Open: Wilder Urges Local
Man for Postmaster


From two sources develop indica-
tions that Federal Judge Ssnfcrd b.
Dole, the veteran jurist OF all Hawaii
Is to be finally retired to make way
for Democrat
Adyices which have reached Hawaii
from Washington BY cable indicate
that Congressmen and other officials
are getting together in favor OF the
bill under which Judge Dole wculd be
pensioned when he retires, as is done
in the states. This bill was introduced
by Delegate Kalanianaole at the
request of Attorney A. A. Wilder
on December 6, and is a gen.
eraI measure providing that any
u. s. Judge resigning at the age of 20
after having held his commission for
10 years. shah receive the same sal-
airy as given him before retirement.
and there is a specific provision to.
make this applicable to the Hawaiian
federal judge.
It is rather believed here that the
department of Justice will make no
move formally to relieve Judge Dole
until this LEGISLATION is perfected. The
fact that IL is being favored eonviuces
some local observers thst the depart
ment has no intention of recommend
ing the judge for resnpointment. pure
ly on account of political reasons.
That SUCH. indeed. is the attitude
OF the department is shown by special.

McCarn's dismissal.l
The postmastership is not to be
sneezed at in these times of stress
and economy. Officials at the postof-
fee department here declare that
Postmaster Young has signified his in
tention of retiring early newt year
The reason is the poor health OF his
wife, who Is now compelled to live on
the mainland
As Judge Wilder says. with great
emphasis, this place of all others
should 20 to a local citizen of Homo
lulu and he should be Democrat He
is now trying to impress this fact on
the postal authorities and make Ger.
tain that the postmastership remains
at home.

Former Assistant District Attorney
