High Government officials and former colleagues praised Mr. Justice Brandeis as one of the great men of American law who worked a lifetime to enlarge common man’s freedom.

In addition to Mrs. Brandeis were his two daughters, Mrs. Jacob Gilbert of New York and Mrs. Paul Raushenbush of Madison, Wis. The Justice also is survived by several grandchildren. Je ‘Justice Brandeis’ death closes a long career of public service which began as he was a young crusading lawyer in Boston.

. From Minority to Majority

The early part of his term as a supreme court justice was marked by his famous dissents with his close and great friend, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Not until after Holmes’ retirement and death and some 15 years after Brandeis became a justice did the tide of judicial opinion

change. ‘During the last three years of his service, 1936 to 1939, Mr. Justice Brandeis found himself among the majority and his dissenting opinions the guiding doctrine of the Supreme Court. He was born Nov. 13, 1856, in Louisville, Ky., just eight years after his parents left Bohemia during a revolution. He studied in the Louisville public schools and attended the university there. In 1872 he was taken to Germany where he studied at the Annen Real Schule, Dresden.

Most of the anecdotes about Mr. Brandeis concern Mr. Holmes, They lived near each other, worked together and took daily walks together. One of the more famous anecdotes dealt with an attempt by Justice Brandeis to get Mr. Holmes to read contemporary studies of social and economic problems instead of his usual literary fare, which also included original Greek: works. The story goes that Justice Holmes finally gave in to Mr. Brandeis’ plea and asked him to send over the latest social and economic treatises. A big case arrived at Mr. Holmes’, including such tomes as “Studies on Effect of the Eight-Hour Day” and “Report on the Textile Industry.” Mr. Holmes is said to have read one for a while, placed it aside and
