WASHINGTON, Aug. U. (AP) A senate judiciary sub-committee swiftly approved today the nomination of Senator Hugo Black (D., Ala. X, to the supreme court.

The judiciary subcommittee of six members voted to report Itlack's nomination favorably to the full committee after rejecting a move by Senator Austin (It.. Vl.), to hold up action pending study of legal questions involved. All members of the subcommit tee except Austin voted for ap proval of the nomination and re jection of the New Knglander's proposal for delay. Eligibility Question Austin questioned Itlack's eligi bility under the recent act of con gress providing for retirement of supreme court justices at full pay.

It was to answer these thai the president made known the opin ion expressed to him informally by the attorney-general.

The presidents original court hill, which would have authorized him to name as many as six addi tional justices, was shelved by the senate last month. No Hearing Requested Chairman Neely D.. W.
