Labor was mostly fighting with

District Court for Lautier
the Southern District of New York,
would be a step toward correcting
inequities Of which both major
political parties have been guilty
in filling Presidential offices.
While the appointment Of colored
men to judicial posts has been com
paratively negligible, the Demo
cratic party has the better record
in the matter. No Republican ad-
ministration has appointed a colored
man to a higher judicial position
than that Of judge Of the Municipal
Court Of the District Of Columbia.
When the Municipal Court Of the
District of Columbia was first
created, President Theodore Roose-
welt elevated the late Judge Robert
c. Terrell to its bench. Judge Ter
rell previously had been justice
Of the peace. He served as a
municipal court judge until his
death. President Coolidge appoint
ed Judge James A. Cobb as his sue
cessor. The latter served through
the Coolidge and Hoover admins
trations. The late President Frank
lin d. Roosevelt chose Judge
Almond W. Scott to succeed him.
II was President Franklin d.
Roosevelt who chose William II.
HASTE TO be judge of the United
States District Court for the Vir-
gin Islands. This represented the
first step forward in the appoint
ment of colored men to judicial
posts. When HASTE resigned in
1889. President Roosevelt appointed
Herman f. Moore Of Chicago as
his successor.
President Harry S. Truman took
another step forward when he ap-
pointed Irwin c. MOllisOn Of Chi
cagO as a judge Of the United States
Customs Court.
But no colOred man has as yet
served as a judge of a federal court
in the continental United States.
There are a number Of colored men
throughout the country who have
the learning, ability and integrity
and could serve with distinction as
judges of federal courts in this
country just as Terrell, Cobb and
Scott on the District of Columbia
Municipal Court bench and HASTE
on the District Court bench Of the
Virgin Islands distinguished them
selves.

Dear Joe
FOR WOMEN ONLY
By JAMES L. HICKS

Madam, if for reasons best known
to you and a certain dead soldier,
there is a bit of confusion as to
whether or not you are his widow,
and entitled to his death compen-
sation, let the people who have
nothing to do with paying you the
pension be confused. As for your
self give careful attention to the
Veterans Administration defini-
ton of a widow Of a World War
ii veteran.
1.-THE term widow of a World
War ii veteran means a woman
who was married to the veteran
prior to the expiration of 10 years
subsequent to the termination of
hostilities incident to World War
H."
If you are the widow of a vet
eran and your husband died in line
Of duty in the active military or
naval forces, you are entitled to
a pension Of $50 a month. If you
have one child, you are entitled to
$7S per month with $3.50 for each
additional child. If you marry
again your pension will be cut off

groups have served as federal
judges-even of the United States
Supreme Court. They were out
standing. Louis d. Brandeis, Ben
jamin n. Cardozo and Felix Frank
furter will rank with the great
jurists Of this country. Catholics
also have served on the Supreme
Court, notably Chief Justice Edward
D. White Of Louisiana.
Some idea Of the diserimina-
ton in overlooking cOlOred legal
talent in filling judiciary posts
may be CLEANED from the follow
ing details, showing a total Of
296 federal judgeships, only two
Of which--a district judgeship in
the Virgin Islands and the United
States Customs Court judgeship
are held by cOlOred men:
There are nine Supreme Court
justices. The Chief Justice re-
ceives a salary of $25,5OO a year,
and each associate $4,000.
There are five judges on the
United States Court Of Customs
and Patent Appeals, each Of whom,
including the presiding judge, re-
ceives a salary Of S17,5O0.
The United States Customs Court
has nine judges, each of whom, in
GLIDING the presiding judge, re
ceives a salary Of $4,000 a year
The United States Court of
Claims has five judges, each of
whom, including the Chief Justice,
receives a salary Of $17,500 a year.
The Supreme Court Of the Terri
tory Of Hawaii has three judges.
The Chief Justice receives a salary
Of $1O,5OO, and the two associate
justices, $4,000 each. There are
six judges Of circuit courts in
Hawaii, each Of whom receives a
salary of $500 a year.
There are ffty-nine circuit
court judges, each Of whom re-
ceives a salary of $17,5OO, and
200 district judges, including two
in the Territory Of Hawaii, one in
Puerto Rico, four in Alaska, one
in the Virgin Islands and one in
the Panama Canal Zone, each Of
whom receives a salary of $l5,-
900 a year.
In this day and age there are
certainly some Negro lawyers cap
able of filling some of these Judge
ships in the United States District
and Circuit Courts, and even the
Supreme Court. 1t would be good
politics to make some such appoint
ments, and the Truman administra-
ton is certainly moving in the right
direction when it indicates to New
York State Democratic leaders a
desire to fill the vacancy in the
judgeship of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Southern Dis
trict Of New York by the appoint
