Old age, three score and FIVE,
prompted the resignation from the
Supreme Court of Associate Justice
John Hessin Clarke, who is to tell the
radio audience Monday night why he
supports the Presidents judiciary pro-
poSals.
Clarke, the only living ex-member
of the Supreme Court, wrote President
Harding in 1922, six years after he
was named to the Supreme bench to
succeed Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
who resigned to run for the presi-
dency against Wilson:
Il shall be IS years old on the 18th
day of this month (September). For
long time I have promised what 1
think is my better self that at that
age 1 would free myself a. much as
possible from imperative duties to the
end that I may have time:
ITO read many books which l have
not had time TO read in busy life;
to travel and to serve my neighbors
which cannot serve them while hold

Thus when he was still five years
from the retirement age suggested by
the President, Clarke, whose reputa-
tion as great liberal was all the
stranger because he was a most sue
cessful railroad lawyer, LEI the court,
as he later told Who's Who, ITO give
his entire time to cultivating public
opinion favorable to world peace"
He became president of the League
of Nations Non-Partisan Association
of the United States and trustee of
the World Peace Foundation. His
hope for eternal peace nd for Ameri-
can membership in the League has
been jolted in recent years, however,
and he has been quietly biding his
time in San Diego, Calf. He will be
30 in September.

LONDON, March 20.-Francis
Stephenson, the elderly law clerk who
once looked askance through his gold
trimmed spectacles at Wallis Simpsons
divorce action, hustled back today to
the obscurity of his desk in the teem-
ing financial quarter.
With an expression of regret for his
intervention in the famous case-and
an explanation for his action-he
edged out of the limelight on the ro-
nance of the American-born divorcee
and England's abdicated King.
The road to the marriage OF Mrs.
Simpson and the Duke Of Windsor VS.
cleared yesterday when the gray
haired, -mustached solicitors
clerk withdrew his charge of collusion
and Francis Stephenson's well-or-
dered life regained its course after 4
dramatic deviation
Here's how it all came about:
In the first place, Stephenson ex-
planned, he did not like the divorce
proceedings at Ipswich, October 27.
when Mrs. Simpson was granted a de-
cree nisi in her uncontested suit
against Ernest Aldrich Simpson.
Decided to Act.
In his modest home after work he
read the newspapers and discussed the
days gossip about King Edward VIII
and Mrs. Simpson with his wife and
2o-year- daughter. He decided to
act.
Stepping out Of his Ife's role for the
flrst time, he intervened to halt COM
pletion of the divorce
He was not interested in publicity,
he said. 1T was a thing any person
could do. l made my intervention

the King had become Duke of Windsor
and told the world Il cannot continue
to discharge my duties without the

He reached this decision: If the

.LAWLESSNESSLA
TO COURT ATTACK
Dr.. Walsh Hits Proposal as
Indirect Impeachment in
Series Lecture.

A charge that the administration s
attack on the Supreme Court is
responsible for the widespread Incl
dents of collective lawlessness" and
the growing contempt for courts"
now being reported in every edition
of the public press was made last
night by DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j.,
vice president of Georgetown Univer-
sity and regent of the Foreign Service
School.
He assailed the court plan as "a
device of indirect Impeachment" and
an indictment" of the judicial integ-
rity of its members 1t was the fifth
lecture in series on the controversial
issue which DR.. Walsh is giving in the
Memorial Continental Hall.
The speaker warned: He is an anna
teur psychologist and naive statesman,
be he Democrat or Republican, who
could have hoped for some miracu-
lous stoppage of the floods of human
passion once fundamental respect for
the judiciary was attacked in high
quarters by prominent Government
meritorious but whose language and
methods have proved highly inham-
matory."
Praises Freedom of Courts.
DR.. Walsh dealt last night with the
origin of the Supreme Court. praising
the wise craftsmanship of 1887 that
removed it from external pressure I"
Referring to President Roosevelt's
plan to remake the court, the George
town educator said:
What is now proposed is to elm
mate certain designated justices by
the device of indirect Impeachment
achieved by public denunciation, by
radio, by contumelious innuendo, and
by accmulative indictment. of their
judicial integrity and psychological
inability to render equal justice under
law to the American people.
The results of this dangerous ad-
venture are increasingly apparent. in
the growing contempt for the courts.
The laws of the land are be-
ing openly defed and repeated chal-
lenge to the sovereignty of govern
ment is being hurled from illegally
occupied premises. In one instance
an organized group paraded outside a
court room and frankly asserted its
purpose of intimidating judge in
the performance of his duty
Rivulets Lead to Floods.
DR.. Walsh asserted that the in
cidents of collective laWlessness that
are reported in every edition of your
newspaper, coupled with the solemn
warnings of the Governor of Michi-
gan, demonstrate how rapidly giant
floods are created by the confluence
of smaller rivulets.'
He warned also that it would be
hard for government to "cry halt on
the heels of previous conformation. "
Law is the sovereign tribunal Of the
body polite, he declared, as the hu-
man conscience is the keeper of in
dividual morality.
IF the interpreters of the law have
developed false conscience" he
added, they should be corrected and
educated, not ridiculed or liquidated. y
For that Infection" he said, will
spread until it attacks the very prin-
ciple of constituted authority and
reaches both Legislature and the
Chief Executive"
Because Of Good Friday, there will
be no lecture next week, he an
nounced last night.
