entirely feasible, possible, and desirable to make
|
2
|
arrangement for chief judge or administrative officer
|
3
|
to arrange for them to continue serving, but no longer
|
4
|
than in the opinion of the presiding judge they can
|
5
|
render useful service. That is the way it ought to be.

THE CHAIRMAN: You say 70 is the proper age,
|
7
|
or perhaps with a change in medical standard and longer
|
8
|
lives, that the age night be increased?
|
9
|
MR. WINTERS: Well, I suppose perhaps it
|
10
|
could be, but with proper provision for assignment of
|
11
|
retired judges to special service. I do not think that
|
12
|
is too important a point. I think 70 is all right.
|
13
|
MR. MARTINEAU: Do you think that age ought
|
14
|
to be constitutionally fixed?
|
15
|
MR. WINTERS: Oh, maybe not. I tend to shy
|
16
|
away from putting any specifics in constitutions, but
|
17
|
that is so universal and standard, I do not think it
|
18
|
would do any harm to put that in.
|
19
|
MRS. BOTHE: We were concerned if it were not
|
20
|
in the constitution, the legislature would perennially
|
21
|
change the age to accommodate the judges.
