Show I UEFKLV REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL. AUGUST 4. 1LF7 By JOHN W. GARDNER would It Americans shock many to know Federal judges-tho- se symbols of that black-robe- d integrity-a- re often chosen for their lofty positions on the basis of cronyism and politics. WED LIKE to think that our Federal judges are chosen for the highest considerations of personal fitness. But in fact His Honor may hold his post solely because he held the right political cards and played them shrewdly. Theoretically, the President chooses federal judges. But by long tradition, federal judgeships are political plums that Senators are privileged to hand out. SOMETIMES they hand the plum to a good jurist, sometimes to a political crony, sometimes to someone theyre indebted to. A rotten system, but most Senators love it! And theyll hang on to it unless the citizens pry it loose. Mrs. Vida Roueche still occupies this home at 1572 East 1000 North, East Layton, which is 101 years old. The structure is made of three layers of brick, inside and out. Home was site of first East Layton town hall in 1936. two-stor- y OCCUPIES HOME By GARY R.

IN ADDITION to the148 new judgeships, 23 vacancies exist in the federal district court and nine in the circuit courts. This means that in time a quarter of the total number of federal judges will be Carter appointees. Its a perfect moment to institute a new system!
