A 12-year-old who engineered
Ia 1888 bank burglary, and six
oher boys who shared the loot,
were in custody today after a
brief taste of ill-gotten prosperity.
All were rounded up last night,
trapped by their big spending, a
few hours after the Industrial
Bank of Washington, Eleventh

victimized in surprising fashion.
The money was taken from

While this boy remained out

Solicitor General Simon E.
Sobeloff at last can serve on the
court to which he was appointed
year ago.
Overriding strong Southern
opposition, the Senate last night
voted. GA to 10, to confirm Presi-
dent Eisenhower's nomination of
Mr.. Sobelof to be a Judge Of the
United States Fourth Court of
Appeals.
The nomination was the most
hotly disputed Of any submitted
by Mr.. Eisenhower this session.
Southern Senators had blocked
the appointment for more than
a year, contending Mr.. Sobeloff
is "prejudiced" against the
South on the school segregation
Issue.

Mr.. Sobeloff has been solicitor

last week. Federal Judge John
Paul told the city to start de-
segregation this fall but the city's
counsel announced that the case
would be appealed.
Three similar cases have been
fled in Arlington. Newport News
and Norfolk. These have not yet
been heard in Federal District
Court but whatever the outcome
it is believed there will be an
appeal from either side.
Also apt to wind up before the
Fourth Circuit again is the
Prince Edward case. which was
involved in the original Supreme
Court segregation decision. The
County has never started to de-
segregate, and the case is pend
ing before a three-judge court.
Philosophy Challenged
Senator Erwin said a review of
Mr.. Sobeloff's public utterances"
showed that "he embraces a con-
stitutional philosophy which
renders him unfit for service as
a circuit judge"
Senator Eastland, Democrat
of Mississippi, called Mr.. Sobe-
loft IAN extreme left winger."
Senator Russell, Democrat Of
Georgia, said it appeared to have
been established that Mr.. Sobe-
loft believed the Federal Courts
have legislative powers.
But Senator Dirksen, Republic
can of Illinois. supporting the
nomination, said this view was
held by responsible Southern
legal authorities, too. He read

on desegregation. Senator john
ston. Democrat Of South Caro-
lima. who fought his conf1rma-
ton the hardest, said that his
speeches show a judicial philos-
ophy wholly foreign to the Amer
lean constitutional concept"
The passage that drew their
fire was one in which Mr.. Sobel-
of frankly called the Supreme
Court lin many instances the
final formulator of national
policy" This is view held III
many respectable judicial circles,
but Mr.. Sobeloff's candid voic-
ing of it caused him much grief
in the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee.
During the months while his
nomination was hanging fire
Mr.. Sobeloff rather noticeably
drew in his horns oratorically
speaking. Still he and his wife
Irene, a Slow-spoken, quick
witted woman devoted to his
interests, continued their social
rounds as before. A convivial
man. he loves people and
parties, and his laugh, which be-
gins as a purr. frequently rings
out. I'm give you a story on
that" is q familiar gambit of
his.
Enjoys His Work
At 81 Mr.. Sobeloff is an
ivory-skinned. gray-haired, i'm
maculately groomed man, who
patiently enjoys his work and his
associations. AS Solicitor Gen.
eral he has had the job of di-
recting the flow of litigation
from the lower courts to the Su-
preme Court and to argue many
of the cases himself.
THE object" he has said, "is
not merely to win victories, but
to establish justice"
AS the Governments chief adj
vocate he must also demon
strate moral courage. Mr.. So
beloff dug in his heels on the
Peters case, a crucial test of the
Governments loyalty security
program. When he was dis
trict attorney in Baltimore he
once said of an informer in a
prohibition case: If the paid
informer is a nuisance the self
serving volunteer is an abomina-
ton" Mr.. Peters, a discharged
Government employee. appealed
his case on the grounds that he
had a right to face his accusers.
The Government disagreed and,
in the face of Mr.. Sobeloff's
suggestion that it confess error
in the case, went forward. Mr..
Sobeloff refused to sign the
brief, an action that caused a
countrywide stir.
Baltimore friends regarded this
as entirely in character" and a
brave thing to do. Mr.. Sobeloff,
who has always been ambitious,
did not do it lightly.
They predict smooth sailing
for him now. They say he al
ways knew what he wanted, at
the bar. and in life.

judge dissented, and it took some
seven months Of cajolery and
maneuvering behind the scenes
before Mr.. Sobeloff took his oath
of Office.
Confirmation Long Delayed
The second pause in his prog
ress came, of course, with the
recent year-long delay in his con-
flrmation as a judge. Mr.. Sobel-
of chafed somewhat during this
period Of suspended action. His
mother, who is 81, and from
whom he inherits his gregarious-
ness and storytelling bent. re-
garded the whole thing as a piece
of impertinence hardly to be
borne.
Her feelings for her son Simon
were adequately summed up when
he was sworn in as Solicitor
General in February, 1854. Gov
Iernor McKeldin, bubbling over
as usual, said Isn't this a great
honor they are paying Simon?"
"He deserves it," she responded
tersely.
Now that Mr.. Sobeloff'S career
is back on the track, his friends
anticipate it will end with a seat
on the Supreme Court bench. It
is regarded as highly probable
that when the time comes, he
will take the place of another
close friend. Justice Felix Frank
furter.
Gov. McKeldin, as always,
stands ready to put in a word.
Their friendship goes back to
1927, when they were young men
in the Office of Mayor William
F. Broening, Mr.. McKeldin as
the Mayors secretary, and Mr..
Sobeloff as deputy city solicitor
Wrote McKeldin Speeches
In his subsequent campaigns
for Mayor and Governor, Mr..
McKeldin made ample use of his
friends undeniable literary gifts.
With Galen L. TAFT, Mr.. Sobel-
of wrote all of the candidates
speeches. Mr.. McKeldin has
never made a major political de-
cision without Mr.. Sobeloff' S
counsel. Through the years, he
appointed Mr.. Sobeloff city
solicitor of Baltimore, head of
the So-called Sobeloff Commits
sion on Government reorganiza-
ton, and in 1852. chief Judge of
the Maryland Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Sobelof was the first Jew
ever to sit on the States highest
court, and the fifth Jew in the
history Of the United States to
become the ranking judge of a
State.
An ardent Zionist, who is
stepped in Hebrew lore, and
taught at his temple school as
a boy. Mr.. Sobeloff has convert
ed the Governor to the cause
of Zionism.
Mr.. Sobeloff's liberal views are
well known; so is his skill in
articulating them. He is an in
veterate speaker, tremendously
in demand in Jewish circles and
at judicial gatherings.
Praised by Mencken
A perfectionist, he writes his
own speeches. He has tremen-
dous pride of authorship, going
back to the days when, as a
court-appointed investigator of
the Baltimore Trust failure, he
wrote a report that drew the
praise Of his hard-to-please fell
ow-townsman, H. L. Mencken,
for Its racy flavor"
Ironically enough. one Of his
many speeches provided fodder
for his Southern critics, who op-
posed Mr.. Sobeloff primarily be-
cause of bis argument before the

The chances are that when he
takes his place on the Federal
bench at long last. Mr.. Sobelof1
will be one of the latter"
Those who remember his con.
duct during his year as Chief
Judge Of the Maryland Court OF
Appeals recall their amaze
ment" at his kindness, his
patience with bumbling lawyers
Their amazement came not from
any belief that he lacked those
qualities himself, but because
his contempt for the slow
minded" as one old friend ex-
pressed it, has been marked
since the beginning Of a long
public career.
King Concept Opposed
They recall, too, that he once
went out of his way to express
sympathy for some unlucky ap-
pellantS who had been grievous-
ly injured through no fault OF
their own, but who could get nc
redress from the law because il
wasn't really anyone else's fault
either.

Simon" said a former colleague
Mr.. Sobelof is also on record
against the "little-king" con-
cept Of judgeship that seems to
prevail in some circles. He
thinks appellate review of SEN
fences might be in order.
1T has been very impressive
to me-" he once told a judicial
conference, that the law is SO
solicitous of the defendant in
safeguarding his rights at every
stage of the trial before the
verdict, and yet leaves him COM
pletely without protection when
he stands before the Judge to be
sentenced"
Backed by McKeldin
Armed with these humani-
tartan concepts, Mr.. Sobeloff
leaves his job as Solicitor Gen.
eral = which is generally re-
garded in the legal profession as
the choicest post in the Govern
ment. Quite suitably, he will
take the place of Judge Morris
A. Soper, who over 40 years ago
gave him his first job in the
legal world-as Judge Soper's
clerk.
The name, Morris Soper, re-
ours in the life history of Mr..
Sobeloff, whose steady rise from
a Baltimore boyhood on the
wrong side of the tracks has
been stalled only twice. Another
name is that of his political
patron, Theodore R. McKeldin
of Maryland, whose outlook is
so harmonious he enthusiast
cally refers to the new Judge as

One of seven children of i'm

Mr.. Sobeloff's drive, capacity,
industry and gift for fortunate
friendships were rewarded by
