By ALEX. R. GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3o-T The Supreme Court, which opens it's l94l-1942 session Oct. 6, will be the youngest-and from the standpoint of judicial experience, the green est''--in more than a century.
 Seven of the nine justices will have been members of the high court less than four years. All. excepting the new chief justice, Harlan Stone, and justice Owen Roberts, have been appointed by President Roosevelt since his un- successful ttempt to infuse younger blood" into the court by enlargement to IS justices and com pulsory retirement at the age of TO-
 Only two members were judges before coming to the high tribunal. Justice Hugo L. Black was police judge early in his career and Justice Frank Murphy served as judge of the recorders court in Detroit for several years. Three justices, Stone, Murphy and Robert H. Jaskson, are former attorneys general of the United States.
 The average age of the court members is 56 compared with Fl when the President launched his court fight in 1887. None is in the "old man. class. The oldest, Chief Justice Stone, is 68. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes was 79 when he retired last summer and Oliver Wendell Holmes was over 90 when he left the bench in 1892 because of failing health.
 The departure of Hughes leaves the court without beard or a mustache for the first time since pre- Civil war days. To court visitors the symmetrical white beard and classic countenance' of the stately Hughes was a perfect symbol of the courts additional dignity. He seemed made to order for the role of No. man in the $8000,000 white marble temple of justice.

For 20 Minutes

Wrangell experienced its second

said today the blaekout, coming as
it did as a surprise attack, was
on the whole successful, most of the

didn't hear the siren, others forgot
to douse their lights and in one in
stance there was outright refusal to
extinguish lights.

To facilitate the Civil Defense or

made in stations SO that men can
be closer to their place of residence

quickly. Director Brown said. These
changes will be posted conspicously
