Ewell's-St. Paul Church Notes
Sunday, March goth is the fourth
Sunday in Lent, the season Of
greater confidence in the spiritual,
Confidence II the state of being
able to trusts necessary part
of life. There must be confidence
in ourselves that allows self-re-
spect, and will keep us trying to
live UP to the best of our capac-
ities-to not have ''self-confidence"
is to be miserable and to cripple
ones efforts towards growth.
Then, there must also be con-
fidence in other people that allows
friendships, and love to develop,
and will help to make us outgo-
ing. The two-self-confdence, and
other than self-confidence go to-
gether; the last to temper the
first. Both, however, depend upon
a greater confidence" and if we
are to think rightly of ourselves
and of others, we must have this
confidence. Paul says, 1--WE place
our whole confidence in the living
God, the saviour of all men, and
particularly of those who believe
in Him." Lent is that time when
we realize that our whole conf
dence must be placed first in God.

The new law Congress passed
this spring raising its own pay
and the salaries of Federal
judges may cost Representative
Miller, Republican, of Maryland.
q long-awaited appointment to
q Federal judgeship in Balti-
more.
That was disclosed yesterday
as Senator Butler. Republican.
of Maryland. announced that he
planned to confer Thursday or
Friday with Attorney General
Brownell on the appointment Of
a successor to Federal District
Judge William C. Coleman, who
has resigned from the Federal
bench in Baltimore effective
June /.
Senator Butler also announced
that he will introduce this week
a bill to create a third Federal
district judgeship for Maryland.
An aide to Senator Butler said
one of the problems the Senator
wishes to discuss with Mr..
Brownell and Deputy Attorney
General Rogers is the question
of whether Mr.. Miller. generally
considered to be the leading Re-
publican candidate for any Fed
eral bench vacancies in Mary
land. is legally eligible for
appointment now.
The judiciary committees OF
the Maryland and Baltimore Bar
Associations have omitted Mr..
Miller from their recent lists of
Evening star., 1955-05-22

Montgomery County's commit
ting magistrates who set col
laterals and issue warrants will
be stripped Of their authority
June l by creation Of the new
Peoples Court, according to an
opinion issued by the Maryland
Attorney General.
The second major dilemma
created by the Peoples Court
bill was revealed yesterday by
Representative Hyde, Republi-
can, of Maryland, a Montgom-
cry resident.
Mr.. Hyde in a prepared state
ment released an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Fer
dinand Sybert to Gov. McKeldin.
The attorney generals ofice
ruled that the sweeping author
ity in criminal matters granted
the Peoples Court has in ef-
feet abolished the position OF
justices Of the peace sitting as
committing magistrates in Mont
gomery County and transferred
exclusive criminal jurisdiction
to the judges of the Peoples
Court"
Talk With McKeldin
Mr.. Hyde said the situation
was called to his attention dur
ing a discussion he had with
the Governor concerning a JUS
tice of the peace appointment
In the county.
The Peoples Court bill passed
by the last General Assembly
provides for three county coun-
cil-appointed, full-time judges
at $40, ,O00-a-year salaries to re-
place the present part-time trial
magistrates.
Although the bill apparently
was intended to abolish the trial
magistrate positions, it also
knocks out the committing mag
istrates without providing for
replacementS.
At present, the county budget
provides for 81 justices of the
peace. Many work eight-hour
daily shifts, sitting at the police
station on an around-the-cloc
basis, to set collaterals and trial
dates, to issue warrants and
establish bonds.
All Traffic Cases
The police station assigned
| judges handle all traffic sum-
monses issued in the county.
The two Peoples Court judges
slated to handle traffic, civil and
criminal cases also will have to
assume the work ofthe commit
ting magistrates, Mr.. Hyde said.
"It also means these Peoples
Court judges will have to be on
| duty "a hours day." he added.
Evening star., 1955-05-22
Pay Increase May Bar
Federal Bench to Miller

recommended successors to Judge
Coleman. the aide added, be-
cause they feel passage of the
congressional pay raise measure
rules out appointment Of the
veteran Eastern Shore Congress-
man.
Bar leaders explain that the
Constitution prohibits a men,
ber of Congress from accepting
appointment to a position for
which the salary has been in
creased by an Act passed in the
members present term. Mr..
Miller, by this reasoning, would
not be eligible to accept a Fed
eral judgeship until his term ex-
pires in January, 1857.
Mr.. Miller, who is serving his
fifth term as Republican repre-
sentative of the predominantly
Democratic 1st district, almost
was appointed to the Baltimore
Federal Bench last year wher
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut went
into semiretirement.
Although he had the backing
of both bar associations and both
Maryland Senators, Beall ane
Butler, Mr. Miller finally with
drew himself from consideration
because Republican party strate.
gists convinced him his first duty
then was to keep the Democrats
from taking over his seat in the
House.
1t was understood in high
party circles, however, that Mr.
Miller would be first in line fol
the next Federal bench vacancy
| in Maryland.

Peoples Court to Replace
Montgomery Magistrates

Mr.. Hyde said: 'It Is obvious
that the only remedy for the
ridiculous situation before Feb
ruary 1856 (the next regular
Assembly SESSION. is special
session of the legislature"
An earlier crisis developed in
connection with the Peoples
Court bill when Senator Edward
S. Northrop, Democrat. of Mont
gomery. blocked Senate conf1r-
nation Of McKeldin-appointed
trial magistrates to hold Office
between May / and June IS
when the new Peoples Court
judges take over.
No Interim Candidates
The Republican State Cen
tral Committee, whose selections
were held up. was unable to
get attorneys to sit during the
interim and the county faced
a situation in which there was
to be no lower court system. The
County Council, however, per-
suaded the three men slated to
become the new Peoples Court
judges to sit as trial magistrates
during the interim.
One of these selections, Ju-
venile Court Judge Alfred D.
Noyes, however. was barred be-
cause his name was among those
the Senate had failed to con-
firm. The result is that Judge
Noyes now is sitting only as a
referee in the court while de-
cisions officially are being rem
dered by the other two judges,
Einar B. Christensen and John
B. Diamond, III.
