Senator Douglas
And Truman Clash
Over Judgeships
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
Douglas (D-Ill) said Tuesday he
will poll the Chicago Bar Associ
ation to determine whether he or
President Truman is right in their
federal judge selections.
Mr. Truman passed over two of
three men recommended by Doug
las for judgeship vacancies in
Illinois. •
Douglas said in a statement he
believes Mr. Truman’s two choices
are “worthy men,” but he added
he feels his own selections have
“superior qualifications.”
Douglas had recommended ap
pointment of William H. King, Jr.,
a former president of the Chicago
Bar Association, and Benjamin
<P. Eputein, a judge of the Cook
(Chicago) County Circuit Court.
However, Mr. Truman nomin
ated Joseph Drucker and Corne
lius J. Harrington to the bench.
Mr. Truman picked Douglas’
third judgeship choice, Joseph
Samuel Perry, but Perry also was
backed by former Democratic Sen
ator Scott Lucas of Illinois and
some politicians have looked on
Perry’s nomination as chiefly a
reward for Lucas.
The rift between Douglas and
Mr. Truman has -been attributed
to these factors:
1. While supporting most ad
ministration proposals, Douglas
has followed an independent
course on others. He has led a
drive aimed at cutting federal
spending.
2. Reports that Douglas may be
come a contender for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination in
1952 if Mr. Truman does not run.
Douglas has denied any such in
tention though it is generally be
lieved he’d like to have a hand
in picking the nominee.

Quartermaster's Shirt Tail;
Hanging Out At Kaesong j
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (£>)—
W. A. Hartney’s shirt tail is hang- j
ing out at the Korean cease-fire j
talks at Kaesong.
Hartney is quartermaster chief j
on the U.S£. Los Angeles, sail-1
ing Korean waters.
He was ordered to produce two j
small admiral’s flags to fly on j
the jeeps of Vice Adm. Joy and
Rear Adm. Burke at Kaesong. The
navy admiral’s flag is blue with
white stars. Hartney found he had
only large sizes in the ship’s
locker.
The regular white bunting ma
terial was too stiff and coarse for
the 10x12 inch flags, so Hartney
whipped out his shirt tail and cut
them out.
The Navy issue material did a
perfect job, too, Hartney said in a
letter to his mother, Mrs. Wm.
C. Hartney.
Adm. Ingalls Resigns
SAN DIEGO, Calif., (JP) — A
former director of naval intelli
gence, Rear Adm. Thomas B. In
glis, -announced today he had re
quested retirement. A source close
to him said that his action was
based upon a reluctance to ac
cept posts which frequently de
mand that senior admirals support
certain politico-military views
with which Admiral Inglis is not
in sympathy.”
The admiral said that was sub
stantially correct, but he declined
to elaborate.
Paper was invented about 100
A.D. and soon came into common
use as a cheap substitute for silk
in scrolls.
Women Who Marry
Notify Social Security,
Keep Records Straight
Employed women should notify
the Federal Social Security Ad
ministration when they marry so
their names can be changed on
the Administration’s record in the
central office, James G. Browne,
manager of the Social Security
Administration advised.
For the woman who marries
and wants to change her name,
the Administration has provided
a special form, which may be ob
tained at the local field office.
She should fill out, attach the
Social Security Card bearing her
maiden name and send or bring
the form to the office.
The office does not assign her
a new number, but issues a new
card bearing her present name
and the number that was origin
ally assigned to her. She then will
have only one Social* Security
Number during her entire life
time. If she had more than one
number, she might * stand to lose
her benefits.
The Administration keeps all in
formation it receives from the
worker strictly confidential.
The worker may obtain further
information from the Juneau Of
fice of The Social Security Ad
ministration located in the Seward
Building or Post Office, Box 1331,
Juneau, Alaska, Browne stated.
