THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
How Many Judges Are Needed?

as Republicans to these add
ed posts. In vain. 1t has been
freely admitted that the
Democratic leadership. be-
lieving they had a chance to
put a Democrat in the White
House through the 1860 elec-
ton, was willing to gamble.
And now the appointments
are to be made by President
Kennedy. The President has
promised, and so has the
Attorney General, Robert
Kennedy, that the best quail
flied men will be selected for
the judgeships. No one, how
ever, will be surprised If they
find it possible to select the
best qualified men" from
the ranks of Democrats.
DirkSen Cites Figures
The Republican leader Of
the Senate, Senator Everett
M. Dirksen of Illinois, dis
cussing the judgeships bill
in the Senate last Friday.
said he had the figures show
ing just how many district
and circuit judges were Re-
publicanS and how many
were Democrats. OF circuit
court judges, he said, there
are 35 Republicans and 20
Democrats, with four vacan-
cies to be filled. At the dis,
trict court level, the Demo-
Gratis have the present advan-
age, with 125 judges to 119
for the Republicans and two
vacancies. Senator DirkSen,
always courteous but some
times caustic and a bit cyni-
cal. said he did not think the
Republicans would get an
equal share with the Demo-
Gratis Of the new judges to
be appointed, adding: But
my optimism Is always high.
and I hope we might be re-
membered in this distribu-
ton, because judgeships are
really choice patronage prod
ucts."
Senators, Congressman and
other party leaders love to
have a say in the appoint
ment Of Federal judges. Some
Of them would like to be ap-
pointed themselves. It has
been predicted that the Ken
nedy administration would
use the patronage club in q
big way to get what it wants
in the way Of legislation from
Congress. The appointment
Of so or 10 new Federal
judges is no small weapon to
place in the hands Of any
man determined to have his
way.
With the great growth of
population and business, in
cluding law business, and q
big, backlog Of cases in the
Federal courts, Congress
should provide for additional
judges, and the Chief Ex-
ecutive should appoint them
promptly. There should be .
rule Of reason, however, con-
trolling the actual number
needed and the qualities and
abilities of the judges ap-
pointed. Senator Dirksen, in
this connection. thoughtfully
produced figures to show the
cost by the year Of each ad-
ditional Federal judge. A
circuit Judge, for the first
year. adds 500. 900 to Federal
expenditures, for salary, ex-
ira employees, etc., without
any added costs for court
room, chambers and office
space. and $65,700 for sue
ceeding years: a district
judge, $4,000 for the first
year and $5o,000 for each.
succeeding year. y
No doubt, as Mr.. Dirksen
said, the President will ap-
point qualified men to these
judgeShips. But these ap-
pointmentS will be carefully
scrutinized and also their
implications. =,

OAA4CcO GIL oASAAo Ah4AB ASo4
dent Kennedy soon will be
authorized by Congress to
appoint a large number Of
new Federal judges. both cir
cult and district, to fill added
judgeships. The Senate, in
deed, passed last week a bill
authorizing 73 such appoint
ments. This is IA more than
the most recent recommen-
dation of the Judicial Con-
ference of the United States,
composed of the Chief JUS
tice, representatives Of each
of the judicial circuit courts
and of the Federal district
courts. The Judicial Confer
ence should have the last
word on what is needed in
the matter of added judges,
for it makes a thorough inves-
tigation Of the courts, Of the
work required of them and
whether it is accomplished.
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee recently reported a
bill providing for SO judicial
appointments, and the Sen
ate, during it's speedy con-
sideration Of the measure
added 10 more.
The House so far has taken
no action on a bill increaS-
ing the number Of Federal
judges. although such a
measure is before the House
Judiciary Committee on
which hearings have been
held. 1t happens that the
Judicial Conference is to meet
March 13 and IA. There is
reason to believe the confer
ence may revise upward its
recommendation of So such
appointments-for there is
no doubt the number of cases
Of all kinds that may come
before the Federal courts is
constantly increasing, and
no doubt that the courts in
some districts and circuits
are far behind. But that the
Judicial Conference would
recommend as large an in
crease as the Senate bill now
provides is another matter.
1t is certainly one that should
be carefully Scrutinized by
both the Judicial Conference
and in turn by the House
Committee on Judiciary. The
Senate did not delay action
to await a further report
from the Judicial Conference.
The House committee and
the House itself, however, are
in position to receive this
advice.
Prime Political Patronage
Federal judgeships - and
Federal judges who fill the
posts - should be above par
tiSan politics. Fortunately,
in most cases they have been.
But Federal Judge appoint
ments also have been con-
Sidered some OF the most
juicy bits Of political pa
tronage. They still are. And
the appointment of addition
al judges provides a fruitful
field. Any doubt Of this po-
litical angle is speedily dis
PEELED when it is recalled that
it was back in 1854, when
the Republicans controlled
both Congress and the White
House, that new judgeships
were authorized. Since that
time former President EiSen-
hover again and again rec
commended additional judge
ships - in conformity with
the recommendations of the
Judicial Conference. But for
the last six years the Demo-
Gratis controlled Congress.
Nothing was done, no mat
ter what the needs Of the
courts. The Republican Pres
ident strongly urged the pas
sage Of a bill calling for SO
added Federal judges, as rec
commended. He promised to
appoint as many Democrats

Hounds Of History

THROUGH it's purely legendary that st.
Patrick rid Ireland of snakes. it's not
fiction that the Saints favorite animal rid
Ireland of wolves. The connection between
missionary and pet goes back to the early
fifth century when st. Patrick escaped from
captorS and fled to the coast of Ireland. His
first contact, according to the story was
with traders engaged in exporting Irish wolf
hounds Patrick spent some days aboard wolf
hound-carrying ship and became affection
ately attached to the breed. So much has he
become identified with the dogs that a recent
Dublin religious pageant hOnoring st. Patrick
included two wolf11ounds in the cast. This
year, which marks the l5OOth anniversary
of Patricks death, will undoubtedly see
many similar ceremonies.
In 1852, the popularity of the huge hounds
was such that law was passed in Ireland
prohibiting their export to prevent danger
Gus shortage Possessing keen sight, great
strength and speed, the wolfhound was prize
hunting animal back in the days when packs
of wolves ravaged Ireland Large-scale hunts
were organized then with thousands of men
and hounds to clear whole regions of wolves
and wild boarS. By the end of the 18th century,
the wolf problem was just about licked and the
wolfhounds, no longer a necessity, began
to decrease in number Devotees of the breed,
however, kept them alive and vigorous.
Early signs of the hounds in the United
States were noted in 1882 when two pairs of
Irish wolfhounds we're imported from Ireland
to encourage breeding. In this century more
than 1900 Irish wolfhounds have been reg
istered with the American Kennel Club and
they are represented at many dog show,
often living up to their homegrown reputa-
ton of king of the canine world"
