JUDGES' RETIREMENT
SENATE APPROVES BILL
NEW YORK, February 28.
The Senate passed by. 76 votes to 4 the measure already adopted by the House of Representatives permitting the voluntary retirement on full pay of Supreme Court judges at the age of 70.
Some factions hope this will pave the way for a compromise on President Roosevelt's proposal to appoint new Judges, through the retirement of at least two of the present Judges, but President Roosevelt intervened personally to prevent the immediate passage of another measure containing less controversial proposals regarding interior courts.
