NEW YORK, Oct. "a. - The
Duke of Windsor, once king of
England, ran the whole universe
for a brief. moment today.
After watching a celestial show
at the Hayden planetarium. the
duke manipulated the gears OF the
protector himself. Stars streaked
across the sky and plane IS
whirled as he turned time back a
year.
He righted affairs before the
solar system had retraced its
path TO the time when he was
the worlds most powerful mon
arch, and then gave up his throne
for the American woman who now
is visiting New York with him as
his duchess. tII III
While the duchess remains be-
hind at her hotel, the duke today
was to fly to Hartford. Conn. for
his first closeup glimpse OF an
American defense plant.

Michigan Supreme Court today had
reaffirmed the onstitutionality of
the states indeterminate sentence
law thereby cutting away the
basis of litigation started by Jack

validity OF the habitual criminal
act.
The high court ruled that Harry
n. Southad, an inmate OF the pri-

nabeas corpus and reafirmed the
constitutionality of the indetermiu-
ate sentence law. The court said
the constitutionality OF the habitusl

to Retire Soon.
lRv Assoelatsd PresD

Washington. June s. AP -
Charles Evans Hughes. the eleventh
man In history to serve as chief
justice OF the United States, will
relinquish his high once on july
and retire TO private life because
OF considerations OF health and
age.
The decision OF the 79-year-oll
jurist TO retire marks the end OF
Supreme Court service that has
covered 10 years-irst as associate
and later as chief justice. II also
closes a career in public life that
has been unusually varied and
distinguished. D
Speculate on Successor
As soon as the Chief Justices
intention TO retire became known,
speculation here fastened on the
question OF his successor. Inform
ed sources freely and almost unani-
mously predicted that Attorney
General Robert II. Jackson. a lead
ing Administration figure, would
be President Roosavelts choice to
succeed Hughes in the nations
highest judicial position.
BY filing this vacancy and an
earlier one that has existed since
the retirement OF Justice James c.
McReynolds last Feb. /, President
Roosevelt will have named seven
OF the nine members OF the tribun.
al. Senator Byrnes (D-S.C), upon
whom the Administration relies
heavily IN pushing legislation
through Congress. is expected TO
be the other appointee.
Chief Justice Hughes sent his
retirement letter to the White
House yesterday before mounting
the bench to preside over the court
for its last session until next oc'

Mr.. Roosevelt wrote out me tele

Since recovering from an illness
in the summer OF 1899, Hughes had
strictly conserved his energy for
his judicial duties. He rarely &C
cepted engagements.
