S. Supreme Court. But the judge is first again to state firmly that she isn't Interested In the job. "This has been my dream," Said the 56-year-old woman who is the only bne of her sex ever elected to New York's highest judicial post, the State Supreme Court. "I have no aspirations beyond this, I want that understood." : The strikingly handsome Jurist also was the first wom an elected to a New York municipal judgeship, and the first to sit on the city court bench. Her current job, to which she was sworn January 6, is for a 14-year term at a yearly salary of $32,000 which Is just $3,000 under what associate justices of the U. S. Supreme Court earn Holds Many Citations ; What is she like this worn- in named "Birdie," cited by one high-ranking jurist for her extraordinary accomplish ments on the bench," and holder of goodness knows How many citations and awards from her own profes sion. I Well, she wears pearls, Maurice Rentner suits, keeps her deep auburn hair in a hic chignon, is happy her Judicial robes are enveloping enough to hide an occasional stocking run, and is convinced ihat eventually this nation will have a woman president. "I don't know if it will be tn our time," said the lady Judge. "But women have shown they have outstanding ability in a variety of jobs. iet's appraise our resources realistically and utilize worn manpower as well as man-; flower ..." j Z Judge Amsterdam is single, Sas no heart interest, but be lieves "where there Is love, xt does not matter if a -woman ajso works." Lunches at Desk Z She eats sardine sand wiches at her desk because here hasn't been time to get away from it at lunch hour; she's a size 14 "but a 16, un less I watch it," and is a gar dening hobbyist, taking over where the hired help leaves off at her summer home in Lido, on Long Island. - She is an amateur interior decorator who outlined dur ing our interview the new color scheme for her cham bers, currently done in office green. - "Hate it," said the judge firmly. "I'm going to have the walls done in a sort of Champagne shade, the carpet's a pale beige. I think an office should look Jike an office, but be pleasant and relaxing at the same time." Z Judge Amsterdam was born on New York's lowest east aide, the product of Austrian immigrant parents. She was Christened Bella but her par ents dubbed her "Birdie" be cause of her baby chirping sounds. The name stuck. "My parents taught me to aim high," said the judge.

It was a show optimis tically, but inaccurately, lab eled "live." There's something exciting, challenging and let's face it, a little dangerous about a live show," said Miss White as she introduced her new ABC-TV offering. And let's face it, she was right in part. Titles Getting Scarce "The Betty White Show' programmers seem to have run out of titles this year, tut I suppose it's better than calling it, say, "The Liberace Show" did live dangerously In fact, bliss White and her half-hour show threatened to topple into the abyss at num erous moments. Miss White had three guests aboard, end a curious combo they were: Charles Coburn, Cornell Wilde and Sterling Holloway, a trio who bear about as much relation to each other as Harpo Marx, the Archbishop of Canterbury and King Farouk. The program had a theme "How to get along with im possible people" arrd each of the guests starred in a little skit about various levels of the problem. There was one about an elderly crank living in an apartment development, another about a Mr. Fixit and a third about a Hollywood star playing opposite a Broad' way star. Aadievee Shaw Integrity For diversion, there were shots at the end of each skit of the studio audience ap plauding. I suspect they were coached. However, the audi ence did have a certain amount of integrity it re fused to laugh during the skits. I'm with them.
