They've grabbed one-third of the
city from international control, and
now they're busy consolidating it

Friedrich Ebert. They've given the
United States Government the
greatest insult it has ever received
in peacetime from a supposedly
friendly power, and they think
they've gotten away with it,"
Col. .Howley said he was uncer-
tain whether Ebert, son Of the first

was a member of the Communist
Party.
Il draw no distinction, however.
between fool who obeys Com

Senate Measure Asks 6. W. Student Injured
Two More Judges for
Appeals Court Here

The Senate today received bin to
add two judges to the United States
Court of Appeals here.
The proposal to increase the num-
ber of judges from six to eight on
that court was in a bill introduced
by Senator McCarran. Democrat, of
Nevada to create five additional
judgships for courts of appeal and
II more Federal district judgships
throughout the country.
The measure, Senator McCarran
explained, would put in effect the
recommendations made last Sep
tember by the Judicial Conference
Of the United States, consisting of
Chief Justice Vinson and the chief
judges of the II judicial circuits.
The conference, he said. declared
that the requested additions were
the absolute minimum increase in
judgShips necessary to adequately
man the courts"
The most acute need for addi-
tional judges exists in the court OF
appeals here, Senator McCarran
declared His bill also is designed
to provide relief by adding one judge
each to the court of appeals in the
third circuit, covering New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware: the
seventh circuit. embracing Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. and the tenth
oirc,,it oopcictjpU of Toloro do Ikyvo
ming, Utah. Kansas, Oklahoma and
New Mexico.
The proposed IT Federal district
court judgships would be distrib-
uted as follows:
Four for the southern district of
New York, three for Western Penn
sylvania district, two for Northern
California and Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and one each for New Jersey,
Northern Georgia. Florida. Southern
Texas. Southern California, oregon
and Kansas.
Commenting on the situation In
the Court Of Appeals here, Senator
McCarran said:
The number of cases filed in that
court increased from 264 in 1947 to
348 in 1948. Because of its location
in the Capital of the Nation,
this court receives many more cases
involving Federal administrative
agencies and high Government
officers than do other courts of
appeal.
The pending case load per Judge
at the end of the 1948 fiscal year
was As, compared with an average
Of Is for all the circuits. and was
the highest in the country. The
median time from the filing of
record to final disposition of cases
in the l94S fiscal year was 81 months
here, compared with an average of
i6.3 months for the country.
Chief Judge Stephens estimated
that, after allowance was made for
cases which would be disposed of
without argument or opinion, there
would still be remainder of 37O
cases to be disposed of during the
current year by opinion after
argument.
IF this could be done it would
require each of the six present judges
to write some 81 opinions during the
year, which compares with an aver
afe of q opinions per year written
by the judges of this court during
the past nine fiscal years. The pro-
posed addition of two judges will
still require high average output"
Senator McCarran said a vast
increase in the number of civil
cases, particularly those involving
especially complicated legal prob
lens. is the greatest single reason
for requesting additional judges.

Blizzard Now Abatinq,
But Snow Drifts Leave
Thousands Stranded

The winter seasons worst blizzard
abated over parts Of the western
plains today, indicating some relief
from the paralyzing effects of the

The Dakotas and Western Ne
braska still battled the storm. In

digging out of the huge drifts was
started.
But as the blizzard subsidized, Fed
eral Weather officials said the storm

where an all-time low of 279 de-
grees was reported yesterday.
While damage to Southern Cali
fornia field crops was believed to be
relatively light, loss in orange, lemon

days to weeks before the fruit show
permanent damage. so no accurate

zard. only two deaths attributable

and one in Wyoming. However, an
undetermined number of persons
suffered from exposure.
At Rockport. Colo, 465 persons
