STONE IS BELIEVED - UNLIKELY TO QuIT Report He Is to Be Attorney General Is Regarded as Cloakroom Gossip. BY MARK SULLIVAN. The suggestion, widely published and seriously credited in the Senate cloak- room, that Associate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone of the Supreme Court would resign and become Attorney General in Mr. Hoover's cabinet belongs decidedly among the 100 cabinet guesses that are wide of the mark, rather than among the 10 or less that have ele- ments of probability. The suggestion arose contemporane- ously with Justice Stone's recent visit | to Florida to fish with Mr. Hoover. The fact is Justice Stone has been one of Mr. Hoover's fishing companions on several trips in past years without giv- ing rise to rumors about his making any change in career. Few Have Left Supreme Court. In the entire history of the Supreme Court, according to memory and cur- sory survey of the records, only four men have left the court for another Government or party function. In 1916, Charles E. Hughes left the court upon being nominated for President by the Republican convention. In 1887, David Davis, who had been appointed to the court by Lincoln, left it to run success- fully for the United States Senate. It! was commonly supposed Davis had in mind a possibility of being later nomi- nated for the presidency. Previous to these two cases, and at a time when conditions were utterly different, the only other two cases occurred in the original court as appointed by George ‘Washington. In 1791, John Rutledge resigned to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. In 1795, John Jay resigned to become Gov- ernor of New York. The present suggestion about Justice Stone is coupled with an engenious sur- mise that after serving as Attorney General for a while, he would be re- appointed to the court by Mr. Hoover. If there were any probability in the one suggestion, there would be no neces- sary improbability in the second. There is precedent for that also. John Rut- ledge was appointed by George Wash- ington to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, b ed in 1791 to become chief justice of South Carolina, and then, in 1795, was recalled by Washington to be Chief Justice of the United States. Hughes' Reappointment Possible. To look upon the present or future, for example, it would suprise no one, and, on the contrary, would please many, if ex-Justice Hughes should some time be reappointed to the court. The Supreme Court is a kind of priesthood. The justices hold office for life, with the privilege of retirement at 70. Quite a number of justices have re- tired for reasons of health. Many jus- tices have retired for the greater ease of private life, or for various private reasons. One of the greatest justices in the court’s history, Joseph Story, re- tired to give all his time to teaching in the Harvard Law School. Justice John H. Clarke, who was appointed from Ohio by President Wilson in 1916, re- tired in 1922, largely to have time for his strong wish to cultivate public opinion favorable to world peace. With the four exceptions mentioned, however, no one has left the court for another Government or party office. ‘When Mr. Hoover's administration is ended, its success will be judged by his- tory quite as much or more by the Supreme Court, as it will be after he his filled the vacancies that will oceur, as by his cabinet. With respect to Justice Stone, it is appropriate to add that he is one of v ablest men in American public life today. In the judgment of many he is the most valuable recruit brought to public service in Washington since the World War. Credit for him is due to President Coolidge, who has known him since Amherst days, when Mr. Coolidge was '95 and Justice Stone was |'94. President Coolidge first appointed him Attorney General in the emergency created by the departure of H. M. Daugherty in 1924. After Mr. Stone had served about a year, Mr. Coolidge appointed him to the Supreme Court, where he is reasonably certain to re- main, (Copyright, 1929.) ZIONIST LEADER SPEAKS.

Holden Chester Richardson of the Naval Construction Corgu. pioneer aviator and designer of the hull of the famous NC transatlantic fiying boats and developer of airplane catapults, will retire from the service early in April, following 30 years of active serv- ice. This announcement was made yes- terday afternoon at the Navy Depart- ment with the publication of his orders. ‘While Capt. Richardson has not dis- closed his plans for the future, there is authority for the statement that he has received several offers from airplane firms over the country. For his services to aviation the department bestowed upon him the Navy Cross. Capt. Richardson has been in aviation since 1912 and has the distinction of holding Navy aviation license No. 13. He is at present chief of the design division of the Bureau of Naval Aero- nautics. Richardson Field is named in his honor in his home town of Shamo- kin, Pa., where he was born on Decem- ber 7, 1878, and he flew last year to aid in dedicating it. He was one of the first men to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a seaplane, and since his graduation from the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1901 he has been interested in air- craft. Early in his career he experi- mented with gliders. Designed Naval Seaplane. ‘Many of Capt. Richardson's experi- ments were conducted in Washington, for here he rendered valuable assist- ance in hydroplane tests at the Navy Yard, and his work at the model basin at the Navy Yard laid the foundation for the development of modern airplane floats and hulls, in which work considered one of the foremost authori- tles, in this country and abroad. In 1915 he designed the first naval sea- plane in the Washington Navy Yard and later flew it. ‘This veteran naval aviator was a pilot on the transatlantic flight aboard the NC-3. In 1920-1924 he was chief engi- neer at the naval aircraft factory at HEADQUARTERS FOR HAPPINESS SPECIAL 11b. chocolatecovered mp-rmhl dainties—70¢ assorted lates— 59¢ Total value . . $1.29 BTAR, WASHINGTON, PIONEER NAVAL AIR MAN IN APRIL CAPT.
