Associate Justice Harlan F. Stone,
OF New York, Coolidge appointee
and the courts senior justice in
years of service, who has staunch-
ly supported the constitutionality
OF New Deal legislation ever since
Mr.. Roosevelt came into power.

motion and Jackson's appointment
to the associate vacancy, thereby
created. Friends of Stone init
mate he will retire in a few years
