Supreme Court justices, and
especially a Chief Justice, is a
matter of some disagreement.
Some members say it always has
been done.
In any event. at Mondays
meeting of the Judiciary Com
mittee. the view was expressed
that a nomination for Chief
Justice should be no exception
to the general rule. Some men,
bers were said to have taken the
position that it was more impor-
tant to have the benefit of an
FBI check in the case of a Chief
Justice than on a marshal or
district attorney.
No one voiced any objection
to this, it was reported, and
some committee members at
least left with the impression
that an FBI report was to be
obtained before any action was
taken on Mr.. Warren'S nolnina-
ton.
A subcommittee held a public
hearing on the nomination last
week. He was strongly supported
by bar groups and only one wit
ness appeared in opposition.
Senator LANCER said afterward.
however. that 81 documents in
opposition to Mr.. Warren had
been received and were beng
checked. He declined TO eval-
uate them. but other Senators
said at least some of them could
be characterized as crank"

BERLIN. Feb. 10.-Gambling
their freedom, hundreds of East
Germans have written to Secre-
tary Dulles urging him to stick
by his guns against Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov in the Big
Four conference
The American Secretary'S staff
disclosed today more than 500
letters have been received at
United States headquarters in
the past week cheering the
American, British and French
stand for free elections to unite
Germany.
Some of the letters addressed
to Mr.. Dulles warn him to be-
ware of Molotov duplicity. Most
of them recount the same argu-
mentS-that the Americans
should ignore Soviet zone claims
of 10 million signatures to a
petition backing Mr.. Molotov's
plan to entrench the Commu-
nists in joint East-West gov
eminent before any elections are
held. The signers said the entire
petition is gigantic fraud.
One writer said he had to sign
the petition 26 times. A man
from Thuringia said he was COM
PEELED to sign three times at
