Francis Biddle

WASHINGTON, June 13 (U.P). i~Solicitor General Francis Biddle ‘was believed to be President Roose,velt’s choice for Attorney General ‘to succeed Robert H..Jackson, who ++ has been nominated to the Supreme . Court. Nomination of a new BNormey «General, however, probably will be ‘delayed at least until the Senate ‘has acted upon Mr. Jackson’s nomiination. In the Senate it was pre ‘dicted that his nomination and the selevation of Harlan Fiske Stone to ‘Lthe chief justiceship would be apsproved quickly and probably with‘out opposition. Mr. Justice Stone .replaces Charles Evans Hughes Whose retirement is effective July 1. . The third’ Supreme Court” nomi- : pation sent to the Senate yesterday < —that of Senator James F. Byrnes :(D. 8. C)—was confirmed within 120 minutes of its receipt. + Chairman Frederick VanNuys (D. :Ind) of the Senate Judiciary Com- * mittee named Senator Pat McCuarran (D. Nev.) head of the group to : consider Justice Stone’s nomination, . &n app d Senator Carl A. i Ha . M.) head of a group to o cosine Mr. Jackson's.

Hinted for U. S. Attorney, Generalship

“I doubt whether there will be any opposition at all to the nominations,” Senator VanNuys - said. “There will be none on my part.” Some ‘Senators : interpreted Mr. Roosevelt’s elevation = of . Justice|

Stone, a Republican appointee who has served on the Court since 1925,

as being in-line with his: effort: to}

promote national unity and to “remove the sting of partisanship” in two more New Deal appointments to a court where Roosevelt-hamed members now , predominate.

Some Senators refused comment on the nominations of ‘Justice Stone and Mr. Jackson, but none could be. found who planned to oppose them. Officials had little doubt that Mr. Roosevelt would: appoint Mr. Biddle when Mr. Jackson assumes his new duties, © But .there was some purely speculative talk the position might go ‘to Chairman James Lawrence Fly of the Federal Communitions Commission or Assistant rey. General Thurman Arnold. Should Mr, Biddle receive the cabinet appointment, his most probable successor, as Solicitor General would . be his present assistant,

Strife After Call. From ' Teamsters’ Chief: (Continued from Page One) raids by Left-Wing labor groups, in

an issue, ‘Ii was Ir that ‘the - center where the Teamsters Local No. 544 recently seceded from the A. F. of L. and applied for a charter in the Congress of Industrial Organizations. “Leaders of this local had been'tried by A. F. of L. officials on charges of extreme Left-Wing radicalism.

Mr. Roosevelt's. intervention in this dase may develop into'a turn-

Murray and conservative labor leaders to “purge” their organizations of radicals. His. statement appeared timed to force a showdown on the question now before C. I. O. leaders as to whether the seceding Minneapolis local will be granted a C. 1 O. charter.

Murray. Won't Comment

Mr. Tobin has brought his powerful -feamsters union into positive and aggressive support of Mr. Rooseevlt in the emergency. The President, on 'June 5, personally made public a letter from Mr. Tobin, in which he declared “we again repeat that we hereby pledge ourselves and solemnly promise to follow a your. a ates in this dark and fateful hour . . .'and we fi er —We and our people . . . are prepared to make any sacrifice demanded of us. * . n . 3 Mr. Murray, meantime, declined to ‘comment on the report that he had sanctioned: an -anti-radical drive, but it was pointed out that

he had said in a statement to. all

C. I. O. national and international officers that he will “oppose the subversive work of any group.” ‘First. indications of & C. I. O. “purge” came from Richard T. Frankensteen, chief of the aviation division of the C. I. O.’s United Automobile Workers. He had blamed Communists for the strike at North American gviation company’s plant at Inglewood, Cal, last week, and had suspended U. A. W.-C. 1. O. lo-

, | cal officials and national organizers

supporting the strike. Mr. Murray had two of his union leaders called before a C. I. O. “trial board” here yesterday. They

‘ |lwere O. M. Orton, leader of the

“unauthorized” strike of 12,000 Washington State C. I. O. lumbermen, who has defied the order of ithe National Defense Mediation Board to submit its settlement proposal to the workers, and .Joseph Curran, president of the C. I. Q. National Maritime Union which has been charged with Communism,

Oppose Draft Deferment

Reports of: a C. I. O. “purge” coincide with word from a high Administration official that :the Government seeks to “blacklist” leaders of “wildcat” strikes.in defense -in{dustries and has been conferring with “loyal” ©. 1.0..and A: PF. of L. leaders on such a plan. -i8 “co-operating. The Ho Military Affairs Committee leaders ‘are seeking to eliminate from a bill giving the President authority to commandeer defense plants, a provision for lowering the draft age limit to. 27. They econtend that it would weaken the Government’s threat to revoke the occu ‘draft deferment of workers: who' strike in defense industry,

low Elliston on down to the mouth, is still quite a bit under flood stage and unlikely to reach -it. The Wabash was falling at Terre Haute today, and was so far below flood stage there was little likelihood of flooding. At Evansville, the Ohio stood at ATT feet: this morning—17.3 feet under flood stage—and had risen only a third of a foot in 24 hours.

White River Falling

At ‘Mt. Carmel, on the Wabash below . the mouth ‘of the White River, the water ‘was. 8. feet under stage. At Hazleton, the lowest station on the White River, the river stood at 12.1 feet this morning, a rise ‘of 2.7 feet in the last 24 hours but more than 3 feet under flood stage. At Edwardspert, in Knox County, the west fork of the White River was at 13.3 feet this morning, and was reported falling. The stage reported was 1.6 feet over flood stage for the sandflats and lowlands, Mr. Armingfon' said, but nearly 2 feet under the normal flood stage of 15 feet—the stage

where property damage might result. .

Practically all the State patronage now available for Republicans is controlled by Mr. Tucker and Mr. McDaniels. The Secretary of State, acting under a 1937 law, took over the license bureau when the McNutt Act was repealed. He named Mr. McDaniel his “personal deputy” in

ing any more of the jobs pending outcome of the court test. Whichever. way the decision goes, he is expected to gain control of the 130 lucrative branch offices throughout the State. They will be passed

zation. Coalition Is Possible

The Tucker | group, however, will encounter some stiff opposition, with a possible coalition of other factions to head it off. Several candidates are being talked up in various quarters. They include Don Irwin of Frankfort, former state chairman; E. Clark Springer of Butler, who reportedly has the support of several upstate leaders; Rep. Frank Millis of Campbellsburg, leader of the 1941 House and State Senator William E. Jenner's campaign manager in the latter's. unsuccessful quest for the 1940 Governor nomination; Walter Helmke, chairman of the biggest Republican stronghold, Allen County, and James Bradford, Machi County chairman, who re was favored by the Elmer (Doc) Sherwood group but is not regarded as a serious contender now. Their supporters may unite behind still another candidate, it is reported. Mr. Bobbitt’s lieutenants, meanwhile, insist that no: action to replace the present chairman can be taken until next year. They point to a two-year tenure rule passed by the State Committee last year in an effort to hold down factional fights. But his foes say that since the committee made the rule, it also can break it. ‘They say a commit-
