On Court Appointment
a tha ESitnr ~ The Sta,

70 me EGltor OF i ne star.
read with astonishment an article in
your Sunday paper in which was quoted
by name as having expressed sentiments
regarding the possible appointment of
woman to the vacant seat on the Su-
preme Court.
I have never given a statement for
publication on this subject. Several
weeks ago this young woman came into
the library of the National Woman's
Party, where I was doing some research
work, and engaged number of persons
in general converse ton on the subject
conversation in which took but deSul-
tory part, with no idea that it was other
than private conversation. I have not
been correctly quoted in any respect.
Since my name was used in this
article, may I say that it is my belief
that the time has come when many
women are eminently qualified to sit on
the Supreme Court, and I strongly be-
lieve that one should be appointed at
this time.
would be delighted to see Judge Flor
ence Allen, Judge Genevieve Cline, Bur-
nita Shelton Matthews, Sue White Of the
s. E. c., Stella Akin or any one of large
number of highly qualified women ap-
pointed to fill the existing vacancy.
Any one Of them would add to the
dignity and erudition of the court, and
would be an honor to her country and
TO her sex
I am forced to believe that the writer
OF this article has confused my casual
remarks with those of some one else
though none of the persons in the library,
at the time of her visit, expressed the
sentiments attributed to me.

troubles at home as the European dicta-

out OF them. 1t is interesting to note
whether Japan will use the invasion un-
der the pretext Of stamping out COM
munism. II she does, it is likely that the
anti-red pact she has with Germany,
who in turn has an understanding with
Italy on the same subject, will be brought
into effect.

nit the Supreme Court bill and thus. as
he says, walked out on reform" was
"Bachman Of Tennessee" This is a
little too much. Mr.. Bachman died on
April %. even before the Judiciary Com
mittee had taken a vote on the bill.

To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I have heard it stated that the man
who writes for The Star under the name
Of Jay Franklin is known by some other
name when he is not engaged in the
gentle art OF singing billingsgate and
slander via the columns of The Star
II ever man had good reason for
using an alias, this bird has. Far be it
from me to criticize the editorial policy
OF such grand newspaper as The Star.
However, I, along with many friends
with whom I have discussed Franklin's
senseless drivel and deliberate slander,
wonder just why you feel 1t necessary to
publish his vicious and crackpot out
pourings. Is 1t possible that you actu-
ally pay him for it? Oh, there is no
doubt in my mind that he is hand
somely remunerated for his efforts. Jim
Farley and The Chief would be ingrates,
indeed if they did not recognize in
substantial way such rabble-rousing
propaganda.
There was fine example the other
evening of this gentlemans cock eyed
logic. He devoted half of his column to
trying in his feeble way, to stir up
la oors hatred for capital by giving hell
plovers Of labor He then used the other
half of his column to bemoan the fact
that labor could not get along amicably.
Is this fellow just a paid radical mer-
cenary or is he just plain run-of the
mill jackasS, or is he combination of
the two?
In The Star of July % this self -ap-
pointed champion of the 'peepul' openly
and indecently reviled those patriotic
and honorable Senators who voted to
to recommit the sneaking, Stalinesque
court bill. Says they are in the pay of
the "capitaliSts,' etc. or course, to any
one with even rudimentary glimmerings
Of intelligence. his statements are
laughable. Certainly they will not dis
turb those high-minded patriotic log-
cal and Conscientious Senators who re-
fused to do the bidding OF the vilest
political organization that has ever dis
graced this country OF ours.
In other words. nobody cares who
Franklin is. The burning question is
why is he? S. H. MUMFORD.

Is it true that during the Summer
months Jay Franklins column is being
written by Charlie Michaelson Of the
Democratic National Committee and
Crosley Radio Corp?
This senile talk about the court oppo-
nents "double-crossing the voters" is on
an intellectual par with Charles usual
policy Of never discussing a public qEes-
ton on its merits, attacking the personal
integrity Of his opponents instead.
If any double crossing" was done,

plan who carefully concealed their plans
