SUCCESSOR.
By Robert J. Bender
(United News Stuff Coricspondunt)
WASHINGTON, May 17 Chief
Justice White of the United States
supremo court has successfully un
dergone n operation which, in the
case of a younger man would bo
regarded as of minor importance but
which in th so of White's advanced
years, is such as to cause some
alarm.
While the operation was perform
ed last Thursday, ho is not yet ro
graded as having reached the crista
on tho road to recovery. He had a
rather bad n,ight Sunday but show
ed some Improvement late Monday.
His condition, however, will be re
garded as dangerous vntll the crisis
is safely passed.
It develops that White has known
for some timo thai ho would have
to undergo surgical treatment for
relief but because ot tho press of
Vork. postponed the operation until
last week.
Ilecauso of the vast political dis
cussion which for some weeks lias
involved the reported likelihood of
White having to letlro soon from
bench every e ort a n-a nt ,
I pointed out by Hushes' friends that
j since leaving the bench in 1010 he
I lias always cherished a desire to get
back. And among lepubllcan lead
ers, since Harding's inausuiation,
