Courts Tuesday BY PHILIP WARDEN Chicago Tribune Press Service March 11- Congress hopes to put the bill raising Social Security benefits by 10 per cent on the Presi dent's desk by Tuesday night, members said today. BY GLEN ELSASSER Chicago Tribune Press Service WILLIAMSBURG, March 11-President Nixon issued a call today for a genuine reform in the nation's overburdened courts. In an address before a conference of state and federal judges and law enforcement officials, the President suggested several ways to break "the logjam of justice." First, the President said that ways must be found to clear the courts of victimless crimes that stall consideration of serious crimes.

"There are more important matters for highly skilled judges and prosecutors than minor traffic offenses, loitering and The Chicago Housing Authority has been looking at 25 possible sites for 200 units of public housing in suburban areas, C. E. Humphrey, executive director of the CHA, disclosed yesterday. He testified in Federal District Court that no tract or option to purchase has been obtained, and he doesn't know if any of the land could be acquired. Humphrey said that under the law the CHA must have the agreement of local governing bodies before the CHA can build outside the city.

He said the Cook County Housing Authority in staff meetings "indicated positive desire to cooperate" in projects on land in unincorporated areas of President Nixon would be expected to affix his signature to the bill immediately, since the Social Security benefit increase will be a rider on a bill raising the debt limit, members reported. drunkeness," he said.

Next, the President asked that we "open our eyes as the medical profession is doing to the use of paraprofessionals in the law." He explained that these "parajudges" could deal with administrative matters.

The President was applauded in his criticisms of "publicity-seekers" who exploit the courts. With an obvious reference to the county. Humphrey said the Du Page County Housing Authority said it "would think about it." He said the answer in other Chicago area counties was, "No thank you, we're not interested."

He had been considered a moderating influence in the United States civil rights movement.

The President also spoke out strongly against what he sees as the exploitation of the courtroom by the news media, and expressed agreement with Chief Justice Warren Burger's view that live television must be kept out. "The white light of publicity can be a cruel glare, often damaging to the innocent bystander thrust into it, and doubly damaging to the innocent victims of violence," he said.

Balance Must Be Struck "Here again a balance must be struck; the right of a free press must be weighed carefully against an individual's right to privacy. "We all know how the drama of a courtroom often lends itself to exploitation, and whether it is deliberate or inadvertent, such exploitation is something we must all be alert to prevent." The President's remarks recalled an incident last summer when he said that Charles Man- the Chicago 7 conspiracy trial, he said: "Neither the rights of society nor the rights of the individual are being protected when a court tolerates anyone's abuse of the judicial process. When a court becomes a stage, or the center ring of a circus, it ceases to be a court." Praise of Judges Applauded Nixon was applauded again when he praised judges "who insist on order in their courts and who will not be bullied or stampeded by those who hold in contempt all this nation's judicial system stands for." In his recommendations, the President urged that the criminal courts be given more staffs, prisons be made "places that, will correct and educate" and not be "warehouses of the rubbish," and state courts be upgraded. He endorsed a recommendation to be made tomorrow by Burger that a national center for state courts be established. The center, which would be similar to the present Federal Judical Center, would serve as a clearinghouse for ideas on court problems and reforms.

The President's speech provided no new offers of federal money to accomplish the job of court reform.

In expressing his sympathies, Secretary of Defense Melvin R.

Little Time for Sports Young, who lived in New Rochelle, N. formerly enjoyed playing tennis, but a busy seven-day schedule since taking over the Urban League in 1961 had left him with little time for sports or any kind of recreation in recent years.

President Nixon mourned the death, saying he had lost a friend and "black America has lost a gifted and commanding champion of its just cause." Nixon sent a U. S.

"I think the mayor would want us to wait as long as necessary," said Fire Commissioner Robert Quinn, who with Conlisk was one of the few city officials still around when Lynch arrived.
