Asked why he elected to dem
onstrate the ladder before a score
of gawking court attaches, Judge
Stephens replied: why not, I'm
the chief judge, am I not?" The
only other court employe to test
the ladder has been Glenn Krent-
Ter, chief engineer for the 43-
Fyear-old Appellate building.
Judge Stephens dismissed the
50-foot descent as nothing to it"
He pointed out he formerly climbed
mountains in the West regularly
and that when he was a practising
lawyer representing mining COM
panies. he used to climb up and
down dark mine shafts with moth
ing but a miners headlamp to
light his way. Judge Stephens
still plays tennis frequently.
Associate Judge Bennett Champ
Clark, who has a considerably
more husky build than Judge
Stephens. was not on hand to
try the ladder today. Judge Clark S
office also is on the third floor.
Judge Stephens, in an aside to
reporters, confided that he keep
a similar ladder in his fourth floor
apartment at the Wardman Park

eide whether $4,000 can be used

crat, OF Maryland. The project

by the Army Engineers after a
preliminary survey authorized by

Chief Judge Harold NJ. Stephens
of the United States Court OF
Appeals today became the good
sport of the week of Judiciary
Square when he climbed three
floors down a precariously wob-
bling exterior fire escape ladder
of his court house in a demon
Stration for employees.
Judge Stephens, IS, shower not
a whit of hesitancy as he mounted
an iron chain and cross piece
ladder from his third-floor cham
bers. The ladder, which is similar
to those used on ships, will be
kept in his chambers from now
on as the only means of emer-
gency egreSS for some 13 court
officials and attaches who work
regularly on that floor.
The gadget, which is stored in
a large box and is connected by
hooks to radiator pipes, augments
two open stairways to the third
floor. The stairways, the chief
judge pointed out, however, might
we'll become "flues" for flames
and gases in the event of a fire
in the courthouse basement
where paint, oil and machinery

Firemen Integration
Al Session Friday

The House District COMMITTEES
today scheduled a closed session
Friday morning for another dis.
cussion of the order issued by tn.
Commissioners for integration o.
colored fremen into white fire
companies.
The Commissioners are being
asked to attend the session.
Action Postponed.
The announcement came unex-

no action on the subject this

turn to Washington of Commits
sioner F. Joseph Donohue. Mr.

His two bills would set aside
the order of the Commissioners
for racial integration in the Fire

competitive examinations for pro-
motions among colored firemen.

Leod. committee clerk, at the di-
rection of Chairman Mcmillan,

a general discussion with the Com
missoiners concerning several
problems. including the recent
order affecting the Fire Depart
ment."

some committee members that the
Commissioners might be asked to
hold UP the whole pending order
until next January. when Congress
will meet again. One member
commented that the present ses-
sion is nearing adjournment. An
other comment was that protests
over the Commissioner intergra-
ton order have been aowing.

He said he was planning another
session of his unit as soon as pos
Isible this week to act on a num-
ber of matters. including the Ire
Ian nomination.
The nominee was discussed
briefly at a special meeting of the
Judiciary Committee yesterday
afternoon. it was learned. But
NO official action could be taken,
Senator McCarran explained, be-
cause the official papers had not
arrived in time.
Maryland Senators Approve.
The nomination already has
been indorsed by both Senators
from Mr.. Irelan's home State of
Maryland - O'Conor, Democrat,
and Butler. Republican. Both are
members of the Judiciary group
Mr.. Irelan was named to sue
ceed George Morris Fay, who has
resigned effective October 81.
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
ranking Republican on the Ju-
dietary Committee, had urged At
torney General McGrath, i'm a
recent letter, to confer with the
District Bar Association on the
vacancy, before recommending
any one to the President for the
appointment.
After the committee session yes
terday, Senator Wiley said he was
sorry the Attorney General didn t
see fit to consult with the local
bar" before the nomination was
made.
At Home i'm Courthouse.
Mr.. Irelan will be right at home
in the District Courthouse. Even
before he was graduated from
National University Law School,
Mr.. Irelan was familiarizing him
self with court atmosphere.
Since then he has often ap-
peared here as principal trial at
torney for the Justice Depart
ment's Lands Division, a position
he has held for the last nine years.
President Truman's choice to
succeed Mr.. Fay had a first-rate
opportunity to become acquainted
with Washington, for he was born
here January 8, 1905.
For the last 20 years he and his
wife and two boys have lived on
