STONE LIKELY CHOICE
BE CHIEF JUSTICE I
ROOSEVELT WINS
—
By Rodney Dutcher
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, D. C. May 1
—Every so often the nation
has to have a new chief jus
tice of the United States Su
preme Court. The next one,
many insiders believe, will
be Justice Harlan Fiske
Stone.
Stone is the youngest and
most vigorous member of
the court’s liberal bloc. His
personality and his forceful
dissenting opinions have
made him a candidate for
the mantle of the beloved
late Oliver Wendell Holm
es.
Holmes never became
chief justice, but Stone is
only 63 and some of those
who have Roosevelt’s con
fidence are sure the Presi
dent will elevate him to
that post if he ever gets the
chance.
Chief Justice Charles Ev
ans Hughes is 74, beyond
the retirement age and not
very happy. Justice Louis
D. Brandeis, although in
spiritual kinship with the
New Deal, is 79, and hardly
likely to succeed Holmes if
it falls to Roosevelt to make
a choice of his successor.
Outstanding among the
many Stone distinctions:
His sheer physical stren
gth and energy match thosL
of Justice Owen J. Roberts
on the conservative side.
He is willing to take on the
work of writing the most
I
important dissents and to
lead in the hot infighting at|
court conferences which
precede decisions.
Stone is not in sympathy
with much of the New Deal.
Appointed by Coolidge and
a close personal friend of
Herbert Hoover, he is a re
publican. But he is a fight
ing champion for a liberal
interpretation of the con
stitution and the rights of
congress to legislate as ag
ainst opinions influenced by
personal, political, or eco
nomic bias.
If Hoover were to be re
elected, Stone undoubtedly
return to his old place in
the Hoover, “medicine ball
cabinet.”
For a supreme court jus
tice, Stone’s background is
unusually diversified. He
started out as a teacher of
law and got into the habit
of judging without the serv
ice in corporation law to
which most justices have
been largely confined.
He left his post as dean
of Columbia university law
school to join the big firm
of Sullivan & Cromwell,
where he had a chance to
learn the tricks of Wall St.
Finally he served as attor
ney general in the cabinet.
Personally, Stone prob
„ ^ly is the court’s most
popular member. He “gets
around” more than any oth
er justice and has a strong
sense of humor. ♦

Man Held in Lindbergh
Case Indentilies Articles
In Brooklyn Home
(By The Associated Press)
Brooklyn, April — Paul
H. Wendel, told representa
tives of District Attorney
William F. Geoghan today
that he identified the home
of Harry Bleefield of Brook
lyn as the place in which he
was held captive and alleg
edly tortured to induce him
to sign a confession in the
Lindbergh case.
Retracing the route foll
owed in company with two
men who abducted him,
the former New Jersey at
torney traversed a number
of streets before arriving at
the Bleefield residence.
He said that he recogniz
ed a number of articles in
the house after an examin
ation of the place.
More than a week ago it
was brought out that a New
Jersey state car, assigned to
an inspector for th' depart
ment of motor vehicles,
was used by the captors of
Wendel who transported
him from the home of Ellis
H. Parker, New Jersey de
fective, who was investigat
;ing the Lindbergh case.
Hush On Air Crash
Probe Draws Facts
Front in Inquiry
A legend is still floating
around to the effect that
the crash of an American
Airlines plane in Arkansas,
which killed 17 persons, re
suited when a dope fiend,
who had taken out heavy
insurance just before the
flight, suddenly murdered
the pilot.
Although this fantastic
version wasn’t mentioned
in the bureau of air com
merce’s report, which offi
dally declared the tragedy
a mystery, the report con
spicuously left out certain
evidence which aided the
build-up of the theory, and
orders have been issued re
quiring that pilot compart
ments be locked and pass
engers barred therefrom.
Several phials of morph
ine were found in the wreck
age. A hole which some
thought probably had been
made by a bullet fired in
side the plane was also dis
covered in a piece of metal.
The wreckage also, turned
up an unidentified revolver.
Then there was the afore
mentioned rumor that a
passenger had been finan-j
dally embarrassed and had
taken out a large amount of
insurance.
The official report, al
though admitting the poss
ibility among others of an
interference with the pilot,
neither explained nor men
tioned any of these discov
eries. The rigid depart
ment of commerce censor
ship has resisted efforts to
obtain light on the results
of the investigation.
