The Political Mill
Some New Dealers ToIk Of Place for Roosevelt
Outside Presidency in Next Administration

However, If Mr.. Roosevelt should
become Vice President he would have
a niche all his own by virtue of
election by the people. Further
more, he would have a job removed
from the executive branch of the
Government. That Mr.. Roosevelt
would run for Vice President next
year, however, seems just as i'm
probable as that any President who
may be elected would appoint Mr..
Roosevelt to his cabinet. He would
be glutton for trouble if he did.
Nor is it likely that Mr.. Roosevelt
would accept a cabinet office-either
as Secretary of the Navy or as
Secretary of State.
One Place Appropriate, However.
There is one Office outside the
executive branch of the Govern
ment, however, to which a former
President might, with entire dig
nifty, be appointed. Indeed, a for
mer President did fill it not many
years ago. That is the Office of
Chief Justice of the United States.
The present Chief Justice, Charles
Evans Hughes, was in 1915 a can
didate for President. Mr.. Hughes,
like President Roosevelt, served in
the past as Governor of New York.
There has been no indication
that Mr.. Hughes intends to retire
from the Office of Chief Justice. He
has served and is serving with great
distinction and any suggestion that
he intended to leave the bench
would be signal for wide regret
throughout the country. 1t seems
in the cards, however, that the next
President OF the United States,
whoever he may be, will, in due
course, have one or more appoint
ments to make to the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a lawyer. It is
true that he has not practiced law
actively for a long time. But he
has had much to do with writing
laws and administering them for
the last II years, first as Governor Of
New York and then as President of
the United States. Some of the
appointees 70 the court in the past
have no immediate active practice of
the law back of them. The late Will
liam Howard Taft, who became
Chief Justice several years after he
had been President, had been
teacher Of law at Yale University
before he took his seat on the bench.
And for years before Mr.. Taft be-
came President he had been con-
nected with the Government serv-
ice, as Governor General of the
Philippines and as Secretary of
War.
Three Others Not in Active Practice.
More recently. Associate Justice
Black left the Senate to go on the
bench and Associate Justice Doug
las the Craftsmanship of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission.
Before his appointment to the S. E.
c. Mr.. Douglas had been a pro-
fessor of law at Yale.
Two and half years ago Mr..
Roosevelt set out to make over the
Supreme Court, holding that it was
still living in the "horse and buggy"
days. The court had handed down
decisions which struck at the New
Deal laws-outlawing both the N.

day he has still another vacancy to
fill, due to the death of Associate
Justice Pierce Butler. So the
court in large part has been made
over. Mr.. Roosevelt's own appoint
ment to the court would make the
revanping complete.
That Mr.. Roosevelt would be con-
tent in a judicial capacity is en-
tirely another matter. He will be SO
years old when he leaves the White
House in January, 1941, If he leaves.
The atmosphere Of the Supreme
Court is vastly different from that
of the White House.

as to be described as coming from
