FRANK MURPHY IS .
NAMED TO COURT

NSSAbAiuVG AEUul EhSe
He Is quiet spoken to O point
where he Is almost inaudible, and
IN his early political career In De-
troit was dubbed 1.-THE whispering
baritone"
His enemies, as well as his friends
concede his absolute honesty and his
conscientiousnesS, although they Of
ten disagree vigorously with his poll
cies.
He doesn't drink or smoke. He
prizes q Bible given him by his
mother when very young, and reads
a passage from II every night.
His one year as attorney general
like his two years as governor OF
Michigan, was O whirlwind.
Taking command OF the Justice
department last January after he
had been defeated for reelection rs
governor, no blasted corrupt political
machines In Kansas City and
Louisiana: created q special unit 10
investigate violations Of civil lIber-
ties; enersized enforcement OF the
anti.trust laws; swept erring judges
out OF the judiciary; and set d.men
by the hundreds on the trail Of spies
and saboteurs.
Only few weeks ago Murphy said
publicly that he desired 10 remain
at the justice department; that
there were others better qualified
for the high court. The President
induced him to change his mind.
Indications were that Murphy's
nomination would win easy senate
confirmation. There were only
seven votes against him when he
was confirmed 60 attorney general
Q year ago. At that time n senate
judiciary committee held only per.
functory hearings and approved his
nomination, but Murphy took the
unprecedented step Of asking COM
mittee reconsideration 50 he would
have an opportunity TO defend hts
handling Of Michigan sit-down
strikes.
His first major service with the
administration was as governor gen.
eral OF the Philippines. Then he
became the first United States high
commissioner when the island COM
monwealth was established. He re-
turned In 1885 when the admins.
tration felt that his presence was
needed on the Democratic ticket In
Michigan. He was elected governor
and as he began his administration
Shutdown strikes were underway In
the General Motors Corp, rlant at
Flint.
The new strike technique closed
General Motors and Chrysler plants
as the United Automobile Workers
Of America sought recognition. Muf :
ply worked night and day In q
successful effort to settle the con-
troversy. His efforts brought praise
from the manufacturers as well as
the union. But they played o part
In his defeat for ree:ection In 1888
after he had been criticized before
the Dies committee for not using
national guardsmen To Gust the
LAYER, before O senate committee,
he condemned the sit-down strike
technique, but said that he was
faced In Michigan with "condi-
ton. not q theory.
Murphy Is q bachelor. A sister

as hostess at the ofilcial social events
