Juvenile Judge,
Bill Adding Two
Is Sent to Senate

A bill to allow appointment
of two new District Juvenile
Court Judges was reported
unanimously TO the floor by the
Senate District Committee to-
day.
Committee Chairman Bible,
Democrat OF Nevada. said he
hopes for Senate action before
spring recess. March 26.
Committee members were
given a very clear showing of
the need for two new judges,
Senator Bible said after a
closed-door session this morn
ing.
The committee shaped a
compromise from two bills
sponsored by Democratic Sen
ators Clark Of Pennsylvania,
and Frear of Delaware.
Senator Frear fought hard in
the executive meeting for strict
qualifications for new judges.

was answered, in part. by inclu-

Senator Frear reserved the
right to amend the bill during
Senate debate. according to
Senator Bible. Reached later,
Spokesman for Senator Frear
said he probably would offer no
amendment but simply make
his position on qualifications
clear to the Senate.
AS reported, the bill would
require appointees to have been
members of the District bar for

He pointed out that this
amount is only S per cent Of

than ! per cent of the country's

are Jets.
He said these allies also have
made available to us $50 bases

sary for our deterrent powers.
Over the last 10 years the
other free nations have put
$l4l billion into their own de-
Tense effort, to which the
United States has added about
$22 billion in military aid.
This prompted Representa-
