Ambro (3rd-N.Y.) has drafted and introduced a bill establishing a separate federal judicial district for the counties of Nassau and Suffolk. The legislation would separate the counties from the present Eastern Federal District and create a \Northeastern District\ TO CONFIRM 4M: The Moat Rev. James J. Daly, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Rock- ville Centre, will administer the sacrament of confirmation to approximately 400 youngsters in St. Kilian's Church, Far- mingdale, on Tuesday, May 17. Rev. Donald R. Shane is pastor of St. Kilian's parish. for the bi-county region. A new U.S. courthouse and federal complex would have to be built on Long Island, if the Ambro recommendation is successful. The Eastern District, the third most populous in the nation with more than 7.5-million people, is now headquartered in Brooklyn. It includes Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, in addition to Nassau and Suffolk. According to Ambro, setting up a new district represents a more realistic effort than merely calling for construction of another U.S. federal court building to serve as an annex to the existing facilities in Brooklyn. Judiciary Committee Chair- man Peter Rodino said Ambro's bill will be referred to the Federal Judicial Conference for review and recommendation. The conference is made up of high level federal judges from across the country and is chaired by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Warren Burger. If the idea for a new judicial district is approved by the con- ference, the House Judiciary Committee will then rule on the legislation. Once passed by Congress and enacted into law, planning for construction of the complex would begin. Ambro, a member of the Subcommittee on Buildings and Grounds o? the Public Works Committee, has received assurances from the panel's chairman, Congressman Norman Mineta of California, that the prospectus for construction would be considered soon after creation of the district. One problem that arose in drafting the legislation was a requirement that a specific site be chosen and location of the buildings spelled out in the bill. Since competition for the site selection among several Long Island municipalities would be great, making its location con- troversial, the language in the bill states that the \Court for the Northeastern District shall be held at a suitable site within such district not more than five miles from the boundary of Nassau and Suffolk Counties.\ When a specific site must be chosen, the language will be amended to incorporate a location agreed upon by in- terested officials at the federal and local levels, the respective county bar associations and private citizens. The proposed district will soon contain 3-million people, Ambro [Continued on page 12] Farmingdale's Hardscrabble Fair is, only one week away from this Saturday.

Over 80 booths have been registered thus far for the fair in addition to the artists who will display their works along Main Street.
