tss
$1,000 New Cases Listed. 'sa1
| The court was created in 1912 by
act of Congress consolidating the
old Police Court and Municipal
Courts.
According to Judge Barse's re-
port, almost 10000 new civil and
criminal cases were filed in his
court during the first three months
OF 1916, representing slightly more
than IS per cent increase over
the same period in 1945. In only
one of seven classes of cases handled
by the court-traffic cases-was
there a decrease and then OF less
than two per cent.
/ District Court, Judge Barse OBJ
| served, can call in outside judges
from other districts from time to
time to help out in an emergency
but Municipal Court can not.
THE only remedy is additional
judges he told the Commissioners
| Cites Boost in Income.
From January to March 81, Judge
Barse said. the cash income of
Municipal Court from fines, fees
and forfeitures was 1921 ,393.21 as
compared with s235 ,692.82 for the
same period in 1915. This increase,
he said, fully justifies the addi-
tional expense of the proposed new
judgeships which are necessary ito
render adequate service to the
public"
The average number OF judges in
attendance throughout the course
OF a year. he continued, is a frac-
tion more than eight of the 10
judges appointed, due to excusable
absences such as sickness and
vacations.
| Work was kept about current
during the war years because of a
decrease in the number of cases,
his report continued. but at present
because of increasing business, it
has undoubtedly been falling be-
hind" Judge Barse saw no reason
to expect improvement in present
conditions.

AUSTIN-MAHONEY IBLL

New, York, N. Y.-The Austin
Mahoney bill empower 6 the Sta
tie Commission Against Discrim-
nation to order the end Of dis
elimination against minority peo-
pies in educational institutions in
New York State was endorsed by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in
letters to Senator Benjamin Fem
berg, Majority Leader CT the Sen
ate, and Assemblyman Oswald d.
Heck, Chairman Of the Rules Com
mittee of the Assembly.
In the letters of transmittal, Mr..
Walter White, Secretary Of the AS
ISOLATION stated that the princip-
les which led the state legislature
to pass the Ives-Quinn bill assur-
ing employment opportunities to
minority groups also require the
passage of the Austin-Mahoney
bill. 1t is useless to give job op-
~portunities to minority groups if
they are denied education which
will give them tools with which
to perform their jobs. 1t is most
appropriate that this legislation
should follow closely upon the
heels of the Ives-Quinn bill and
that the power should be given
to the same agency as was esta-
blished in that legislation.

of contrast it called attention to

World wide leaders told us that world war No. two.
And you remember the slogan too,
Was for world wide democracy; To free all men from
slavery; and from strife and tyranny
And if they were Victorious
A bright happy road was before us.
And India too, was promised her freedom BY Britain
after the war was won.
And yet nothing has been done.
The same untruthful promises as ever before.
And a darker future lies in store.
For as long as men are held in slavery, lasting --ucc
shall never be:
For freedom is every mans birthright-be he black o
white!
Yet leaders keep groups and nations in slavery still.
knowing it is against Gods Holy will.
The peace Of the woodland the world itself is at stake!
Because leaders won't give all men and nations an equal
break.
They would rather be blown to kingdom come
Than grant equal rights to everyone!
1t is sad to think we stand On the brink of world war
number three,
Just because a few men fail to see
or will not face the fact
That a Uunited States and British military r,ac.,
Will not only turn the world against us,
But will prove DISASTROUS!
(And how about the Anglo-American pact:)
(How will the darker races like that?)
We can't pat Russia on the back;
and then give her a back hand slap!
For Russia might not take that stuff ....
And might call our bluff,
And when the Russian bear begins to growl-
1t might be our time to howl
For we are sowing the seeds of suspicion an6 m;sirust;
And shall someday reap the bitter harvest.
We shouldn't forget we owe Russia a debt
which we can never repay; for it was her gallant
fighting which held Germany in check;
and paved the way for complete victory!
Today Russia is busy building and working to 1:ake her
future secure.
While Americans are idle and Sinking, with strikes and
unrest everywhere.
And once again peace is tartar away, and once again
Americans are called to pray
But they can pray every hour of the day,
And all through the week
And if they fail to keep
Gods holy word, their prayers are unanswered,
If the world is to escape total disaster;
1t must turn to the blessed Master!
Accept His teachings and obey His word.
Before prayers for peace are heard!
For thus spoke the Saviour Of men,.

Wyatt on his recent visit to Chi
caro-. when WYATT declared the
detectives of the Veterans en-
rgency housing program is homes
for all veterans who need them
for themselves and their families
regardless of race or creed.
Wyatt stressed that it would be
up to each community to tackle
its minority housing problem as
its local program was mapped out.
In the American Council state
ment Weaver commented, the
watt program involves more
than emergency housing. 1t esta-
blishes the basis and will set pat
terns for all future postwar hou
sing activity, the needs CT min
ority groups must be fully ano
adequately considered before po-
Icy on local programs becomes
fixed.
Weaver also pointed to Wyatt's
suggestion that the local enaer
gency committees. to be appoint
ed bym ayers, include repretenta-
Ives of governmer-- veterans
labor, builders, building material

and chambers of commerce.
No mention is made of minority
