has existed on the high court since
death of Justice Benjamin n. Car
dozo last July O.
Proposals that Frankfurter be
named to succeed the brilliant
Jewish justice, Cardozo. had been
voiced in many quarters.
Frankfurter is the third jurist
to be appointed to the high bench
by Roosevelt. His other appointees
were Justices Hugo l.. Black and
Stanley F. Reed.
Announcement of the selection
of Frankfurter was made through
White House Secretary stephen T
Early, who gave one paragraph
typewritten2 statement TO news
paper men gathered in the White
House press room.
Frankfurter, an old friend
OF the president, has been his
adviser off and on since the
1882 campaign. He frequently
visited the White House and
for the past several years his
name has persistently cropped
up As a likely nominee for the
bench.
Today's announcement, never
theless, occasioned considerable
surprise, inasmuch as the president
only last Tuesday said no decision
on the court appointment had been
reached. Moreover, he had in
dicated at that time that only
routine recess appointments would
90 up to the senate today.
Frankfurter, born In Vienna,
Austria, Nov. IS, 1882, was
brought to the L. s. In 1894.
