On Retirinq

The memoirs of Charles Evans
Hughes will await another hand
than that of the retiring Chief
Justice.
Suggestions have been advanced
that Mr.. Hughes might set down
his own account of the stirring
events of history in which he par
| ticipated, such as the 1916 presiden-
tial race. the 1921 arms conference
and the court reorganization fight OF
1887, after he leaves the Supreme
Court July l, but it was made known
yesterday that this would not be
+ done.
No explanation was given, but the
Chief Justice, even after retirement
still will be a judicial officer, SUBJ
ject to service on Federal Circuit
and District Courts, and a Federal
judge does not talk about contro-
versial questions.
