ordered the Bataan death march
that cost 1920 American lives.
Homma was executed by an Amer

Justice Murphy said, "or we aban-
don all pretense of justice. let the

level of revengeful blood purges
Apparently the die has been cast
in favor of the latter case"

His protest was made in an
opinion dissenting to the Supreme

ion.. Justices Murphy and Rut-

Gen. Douglas Macarthur, supreme

WAA Force WORKING
Night and Day 10 Find

By Miriom Ottenbera

The compliance force of the War
Assets Administration is working
night and day under direction of
the Senate Expenditures Subcom-
mittee in its search for influence
peddling "5 per centers.'
This was revealed today by Jess
Larson. head of the General Serv-
ices Administration of which WAA
is part.
Mr.. Larson said the Senate in
vestigating group is telling the
compliance force where to look
for evidence and the WAA men
are reporting to the committee
staff.
The committees investigation
already has led to the suspension
of two Army major generals and
the Army inspector generals Of
flee is continuing its companion
investigation of the merchants of
influence. who hire themselves out
on promises they can get govern
ment contracts for their clients.
Remedies Reported.
AS the investigations pointed
toward public hearings in about
two weeks. these proposals for
coping with IS per centers"
came today from Senator Hoey,
chairman of the Senate investi-
eating group, and Mr.. Larson:
/. Senator Hoey said the in
quiry might lead to a law requir-
ing registration of IS per cent
ers." Modelled after the act re-
quiring congressional lobbyists to
register. the Hoey proposal would
force the IS per centers to state
how much they are paid in the
way of salaries, retainers and ex-
pense accounts by businessmen
seeking government contracts.
2. Also being considered is
formal code of ethics for procure
ment officers. which would bar
procurement personnel from be-
coming over friendly with those
with whom they are doing busi-
ness. Procurement officers also
would be forbidden to refer har-
assed businessmen to "fixers" to
help them cut Government red
tape.
Simple Procedures Favored.
3. Mr.. Larson said he believed
the solution lay in making it
easier to do business with the
Government. The goal of his
agency's current work on pro-
curement regulations. he said, is
Ito make it so simple for a man
to do business with the Govern
ment that there will be no need
for this sort of thing"
4. Mr.. Larson also wants pro-
curement work to be decentral-
ized so that field Offices through
out the country have full author
ity to transact contract business.
That program. he said. would
make it unnecessary for business
men to come to Washington and
the "flxers" would find it harder
to get customers.
The agency head said he
thought it would be a year before

ing Government procurement. !

! Born at Harbor Beach, Mich.
on April 13, 1890. Justice Murphy
was the son of a country lawyer
He received his law degree from
the University of Michigan and
then engaged in an unusually va
ried list of activities, among
them:
Law clerk with a Detroit firm.
night law school teacher. chief
assistant to the United States
Attorney in Detroit. private law
practice, instructor in law at the
University of Detroit. judge of
Recorders Court in Detroit, pres
ident of the United States Associa-
ton of Mayors, last Governor Cen
eral of the Philippines, first High
Commissioner of the Philippines.
He was appointed Attorney Cen
eral on January l. 1899 He took
his Supreme Court seat on Febru-
ary S, 1910.
He is survived by brother,
George, judge in the Recorders
Court, Detroit, and a sister Mrs
Marguerite Teahan of Harbor
Beach.
AS an eligible bachelor. Justice
Murphy was popular in Washing
ton society for years. But because
of illness he was less active in the
period after World War II. He
was absent from the Supreme
Court bench at intervals in 1947
and 1948 because of illness. In the
latter year and in 1949 he took
treatments in Michigan for sciatic
neuralgia.
Perhaps the heaviest barrage of
criticism was aimed at him during
the sitdown strikes. He was called
a tool of Communists" and was
accused Of being "treasonable. "
President Roosevelt defended him
as a profoundly religious. able,
and law-abiding Governor"
Under the crusading direction of
Mr.. Murphy as Attorney General,
the Justice Department put on
sensational drives against Nazis,
Communists, spies. racketeers in
business. venal judges, labor ex-
tortionists and predatory political
machines. He set up a new division
to protect civil liberties and began
new investigation of the Ku Klux
Klan.
On the Supreme Court Murphy
usually aligned himself with the
liberal minority of Justices Black.
Douglas and Rutledge. Their names
appeared together time and again

efforts to corrupt public opinion

ing the issue will long be remem-
bered by union officials.
Backed Bridges Decision.
"The issue" he said. can be re-
solved only by discarding formal
tiles and adopting a realistic atti-
tude. recognizing that we are deal
ing with human beings and with

them the fruits OF their toll and
exertion. We are not here dealing
with mere chattels or articles OF
trade but with the rights or those
who toll. The statute must not be
interpreted or applied in mar
row or grudging manner"
Justice Murphy agreed with the
high tribunals decision to stop
Governments efforts to deport
Harry Bridges, West Coast labor
leader. In an opinion concurring
with the decision, he went further
to declare:
"The record in this case will
stand forever as a monument to
mans intolerance to man. Seldom
if ever in the history Of this Ma
ton has there been such a con-
certed and relentless crusade to
deport an individual because he
dared to exercise the freedom that
belongs to him as an individual
and that is guaranteed to him by
the COnStlCuClOn.
Received Tolerance Award.
Among his dissents, Justice
Murphy disagreed with majority
opinions holding that the father
of a German saboteur was guilty
of treason because he aided the
son; that officers searching an
arrested mans home for instru-
ments of a crime may seize evil
dence to convict him of an entirely

Popular in Capital Society.
Mr.. Murphy was widely known
for his religious fervor. A devout
Catholic, he once recalled that,
on entering college. his father
ordained" him to social priest
hood" The late George Cardi-
nal Mundelin of Chicago pro-
nounced' him a LAY bishop"
On entering the University of
Michigan. he said he did not
feel worthy of entering the priest
hood as his mother desired.
A bachelor. Mr.. Murphy was
popular in Washington society
and for time was known as one
of the Capitals most eligible
single men. He lived at the Wash
ington Hotel.
Mr.. Murphy had become close
friend of President Roosevelt in
the early 30s when they were
wrestling with relief problems.
They found during discussions at
Hyde Park that their social phi
losophies paralleled.
Prosecuted Political Machines.
1t was as Attorney General in
1889 that Mr.. Murphy waged an
amazing war on politicians of his
own Democratic Party. First to
fall was Tom Pendergast, head OF
the Kansas City machine, who
went to prison. Louisiana political
scandals were exposed.
Reports were circulated that the
Murphy whip was about to lash
out at Mayors Kelley of Chicago
and Hague of New Jersey. Then
came the Supreme Court appoint
ment.
On the high court bench Mr..
Murphy had a mystical. almost
priestly mien. An extremely mild
hammered man, his benign atti-
tude toward arguing lawyers was
emphasized by his softly spoken
questions.
His voice was not often heard
in the courts great marble cham
ber. But when he spoke his tone
was so low that sometimes attor-
neys had to step closer to him
and cup their ears to catch his
words.
Humility and Confidence.
His formal, written opinions as
we'll as his questions to lawyers
indicated a curious mixture of
elf-deprecation and humility with
confidence. Lawyers knew we'll
that his mannerisms masked de-
termined will and q fighting
spirit.
Justice Murphy's eyebrows. red
like his hair, were probably heav-
ier than the famous eyebrows of
John L. Lewis. But Justice Muir
phys set never seemed foreboding.
Rather they enhanced the impress
sion that his approach was like
that of a clergyman to the min
istry.
Courtroom visitors commented
on Justice Murphy's mystical ap-
pearance, but when they listened
to his earthly opinions they knew
his thoughts could dwell on hard
actualities.
Condemning third degree meth
ods used on an Oklahoma Negro
to get confession, Justice Mur-
ply said:
"An individual does not easily
forget the type of torture that &C
companied previous refusal to con-
fess. nor does a person so quickly
recover from the gruesome effects
of having a pan of human bones
placed on his knees in order to
force discriminating testimony
from him"
Defended >Minorities.
Time after time Justice Murphy
defended rights of the Jehova's
Witnesses. a sect which described
his beloved Catholic Church as a
"racketeer." In one of their nu-
merous cases before the Supreme
Court, Justice Murphy said:
