Fletcher Dobyns, prominent Chicago
attorney, is slated for appointment to
the United States Shipping Board.
Mr.. Dobyns, a close friend of United
States Senator Medill Mccormick, was
mentioned for a long time as candi-
date to succeed Charles F. Clyne as
United States district attorney here.
He was formerly assistant United
! States attorney and prosecuted the
| case of John R. Walsh, banker, who
| was sent to the federal prison at At

| attorney under James H. Wilkerson.
Mr.. Goldman, who is known in legaI
circles as a brilliant young lawyer,
made an eviable record during his
term in the district attorneys Office.
