WASHINGTON" (NKA Special)
When Associate Justice Joseph
McKenna of the United States su
preme court resigns his Heat on
Unit high bench, us he Is under
stood to be about to do, hi will
have set a record as the most re-
signed gentleman In high official ,
circles. t
Back In the early 'SUs, after a
couple of terms as prosecuting
uttorney of Hnlund county, Cali
fornia, and a brief period in the
California legislature McKenna
was elected to congress.
in the midst of his fourth term
he was offered appointment, by
President Harrison, us United
States circuit Judge. Whereupon
he resigned as member of congress
and mounted the bench.
When McKlnlcy was elected
president, he spotted McKenna as
llkejy cabinet material and ten
dered him the post of attorney
general. So McKenna resigned
the judgeship and entered the
cabinet.
Within a year, however, Justice
Field having retired from the
supremo bench, the little lawyer
from the west was picked for the
vacant scat, and so resigned his
cuhlnctshlp.
That was 27 years ago. Since
then he has served continuously
on the supreme bench, being now
In point of service the oldest mem
ber of the court. Justice Holmes,
who Is two years older, is three
years younger iu service on the
bench.
- Physically frail and now In his
82d year, McKenna has decided to
resign once more, this time retir
ing to the quiet of private life for
the few years that perhaps remain
to him. -
The scrapplngest member of
tho supreme court, however Is its
oldest member Oliver Wendell
Holmes. Justice Holme, son of the'
Oliver Wendell who helped make
Boston the American literary cen
ter of the mid-19th century, is In
his 84th year.
And although rumor . also has
attached itself to . him a about
ready to resign the seat he has
held for 22 years, it is now con
sidered certain he will outlast Mc
Kenna on the court.
Juutlce- Holmes" Iihs an unviable
military record as well us Judicial
record behind him. Within a
month after he, "? won', graduate

The Interview with . the chief

through the cooperation of. Henator

during which time he described the

und extended the Invitation lo the
president and his official family,
I'resldent Coolldge. while indicat

Uound-rp was not probable, suld
that he was pleased thst his west

In this regard and thut he could
readily understand the value to
the nation In keeping alive the
witttcrn spirit. He extended his
greetings through tho visitor to
the civic organizations which are
buck of the llound-t'p.
