42

1

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.

6

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.
