In Naming New Judges

President Truman today ignored
recommendations from Senator
Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois, as
he nominated two Chicagoans for
long vacant posts in United States
District Court for the northern
district of Illinois.
The President selected Munich
|pal Judge Joseph Jerome Drucker,
Ia nephew of Representative Sab
|ath, Democrat, of Illinois, and
Circuit Judge Cornelius j. Har-
|rington for judgeships created
many months ago.
For those two places Senator
Douglas had recommended Will
liam H. King, jr.. a Chicago at
torney and Circuit Judge Ben
jamin T. Epstein.
A third nomination went to At
torney Joseph Samuel Perry Of
Wheaton, ILL.,, who has Senator
Douglas backing. Mr.. Perry is
to succeed the late Judge Elwyn
r. Shaw.
Senator Douglas was away from
his office over the week end on

certain whether he would fight
the appointments.
The White House has never
explained why the appointments
were so long in the making, but
