Poverty ents in Vienna, where he was born, and his early days in this country

As a newsboy, he determined and it. was a long hard struggle to get his first sheepskin. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1902 by working his way through the City College of New York. Then he taught school for a year. was clerk in the New York City Tenement House Department and went to Harvard Law School, receiving his LL.B. there in 1906, with highest honors. . When Prof. Frankfurter emerged from Harvard, Henry L. Stimson, later Secretary of War and gover-nor-general of the Philippines, was United States district attorney for New York City, engaged in a “trust-busting” campaign. Puzzled to find able lawyers who would work

ment. to study law,

for the low salaries his budget al-|

lowed, Mr. Stimson appealed to Harvard for recent graduates with little cash and high scholastic standing.

Frankfurter One of Them

Among others, Prof. Frankfurter came to work for him. He was highly successful and wheh Mr. Stimson became Secretary of War, he brought his young aid with him to become a law officer for the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the Interior Department. He joined the Harvard Law School faculty in 1914. During the war, the late Secretary Newton D. Baker called Prof. Frankfurter into his department as chairman of the War Labor Board,

: land his work-brought him into close

and friendly contact with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Prof. Frankfurter also served during this period as:counsel to the President’s Mediation Commission and chairman of the War Labor Policies Board. Returning to Harvard, ‘Prof. Frankfurter began a career which erideared him to liberals. He opposed the execution. of Sacco and Vanzetti, headed a commission which demanded the release of Tom Mooney, and advocated legislation favoring labor and extending Government participation in social fields. : ‘ When the New Deal came into power, Prof. Frankfurter was not a member of the so-called “brain trust,” then dominated by Raymond Moley and Rexford G. Tugwell However, Prof. Frankfurter was offered and declined the post of Soli-citor-General. Roosevelt Sought Lawyers In discussing the rejected: appointment with Prof. Frankfurter, who had similarly declined an appointment to the Massachusetts Supreme Court a few months before, Mr. Roosevelt expressed bewilderment

“There was one point in the speech where I agreed with the sentiment expressed and that is when the President said ‘We are sadder but wiser.” At any rate we are wise to the fact that the New Deal hasn’t worked out. - ; “When he talks about changing a 60 billion dollar national income into an 80 billion dollar’ oné and asks Congress to do it, I think it

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (U. P.)— President Roosevelt proposed to Congress today a two billion dollar national defense’ program ‘of military and semimilitary projects 24 hours ‘after threatening economic

{reprisals against aggressor na-

tions. ; : The amount requested in the ‘President’s annual budget message to Congress almost ' doubled this

year's record peacetime appropria-

ltions for military and naval ex-

penditures, Only in the - World War years of 1917-19 has: the proposed 1940 Army and: Navy spending been exceeded. , Warning that “grave and unsettling developments” abroad have established a “real necessity” for vast expansion of the national defense system, Mr. Roosevell urged immediate appropriation of $1,336,000,000 for strictly military an naval construction. i

More to Be Asked

He said he later would ask for an additional 290 million dollars : for military and naval contract to be spent after June 30, 1940, That sum would complete a 500 million dollar supplemental defense program beyond normal expenditures which he did not explain but was expected to in a special message to Congress next week. He also requested other appropriations amounting to approximately 350 million dollars for such semimilitary projects as the Merchant Marine construction program, and rivers and harbors improvement. Mr. Roosevelt urged early Congressional action on his defense program, echoing parts of -his annual messaged delivered in person yesterday in which he emphasized the time element in preparing for any eventuality and said the United States must be ready on a moment's notice to defend democracy against encroachment by the dictatorships.

They were joined by isolationists who repeated warnings against any attempt to “police the world,” lest this Ciovernment be‘come involved in a foreign war. Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Affairs Cmmittee, however, favored the - use. of financial and economic weapons to enforce American rights abroad, That statement was made simul-

taneously with announcement that}

his committee soe. would open extensive hearings on amendments to the Neutrality Act. ,. “Mere protests—not followed by any action—are not only futile,” Senator Pittman said, “but are actually ‘encouraging to those who are engaged in immoral, illegal acts. . . .”

Taft Criticizes Speech

“Senator Brown (D. Mich.) said,|

“There are many things we can do to show our disapproval of the

international buccaneers now rampant out involving .ourselves in war.” Newly-elected Senator Taft (R.

Hopkin’s Defends Roper in Yacht Use

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (U. PJ) —. Commerce Secretary Hopkins today defended ‘his predecessor, Daniel C. Roper, on charges that he gave private parties at public expense aboard a Government yacht. Secretary Hopkins said Roper, accused by Acting Controller General Richard N. Elliott of Indiana of using the yacht Elea for private trips, had a record “as clean as a hound’s - tooth and above reproach” Mr. Roper described Mr. Elliott’s charges as “half-trut ”’ and ‘“political spleen.” The accusations, he said, are “in effect indistinguishable from a deliberate lie.” :

Railroad Hearings To Begin Jan. 17

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (U.-P)— Chairman Clarence F. Lea (D., Cal), of the House Interstate Commerce Committee, today set Jan. 17 for the beginning of hearings on proposed railroad legislation. He said “postalization” of rates would be considered. : ei Rep. Lea is preparing for early submission to Congress an omnibus rail-aid bill designed. primarily to form a basis for hearings during the present session rather than as a final remedy for the ills of the 22-million-dollar bill transportation in-: dustry. . The bill will not include the postalization feature. :
