C.. C.. Dickinson, Passes A,Uay

CLINTON, Missouri, Jan. Is. -
Clement C. Dickinson, 88, Dean OF
the Nations Congressman, for 20
years serving as Representative
from Missouri, is dead here.
Clement Cabell Dickinson, who
had the distinction of being the old
est member OF the House of Rep
resentatives, adhered strictly to the
rule he laid down for himself when
he first came to Congress in 1910.
Il have no desire to do anything
out of the ordinary" he said Just
prior to taking the oath.
Dickinson's career in Congress
might have been vastly different had
he not chosen that course. He came
to Capitol Hill when the whole leg
islative history of the country was
about to undergo a revolution.
He ran to fill a vacancy in the
sixth district of Missouri and his
election itself caused Juror. He
was hailed by the Democrats as
the forerunner of the end OF the
concentration of power in the
Speakership
The issue in his campaign had
been 'Cannonism Champ Clark,
later to become Speaker, had stump
ed for him and personally conduct
ed him to the well of the House to
be sworn in.
Prophecy Comes True
A little more than a year later
Dickinson saw his sponsor succeed
Speaker Joseph Cannon and the
prophecy based upon his election
come true. The wings of the Speak
er had been clipped. Taft failed OF
reelection and the Democrats con-
trolled the Federal Administration

years, the calm, portly and genial

Reaction Indicates Favor
able Action Will Be
Taken Immediately

WASHINGTON, Jan. ID
President Roosevelt has NOM
mated Solicitor General Stan
lev Reed to be Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of
the United States succeeding
A o ci a tie Justice George
Sutherland who has resigned
and whose resignation is eff
fective next Tuesday.
Stanley Reed had been dis
cussed as a possible appointee
for a long time even as a sue
cessor to Willis Van Devan-
ter, who was succeeded by
Hugo L. Black.
The Senate WAS somewhat
excited when word spread
about that Reed had been
nominated. Immediate reac-
ton among the Senators is
judged however to be favor
able and it is indicated that
the Judiciary Committee will
consider the nom i n a i O n
promptly.
Reed was born in Maysville, Ken
lucky December 81, 1884 AS Solicit
tor General he has carried the bur-
den of arguing many of the New
Deals biggest cases before the Su-
preme Court. He is known to have
a highly favorable impression among
lawyers.
Although a Democrat, Hoover ap-
pointed Reed to the Farm Credit
Board as Counsel Later, Reed was
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
counsel and was elevated to the
Solicitor Generals post early in the
Roosevelt Administration.
Democratic Senators praised the
selection Of Reed but many Repub-
licans withheld comment, as usual
Senator Burke, one of the Presi-
uent's most outstanding critics of
the court enlargement plan and sub
sequent Black appointment, was one
of the first to commend the ap-
pointment.
Senator Vandenburg, Republican
said the appointment was excel
lent in view of the circumstances.
Chairman Ashurst, of the Judici-
airy Committee, said public hearings
will be held, possibly starting late
next week and I'VE will hear any
coherent citizen at any length he
wishes to be heard

United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD. (UP).-DennlS
O'keefe, a one-time film extra,
believes the extra ranks of Holly
wood are crowded with potential
players of ability.
The lanky actor, however, tips
his hat to Lady Luck who was re-
sponsible in a measure for studio
officials noticing him while he was
an extra, although these officials
say that O'Keefe's ability was re-
sponsible for his luck.
Directors, stars, producers and
casting directors become so ac-
customed to seeing the same faces
day after day that it requires
something unusual to focus the
spotlight on them. Otherwise they
will take the extras for. granted
and not pay any attention to
them" ~ -.
O'Keefe was an extra fog five
years, playing anything from an
Indian to a waterfront bum. He
worked in every studio in Holly
wood knew many of the stars
and featured players, and was
friendly with directors. But they
accepted him as fixture. :.
after ALL" he said,e "an extra
is merely part of the background.
He does not talk. He seldom has
an important action. 1t is, nat
ural he should be taken for grant
ed =
"The extras, however, frequent
ly are well-grounded in the funda-
mentals of movie ?makipg. They
learn much about lighting, camera
angles and the elements of dra-
matte technique from years of
watching others perform and hear
ing directors coach the stars. But
usually they get little opportun-
ity to. test their knowledge" ~.
s,O'Keefe was first called to the
attention of studio officials by
Clark Gable and Director Jack
Conway because of bit part he
did in Saratoga, That bit was
cut from the picture before it
was released, but the studio Off
Gals were urged to- look it over
carefully by Gable and Conway.
Later he tried out for role
in "Rosalie." He didn't get. the
part but Producer Harry Rapf
saw the test and cast ,0'Keefe as
the Juvenile lead with Wallace
Berry in bad Man of Brim-
stone" His work in that picture
won O'Keefe long-term con-
tract.
