COULD PROMOTE HILL JlWis and Aylward Appwent- ly Are Favored for District Jobs. x-' By Jack Williams. Washington Correspondent.

Washington, Aug. ter going along with the ad ministration in its losing fight on the foreign aid bill in the House, Rep. J. Floyd Breeding (D'Kas.) is pressing for an end tcCthe judgeship muddle in his state. Breeding is hopeful his state wUl get the Tenth district appellate Judgeship created by Congress.

The legislation also provides for a third federal district judge in the state. Has Job to Himself. is the only Democrat from Kansas in Congress. Frank Theis, Democratic national committeeman, is a candidate for one of the appointments. That dumps the job of getting the selections made largely onto shoulders.

Theis has been recom mended by Breeding for either the appellate or the district place. He has sent to the Jus tice department a score of other names. It is believed there is little chance of getting the selections worked out until Breeding and party leaders in the state get together on single names for place. LThe latest development is the entry of the name of Aylward, Ellsworth lawyer, into speculation. He was here and talked at the Justice department.

Has Strong Backing. Aylward has been recommended by both Mrs. Georgia Neese Gray, national committeewoman, and John Montgom ery, state chairman. Breeding aaid today. Breeding said he also had endorsed Aylward along with the others.

Aylward supported Senator Symington in the presidential campaign las year. Breeding was a supporter of Vice-President Lyndon Johnson for the top nomination. It is understood Symington will do all he can to help Aylward if asked to. Breeding said on his next visit to the Justice department he might take along He did not say who he was considering. The push behind Aylward is taken to mean here that there is a strong likelihood district Judge Delmas C.

Hill of Wichita may be in line for promotion to appellate place which would then leave two district benches to be filled. It is un derstood the Justice department looks favorably upon the promotion of Hill. Breeding said he was receiving a heavy mail supporting Hill. He added at least half of the letters are from Republicans. Two Seen in Lead.

Should Hill get the place on the higher court, some think it would appear at this stage of the muddle that Theis and Aylward may be in the lead for two district court appoint ments. Breeding has been at the Justice department twice in the last few days and is anxious to get the matter worked out. He faces a tough battle for re-election next year. He will be opposing Rep. Bob Dole, Republican.

Their districts have been merged in redistricting and it will be a battle of survival between the two next year. Breeding skillfully side fitepped taking a firm position on any candidate except Theis who he feels is entitled to the place for his service to the party as state chairman and national committeeman. Theis was the Democratic candidate against Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel, Republican, last fail.
