NEWS NOW! More Than 365.000 DES MOINES FAVORITE TOPIC FOR BAR MEETINGIowa Lawyers Eye '42 Court Race MANY TO SEEK REPUBLICAN BID 3 Democrats Due to Be Renominated. By C. C. Clifton. It's not on the formal program, but there'll be a lot of discussion about it at the annual bar meeting this weekthe wide open race for Iowa supreme court nominations in 1912.

Terms of three Democratic justices-the only Democrats remaining on the high court--expire next year. They'll all be renominated in the state judicial convention. talk at Democratic, Cedar Rapids Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be about the probable Republican candidates. Next year is the election year in which lawyers who are not on the bench have the most interest in candidacies for supreme court nominations, because they don't have to compete with the district court judges seeking advancement. of Iowa's 70 district judges, 62 will be up for reelection in 1942, and only eight will be holdovers, unless there are resignations.

There probably will be a resigsince Judge Whitney Gillilland of nation among the holdovers, eight, Glenwood has announced he plans to leave the bench in the fifteenth district before long to enter private practice in Waterloo. The Democratic justices whose terms expire next year are Justices Richard F. Mitchell of Fort Dodge, Carl B. Stiger of Toledo and Edward A. Sager of Waverly, A Certain Candidate.

The most certain to be a candidate for one of the three Republican nominations is Walter A. Newport of Davenport, who was a candidate in the 1940 convention mainly to lay the groundwork for getting one of next year's nominations. Newport was out as a candidate from the present second congressional district, which has no member on the bench. The necessary congressional redistricting of this year for the 1942 elections changes Newport's situation a little. Scott county becomes part of the first district next year, and the first has a justice, Oscar Hale of Wapello, on the court.

The re-shuffling of congressional districts opens the way for forGeorge Claussen of Clinton, a candidate again. Justice, Clinton county still is in the second district, as numbers go, but it is hooked up in a new district with the old second minus Scott, counties from the old fourth, six, one from the old third. The new second district has no member on the supreme court. The seventh district, from which District Judge Earl Peters of Clarinda was a candidate for a Republican supreme court nomination last year, still is seventh for 1942, intact with the addition of Monona county. It has no representative on the supreme court since Justice Paul W.

Richards of Red Oak was defeated in 1940. Judge Mantz, District Judge H. J. Mantz of Audubon, one of the few sitting judges likely to be candidates for supreme court nominations, is quite certain to seek a Republican nomination. Judge Mantz deferred to his colleague, Judge Peters, in the fifteenth judicial district two years ago.

He has widespread support in southern and central Iowa for next year. There is some possibility that either Ralph Swanson Floyd Billings of Red Oak, both, or might be candidates. The district usually makes an advance choice so that only one candidate goes before the state convention. The old eighth district, hereafter the sixth, will have 8 good claim on one of the Republican nominations. That's the home district of Justice Mitchell.

And the new third district, which is combination of eight counties from the old third and the other six counties from the old fourth, will be bidding for recognition. The new third district, however, has three justices on the present court, Justices Stiger and Sager, Democrats, were in the old third, and Justice William L. Bliss of Mason City, Republican, whose term runs to 1944, is moved from the old fourth into the new third. District Locations. Congressional district locations are not at all controlling in judicial nominations.

There were 8 good many lawyers wha favored making nominations last year with a view to distributing the nine justices to locate one in each of the then nine districts by 1942. The change in districts for 1942, made necessary by the loss of one congressman by Iowa, because it reduces Iowa to eight districts, blows up the plan eventually to locate a justice in each district.

Republican nominations will be sought eagerly next year because the trend has been running election of Republican justices. The court was solidly Republican from 1854 until 1932, with one exception. The exception was in the six years after 1891, when Justice La Vega G. Kinne, Democrat, elected with Gov. Horace Boise, was A member.

It became solidly Democratic by 1936, after three successive Democratic election years, and stayed that way for two years. A Change in 1936. In 1936, four Republicans were elected. In 1940, two more Republicans were elected, changing the membership to six Republicans and three Democrats. The Republicans have their chance next year to regain the other three, seats.

Justices do not serve as Republicans or Democrats, but they get their nominations in Republican or Democratic conventions. Their terms are six years, and the expirations are staggered so that terms of three of the nine members expire in each biennial election year. Occasionally, four justices are elected because vacancies occur. Appointments are for terms expiring at the next general election.

LeCron- Continued from Page 1. chases of butter as a result of in-' creased employment under the national defense program has been one of principal factors in the rise in the price of butter.

"Another has been the drought in the states east of the Mississippi river, which has tended to cut down production. "It is not improbable that other foods will have to be taken off the surplus list as they reach LeCron pointed out, however, that butter will be placed back on the surplus list if and when 8 price depressing supply of the commodity should develop. "Supply and Demand." "We are under certain limita-1 tions and restrictions," he said. "The program must be made responsive to the changes in the supply and demand situation. "The important thing is that we now have machinery to use farm surpluses to relieve hunger and want.

"With employment and consumincomes oft the increase, it is natural that decreases should occur in the number of persons eligible to participate in the blue or surplus food stamp program. "It is our job to adjust the program to meet the situation as it is today and to have the machinery to meet any emergencies that might occur after the peak of employment under the defense program and aid to Britain has been passed." He told of the drop in eligible recipients of blue stamps in some areas and the transfer of funds SO that the plan can be put in operation in other areas. Iowa should have all of its counties under the plan, he suggested. At present only about half of Iowa's counties have been included, although in the far west nine states are operating entirely under the food stamp plan for surplus commodity distribution. Instead of having any food products distributed direct to persons on public aid, blue stamps are given to represent 50 per cent of the normal food purchases, and these can be spent for surplus foods at local retail stores.

Six More Counties. Six Iowa counties were added last week to the list of those using food stamps. They are Bremer, Butler, Delaware, Dickinson, Buena Vista and Pocahontas. have moved fairly rapidly since the first food stamps were distributed two years ago," LeCron said. "The program is doublebarreled for the benefit both of the recipients and the farmers whose surpluses are removed from the market.

"I believe the folks in the cities understand the program pretty well and appreciate its benefits, but I doubt that many farmers really have much conception of it. "It looks as if we have quite a bit of educational work to do to get farmers to understand the real significance of this program."
