Judgeship An additional federal judge for the southern District of Mississippi would be provided in legislation introduced by Senator James 0. Eastland. The legislation, already approved by the White House and the Justice Department, provides for a number of additional U. S. district and court of appeals judges throughout the na- tion. Eastland predicted the bill would be passed early this session. Similar legislation has been previously pass- ed, but failed to become law because of differences in senate and house versions. The Mississippi senator pro- posed the additions to the federal judiciary as chairman of the Senate judiciary committee. Forrest Cooper (Indianola) was named chairman of the executive Committee of the Baptist Orphanage. Herman Dean (Canton) and Paul Nunnery Hollandale) are members of the executive committee.

The required minimum of three thousand enrollments was reached on December 17, just 30 days after the plan was offered! By the end of December well over 3,400 applications had been received and the underwriter, the New York Life Insurance Co., announced it was putting the plan officially in force as of the first day of 1957. Seldom has a group insurance pro- gram offered by a professional asso- ciation received such an immediate, universal acceptance. Each enrollee under the new plan receives $5,000 of insurance. Thus, the plan went into effect with a minimum of $15 million of insurance in force. This brings to more than $55 million the insurance protection established for ABA mem- bers under the two group life plans instituted within the last two years. The first plan was for lawyers up to age 56. Enrollments are continuing under both programs. No medical examina- tion is required under either, the only requirement being a brief statement of health. Inquires should be address- ed to: American Bar Group Life Plans, 1155 East 60th Street, Chicago 37, Illinois. -0 Stage Set For Busy Mid-Year Meeting of ABA House Of Delegates This year's Mid-year meeting of the House of Delegates in Chicago Febru- ary 18-19, coinciding as it does with the beginning of a new session of Congress, is expected to be watched with unusual interest by lawyers.
