Brief in LincoIn's S Only Case
In Supreme Court on Exhibit
Original Manuscript
Placed on Display in
Tribunals S Library

Abraham Lincoln, the lawyer,
made his second appearance in
Supreme Court today.
The original hand written five
page manuscript of brief he used
in oral arguments in case 100
years ago before the justices was
placed in a display case in the
Supreme Court library.
1t was presented to the court by
John S. Flannery, Washington at
torney, to whom it had been given
some years ago by Mrs. Robert Todd
Lincoln, wife of President Lincoln S
son.
The written notes related to the
case Of Lewis VS.. Lewis. property
deed litigation that came to the
Supreme Court from Illinois at the
December, 1948, term. Lincoln then
was serving in Congress, his only
Federal office before becoming Chief
Executive in 1861.
A notation at the bottom of the
brief shows he appeared personally
before the court, but researchers in
the law library had not determined
whether he won the case.
Along with the brief, parchment
etching of Lincoln was presented
to the Supreme Court by Mr.. Flan-
merry. The brief has been inclosed
in a glass case containing, among
other things, an original opinion by
Chief Justice Marshall and the Ger

Option Plan TO Replace
Covenants Reported
Making HeadwaY

A property owners "option plan"
TO conform to the Supreme Court
ban on enforcement of racial cove
nants is making very material
heacway" here. Clifford H. Newell.
former president of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, said today.
Mr.. Newell, speaking at meeting
OF the Greater Woodbridge Land
Covenant Alliance at 2004 Rhode
Island avenue NE. last night, de-
clared the Supreme Court listened
to a small minority" of the people
in ruling last May that restrictive
covenants cannot be enforced by
courts.
He said today the option procedure
he outlined at the meeting Is very
favorably considered by several
Washington citizens organizations.
ut is simply a means of keeping
up property values by protecting
areas for residents desired by the
property owners" he explained.
THE plan cannot be attacked be-
cause it is perfectly legal and makes
no mention of race, creed or color" "
Under the plan citizens associa-
ton or other authorized group would
select captain" to take a 30-day
option on all properties in hls block.
If homeowner wanted to sell, the
captain" holding the option would
have 80 days to investigate pros
pective purchasers.
Mr.. Newell will speak on the same
subject at meeting of the River
Terrace Citizens Association at 8
o'clock tonight at the organizations
headquarters in the 400 block Of
Thirty fourth street NE. He said
he planned to appear before various
other citizens groups as an in
terested citizen to urge adoption Of
the option plan or some Similar
arrangement.

We all think he is an above-aver-
age policeman who deserves this
honor. Why don't we show him.
personally, that we think he's a
worthy recipient of the award?" =
Secret Arrangements Made.
But, he added, let's make it a
surprise.
So the civic leaders huddled with
police officials and arrangements
were made. The ceremony would be

their respects to this man.. 4.-
Sister Agnes Pauline and Sister
