Creation of 59 New
Federal Judgeships
WASHINGTON (iP) — Atty Gen
Robert L Kennedy today asked
Congress to create 59 new federal
judgeships
An administration bill sent to
the House and Senate would pro-
‘ide nine new judges for the US
Courts of Appeals and 50 new fed-
eral district court judgeships
In identical letters to Vice Presi-
dent Lyndon B jahnson and House
Speaker Sam Rayburn Kennedy
said there has been no increase in
the federal judiciary since 1954 and
asserted
"Since 1954 there has been a de-
crease in the total number of
judicial positions resulting from the
expiration of three judgeships
created on a temporary basis
''In the meantime the increase
in litigation in the federal courts
has created serious problems of
court congestion with consequent
delay in disposition of the cases
AMOng others the bill would in-
crease the number of circuit judges
in the Tenth Circuit (Colorado
Kansas New Mexico Oklahoma
Utah Wyoming) from five to six
New district judgeships would
include one for Kansas
Some Counties Stand
To Lose Representative
OKLAHOMA CITY liP) — About
40 counties would lose a repre-
sentative under two reapportion-
ment plans to be considered by the
House Of Representatives
Both bills call for present reap-
portionment provisions of the Con-
stitution to be followed
One was introduced in the House
Thursday by O R Wilhelm Erick
The other is to be introduced Mon-
day by Rep Clyde Sare Bartles-

"Where do we go from here?"
This is the $64 question as far as
the Oklahoma Legislature is con-
cerned It was bandied about in the Sen-
ate chambers and on the House
side too as thf sixth week of this
session came to a close
For six weeks the house and
Senate have been talking about the
financial crisis There have been
many speeches on economizing and
living within the tax structure and
on increasing taxes if necessary to
provide the people with a good pro-
gram But decisions on how to solve the
crisis—on where to economize or
what tax to boost—have not been
made

Pile of Snow Near Hohie
NEW BRUNSWICK N J UP)--A
four-year-old girl was rescued early
today from a pile of snow alongside

The child Rose Mary Kinsey

Kinsey was taken to Middlesex

her home which is in a basement
apartment

He was in the alley when he
heard "What sounded like a PUPPY

Thursday faces almost all the op-
position that kept a similar proposal
