BY the Associated Press

Miss Frieda Hennock, chosen by
President Truman to be a United
States district Judge in New York
but opposed by the Bar Associa-
ton, has waived herself out Of the

sent to the Senate a nomination
Of her to the New York judge
ship. A committee Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association described her
as not qualified. The New York
City Bar Association also opposed
her as o judge.
The Senate never took any &C
ton on her nomination.
In that situation MIR. Truman
could have given her a recess ap-
pointment. letting her serve until
Congress meets and the Senate
again has a chance to pass on her
qualifications.
1t was that kind of appointment
which Miss Hennock told the
President she did not want. She
said also that she was particularly
interested in TV problems and
that the FEC would face many
complex matters during the next
few years"
Truman Praises Service.
Mr.. Truman in a reply praised
her service on the FEC. He said
he considered her highly quail
ned" to be a Federal Judge and
was sorry the Senate had not
acted on her nomination.
Mr.. Edelstein, who gets the
judgeship at least temporarily, is
a 40-year-olds native of New York.
He has been with the Justice De-
partment since 1914 and has been
an Assistant Attorney General
since 1948. He can take Office
now as judge, but a formal nom
ination must be sent to the Sen
ate when it reconvenes.
