Marital Cases
Shift Approved
House Passes Bill;
Conference Set

Legislation to transfer do
nestle relations cases from the
III. S. District Court for the Dis
Court today was headed for q
compromise conference between
House and Senate. 81.
| Passed yesterday by the House
the measure was sent back tc
the Senate, which earlier hac
approved such a transfer. but
with somewhat different pro-
visions Of law.
The House acted by voice vote
after it had rejected a motion
to recommit the bill to the House
District Committee for further
study. The motion offered by
Representative Hyde. Republican
of Maryland. was defeated by a
standing vote Of so to 81.
New Bill Proposed
| Mr.. Hyde told the House he
was introducing a bill sponsored
by a committee of the District
Bar Association to set up do
nestle relations branch in the
District Court. which now is
handling such cases. He asked
the House to send the measure
transferring family disputes to
Municipal Court back to the
House District Committee for
further study along with his own
bill The House refused.
Mr.. Hyde was supported in his
position by Representative Aber-
inethy. and Representative Will
liams. both Mississippi Demo-
Gratis.
The measure sent to the Sen
ate was championed on the
House floor by Representatives
Harris. Democrat Of Arkansas,
Mcmillan, Democrat of South
Carolina. and O'Hara. Republic
can of Minnesota. They were
strongly supported by House
Majority Leader Mccormack and
Representative Halleck. Repub-
lican of Indiana.
Passed Senate In May
The measure originally was
passed by the Senate last May
I3l, was considered at length by
the House District Committee.
1t was amended and sent to the
House floor with several changes
from the Senate version. The
Senate is expected to ask the
House for a conference. so that
a committee from both bodies
can resolve differences between
the House and Senate versions.
Both the House and Senate
versions would transfer the
family cases to Municipal Court,
relieving pressure on the Fed
eral Court. which is behind In its
docket.
Principal Differences
Among the principal differ
ences to be settled in House.
Senate conference are these:
The House bill would add three
judges to the lower court branch;
the Senate would add two.
The House bill would eliminate
provisions of the Senate bill pro-
Ividing for appointment of COM
missioners to assist judges sit
ting in the Domestic Relations
Branch Of Municipal Court.
The House bill would eliminate
the Senate bills provision for
rotation of all judges on the
Municipal Court in hearings on
family cases.
Both House and Senate ver-
sions ignore earlier recommended
tons to set up an entirely sep
arate court.

The

An Honest Return
At Internal Revenue
Nv JACK JONAS

Revenue Service was talking
about pencils.
"You know how 1t is with a
pencil" he said. "You just
sort of stick 1t in your pocket
automatically when you're
through with it, or sometimes
it looks like a nice pencil, and
after all, the Government
wouldn't miss it.
We'll, we expect to lose a lot
of pencils every year when the
taxpayers come in to get help
with their income tax returns.
They inadvertently walk off
with them.
1.-THE other day we got a let
ter from a lady-a real lady
out in Silver Spring. She wrote
that she had been in to get
help from one Of our agents,
thanked us for the help, and
added:
81 found that I had mad
vertently carried away the en-
closed pencil. I would appre-
ciate very much If you would
see that it is returned with my
apology
LAS far as we know, that's
the first pencil we've ever got
