COUNCIL AWARDS
 $S,7oo CONTRACT
 TO WIRE HARB0n

A contract for wiring the Small Boat Harbor, in the amount of $8,709.60, was awarded the Parsons Electric Company as low bidder, at last nights special meeting of the Juneau City Council.
 Competing bids were for S10,- 10l.50 by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, and $9,840.OO by the Electric Service Shop.
 The Parsons bid was qualified in items to 10, inclusive, to allow a leeway for rise or fall of prices within 20 per cent. However, two per cent cash discount on other items still would keep it lower han either of the other two.
 Ernie Parsons, proprietor of the company. was present to answer questions about specific sums, and optional features.
 One change was made in the original specifications, with the recommendation of James McNam- ara, City Engineer-the installa- ton of circuit breakers instead of fuse boxes.
 The marine-type cable is subject to prior sale, but delivery is pos sible, normally, within ten days.
 The Council adjourned into an informal meeting after the action on the Boat Harbor wiring, for which the special meeting was called.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson pre- sided, and all councilmen were present. They were J. P. Christ ensen, George Jorgenson, James Larsen, w. Burr Johnson, Edward S. Nielsen and J. A. Thibodeau.
 The next meeting of the City Council will be February 4.

Bernard SPAIN Dies;
Fireman for 19 Years

Bernard G. SPAIN. As, District
Fire Department sergeant who
served in the Department for 10
years, died yesterday at George
Washington University Hospital
after a brief illness. He lived at

Born in Washington, he was
graduated from st. Mary's School
here. His father, the late Emil

ledge often remarked that he had
resigned himself to the idea that
Supreme Court justices who help
defend freedom of speech don't
have it themselves. An effective
public speaker, he noted that
judges enjoy only limited range
of topics for speeches outside the
courtroom.
He had brush with the "laW'
in 1948 after an automobile COL
lision in Denver while on vacation
He appeared in traffic court "just
like any other citizen involved in
misfortune" and pleaded not
guilty to a charge of taking the
right of way. He was fined $40
An early judgment on which
Judge Rutledge reversed himself
with happy results occurred years
ago. A favorite Greek professor
at Maryville College had resigned
in 1914 and was replaced by a
young woman teacher. Miss Anna
bel Person of Howell, Mich. The
future Supreme Court justice con-
tended she could never take the
place of his beloved professor.
He changed his opinion and
married Miss Person in 1917.

son of the Rev. w. B. Rutledge
Baptist minister, who died IN
1914. He attended Maryville Col
lege, received his A. B. degree
from the University of Wisconsin
in 1914, and began law studies at
Indiana University while teaching
at the Bloomington High School.
Afflicted with tuberculosis, he
spent year in an Asheville, NC,
sanatorium. Recovering from the
illness in 1917, he taught school
for three years in Albuquerque,
N. Mex. He then resumed his
law studies and obtained his LIB.
from the University of Colorado
in 1922.
After two years with a law firm
in Boulder, Colo. he returned to
teaching. He taught law at the
University of Colorado from 1924
to 1926, at Washington University
in st. Louis from 1925 to 1885,
and at the University of Iowa
from 1885 to 1889. He was dean
of the Washington University Law
School from 1880 to 1885, and
during his entire stay at Iowa.
Came Here In 1889.
He came to Washington in 1888
as judge Of the Court of Appeals
One of the most important de-
cisions in which he joined upheld
the conviction of the American
Medical Association on charges OF
violating the anti trust laws by
alleged activities against a group
health organization in the Dis
trict.
His dissents on the appellate
court included opposition to a
majority opinion sustaining the
constitutionality of license tax
on the sale of religious literature
Shortly after going to the Supreme
Court he cast the deciding vote in
a 5-to-4 vote against constitu-
tionality of similar legislation in
another case.
Justice Rutledge was not the
most frequent dissenter during
his tenure on the Supreme Court
but many of his most widely
known stands were in the minority
In a 44-page dissent in l948 he
protested against the finding that

Mine Workers were subject to in

member Of the court, Associate
Justice Edward T. Sanford, died
1 Justice Taft had retired from the
bench only a month before his
1 death.
Two Others Died Same Year.
The other instances where two
Supreme Court Justices died II,
the same year occurred in 1910
when Associate Justice David j
Brewer died on March % ano
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller
died on July 4, and in 1898 wher
Associate Justice Lucious @. c.
Lamar died on January % and his
colleague Samuel Blatchford on
July 7.
On other occasions, two JUS
ticeS died in the same year but
on none of these occasions were
both men serving on the bench
at the same time, either one or
: both having left the court before
death in each case.
Civil Rights Defender.
Justice Wiley Blount Rutledge
the last of eight Supreme Court
appointees of President Roosevelt
battled for broader treatment o1
the CONSTITUTIONS general welfare
clause many years before he was
named to the tribunal.
He became, naturally and con-
sistently, one of the tribunals
most outspoken defenders of civil
rights for the individual and ol
the law in general as being pri-
marily a system for serving human
needs.
Although frequently aligned
with Justices Black and Douglas
and the late Justice Murphy, he
belonged to no "bloc." In persona
characteristics as well as prior
experience as a judge, he differed
greatly from many of his associ.
ates.
He was, above all, an earnest
believer that democracy changes
with the times but nevertheless
must remain fixed in the 'mainte.
nance of the principle of liberty.
When he was named to the Su-
preme Court in February, 1943, tC
succeed James F. Byrnes, who hao
resigned to become Economic
Sterilization Director, Justice Rut-
ledge was a judge of the United
States Court of Appeals here
While on the highest court he was
the only member, except Chief
Justice Vinson, who had been or
a lower court.
Son of Baptist Minister.
AS early as 1889 he attracted
national notice as possible choice
for the Supreme Court because
of his record and liberal views
as a teacher and dean at several
law schools.
Justice Rutledge was born in
Cloverport, KY. July 20, 1894, g

Battered Body Is Believed
To Be Missing New Yorker
By the Assoeioted Press

WADESBORO. N. c.. Sept. 10
A stabbed and battered body
found in a lake near here last
Wednesday remained unidentified
tonight while in New York the
wife of a missing man tearfully
said she was almost certain" it
was that of her husband.
Mrs. James M. Shirley disclosed
earlier in the week that her 81
year-old husband was missing on
trip to Staunton, Va. where
he was to buy a farm.
She said she was in the Virginia
town yesterday where she talked
with the county attorney who in
turn talked by telephone with
Ben M. Rivers, Anson County
sheriff, here.
According to Mrs. Shirley, cer-
tain laundry marks found on the
dead mans clothing here tailed
with markings on her husbands s
clothing.

Rut|edge death Robs
High Court Of Second
Liberal in Two Months
By the Associated Press

The death of Wiley B. Rutledge
takes from the Supreme Court
within less than two months the
second of the two jurists who
we're regarded by many lawyers
as the tribunals most ardent lib
erals of recent years.
The other, Justice Frank Mur-
ply, died suddenly last July 10.
Justice Rutledge and Murphy
voted together time after time on
all sorts of legal issues. Almost
always they saw eye to eye in
civil rights cases. These included
free speech and free press cases
and appeals by prisoners who
claimed they had been mistreated
by police or had not had fair
trials.
Many court observers feel that
PRESIDENT Truman's next appointee
to the bench likely will be a
Roman Catholic, since he did not
choose a member Of that church
to succeed Justice Murphy. JUS
tice Murphy was the only member
of that faith on the court.
Truman Stresses Ability.
After appointing Attorney Gen
eral Clark as Justice Murphy S
successor, the President remarked
that ability as a lawyer was the
important issue, rather than re-
ligious affiliation.
Some observers felt that regard
less of this, Mr.. Truman will now
turn to a Catholic. The name OF
the new Attorney General, j
Howard McGrath, cropped up first
in this speculation.
Mr.. McGrath is a Catholic, only
As years old. and experienced in
Supreme Court matters through
his former service as United States
Solicitor General.
Possibly initiating against his
elevation now is the circumstance
that he has served in his new
cabinet post only 18 days.
Another former solicitor gen.
eral, Charles Fahy, also is pos
sible Catholic appointee. A Demo
crat, he began his law career al
Santa Fe, N. Mex. He has served
recently on a civilian board which
is trying to find ways to enc
segregation in the armed forces
Others mentioned as possible
successors include Robert P. Pat.
terson, the former Secretary o.
War, and Judge Learned Hand
of the Circuit Court in New York
Judge Hand Mentioned.
Judge Hand has been described
as "the most distinguished living
English speaking jurist." but hi
age presumably is against him as
a Supreme Court appointee. He
is over IT years old.
A Catholic jurist whose name
also has figured in speculation is
Harold M. Stephens of Utah, CHIEF
judge of the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia
He is 63.
A native of Crete, Neb. Judge
Stephens practiced law in Salt
Lake City for many years. He was
Assistant Attorney General, has
been on the Court of Appeals IA
years, and has been it's chief judge
since January, 1948.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyo-
ming, also a Catholic. was men
