Roosevelt Now Has
Chance for Eighth
Court Appointment
Byrnesl Is First Justice
In 20 Years to Leove
Bench for New Post
BY the Associated Press.


Resignation of Justice Byrnes
from the Supreme Court to become
economic stabilization director
opened the way yesterday for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to make his eighth
appointment to the high tribunal.
This will establish a new record
for presidential Supreme Court ap-
pointments since the administration
OF George Washington. The pre-
vious record of five appointees was
held jointly by Presidents Lincoln,
jackson and Taft.
Mr.. Byrnes was the first of the
seven justices appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to leave the bench
He also was the first to leave for
any reason other than death or age
since Justice John H. Clarke re-
tired in 1922 to work for world
peace. Mr.. Clarke now lives in San
Diego. Justice Roberts took leave
of absence to head the Pearl Har-
Dor Investigating Commission and
Justice Murphy served with the
Army during the summer.
There was considerable specula-
tion over Mr.. Byrnes' likely sue
cessor on the Court, but it was en-
tirely unofficial and there was no
general agreement. Some OF the
names mentioned we're:
Attorney General Biddle, Solici-
tor General Fahy, Thurman Arnold,
Assistant Attorney General in charge
of antitrust law enforcement; Sam
uel Rosenman, New York Supreme
Court justice and one of the Presi-
dents closest advisers and Majority
Leader Barkley.
Those who believed Federal Cir
cult judge might be promoted men,
toned Learned Hand, New York;
Miss Florence E. Allen, Cleveland;
Armistead NJ Dobie, Charlottesville,
Va; Samuel H. Sibley of Atlanta,
Sherman Minton of New Albany,

que, N. M. Judges Minton and Brat

Begin Occupying New
Meridian Hotel
Full Booking Of $50
Expected in ; Weeks;
Rates Bur Low-Puid

Women Government workers be-
gan moving into the streamlined
New Meridian Hotel at Sixteenth
and Euclid streets NV. yesterday
and it probably will be filled to its
capacity of $50 persons within three
weeks, Manager Fordyce Minnick
said today.
He said 189 tenants moved in on
opening day, and another group of
ITO was scheduled to take occupancy
today. Mr.. Minnick said the double
rooms are in great demand. He
added the main dining room would
be opened Saturday, with monthly
rates to be established after the
hotel guests indicate the type Of
food they want.
Costing approximately $1,750, 900,
including furnishings, the eight
story apartment hotel has an in
door swimming pool, sun deck,
lounge rooms, card rooms, library,
terraces and gardens.
Exclusion Plan Hit.
Considerable criticism was leveled
at Meridian Hill recently when it
was learned the management of the
Government-owned hotel planned
to exclude Government employees
making under 81 300 year. 1t was
the opinion at Defense Homes Corp,
the RFC subsidiary that built the
place, that Government women in
the lower salaried brackets would be
unable to pay the prices asked for
rooms.
A number of officials, including
Rent Administrator Robert F.
Cogswell, declared that rents for
rooms at the hotel were so high
that it would have little effect in
relieving Washington's critical
housing situation. 1t was pointed
out that the great need for hous-
ing here was among clerks and
stenographerS making under 81 800.
The RFC, however, stated that
the hotel was designed to meet
need for housing Government wo-
men in the upper brackets. It is
a rather elaborate, including among
its appointments a room for private
dinner parties and large soft
drink cocktail ROOM"
Phones Hard to Secure.
Although there is supposed to be
a telephone in every room, Defense
Homes has been unable to get
complete order for phones cleared
through the War Production Board.
Rents in Meridian Hill range from
about $31 month person for the
less desirable double rooms to $45 a
month for the better single rooms.
Although the building is designed
along the lines of first-class hotel,
the management said occupants
would get maid service only once
week. On the other days they will
have to do their own bed-making
and room tidying.
