The winner-Fred March.

were Marion Brando. William

The record pretty much

And as Oscar time nears, he
is talked of again for 'Execu-

he doesn't stand q chance.

Fred believes that the Oscar

Butler viii Propose
Inviting Chief Justice
To Address Congress

Senator Butler. Republican. Of
Maryland. said today he plans
to introduce on Friday a con-
current resolution inviting the
Chief Justice Of the United
States to address Congress on
the state of the Judiciary.
Senator Butler is a member
of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. He said his resolution
would provide that. upon the
BEGINNING of each regular ses-
sion Of the Congress, the Chief
Justice of the United States
shall be invited to address the
Congress with respect to the
state of the Judicial branch of
the Government, and upon his
acceptance of the invitation. a
Joint session Of the Senate and
the House of Representatives
shall be convened to hear his
address as soon as may be prac-
ticable after the delivery by the
President Of his state-of-the-
Union message to the Congress. "
It was understood that efforts
are underway in both the House
and the Senate for bipartisan
sponsorship of resolutions now
being drafted to invite the Chief
Justice to address the Congress.
Senator Butler said such prob
lens as crowded dockets and in
sufficient personnel impair the
effectiveness of the Judiciary. He
said these deficiencies can and
should be corrected.
"But first" he said, I'VE must
have a continuing report from
those best qualified to give the
public and the Congress the de-
tailed facts. That job should be
properly delegated to the Chief |
Justice Of the United States. The |
prestige Of his high office and
his own personal prestige viii
give the weight and the impor- |
tance TO the presentation Of the |
state Of the Judiciary. When he
talks, the Nation win listen"
