Douglas Opposes Judge Appointees I ’ Fights President's • Illinois Nominees Washington, . July 16. —(UP)— Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D., 111., called today for an unprecedented bar association poll to choose between president Truman’s nopiinations to the two federal judgeships in northern Illinois, posts for which Douglas had recommended other njen. Douglas said in a statement that he was deferred a decision on how th v&te on confirming the nominations of judge Clprnelius J. Harrington and municipal judge Joseph J. Drucker, named: by Mr. Truman to the federal bengh last Friday, over Douglas’ recommendations of William H. King, Jr., and judge Benjamin P. Epstein. J Douglas asked the Chicago and Cook county bar ' associations to poll their memberships to determine whether Mr. Truman’s slate or his own represents the best possible selections. t I Douglas observed that historically the consent of the in whose a federal judgeship appointment falls is necessary blefore the senate confirms the appointment and that a senator’s objection is usually sufficient ground for refusing confirmation. "I am not interested in defending my dignity as a senator nor assertings my power,” Douglas said. “I have no. desire to become engaged in a struggle with the president, for whom 1 have the kindliest feelings and who is bearing a heavy load.” •‘ 1 I While terming Harrington and Drucker "worthy men,” Douglas said he regarded King and Epstein as men of “superior qualifications.” Therefore, Douglas said be was asking Cushman Bissell, president of the Chicago bar, and the Cook county association, as well, to conduct a secret and speedy poll, and he urged that lawyers subordinate politics in voting. However. Douglas in \ his statement pointed out that his choices tor the bench had been supported by Illinois Democratic national committeeman Jacob M. Arvey, and of the Cook county Democratic committee. ; J Douglas declared that he was not advocating selection of federal judges by the bar because tlpat is the responsibility of the president and the senate. "But in this instance, wherekhere is an honest conflict of the advice of a responsible professional body\ would be most valuable," Douglas said. He said that if the lawyers voted against his choices and in favor of the president’s, it would weigh "very heavily” in determining his future action. On the other hand, Douglas\ said, if his slate gets the nod. he would be strengthened “in my resolution." And he added that such an outcome would weigh heavily in the minds of his senate colleagues.

McNeal, 58,. who gave a Detroit address, was hunted down near Gary yesterday through the use of airplane and a walkie - talkie radio. He had ducked Into the woods when a,garageman recognized him as the person who “passed a bum.check on me a year ago,” Thomas Brady, an employe at a filling station at Ogden Dunes, recognized McNeal when tbe driver 4ith whom McNeal was hitch-hiking a ride pulled in for gas. Brady and the driver moved to seize McNeal. They ran for fover when McNeal reached for what they believed was a gun In a holster. "You asked kor it and Pm going to give It to yoti,” Brady quoted McNeal as saying. Brady called state police when McNeal ran Into the woods. State police set up a six-car roadblock and trooper Dwight Nash patroled the area in a light plane. Guided by Nash's walkie-talkie radio directions, fellow troopers Delyie Masterson and Lawrence Mirier intercepted McNeal as he walked along railroad tracks. They said McNeal, who was not armed, had picked up pieces of scrap iron and several railroad bolts and tried to pass himself off as a section worker. He was turned over to Marshall county authorities here, where bad check Warrants had been issued against him. ‘ . State police officials at the Dunes Park post said McNeal admitted passing frudulent checks “in nearly every state of [the union and in most counties across northern Indiana.” Trpoperg sgid he admitted passing (hree of them in Gary only last week. ‘ State police also said McNeal was sought by a U.S. marshal at Grand Rlpids, Mich., on charges of altering postal money orders and that the FBI was interested in questioning him about certain “federal offenses.”
