D. C. LAWYER OFFERS
PLAN ON JUDICIARY
Proposes Amendment to Permit
Appointments for Varying
Terms in First Set-Up.
A new proposal for a constitutional
amendment to meet the objections
raised to the President’s court reorgan
ization plan was submitted to Chair
man Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary
Committee today by Richard E. Well
ford. Washington attorney.
Wellford proposed an amendment i
to establish a Supreme Court of nine j
justices, the present number. In the j
first set-up of the court the justices
would be appointed as follows:
One for two years, one for four i
years, one for six years, one for eight :
years, one for 10 years, one for 12
years, one for 14 years, one for 16 j
years and one for 18 years. There- ;
after, all justices would be appointed i
by the President with the advice and '
consent of the Senate for a term of
18 years or during good behavior.
If any justice should die, resign or
be removed during his term of office,
his successor would be appointed to
fill the remainder of his unexpired
term. All the justices must retire
when thelr-term of office expires, or in
any event on reaching, the age of 70
years, in which case retirement would
be at full pay.
Wellford pointed out his method
would inject new blood into the judici
ary every two years, and that every

TOKIO ARMS PACT HOPE
IN SIR ROBERT LESLIE
By the Associated Press.
TOKIO, March 15.—The appoint
ment of Sir Robert Leslie Craigie as
Ambassador to Japan may lead to
a new effort by the chief naval powers
to reach a limitations agreement,
said leading Japanese newspapers last
night.
They recalled that Sir Robert had
been for some years the London
foreign office’s outstanding authority
on disarmament problems and had
especially distinguished himself in the
negotiations with Japan and the
United States in the 1936 London
naval parleys.
One commentator asserted Sir Rob
ert’s appointment indicates the great
importance the British government
attaches to Japan’s future naval plans
and the question of fortifications in
the Pacific.
The new Ambassador has been as
sistant undersecretary of state in the
foreign office since 1934. In Tokio he
will succeed Sir Robert Henry Clive,
transferred to Brussels and Luxemburg.
