Woman Confirmed As Judge
Constance Baker Motley of New York City was confirmed by the Senate as a US district judge. She appears to be the first Negro woman named to the federal bench, with a voice vote after Eastland read testimony from a yet unidentified woman claiming Motley was active in the Young Communist League in 1942 and 1943. New York senators Javits and Kennedy challenged the testimony as the Judiciary Committee, led by Eastland, had delayed action since Johnson nominated Motley last January.
