 Cardozo. ;,@ ...,;.''',''' .,,-
 According to his friends, the Justice had been looking forward eagerly to the day when Black took his seat on the bench, be- cause he kiew that the vitriolic tongue of the Alabama ex-Sena- tor at last would be Q match for the acid disposition Of Justice McReynolds of Tennessee,
 Ever since Justice, CardozO
 joined the Supreme Court he
 has been subjected to insults from McReynolds. The Ten
 ncsSean began by opposing Car
 dozo's appointment before it
 was made. Then while Car
 dozo was taking the oath of office, McReynOlds ostenta-
 tiousIy read a newspaper. For . long time after that he did
 not even speak.
 Cardozo, who has led a most cloistered life and is one of the Shyest men in public office, has shrunk from the unconcealed antipathy of McReynolds. In the privacy of his own study, Car dozo can write caustic, even sar- castle, opinions. But he flinches from knock -down-drag-o -out debate.
 Therefore, he was looking Eor-
 ward to the day when the raxOr- tongued Black would take
 his seat on the bench. Black has quick Southern temper,
 Is one of the greatest crOss-
 examiners the Senate has seen
 since the days of Tom Walsh,
 and 1t was certain that he
 would delight in verbal bouts
 with his reactiOnary colleagues
 Now, however, his hand has been weakened and he may not be SO aggressive. Furthermore, Justice Cardozo, although too much of gentleman to say so, may not be enthusiastic about having as his champion one who once joined with the avowed prosecutors of Jews and Catholics. Little Flower of New York
 Sit down with @ paper and pen- ell and try to spell the name "FIOREGLo II. LA QUARDIA" Then you will realize how great Q tribute 1t was to the mayor of New York city that 5000 Demo- crats wrote in his name on the Democratic primary ballot. (Eic was listed only on the Republi- can ballot.)
 Furthermore, in New York state 1t is necessary to write the full name. The last name Is not enough. The 67,000 Democrats spelled 1t i56 different ways, by actual count, but they wrote 1t in.
 La Guardia's first name means ''Llttle FlOwer', and once the mayor, signing over life, said:
 ''Why dld my parents have to call me, of all. names, Fi0relIo? I figure It costs me 100000 votes in every election"
 NOTE--Even the vice president of the United States, Jack Gar ner, who has known Fiorello for some ten years, Still calls him 'Florlo".
 War Signposts
 Here are some significant signs indicating the way official minds are running on the Far East and the danger of war:
 1. Roosevelt has just appoint- ed as his naval aide, Captain Walter B. Woodson, recently re- turned from the Asiatic fleet and up-to-date on latest developments there, Since Roosevelt sees more of his naval and military aides than previous Presidents, this is Q most important assignment.
 2. The President has just asked the War Department for a secret and special survey of ell landing fields in the United States, iii- cludlng those built .withNWPA and EWA Auk1Qos . .
 3. Military Intelligence officers have received instructions to talk, to no one about developments In the Far East. ef t., ~
 NOTE-The Army is least in- volved of the armed services in the Far Eastern mess, also would be least involved fin case the United States was dragged in.
