| Need Of More Jurists
Here Very Serious
Judge Stephens Says

The need for additional Judges
in the District is very serious. y
Chief Judge Harold M. Stephens
of the United States Court of Ap-
peals told House Judiciary sub
committee today. He urged that
three judges be added to the Ap-
pellate Court and three more to
District Court due to the current
backlog of cases.
The legislation as submitted to
the subcommittee called for two
additional judges for the Appel
late Court. but Judge Stephens. in
his testimony. said that three ad-
ditional iurists were needed in
that court.
Judge Stephens said the current
number of judges cannot dispose
of the cases as speedily as they
should be handled.
Sees Increasing Burden.
"A serious and permanent ar
rearage in the disposition of cases
is not to be countenanced," he
said. THE disposition of the
cases by cursory opinion is neither
desirable nor a practical expe-
dent.
THE case load of the court ap-

they were $50. 1t is conservative
to estimate that in the fiscal year
1949 there will be no diminution
in this figure of 350."
Presents Figures.
He presented figures showing
that 700 motions must be acted
on annually by the chief judge
alone. and that each judge will
write about 62 opinions during the
current fiscal year. He pointed
out in the District "the nature of
the judicial business is such as
not to lend itself to an extraor-
dinary quantity output"
On hand to testify later were
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws of
District Court and number of
prominent members of the bar
here. Judges Henry w. Edgerton,
Wilbur K. Miller and Bennett

Fund Urged 10 Further
Redeve|opment Plan

Funds to carry out the require
ments of the District Redevelop.
ment Land Agency Act, now sty-
mied for lack of appropriations
were sought today by the Metro
politan Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects.
Harry Barrett, president Of the
chapter. made the request in a
letter to Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
The first need, Mr.. Barrett said
is for the early publication of the
so-called master plan required by
the act. Congress appropriated
funds to draw up the plan. but
made no provision to pay for its
publication and distribution by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Mr.. Barrett said he believed the
plan should be produced in guam
titles sufficient to make it avail
able throughout the Nation to all
who request information.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Barrett pointed
out. the Planning Commission and
the Land Agency undoubtedly
would like to have the benefit of
a full public review of their pro-
posals for slum clearance. With
out a hearing, he said no agency
would want the responsibility of
affecting the future course in any
area.
Until the master plan is pub
lished and facts are known. Mr.
Barrett said his own group is not
in a position to support requests
for funds for particular areas OF
redevelopment.
