Johnson of Expectation of the retirement Judge Tillman D. Johnson of tbe United States district court, who reached the age last Sunday when he may leave the bench at will to take federal pension, has caused many eyes to turn toward the Important position he has held for more than ten years, it was stated Wednesday. Belief was expressed that this possible vacancy, with its $10.04)0 a year salary, may have an Important bearing upon this year's judicial campaign. Johnson has Although Judge reached the age of 70, it was said that, as the law under which federal judges are pensioned does not quire retirement at that age, he may continue to preside over tbe United states district court for some time The judge has not yef made up his rama as to wnat ne will do. When asked Wednesday about the report mat he might retire the present year, he replied:during "I have not given the matter consideration." May Net Quit Post Until After Election. While some of Judge Johnson's friends expressed belief That he would not retire until after the presidential election next fall, belief that he may leave his post sooner has caused much discussion of his probable successor. Two of the justices of the Utah supreme court have been mentioned for the federal judgeship. These are Justice Daniel N. Straup and Justice James W. Cherry. Another member of the bench mentioned is Judge William M. Met' rea of the district court.

Several prominent members of the Utah bar also have been mentioned. State supreme court Justices re- ISvee a year, or half the salary of a federal judge. District Judges receive 14200.

It would open tbe way for a member of the bar to ascend to a seat In the district court. among According to expectations members of the Salt Lake county bar. practically all of the six district judges will be renominated at the coming judicial convention.
