By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York w At the
rate Judge Birdie Amsterdam
chalks ud "firsts," I wouldn't
be surprised to see her the
first woman ever appointed
to the U. 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. "Moth
er always aid, grand opera

Betty White's
Optimistically Labeled
As 'Live' Performance
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York OH Betty
White, a smiling lady who had
her first TV show this season,
Date with the Angels," shot
out from-under her, made her
second debut Wednesday
night. 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.
A sample of the humor:
