Review Power Urged
For Court Of Appeals
By Judge Sobe|off
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-A re-
vision Of Maryland's legal sys-
TEN to permit the Court of APP
peals to review sentences was
urged yesterday by Chief Judge
Simon e. Sobelof in a farewell
speech before becoming United
States Solicitor General.
Judge Sobeloff, who steps down
February Is from the Court of
Appeals bench to begin his new
duties in Washington, made his
recommendations in a speech
telecast from Baltimore.
The chief judge thinks Mary
lands highest court ought to
have authority to decide whether
a lower court judges sentence is
just-especially in death penal
ties-and not be limited to de-
Gliding just the guilt or inno-
cence of a person or whether
his trial was technically correct.
At present, only the Governor
can change a sentence once a
trial judge has given a man a
death penalty. Judge Sobelof
said he feels the people do not
fully understand this. He said
some people mistakenly think
1.-The courts are being flouted by
the Governor" if he commutes
a death penalty.
The chief judge said Mary
land should try the system now
In use in England where all
sentences in all cases are sub
ject to review by higher courts.
He said 1t would result in greater
public confidence in the courts
and less interference by the Gov
ernor in questionable cases.
