JINGLE IN AUSTRIA

Vienna, Jan. 6.-UP)-Dr. Solo, mon Frankfurter, 80, once an hon. ored Austrian government official but more recently a Nazi prisoner, learned from a radio bulletin that his nephew, Felix Frankfurter, had been appointed to the supreme court of the United States.
 Prof. Frankfurter left Vienna 48 years ago. He and his parents went to the United States. Members of the Frankfurter family remaining here were proud of his elevation. His uncle was formerly director of the Vienna university library. Jews were proud that Frankfurter had re- mained true to the Jewish faith. Some Jews feared that his appoint ment might increase anti-Semitism in the United States.
 Nazis Claim Proof
 Some Nazis said they welcomed the appointment as proof" of their claim that President Roosevelt and his New Deal were under Jewish in- duence. Indirectly, Nazis asserted, Frankfurter's appointment "may hasten the day when non-Jewish Americans will reject the Roosevelt administration and bring about a restoration of German-American friendship"
 Frankfurter'S uncle here became a public figure when he was appointed under the Dollfus- -Schuschnigg re- gime to the cultural council of the Austrial parliament. After the Ger many army took Austria in Hitler's name, he was arrested and held for several days with other politically exposed" Jews and prominent fig ures of the former regime. Among his cell-mates was Jewish photog- rapher, Ernst Kleinberg, now in New York. Felix Frankfurter was said here to have been a good friend of the late Austrian finance minis ter, Dr. Josef Redlich.

STUDENTS ARE
 VERY ELIGIBLE

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 6-(UP)- High school and college students en- gagged in part-time employment are eligible for unemployment compen- sation, Unemployment Compensa- tion Commissioner Frank R. Odlum ruled today.
 "The law" he said, "does not de- fine the hours in which the avail ability test should be confined and each case of this kind it appears must be decided on its own peculiar facts"
 ''The mere status of student" Odlum ruled, should not of itself disqualify 8 student from meeting the requirements of availability" (for a job.

question of whether they received a fair trial under our social sys- tenn"
 His demand for background makes him force students to work on social research in his classes. Once each week he holds a two-hour seminar at which only graduate students and honor seniors are admitted. In toastmaster style, he welcomes his pupils, gets them to talk, and then retires to the rear of the hall to lissen and criticize.
 He Hates Lecturing
 He hates featuring, but will talk for hours with friends on the tele- phone and his wife says the bills are enormous. Often he invites prize students to his green trimmed, three story stucco home near the college for "bull" sessions.
 His attractive wife, the former Marion R. Denman of Springfield whom he married 19 years ago, says her home life is "series of sur prises" since she never knows when or how many guests will be invited to dinner flor a talk"
 Frankfurter's is a photographic" mind that never relaxeS. He IS an omnivorous reader, but no ath- lete. Occasionally he drinks cock tail and sometimes smokes. His ex- ercise is walking to classes-strid- ing along Cambridge streets in baggy tweed suit and battered, turn ed-up hat.
 Frankfurter's hero was Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Landis said Frankfurter has many of his hero's qualities in attempting to mould the law to fit the country's economic, political and social needs.
 T think that is one reason Frank furter accepted the nomination, ' Landis said. He never sought and never would seek the post, but hav- ing it thrust upon him, accepted the chance to aid in conforming the nations laws to fit the nations so- cial needs. He will be liberal, but above all discriminating states man."
 Today Frankfurter said he was sensible of his obligations" but de- clined to discuss his appointment or the courts duties. Recently, how ever, he said:
 "The judges of the supreme court are in fact arbiters of social policy. If the court, aided by alert and and 8 public-spirited bar, has ac- cess to the facts and follows them, the Constitution is flexible enough to meet all the needs of our so- ciety."

the Senate, but there never has been
a time when he could buck a COM
bined Democratic Republican vote.
Too many Democrats wouldn't fol-
low him.
There's been a Republican leader
Senator McNary And a nominal
Democratic leader-Senator Barkley.
And, very slightly in a Democratic
minority-say Senator Wheeler. But
there's never been a time at this ses-
sion of Congress when Senator Bark
ley has been able to deliver the ad-
ministrative goods McNary and
Wheeler, or McNary, Glass and Byrd
or McNary, Shipstead and Lundeen
have swung the votes. Outside his
own faction of his own party Bark
ley has been limited to Progressive
and Independent Senators La Fol-
lette and Norris.
But the Money Bill?
But to get back to the money bill!
This bill involved powers granted
temporarily (mind that) to the Presi-
dent and the Treasury.
They were due to expire at mid
night June 30. The House of Repre-
sentatives voted to extend 'em. The
Senate didn't. Does that mean tina
they expired?
While the issue was pending SEN
ator Barkley contended that they
would expire at that juncture. There
fore he demanded a prompt vote. He
didn't get it. Four days elapsed
Then, skimpily, he did get his af-
firmative vote. Now he says that it
wasn't too late-that he said that il
wouldn't be too late.
Js it? Or isn't it?
The anti-money bill bunch contend
that it was too late. Barkley says not.
But previously he said the other
thing.
In the Courts.
The question is sure to come up
in the courts.
1t means all sorts Of legal compli-
cations.
It'll last for years.
It'll be a constitutional question,
with Senator Barkley mixed into it.
He'll become historical.
He's small-bore Kentucky poll
tician, but he's liable to rate with oul
constitut tional authorities.
At guess, = would appear to me
that an expired power was expired.
That's what, in advance, Senator
Barkley thought.
He said so. Now he says the other
thing.

prevent relief workers from going to
their jobs.
Previously agents Of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation had been
sent to Minneapolis to see whether
Federal laws had been violated in
connection with the WPA strike
there.
Murphy said there had been some
instances of racketeering in the WPA
strikes, notably at Minneapolis and
at some other points He added that
racketeering was different from "tile
sincere tyne of protest, which is un-
derstandable."
The attorney general said ''com-
mon sense was needed to cope with
the strikes. He explained he had
suggested to district attorneys that
they "keep in mind the unfortunate
situation that has been created"
Colonel F. c. Harrington, WPA
commissioner, who has been attend
ing conference Of his State admin
istrators in Chicago, said that dis
missals of workers who remain away
from their jobs five days would con-
tlnue. Reports of dismissals were in
complete in Washington headquar-
ters, but at least $1,000 had been dis
charged up to last night
Reports of the total on strike also
were incomplete, but officials said
the number had decreased from a
peak Of 92,77O on Wednesday.

Extra Care Required
In Transplanting
Of EVer9reenS

This is one of the big seasons for
transplanting evergreens in other
than the extreme South. Evergreens
transplanted at this time have an
excellent opportunity to regain their
balance and make new growth be-
fore winter sets in.
1t should be remembered that
recently transplanted evergrens need
a little extra care If they are to do
their best. Plants with evergreen
leaves give off quantities of moisture
through their abundant foliage and
on windy or fairly warm, sunny
days this loss of water is a surprls-
ing quantity. While the plants are
equipped by nature with heavy cell
layers, intended to conserve this
moisture, we can make it much
easier for them by providing it.
1t is good practice to water re-
Gently transplanted evergreens very
heavily and make it part of your
gardening job to see that the soil
around their roots never has an op-
portunity to dry out. 1t is further
recommended that for at least a
month after transplanting the tops
of all evergreens be sprayed with
the garden hose to which is fitted
a very fine sprinkler nozzle. The
water should fall on the trees as
light dew and only enough should
be supplied so that the diseases,
which follow an excess of water, are
prevented.
