Judge Laws Pleads
For Extra Clerks

Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws
of the US. District Court for
the District of Columbia has
appealed to a Senate subcom-
mittee for restoration of money
for 10 clerks which had been
denied by the House.
The jurist asked a Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee for
$37,135 to enable the court to
put on 10 clerks.
The House had been asked by
the judge to appropriate SIT
to pay the salaries of the re-
quested % clerks. The House,
however, allowed funds for only
II of these.
The 10 additional ones for
whom money was requested
would include five clerks in the
court, three for the probation
office, one for the assignment
commissioner and one for the
domestic relations branch.
Testifying at length, Judge
Laws stressed the workload of
the court and insisted the extra
help is badly needed.
Judge Laws said persons who
have looked into the operations
of the court have been amazed
at what was being accomplished
with the shortage Of personnel.
