 62 STAT.] 80Tr CONG., 2D SESS.-CH. 646-JUNE 25, 1948 (d) A clerk of a district court or his deputy or assistant shall not receive any compensation or emoluments through any office or position to which he is appointed by the court, other than that received as such clerk, deputy or assistant, whether from the United States or from private litigants. This subsection shall not apply to clerks or deputy clerks appointed as United States commissioners pursuant to section 631 of this title. (e) The clerk of each district court shall pay into the Treasury all fees, costs and other moneys collected by him, except naturalization fees listed in section 742 of Title 8 and uncollected fees not required by Act of Congress to be prepaid. He shall make returns thereof to the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts under regulations prescribed by him. § 752. Law clerks and secretaries Each district judge may appoint a secretary and upon certification of necessity by the chief judge of his circuit, a law clerk. The chief judge of a district court having five or more district judges may also appoint an assistant secretary. § 753. Reporters (a) Each district court of the United States, the District Court for the Territory of Alaska, the United States District Court for the District of the Canal Zone, and the District Court of the Virgin Islands shall appoint one or more court reporters. The number of reporters shall be determined by the Judicial Confer- ence of the United States. The qualifications of such reporters shall be determined by standards formulated by the Judicial Conference. Each reporter shall take an oath faithfully to perform the duties of his office. Each such court, with the approval of the Director of the Admin- istrative Office of the United States Courts may appoint additional reporters for temporary service not exceeding three months, when there is more reporting work in the district than can be performed promptly by the authorized number of reporters and the urgency is so great as to render it impracticable to obtain the approval of the Judicial Conference. If any such court and the Judicial Conference are of the opinion that it is in the public interest that the duties of reporter should be combined with those of any other employee of the court, the Judicial Conference may authorize such a combination and fix the salary for the performance of the duties combined. (b) One of the reporters appointed for each such court shall attend at each session of the court and at every other proceeding designated by rule or order of court or by one of the judges, and shall record verbatim by shorthand or by mechanical means: (1) all proceedings in criminal cases had in open court; (2) all proceedings in other cases had in open court unless the parties with the approval of the judge shall specifically agree to the contrary; and (3) such other proceedings as a judge of the court may direct or as may be required by rule or order of court or as may be requested by any party to the proceeding. The reporter shall attach his official certificate to the original short- hand notes or other original records so taken and promptly file them with the clerk who shall preserve them in the public records of the court for not less than ten years. Upon the request of any party to any proceeding which has been so recorded who has agreed to pay the fee therefor, or of a judge of the court, the reporter shall promptly transcribe the original records of the requested parts of the proceedings and attach to the transcript 921 Ante, p. 915. 8U.
