7 Plans toAid
District Judges
Near Hearings.
McCurrun Fuvors
z More Jurists Over
Family Court Setup
By Don S. Worren

Competing proposals as to how
the court system here should be
strengthened now are headed for
separate hearings before two
Senate committees.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada Is pushing for early
action on his bill to provide 20
additional Federal district court
judges throughout the country,
including two for the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District OF
Columbia.
This measure. introduced
Tuesday, has been referred to
the Senate Judiciary Committee,
where the Nevada Senator is the
ranking Democrat and former
chairman.
Seeks Early Hearings.
Senator McCarran is calling
for early hearings because OF
concern over the work-load of
the courts here and in some
States.
The earlier proposal for crea-
ton of a separate family court
in the District to handle all
domestic relations cases already
has been scheduled for public
hearings on February "a by the
Senate District Committee.
This measure is sponsored by
the judges of the District Court
and has the approval of men,
bers of the Court of Appeals and
the Supreme Court. The family
court proposal. however, has been
opposed BY the District Bar As
ISOLATION by vote Of 209 to 157.
Opposes Family Court Plan.
Senator McCarran. a former
chairman of the District Com
mittee. has joined the oppoSi-
ton to the family court plan.
suggesting that two additional
judges on the District Court
would be better and less expen-
Sive.
In an outline of his Federal
bill. carried in yesterdays Con-
gressional Record, the Nevada
Senator said:
This (the family court plan
would mean the establishment
of another judicial level in dis
trict which already has q null
tiplicity of courts. This is
not particularly desirable, as it
means more personnel, more
clerks, more court attaches and
more of other forms of judicial
panoply. without any correspond
ing increase in judicial efficiency.
IF two additional district
judges are provided for the Dis
trict of Columbia, they will, of
course, carry on with minimum
increases in present court facili-
ties and personnel and will en-
able the court, not only to allie
vlate whatever situation may
have arisen as regards the load
of domestic relations cases. but
also to handle more efficiently all
the rest of the very heavy work.
load of this court.
Judge Laws Cites Need.
at does not seem to me wise,
In such a growing district. to
create new judges whose serv-
ices will be confined to domestic
relations cases only, when he
can just as we'll handle the Sit
uation with additional manpower
for the present court. and help
all the other work of the court
at the same time"
Chief Judge Bolitha Laws of
the District Court here has ad-
vised the Senate District Com
mittee that, unless the family
court is created, his court will
need three additional judges to
keep up with its case load.

expect any serious effort to be
made for guaranteed annual
wage.
The big industry, which has
granted seven rounds of wage
hikes since World War II, IS feeling
the pinch of a business lag for
the first time in several years
and this is expected to weaken
union bargaining power.
Only recently, David ]. McDon-
aid, president of the steelworkers,
told the unions 39-member Execu-
tive Board that steel production
is down. more than he expected it
to go.

The unions contracts with basic
steel production companies expire

pension programs.
Any wage increase will likely be

tween $2.14 and 1924.
The guaranteed annual wage re-
ceived serious consideration last
fall while the Wage Policy Com
mittee was meeting in New York
but the union has had little to say
about it since.
Mcdonald did not mention the
guaranteed wage in letters sent
steel companies last week notify
ing them the union plans to seek
a new contract. But he did refer
to wage increase and the pension
and insurance programs.

Neither Britain nor France, how.

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary OF
the Army Stevens comes under
TIRE again today at the teleyised
hearings probing into his dispute
with Sen. Mccarthy (R-Wis).
Stevens has testified for at least
part of each of the seven days,
and Mccarthy said he would be
'awfully surprised" If the secre-
tary finishes today.
Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy's chief
counsel, said in advance of the
eighth day of hearings that he
wants to question Stevens further
about the secretary's actions in
relation to Maj. Gen. Kirke B.
Lawton.
Lawton, commanding general at
Fl. Monmouth, NJ, and now on
sick leave here, is reported to
have given the Senate investiga-
tons sub committee in a closed
session testimony favorable to Nc
Carthy's search for subversives in
the Army.
Mccarthy and two Of his aides
have accused Stevens and other
high Pentagon officials of trying
to pressure them into dropping or
diverting that inquiry. They said
the Army officials used as a
hostage" Pvt. G. David Schine,
an unpaid committee aide until he
was drafted last November.
/ Stevens and two associates ac-
cused Mccarthy and Cohn of using
improper methods in seeking an
officers commission for Schine
and, after he was drafted, of try
ing to get favored treatment; for
him. 8.
Mccarthy has stepped off the
subcommittee, which he normally
heads, for this inquiry.
AS for Lawton, Mccarthy has
declared he was passed over for
promotion. to the permanent. rank
of major general. He inferred
Stevens had something to do with
it. Stevens said he had no author
ity to interfere with the recon-.
mendations of Army promotion
boards.
Holding the permanent rank of
brigadier general, Lawton would
have to retire next Nov. 80.
Stevens testified last week he
"got the, word that Mccarthy
wouldn't like the dismissal Of
.Lawton as TT. Monmouth com
mander. Stevens said he didn't GO
through with move to transfer
Lawton. He said this decision was
not based on any fear of Mccarthy.
Weekend criticism from senator's
outside Of the inquiry committee
on he televised scenes of a Re-
publican senator battling with a
COP preside initial appointee
pointed up the political pain felt
by some Republicans over the
whole matter.
Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell of
the Democratic National Commit
tee said on an NBC television pro-
gram yesterday that he thinks
President Eisenhower would ''be
better off, now if he had taken a
position against Mccarthy while
he was campaigning for the pres
idency in 1852.
Mitchell suggested that if Eisen-
hover would step in and "set the
tone as to whether" Stevens had
"appeased" Mccarthy, the whole
investigation could be ended more
quickly. He said he regards the
row as can outstanding example
of weakness on the part of the
Republican administration and the
Republican party"

said he doesn't regard the senator
