TotoIed $43o, ,481

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 pa
double-barreled investigation was
under way today into the record of
Judge Martin T. Manton of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in the wake of charges by Dis
trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey
that the high-ranking jurist had ac-
cepted more than 100000 from liti-
gants.
In letter to Representative Hat
ton w. Summers, chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee. Mr.
Dewey listed six loans totaling $439,-
481, which he said had been paid
since 1882 to Judge Manton or cor
porationS owned and controlled by
him.
The money-most of it never re-
paid-was advanced by individuals
or concerns acting for parties in
terested in matters handled by the
Appeals Court, Mr.. Dewey said.
Four Won Cases.
-Four of the six transactions, he
added, involved litigants whose
cases before the court later were
won.
IF, upon the foregoing facts, the
House of Representatives should
assume jurisdiction of this matter"
the district attorney wrote, "I am
prepared to present evidence be-
fore your committee in support
thereof"
The Judicial Committee normally
initiates impeachment proceedings
against Federal judges. If the
House adopts its recommendation
for an Impeachment action, formal
charges are sent to the Senate,
which tries the case. A two thirds
vote of the Senate is required to
remove from office
An investigation by the Depart
ment of Justice into the affairs of
Judge Manton was announced in
Washington Saturday by Attorney
General Frank Murphy.
Appointed by Wilson.

to his present post in 1918 by Presi-
dent Wilson, as senior member of
the Appeals Court is outranked in
the Nations judicial hierarchy only
by the nine members of the Supreme
Court.
Informed of Mr.. Deweys accusa-
tions, Judge Manton said he had
known for some time that the dis
trict attorneys office was looking
into his affairs and added:
Il will make no comment now I
will wait until I have read the full
text of Mr.. Dewey's letter to the
House Committee"
In his letter to Representative
Summers, Texas Democrat, Mr..
Dewey said he had been investigat-
ing Judge Manton for a year with
view to possible criminal prose-

Frunkfurter Takes
Oath as Justice:
NotubIes Attend
By ]. A. FOX.

before crowd that taxed the
courtroom, Felix Frankfurter today
took oath of Office as an associate
justice of the United States Supreme
Court, promising in a firm. clear
voice Ito administer justice without
respect to person.
Immediately upon reading the
oath after Charles Elmore Cropley,
the clerk of the court, the new justice
crossed behind his seven associates
on the bench and took his seat at
the extreme left, next to Justice
Hugo L. Black, who grasped his hand
as he sat down.
The ceremony which elevated the
one-time Austrian immigrant boy to
the highest tribunal in the world
was matter of hardly more than a
few seconds.
Prior to coming on the bench,
Justice Frankfurter took the con.
stitutional oath in the privacy Of
the court conference room from
Chief Justice Hughes.
AS the justices filed in on the stroke
of II, Prof. Frankfurter coming in
at the end took seat below the
bench level at the right of the court.
Hughes Announces Appointment.
Chief Justice Hughes then an
nounced the appointment by Presi-
dent Roosevelt with the advice and
the consent of the Senate" and the
clerk read the commission of Office.
After the clerk, Justice Frankfurter
repeated the oath of office, conclud-
ing with the promise, so help me
God"
Escorted by the marshal, Thomas
E. Waggaman, Justice Frankfurter
then took his place and the court
began to deliver opinions.
Only Justice Brandeis, who is i'll,
was absent from the ceremony,
which was witnessed by Mrs. Frank
furter and many notables and
friends of the new justice.
Just before the court convened
Attorney General Frank Murphy
and Solicitor General Robert H.
Jackson, whose names were at vari-
Gus time associated with the va
cancy to which Justice Frankfurter
was appointed, came into the court.
The combination of ceremony in
Quoting Justice Frankfurter and the
possibility that the court today
would hand down decision on the
constitutionality of the Tennessee
Valley Authority attracted the larg-
est crowd of the session and one of
the largest that ever has been pres
ent at the court.
Extra Chairs in Aisle.
The limited number of court room
seats was exhausted and the line
of hopeful spectators began gather
ing an hour before the time for court
to open. AS last minute emer-
gency measure, extra chairs were
placed in the aisles of the chamber
and spectators not fortunate enough
to get in clotted around the grilled
entrances leading from areaways
along the side of the court room.
Those reserving seats for the cere-
mony included Secretary of Labor
Perkins, Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins, the wives of Justices But
Ter, Stone, Black and Reed, Mrs
Frankfurter, Thomas G. Corcoran

ment attorneys and former pupils of
