opposition to integration bad maoo
normal school conditions at Central
High impossible. It said the school

supreme court.
Holmet said "Sloan has one of
the most distinguished records of

hit age.'
"I have felt that without depre
cating the present members we
need many young and vigorous
members on the bench," the gov

backlog of cases and we need
someone capable of long hours of
hard work. Sloan will add real
strength to the bench," Holmes
