The Governor is in the process of deciding upon appointments of a chief justice and two new members of the state's highest court.

He gave assurances that the recommendation would re' ceive careful consideration. The committee consisted of Warren Dixon, chairman. John J. Breslin, Prosecutor Guy W. Calissi, County Counsel Milton T.
