First Woman Law Clerk
OF High Court Likes Her Job

When Miss Lucille Lomen started
work as law clerk to Associate Jus-
tice Douglas. she became the frst
woman to serve In that capacity at
the Supreme Court.
So far as she knows, however,
her appointment was not designed
to establish 4 precedent, but was
based on the recommendations Of
her college and university professors.
Nor had she met Justice Douglas
before her arrival here three weeks
ago to prepare for her duties, which
of1icially began yesterday.
Only "a years old, she received her
law degree in May at the University
Of Washington, where five Of her
predecessors, who served one year
each with Justice Douglas, also
graduated.
Various court attaches have
dropped In to 'look her over" she
admitted. On the whole, however,
her presence has been accepted
calmly. Not q militant feminist,
she appreciates the appointment
most because there Is no inner OPP
portunity for . person serious about
law"
Wearing q brown tailored suit
Miss Lomcn looked very efficient in
her book-lined ONCE at the court
but the soft blue Of her blouse
brought out the blue in her eyes
which have humorous sparkle.
She was born In Nome, Alaska
where her father was In busines!

Lomen. was a Federal judge. "l

Judge WI. Henderson
Named 10 Maryland
Court Of Appeals
Baltimore Jurist Fills
Vacancy Left BY Death
Of Judge R. K. Adams
By the Assoeialed Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 3.-Judge
william L. Henderson Is the new
member Of !. the Maryland Court Of
Appeals.
The Baltimore jurist was named
yesterday by Gov. O'Conor to fill the
vacancy left by the death of Judge
Rowland X. Adams.
Judge Henderson, former deputy
attorney general and later chairman
Of the State Tax Commission, was
named by Gov. O'Conor to the Su-
preme Bench of Baltimore City in
April, 1s43.
Judge Henderson Is admirably
equipped for the duties of appellate
Judge by reason Of his scholarship.
wide experience and general quali-
fications." the Governor said. "As
"a member Of the attorney generals
staff over several terms, he wrote
more opinions probably than any
other person connected with that
Office.
I'm addition to the experience
gained from this important work.
Judge Henderson had an excellent
opportunity to handle problems
from every section of Maryland as
a result of his contacts with the
Legislature over many sessions"
His appointment was recon-.
mended, Gov. O'Conor said, by the
Maryland State Bar Association and
the Baltimore Bar Association.
Judge Henderson, so, was born in
Philadelphia but is member of an
old Talbot County family. He Is
graduate of the University Of Vir-
ginia and the Harvard Law School.
He was appointed an assistant
attorney general in 1881 and served
in that capacity for seven years.
He was elevated to the deputystip
in 1888 and held that post until
being named Tax Commission
chairman in September, 1871.
Among his achievements as Tax
Commission head was the States
permanent assessment law which
was approved by the 1943 General
Assembly and became effective at
the start Of this year.
He Is married and is the father
Of one child.

from youthful admirers. "The girls
are flckle," he said with a hearty
laugh. They sign their letters
love and Kisses"
Talks as He Works.
Standing before q large easel, Mr.
Mansfield swiftly creates his chalk
characters out OF a letter, teacup
or bicycle, while keeping up q
constant stream of chatter with q
life-saving moral: "You know
Bumpsy Daisy is a sad-looking girl
because she is a careless girl. She
rides two on a bike and she isn't
here today because she's pushing up
daisies instead of riding along and
enjoying the pretty daisies"
While drawing. he spelled. out:
MY name is Sally Safety,
walk to school each day,
I stop at every corner
The patrol boy to obey"
Then all the. high-pitched voices
|chimed in to repeat the poem.
Prove Well Coached.
The safety quiz which followed
the play started slowly. until Mr..
Mansfield asked: "One of you good
Democrats answer this question. i"
Hands few up and ready answers
proved the children well coached in
safety rules. Prizes of two movie
tickets were awarded on the stage.
Cries of disappointment rose as
the noon bell rang. Boys and girls
crowded up to the stage to get an
autograph, discarded cartoon, or a
pat on the back. Three 11-year-
old boys fought for the privilege Of
helping Mr.. Mansfield carry away
his equipment.
Nevertheless, Inspector Mansfield
anxiously asked the photographer:
How did they like it?" And he
added: "I,ll perfect it as 60 from
school to school,"
