There was speculation by political sources in New York and Washington last week that another top NAACP legal staff official would be nominated by President Kennedy for a federal judgeship. The sources expect that Robert L. Carter, NAACP general counsel, would be nominated soon by the President for judge of the U S Customs court, a $22,500 lifetime job. Carter would succeed Judge Irvin C. Moilison of Chicago, also a Negro, who died last June. His appointment by Kennedy would mark the second time the administration has named an NAACP lawyer to the federal judiciary. Thurgood Marshall, former chief of the NAACP legal defense fund, is now on the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals bench. As a civil rights lawyer, Carter would be expected to face opposition of southern members of the Senate judiciary committee as did Marshall. High Court, Borough Posts Slated For Dudley, Brown Rudley, who lost in his bid for State Atty. General in the November election, is said to be slated for a seat on the State Supreme Court. The court post is expected to be created by the Legislature shortly. Brown is expected to resign his $22,500 a year post with the housing board to accept the newly created of Manhattan. The new job pays $20,000 annually, but Brown will be in line to move into the borough presidency to vacated by Dudley. Meanwhile, there is speculation that three other politicians are being considered for the vacancy on the housing board, to be created by the resignation of Brown, a former city councilman. They are Herbert Evans, who fed the council vacancy when Brown took the housing job; George Gregory, city civil service commissioner, and Lisle C. Carter, deputy secretary of the U. S. Department of Health, Welfare and Education. Ohio Governor Terms Walker Appointment Major Achievement William O.

MEET THE TOP TAPS Seek Improvements In Welfare Programs Doubling of National Institutes of Health support for research on aging — from $16 million in 1961 to $30.5 million in 1962; an increase of over $110 million a month in social security benefits to retire workers; and enactment of public welfare amendments and drug control legislation, both of which are of special benefit to older people — were among the improvements cited. Older people reaped millions of dollars of benefits in 1962 from legislation passed the previous year, the report states. As a result of the Community Health Services and Facilities Act of 1961, Federal aid for construction of nonprofit nursing homes and other facilities for the aged ill reached an all-time high of $38.5 million in 1962 and will make about 6,000 more beds available to persons needing such care. An additional $5 million went to State health departments for the development of out-of-hospital services for the chronicially ill and aged, or $2 million went to nonprofit organizations for projects and studies to improve such services. Social Security Act amendments in 1961 gave widows a 10 per cent increase in benefits last year, and, by lowering, the possible retirement age for men to 62, brought monthly benefits to over half a million men who were between 62 and 65 yeras of age. Eighty-seven percent of all people whose 65th birthday fell in 1962 will be able to collect social security benefits when they retire. Other gains cited in the report included expansion of federally aided training opportunities for health, welfare and other personnel who serve the elderly; sponsorship of numerous conferences, institutes, and other events by and for older people and expansion of Federal aid for State and local services. The report also lists 5 new films and more than 20 publications, produced by various units of the Department in 1962, on topics of direct concern to older people and those who serve them. Entitled U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare Programs for Senior Citizens in 1962, the published report is available from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington 25, D. C. at 15 cents per copy.

Denman asked a federal court Thursday to reduce the congressional delegations of eight southern Sates Which, he said, deprive Negroes of voting rights. Denman's similar suit last year was ruled improper because it did not name individuals. The new suit in U. S. District Court charges Massachusetts' congressional delegation with failure to take steps to assure southern Negro voting rights and names House Speaker John W. McCorack, Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Leverett Salstonstall, and other Massachusetts congressmen. Demnan said that "substantial numbers" of Negroes have been denied the voting right in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The constitution provides representation according to population, and since Negroes are denied constitutional voting rights, he argued, these Negroes should not be counted in calculating the number of congressmen for the eight states.
