By Judge Matthew'S

Judge Burnita S. Matthews Of
the United States Court for the
District Of Columbia has called
on the League of Women Voters
to back the proposed Family
Court here.
Judge Matthews told the
Women Voters last night that

As many as 10 different judges

clared. She added that. like
'.ordinary humans" they might
be prone to forget the individ-
ual case before it is settled. In
the Family Court. the jurist
said, such cases would receive
prompt and special treatment.

She added that the Family
Court would appoint investi-
gators who would subpoena and
interview witnesses and take this
load off the judges.

clared, also would result in more

West Favors Delay
In u. N. Debate on
.IsraeIi-Egypt Row
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Oct.
IA strong move was reported
afoot today to block Security
Council debate on Israel's latest
charge of Egyptian interference
with Suez Canal shipping un-
til the United Nations Mixed
Armistice Commission completes
an on-the-spot check.
Abba Eban. chief Israeli del
egate, planned to submit to the
Council this afternoon lengthy
claim of Suez violations by Egypt
with emphasis on what he
termed the illegal arrest and
detention of the SCOT on
freighter Bat Calm on Septem-
ber %.
But informed sources said Leb-
anon, sole Arab member of the
11-nation Council, would spear
head a West-supported move to
postpone discussion of the case
until the armistice commission
turns in it's report on the Bat
Calm incident.
Loss of Two Lives Claimed.
Egypt has said she impounded
the Bat Calm after the ships
crew fired on two Egyptian fish
ing boats, sinking one with a
loss of two lives. Israel denied
the charge.
Egypt asked the commission to
investigate the case last week
after Israel had called for a Sc
curity Council meeting to air her
complaint. Israel officials Ia
beled this a maneuver to pigeon
hole the issue and urged the
commission to take quick action.
Some observers speculated
that Britain particularly might
welcome a chance to hold off
debate on the touchy issue be-
cause of her current delicate ne
gotiations with Egypt over the
Suez Canal zone.
