Washington April 18 UPI Representative John M. Houston of Newton Kansas said he nearly lost hope for House passage this session of the McGill bill to add another federal judge for Kansas but Senator George McGill remained optimistic. Houston said Rules Committee chairmen indicated no special rule would be granted and Speaker Burns would not suspend rules for a vote.

One objection could derail passage. Houston noted there is likely objection to the measure.
