Better Juries Urged.
For more than a decade. the
Judicial Conference has been
proposing laws to improve the
selection of juries and to pro-
vide uniform qualifications for
jurors. The conference has rec
commended creation Of full-time
jury commissioners. 1t has IA
vored uniform qualifications be-
cause some States have anti
quated exemptions for jurors
which also apply to Federal
juries in those States.
For instance, some States will
not let a woman sit on a jury.
In those States, the women don't
sit on Federal juries either.
Some States exempt toll-keep-
ers, postmen, minor officials.

Unfair to Lawyers.
/ In 1e43. the late Judge Angus

said:

is to entrust the representation
of the defendant to attorneys
who in many cases are not pro-
ficient in criminal cases, what
ever their general ability and
who for one reason or another
cannot be depended upon for
an adequate defense. Too often
under such circumstances the
representation becomes little
more than a form"
The Conference has taken the
view that the lack of any law
to pay or even reimburse the ex-
penses Of attorneys appointed by
the court to defend poor per-
sons is "a serious defect in the
Federal judicial system" Eut
this one hasn't gotten through
