Useful information was developed relating to problems peculiar to districts with high concentrations of people and hence heavy caseloads. In March. a conference was held for district courts having jurisdiction along the Mexican border. The conference was attended by judges. U.S. attorneys. and probation officers. Problems peculiar to this area were discussed. such as narcotic prosecutions and wetback and immigration problems. as well as State prisoner applications and omnibus hearing techniques. Criminal cases were also discussed at a conference in Washington in April attended by judges from the five districts having the heaviest criminal caseloads. Problems of expedition of criminal cases. use of the omnibus hearing. bail matters. parole and probation surveillance. and other topics were considered.
