to show cause why he should be
permitted to sit with the tribu

grant or deny the motion will
probably be announced at next
Monday’s proceedings.
With his brief, Attorney Levitt
merely arose and said he submit
ted the motion asking permission
to file a petition to challenge Mr
Black's appointment, saying he
didn’t read the papers. “You may
submit the papers”, Chief Justice
Hughes told him.
Attorney Levitt acted a few
minutes after Justice Black took
his seat on the high bench. The
Justice whose appointment by
President Roosevelt, aroused a
storm off controversy over whe
ther he has been or still is con
nected with the Ku Klux Klan

Justices of the Supreme Court
just after the Noon hour.

Charles Buck Jones, plans to

“Got to have a blizzard; the

Jones, who did his first soloing
