The President proposed, firstly, that in each instance where a federal Judge reaches the age of 20 and fails to retire, that the President be em- powered to name an additional judge, providing such appointments do not increase the number of Supreme Court Justices above 15, nor 30 for the judiciary as a whole.

Thirdly, transfers and shifts in IRON DUKE" Federal Judges' districts will be allowed In order to accelerate court business.
Fourthly, the Supreme Court will
