Murphy as Judge
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-()-
Representative Hoffman (R-
Mich.) said today that if President
Roosevelt appointed Gore r nor
Frank Murphy ot Michigan to suc
ceed Attorney General Cummings,
"it would be an invitation to the
lawless."
Such an appointment, which has
been reported in the offing by sev
eral sources here, would "demon
strate the president's ntter lack of
respect for our constitutional gov
ernment," Hoffman said.
He added that it virtually would
mean that the president had made
"a tool of the .communists a mem
ber of his official family."
' During his term as governor,
Hoffman continued. Murphy "per
mitted armed men to invade our
state, to destroy property, to as
sault, beat and send to our hos
pitals defenseless, law-abiding cit
izens."
