was sworn in as an associate justice
of District Court.
1t remained somewhat indefinite
today as to exactly when the two
new justices will begin presiding at
trials, but it was thought they would
do so very soon.
Fay Choice Pieases Many.
In the meantime, the announce
ment OF the appointment OF Mr..
Fay brought favorable comment
from the leaders of the bar.
Austin F. Garfield, president OF
the District Bar Association. said:
While I am not speaking officially
for the association l feel that this
Is a very happy appointment.
Mr.. Fay is an active member OF
our association. He has taken a
leading part on the Veterans Com
mittee. He has served on this group
last year and has done very good
work"
Chairman Smith Of the associa-
tions Committee on Judicial Selec-
ton, which handles prospective ap-
pointments, said that he was pleased
with the choice.
William E. Leahy, another leader
at the bar. also expressed pleasure.
Some withhold Comment.
Some members OF the bar, who
asked that their names be not used,
said that the appointment was too
new for definite sentiment to crys-
tallize. Some ventured the opinion
that opposition may be found to Mr..
Fay by the time Congress meets in
January. Then, the Senate Judiciary
Committee is likely to hold hearings
on his nomination, after President
Truman sends his name TO the Sen
ate for confirmation.
Other lawyers said that Mr.. Fay
is not yet we'll enough known at
the local bar for them to express
an opinion upon his qualifications.
Mr.. Canfield personally congratu-
lated Mr.. Fay this morning and
offered the services of the associa-
lion to him in his new post.
Mr.. Fay was congratulated by
Justice F. Dickinson Let's, who pre-
sided at the war risk insurance
trials at District Court, in which
Mr.. Fay took part. Mr.. Fay be-
came friendly with the jurist dur
ing that part of his career.

Fighting between Nationalist and

week-old cease-fire order, dispatch

Nationalist Gen. Cheng Kai-Ming,

1t was learned authoritatively
that Manchuria, with the exception
of Jehol province, is considered by
