of enactment today.
The Senate last night passed
the House bill with only a minor
amendment providing that one

court. The bill now goes back
to the House for concurrence in
the change.
The bill calls for appointment

judges for eight-year terms. be-
ginning May /. They would re-
ceive $4,000 a year and would
be barred from maintaining
private law practice.
One of the judges would serve
as juvenile court judge. The
other two would handle all GRIM
inal traffic and civil cases now
handled by the part-time trial
magistrates who, in effect, would
be ousted by the new legislation.
The jurists would continue to
sit in Rockville, Bethesda and
Silver Spring and at least part
of one day in Takoma Park.
The bill. which had the sup
port of the County Bar Associa-
ton, also would deprive Repub-
1ican Gov. McKeldin of four
trial magistrate appointments.
The Senate Banking, Insur-
ance and Social Security Com
mittee delivered a favorable re-
port yesterday on a House bill
barring any new branches in
Maryland of District or other
out-of State building and loan
associations. The Senate was
slated to vote on the committee
report today.
The House gave seminal
