Young, Liberal Justice By HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 22 New Deal lawyers are looking for President Roosevelt to appoint “another Cardozo” to the Supreme Court A young man, with a profound knowledge of the law and a philosophy in the great tradition of the chair held by Justices Holmes and Cardozo is their hope Benjamin V. Cohen of Indiana, a state which has never had a Supreme Court justice, is one possibility if President Roosevelt follows such advice. (Retired Justice Willis Van Devanter, born in Indiana, was ap pointed from Wyoming.) Mr. Cohen, who will be 44 in September, has been one of the Presi dent's chief legal advisers for several vears, in co-operation with Thomas Corcoran, who the “contact man” of this famous pair, The se curities. stock market and holding company acts, of which he of the principal authors attacks in the

Claude M Baker is to become president of the International | Typographical Union as soon as the | organization's executive council meets, it was announced at international headquarters here today following the death of Charles P. Howard at Colorado Springs, Colo. Defeated for re-election by | Baker in May, Mr. Howard been for many vears a colorful and prominent figure in the powerful | union, A champion of industrial unionism, his secretaryship in the C. I | O. injected that issue into his unsuccessful campaign for re-election to the presidency this spring. He had served 14 years as president of the I. T. U,, which has been a stronghold of the American Federation of Labor since the days of Samuel Gompers, At that time, Mr. Howard served as chairman of a committee which made a study of indnstrial unionism Although outvoted by the committee, Mr. Howard made a lengthy report on the defeated plan. He later joined Mr formation of the C. 1. O, Mr. Howard lived at 2715 N. Me« ridian St. near international union headquarters. After beginning his career as a printer, he worked in Washington and Oregon until 1918, when Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson called him to serve in the U. S. Labor Department. He resigned from Government service in 1919 to manage printing | establishments of a railroad organization affiliated with the A. F of L. In May, 1922, he was elected I. 'T. U. vice president and became president in 1923 on the death of John MeParland, then president. Running for re-election this vear on a Progressive ticket, he polled 23.344 voles to 37.229 for Mr. Baker incumbent first vice president and A. F. of L. supporter,

WASHINGTON, July 22 (U. P) { Chairman John LL. Lewis of the C. I.

Traffic Death Ratio ~ | Second Highest in U. S.
Forty-five per cent of Indiana’s | accidental deaths during 1937 were | caused by motor vehicle crashes, | the second highest percentage In| United States, the National Safety Council reported today. California alone topped the Hoosier state in the ratio of auto fatal- | ities to total accidental deaths. Nevada tied with Indiana. State Safety Director Don Stiver | “the high percent- | age will not be shown this year.” He reported that in the first five | months of 1938 state traffic fatalities | were reduced 25 per cent. He said he believed the sharp reduction was the result of a combination of new legislation, increased enforcement and public education. The Safety Council's report showed New Mexico to be third in | the list.
1430 Auto Fatalities
Of the 3176 persons killed accidentally in Indiana during 1937, 1430 were auto victims, California’s | total accident toll of 5930 persons | included 2844 who died as a result of traffic injuries. Except for California, represented by figures for 11 months, the Council's report cov- | ered the entire year of 1937. Nevada, tied with Indiana on a percentage basis, had only 139 deaths by accident, 62 of them in traffic. New Mexico. in third place, had an accident death total of 518, of which 218 were due to auto accidents. Indianapolis’ year-old drive to reduce traffic fatalities was marked by a drop from 114 deaths in 1936 to 04 last vear, according to the Council's report. Last year there were 253 deaths for each 100,000 population and 7.4 fatalities for each 100 million vehicle miles driven in the city. Hope for an even better showing for Indianapolis in 1938 was held by Lieut. Lawrence McCarty, Police Accident Prevention Bureau head, who pointed out that only 40 per- | sons have been killed during the first six months of this year, compared with 60 for the same 1937 period. Citing Indiana’s high rate of auto killings compared to all accidental deaths, the Council reported that public fatalities (nontraffic) took 500 lives, or 16 per cent of the to- | tal; home deaths, 997, or 31 per cent, and occupational deaths, 249, or 8 per cent. In the national comparison, Indiana ranked farther down the list death classifications except vehicle Indiana traffic deaths increased from 1349 in 1936 to 1430 last vear, according to the Council. The 1937 rate was 41.2 deaths to each 100,000 population, and 193 deaths for each 100 million vehicle miles
