The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-27

Latest account has Attorney General Homer Cummings and Frank Murphy, U. s. high com missioner for the Philippines, ma1euvering for the place.
 Murphy has written a close friend ipdicating that he had hopes Of taking Farley's post. Word of, this got to Cummings's ear. He wrote a letter to .Mur- plly., the substance of which was:
 As. you know, I was origin ally slsted for the Philippine Islands. Circumstances inter-. vened and Twas made attorney general ! would like to make . change now and have in mind seeking the place soon to- De vacated by Jim Farley. I wonder if you would object to my recommending your nane tp the president as my suc- cessOr?
 Cummings's plan is not un- likely possibility. There Is much in its favor. It would enable the president to eliminate him from the justice department - where Cummings has fared sadly without being forced to take the drastic step of busting him from the cabinet,
 Murphy, young, ambitious, and, with an element of crusading fervor, would be a marked New Deal improvement as attorney general. In addition there is the fact that he is a Catholic. THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE WANTS TO RETAIN ONE CATHOLIC IN HIS OFFICIAL FAMILY. AND WITH FARLEYS DEPARTURE THERE WILL BE NONE.
