over in the process, so that it
has become almost axiomatic
among some lawyers that if a
person is ambitious to reach the
Supreme Court, judicial experi
ence seems to be more of a han
dicap than otherwise."
So that his frank observations
about judicial appointments
may not be misconstrued or in
terpreted as a campaign for his
own promotion, Judge Knox
states: "I am supremely hap
py in my position, because I'd
rather be a judge in my own
right than one-ninth of a court,
and I don't know if I'd even ac
cept a Supreme Court appoint
ment if it were offered, which I
am sure it will not be."
FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS:
Experienced Jurists Should Be
Promoted to Highest Tribunal
All judges sjiould be appointed for life and greater considera
tion should be given to judicial experience and the promotion of
district court jurists in filling higher U. S. court vacancies, Fed
eral Judge John C. Knox declares in the December American
magazine.
While he doesn't criticize any
specific appointments, the chief
judge in the southern New York
district makes it plain that he
thinks competent lower court
justices as well as judicial expe
rience are overlooked too fre
quently in the selection of judges
for higher U.S. courts.
State, county and even muni
cipal judges should be appoint
ed for life, he says, so that they'll
be able to mete out justice
without regard for political ex
pediencies. It's a great handicap,
Judge Knox agrees, to require a
judge to be a politician to re
main a judge under a system
which requires him to seek re
election every so many years.
While stating in a signed arti
cle that "I don't want to Imply
that there is any lack of ability
in the present Supreme Court,"
the venerable judge, a democrat
who was appointed to the feder
al bench nearly 32 years ago,
adds:
"In the present Supreme
Court there are only three men
Chief Justice Vinson, Justice
Minton, and Justice Black who
have had prior experience on the
bench, and Justice Black's was
confined to a service of about
18 months.
"I think more judges ought to
be advanced to positions - of
higher importance, If they are
worthy of promotion, and that
men in lower courts should feel
that promotion is the reward of
ability and competence, just as
it Is in other careers.
"If experience Is worth while
In other professions, I can't for
the life of me see why it should
n't be where the courts are con
cerned, but it doesn't always
seem to be.
"Upon occ a i o n I have
thought that some of the ap
pointees were selected because
of t h e i r economic, social, or
should we say? political points
of view , . .
"In fact, over the years, many
appointees have had no judicial
experience at all, and many
good judges have been passed

Pan-American to Prove 'Yes'
Seattle, Dec. 1 (U.R) Is there a Santa Claus? To the skeptics,
Pan American World Airways says "sure!" And offers to prove

Airlines officials today offered to produce a signed letter from
the old gentleman for any child whose parents will follow a
simnle set of rules.
Fairbanks Alaska, has been
officially designated by Santa
Claus as the post office nearest
to the north pole. He's sending
a special dog sled from his Arc
tic headquarters to the Pan
American office at Fairbanks.
Here are the instructions:
1. The parents must write
letters to their youngsters! and
sign them "Santa Claus."
2. Place the letters in airmail
envelopes stamped with six cents
postage and addressed to the
boy or girl. Allow room on the
left hand side of the envelope
for Santa's picture which will
be stamped on by the airline.
3. Take the letters to a district
sales office or put them in an
other envelope and send to Pan
American World Airways, 1302
4th ave., Seattle, attention Santa
Claus.
4. The letters must reach
Seattle or district sales offices
not later than Monday, Dec. 12,

three minutes for the round-trip
by dog sled to the north pole,
the airlines will return the mail
to the states.
Rescue Party Finds All 6
C-54 Airmen Perished
Longview, Wash., Dec. 1 W) Whether to attempt to retrieve
the bodies of six airmen from the snow-covered, blizzard-swept
sides of Mt. St. Helens or to leave them there until spring was
to be decided today by air force officials.
The shattered C-54 transport was located by a search party
yesterday 7,000 feet up at Mud-J1
dy glacier on the 9,671-foot high
mountain. But the only two
members of the party actually to
reach the wreckage Robert
Quoidbach of Longview and
Corp. LeRoy LaVigne of Vir
ginia, Minn. said they found
no bodies inside the plane.
Quoidbach estimated it would
be next June before a ground
party could safely search the
treacherous mountain sides for
the bodies.
The ground party was forced
to return to its base camps last
night by a driving snowstorm
and frigid 50 - mile - an - hour
winds.
The C-54 crashed nine days
ago on a training flight from Mc
Chord air force base near Ta
coma, Wash., to Portland, Ore.
Stanton Patty, Longview Daily
News reporter who accompanied
the search party, said the plane's
tail section was buried in the
snow, about 150 feet from the
hardly-dented fuselage.
"The main landing gear was
on a ledge 100 feet or so higher
up the slope," Patty continued.
"Nobody knows precisely where
the plane crashed, but some as
sume it crashed near the top of
the mountain and tumbled on
down."
Chief Needs Help

, It occurred sometime Tues

century.

Patty said Quoidbach and La
Vigne let themselves down i
50-foot cliff by rope to inspect
the wreckage.
"They said the interior 'of the
fuselage showed four smashed
seats, four cracked windows and
a pair of overalls. The inter
phone and microphone were in
tact on their rack, even though
the fuselage may have rolled
more than 1,000 feet."
Seals Will Be
Sold at Booths
As has been the custom for
many years, booths will be es
tablished in public places for the
purpose of selling Christmas
seals to those persons who did
not receive them through the
mails.
These booths will be set up
this week in the post office lob
by for operation from 9 a. m. to
5 p. m.; the Kress store from
11 a. m. to 5 p. m. as well as
Friday evenings; Montgomery
Ward from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m.,
and Friday evenings, and Ladd
and Bush bank from 10 a. m. to
3 p. m.
Although the seal sale will
continue through December, A.
L. Schaefer, president of the
Marion County Tuberculosis
and Health association, sponsor
ing agency, states "we would
greatly appreciate having re
turns made promptly." Early
returns would ease the load of
the post office during the Christ
mas rush, he points out.
Total returns to date are $4,
242.15, approximately the same
as a year ago at a similar date.
Duty-free Goods
In Western Europe
Paris, Dec. 1 yp) American
tourists will soon be able to
tote their souvenirs, perfumes
and new dresses from one west
ern European country to anoth
er without paying customs duty.
An agreement was reached
yesterday between 18 Marshall
plan countries creating a single
uniform list of goods overseas
visitors can carry in duty free.
No date was set for putting
the list into effect, but' it was
hoped most of the countries
could start by Jan. 1.
The agreement affects all ov
erseas visitors, including Ame
ricans, but does not permit ci
tizens from one Marshall plan
country to carry the listed goods
to another.
"Megacyle" as used In radio
is the measurement of frequen
cy, meaning that the rate of vi
bration is at 1,000,000 cycles per
second.

Use Chalet
Lausanne, Switzerland, Dec. 1
VP) Arrangements for Film Star
Rita Hayworth and her husband,
Prince Aly Khan, to move to
their winter chalet around
Christmas time led to the belief
today she expected her baby be
fore that time.
Aly and Rita have been in
Lausanne for nearly a month
and have made secret reserva
tions at Montchoisi Maternity
clinic here. No word has leaked
out as to when Rita expects to
enter the clinic.
Rita lives in almost complete
seclusion while she awaits the
birth of her baby. When she
does leave her hotel suite she is
always accompanied by Prince
Aly or his half-brother, Prince
Sadruddin.
Outside the prince's family the
couple receives few visitors. Ri
ta made a rare exception when
Actress Constance Bennett came
to the hotel last week-end. The
only other outsiders to come to
her suite are her French teacher
and her hairdresser.
