Other critics take less sharp
views. But along the way he
has had his riffs with fellow
justices. He has had legal ex-
pertS asking if he exerts too
much influence. And he has
turned out reams of opinions
in a time when the Nation has
become increasingly conscious
of the role played by the Su-
preme Court.
1t has been a long road since
he arrived in this country as a
12-year-old immigrant from

law clerks, william Doollttle.
Justice Frankfurther, aided
by his secretary, Mrs. Elsie
Douglas. began opening the
multitude Of fluctuations while
the phone kept up a constant
tangling with birthday calls.
Later in the morning, the
Justice attended the regular
Friday conference of justices
In which they discuss pending
cases.
Evening to Be Quiet
The justice plans to spend a
quiet evening at home with his
wife Marion, who has been in
Ill health for some time. The
Frankfurthers live at 3018 Dunn
barton avenue, Georgetown. He
is the oldest of the justices,
from standpoint of age, now
serving.
It's hard to realize that this
man who went on the court at
a time when its members were
sharply criticized as being too
old is now quite an old party
himself.
It's hard to realize because,
like so many small men, Justice
Frankfurter has the quick
movements that make him
seem eternally youthful.
There he is in court, 5 feet 5
and bright eyed, perched on the
edge of the judicial chair, like
q small kingbird ready to
pounce on anything that in
vades his territory. And heav-
en- help the legal eagle who flies
into court unprepared.
Many critics think Justice
Frankfurter's court tactics date
back to his days as a Harvard
law professor: He can't get a
lawyer before him without
proving that teacher still knows
best and most.
Pupils Go Into Government
Certainly it was at Harvard
that he began encouraging
bright young men to go into
government, a process so sue
cessful that by 1945, when he
had been on the court for six
years, Representative Daniel

Powell Denies
$4,000 Graft
In FILA Deal

Clyde L. Powell denied under
oath today testimony Of a
Washington architect that
Powell lextorted $4,000 from
him in connection with Federal
financing of a housing project
here.
Testifying in United States
Tax Court, Powell was asked by
his attorney, Daniel B. Maher,
whether he. as Assistant Fed
eral Housing Commissioner, de-
manded that architect Albert
I. Cassell pay him $4,000.
II did not" Powell replied.
did Mr.. Cassell pay you any
sum of money!" Mr.. Maher
asked.
HE did not" Powell an
swered.
Mr.. Cassell testified yester-
day that Powell demanded and
got $4,000 from him before he
would approve the release of a
sos, 900 disbursement for May
fair Mansions. a Negro housing
development.
Minister Implicated
Mr.. Cassell further testified
that Elder Solomon Lightfoot
Michaux. a Negro minister who
became head Of the project,
told him to pass the money"
to Powell.
Elder Michaux, who preceded
Powell on the witness stand to-
day, testified that he never di-
rected Mr.. Cassell to pay money
to Powell. He said he had no
recollection of Mr.. Cassell ever
discussing the matter with him.
1T is againts the tenets of
our church to take any part in
a bribe," Elder Michaux said.
On trial in the tax court is
the Internal Revenue Services
claim against Powell for about
100000 in taxes, penalties and
interest for the years 1945-49.
The revenue service claims
Powell failed to report about
$4,000 of income for those
years Powell's home is in Buff
falo, Md, but he is living tenn
porarily with a sister in Pasa-
dena, Calf.
Gambling Cited
Powell testified yesterday
that he gambled heavily in
those years o nhorses, dice and
gin rulnmy and didn't report
his winnings because his losses
were even heavier.
When Mr.. Maher recalled
Powell to the stand today to
deny Mr.. Cassell'es testimony,
Paul E. Waring. a Government
lawyer, asked whether Powell
hahn't heard the same testi-
mony before the Senate Bank
ing COMMITTEE in 1854 during
an investigation of housing
scandals. Powell said that he
had.
Why didn't 70 utestify?" de-
manded Mr.. Warning.
"On advice of counsel"
Powell replied.
In refusing to testify before
the committee, Powell claimed
his answers to questions might
incriminate him. He took the
same position before a Federal
grand jury.
The tax hearing ended today,
but no decision is expected for
several months.

sion of increased pay in the
President Eisenhower in his
President, without mentioning
the report, said:
THE military services are I'M
derpaid. We must be fair with
them. Justice demands this,
but also compelling is the fac
tor of efficiency in our defense
forces. We cannot obtain and
retain the necessary level of
technical proficiency unless
officers and men, in sufficient
numbers, will make the armed
services their careers"
The Cordiner plan was the
result of a six-month study by
a committee headed by Ralph
j. Cordiner, General Electric
president. Basically. it pro-
poses to end the longevity sys-
tenn of pay and substitute an
incentive or productivity sys-
TEN.
It is estimated that the plan
would raise the pay of 80 per
cent Of the armed forces. Those
found unqualified for modern
military service would be re-
trained or selected out" Mr..
Cordiner put the first years
cost at about 5000 million. But
thereafter it is held there would
be net savings.
How much of the plan the
services may seek to put into
effect is under discussion. But
the reports recommendations
are the starting point for what
the services intend to do. It
was learned that a bill is to be
drawn UP. but before that there
will be conferences with lead
ers Of Congress on the bills
final form.
The Cordiner group declared
that inadequate Federal sal
aries in the middle and top
brackets were causing a ire
mendous turnover. For exam
pie, it was reported that the
losses of top scientists and en-
gineers in 1856 was four times
that Of 1851.
The same problem on the
civilian side has been grappled
with by the Committee on
Scientists and Engineers for
Federal Government Programs.
This committee made a report
which is said not to have been
approved yet for action. But it
is expected some action will be
taken and that recommended
tons based on this report will
be presented Congress in jan
uary.
JOBLESS COMPENSATION
"A reader poses this question
which, in this period of shifting
bureaus, probably affects more
persons than he alone: If a
Government employee whose
agency is shifted to another
city cannot 60 with it because
the move would mean a hard
ship, can he draw unemploy-
ment compensation?
Labor Departments Bureau
of Employment Security said
the answer is normally yes, but
that final determination lies
with the State where the en-
ploye resides.
The employe lives in Vir-
ginia. The Virginia Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commits
sion Office in Alexandria said
that normally the worker would
be entitled to compensation if
a suitable job could not be
found for him, but that each
case is decided on its merits.
The Labor Department had
pointed out that if it were
judged he was in the status of
a person who had quit his job.
he might be penalized by the
poStponement of benefits. The
Virginia Office regarded this as
a remote possibility. but said
it depended on whether he had
just cause for not following his
agency out of town. 1t advised
that the employe should consult
