MIR. Dunlap noted committee
members seemed to indicate that
the reorganization plan would
create up to 95 or more new offices.
He emphasized that the proposal
represented a consolidation Of zoo
field Offices into not more than rs
'ofnces of district commissioners
and 10 other Offices not yet given
titles.
Would Broaden Powers.
The plan would abolish the 81
collectors throughout the country
and replace them with not more
than Is district commissioners
with broader powers. The confu-
sion about whether the plan would
increase the number of top-level
positions apparently arose from
statements referring to them as
new Offices.
Mr.. Dunlap noted that the plan
would. decentralize the revenue
service.
Major responsibility would be
lodged in the district commits

pointed out, would be the only

Farley Initiates Move
To Modernize DC.
Juror Selection, PAY

Suggestions for moderniging the
selection and pay Of District Court
Jurors was advanced yesterday
afternoon at q meeting Of judges,
lawyers and laymen.
Col, q. Goring Bliss OF the
Jury Commission pointed out that
the Districts archaic" law still
excludes from jury service the
masters Of vessels navigating the
Potomac and the keepers Of aims
houses.
Col. Bliss told some 40 members
Iof the Bar Association committee
for improvement of American JUS
tice that some provision should be
made under the law for assessing
the intelligence Of jurors.
Judge James w. Morris agreed
with Col. Bliss that the code gov
erning jury selection is woefully
obsolescent. He said court officers
need to strain and struggle" with
the language Of the code to pick
good jurors within the meaning Of
the law.
Pay Questioned.
Chief Judge Bolitha Laws, who
presided at the session, brought
up the matter Of compensation. He
explained the judges are finding
1T increasingly difficult to dis
regard the excuses Of prospective
Jurors that they cannot afford to
serve for 81 a day.
While District and Government
officials and employees of some
business Arms receive their regu-
lar pay and. therefore, are not
eligible for the fee. many COM
panies dock employees who are
called for duty In court.
Judge Laws pointed out that
the latter. in their regular Jobs,
often make two or three times
the legal fee.
Heads Of families and others
simply cannot afford TO serve
under these circumstances" the
Judge declared.
Judge Alexander HoltzoH said
this was especially true Of the
building industry, where brick.
layers may be making $24 q day
while their Jobs last. The Judge
suggested that the unions here
might contribute to the income Of
members called for Jury duty.
Union Leaders Complain.
Judge Holtzoff remarked that
union leaders have complained
the unions are not sufficiently
represented on, District jurieS,
although many Union members are
excused for financial reasons they
themselves advance.
Col. Bliss was asked by Judge
Laws to prepare his recommended =
tions for reforming the system

Holtgoff.
