Jackson. was elevated to the Supreme Court, and Roosevelt’s long delay in ap- pointing his successor has started all sorts of rumors about who would be the next Attorney General, One story put tall, handsome Fed- eral Security Administrator Paul Mc- Nutt in the lead. Another said Roose- velt was seriously considering Blair Bell, prominent Chicago attorney. A third gave the Justice Department to Assistant Attorney General Thur- er. that the next Attorney General will be the man who has been acting Attorney General during the past two months of delay, Solicitor Gen- eral Francis Biddle. | Also you can write it down that Biddle'’s successor as Solicitor Gen- eral will be Charles Fhy, who is| now Assistant Solicitor General.: Both appointments will be announc- ed shortly.
