Sens. Edward Martin (R) and Joseph S. Clark (D) and Reps. Hugh Scott (R) and Caroll(D), Kearns (R) have made a joint plea in filmed television interviews to be shown around the state.

Legislation to create 45 such judgeships including three for eastern and two for western Pennsylvaniahas been hanging fire in both the Senate and House since last year. The aim is to relieve the backlog of Federal Court cases which has cluttered things so much example, it now takes an average of 28 months to get a case through the Eastern District of Federal Court. Scott told a newsman he had been informed the House Judiciary Committee was to hold a hearing today on the bill but that the hearing has been set back a week. "The Justice Department is tremendously interested in getting this bill through," Scott said. "It is greatly concerned over the delay." The delay has been attributed in some quarters to a desire by Democratic party leadership to stave off judicial appointments until the next presidential election, when a Democrat could be elected to name Democratic judges.

The climate for campaigning isn't good. Sporadic rebel bombings, sabotage, killings and the guerrilla war in Oriente province still go on. Constitutional guarantees suspended and a state of emergency is being enforced. This means press, radio and television are heavily censored. Police can raid homes, arrest Cubans without a toss them into jail indefinitely and never say why.

Public assemblies are barred. The government has virtually unlimited authority to take whatever action it deems necessary to rrainlain order and crush "subversive movements." But the government is determined that nothing will stop the The Supreme Electoral Council, established to arrange the November voting, is permitting candidates to address public assemblies whenever such authorization is requested.

They two girls in a St. Louis tavern? Two weeks ago, it was a routine murder case.

Today, it is a mystery compounded by one suspect too many. On July 2, Salvatore (Sam) Ciluffo, a '27-ycar-old illiterate produce clerk, confessed to the slay-ings. lie told police he spent $75 in Bonnie Tavern buying drinks for Virginia (Tatsy) Haney, 29, and Jo Ann Hates, 22. But neither of them would date him, said Ciluffo, so he shot them both June 9. Ciluffo was indicted on two murder charges and that, it appeared, was that.

But last Saturday, police picked up transient Robert V. Sauer, 34. Sauer had two pistols. A ballistics test revealed one of them was the gun which killed the girls. Sauer promptly confessed.

He told officers that Mrs. Haney and Mrs. Bates threatened to tell police about his plans for a holdup. Ciluffo repudiated his confession. Then the situation got real complicated.

There were only two witnesses to the shooting, barmaid Ernestine Yandell and Raynie Navin, a customer. Both had identified Ciluffo as the gunman. Mrs. Yandell, however, changed her mind and said Sauer was the slayer. This time, she said, she was really sure.

There is a slight resemblance between the two men. Navin was returned to St. Louis yesterday from his home in Fitch-burg, Mass. First, he failed to pick out Sauer from a lineup. Brought face to face with Sauer, he said, "I never saw this man in my life." Ciluffo, said Navin, was the man he saw shoot the two women.

Asst. Circuit Atty. Henry J. Fredericks has pointed out that Sauer's possession of the gun is not evidence that he had it on June 9, even if he claims he did. So both men are being held, and Ciluffo still is charged with the slayings.

Overshadowing it were cloakroom hints that, even if the bill at issue were passed, it would be vetoed by President Eisenhower. It's one of the shortest bills to reach the House floor this year, but there is widespread disagreement over what its 74 words provide.

Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va) of the Rules Committee, which cleared the measure a month ago by a 6-5 vote, contends the bill means exactly what it ays: "No act of Congress shall be construed as indicating an intent on the part of Congress to occupy the field in which such act operates, to the exclusion of all state laws on the same subject matter, unless such act contains an express provision to that effect, or unless there is a direct and positive conflict between such act and a state law so that the two cannot be reconciled or consistently stand together." Smith introduced the bill in what he said was an effort to keep state sedition laws effective. He acted after the Supreme Court ruled that a federal antisedition law pre-empted that field and rendered a Pennsylvania law on that subject invalid. But some opponents read into the bill an attempt by Southern Democrats to try to invalidate the federal civil rights law through state laws on the same subject. They said opposition from the Justice and Labor departments gives a good indication that the President would veto the bill if it reached him.

Malone, president-elect of the American Bar says a small delegation of American attorneys will visit the Soviet Union this month to observe courts in action. Malone, of Roswcll, N.M., said the attorneys will spend about 15 days traveling in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.

He said association officials want to determine if there is any hope bonds between the legal professions of the Soviet Union and the United States could be made a basis for improving relations between the two countries.
