Who Is Felix Frankfurter?
OF TITE many issues in the forthcoming presidential cam
paign, Mr. Felix Frankfurter will undoubtedly be one.
General Hugh Johnson recently proclaimed him to be the
"most influential single individual in the United States."
William Randolph Hearst
the Roosevelt administration," the strong and sinister villain
in the New Deal melodrama.
Variations will undoubtedly be played on these two themes,
by Republican spellbinders throughout the campaign, so in
formation concerning the man, may be considered more or less
pertinent at the present time.
rIAT Mr. Frankfurter has been, and is, influential in the
Roosevelt administration, can't be denied. lie is-a close
personal friend of the President's, was admitted to the bar
about the same time, and they were both members of the War
Labor Policies Board, during the Wilson administration.
Since President Roosevelt's inauguration Frankfurter has
often conferred with the President on matters of policy, and
hiis been influential in securing positions in the government
service of many "bright young men" graduates of the Har
vard Law School, where Mr. Frankfurter has been for many
years, a leading member of the faculty.
Because Frankfurter was born in Austria of Jewish par
ents, he has been condemned as an alien and sinister influence,
essentially un-American in his political concepts and tradi
tions, at heart a Russian Red.
NOTHING could be further from the truth. The best, evi
dence of the falsity and absurdity of such charges is the
fact that he is a leading member of the faculty of the Harvard
Law School; professionally and socially, his closest contact
are with the leading corporation lawyers of Boston, New York
.... . ... -i l. c nAnD.ilti.l k.r nntutnnrlinff

leaders in American Big Business and High Finance. Certainly
the big lawyers and business executives of the country, are not
so dumb as to take advice from a confirmed Bolshevik.
His chief advocation for many years has been his supplying
of bright and promising young men, for the leading law firms
of the country, his recommendation being nuiversnlly accepted,
as prima facie evidence of the applicants fitness, by training
character and intellectual attainments, for valuable and dis
tinguished service.
Moreover, he is not as Hearst
man." He has not onlv a brilliant and a plastic mind, but is
a great talker. His political, economic and social views are well
known. Independent and liberal be is, but as Rtrongly opposed
to Russian Communism, as he is to Italian Fascism or the Hitler
dictatorship in Germany.
THE basis for the claim he
individual in the United
fact, he is frequently called in by the President for consulta
tion, and has, as before stated, supplied many young men for
government service, during the present administration.
But it is doubtful if he has been called in by the 'resident
any more than many other of the President's close friends.
There is no' evidence the President defers to his judgment, any
more than to the judgmont of a dozen other prominent citi
zens, close to the administration, while his naming of young
men for government service, has been no greater than a similar
service to leading law firms in the Hast, which as before staled,
is his chief exlra-curric'iilnr activity, and has been for the past
25 years.
IT HAS been stated Professor Frankfurter was the father
of N.R.A. This is as completely false as most of the other
charges against the man. He had nothing whatever to do with
N.R.A Had he been its "papa," it very likely would not have
been declared unconstitutional. For Mr. Frankfurter knows his
Constitution and knows his law. The man who came to this
country at the age of 12, not knowing a word of Knclish, and
TEN years' Inter, wns leading his class through the intense
competition of the Harvard Law School, with a command of
English including the American idiom, far superior to most of
his native born colleagues, wouldn't be likely to pull a boner
in the realm of technical constitutional legalities.
FINALLY Mr. Frankfurter is not a dyed in the wool Demo
crat, nor can he be classified as a partisan in any sense of
the term. He started his public career in fact, as Assistant I'.
S. Attorney, under Mr. Henry L. Stimson, in New York stnte,
and for many years wns Mr. Stinison's right hand man, the
latter, later serving as Kneretary of War. under Taft and Sec
retary of Slate, in the Hoover administration.
THIS brief sketch may give some idea of the type of man,
Professor Frankfurter really is. It will not prevent, his
being condemned as the "sinister alien and radical force in the
Roosevelt administration" "hen the campaign gels under way.
No mnlter bow thin it may be sliced Frankfurter will still be
called Frankfurter 1
But the facts and the truth presented now, may prevent a
few people hereabouts from falling for this particular brand
of unadulterated whang doodle. At least we hope so.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
BIGGEST political news of the
week.
Senator Borah announces, formally
and definitely, that If liberal forces
In the Bepuollcan party WANT him
tc be he WILL BE a csndldats for
tne Republican nomination for Presi
dent. That is Important because Borah Is
one of the few Republicans who
might bs a bis to defeat Roosevelt.
IN this column h other day, the
opinion was expressed that the
present polltlcaj upheaval In this
country will end a long way short of
where the radicals want to go and a
long way ahead of where the conser
vatives wsnt to stop.
Borah, as Judged by his record,
comes pretty close to being the man
nho fits this trend.
BIO news Is In the making, as In
dicated by this Associated Press
dlspstch from London:
"The British government was stated
;y a reliable source today (Saturday)
to bs considering further precaution
ary measures agslnst the possibility
cf a warlike act on the part of Pre
mier Mussolini of Italy because of
Great Britain's determination to en
force sanctions sgainst Italy."
The British expect the attack, if
lc comes, In Egypt.
DOES Mus3oUnireaTly think he can
whip Qreat Britain? (France, as
jou have probably observed, doesn't
aim to fight Mussolini, whose Ethi
opian adventure she Is reported to
have OK'd before he began It.)
Well, here Is an interesting angle
on that, contained In this same As
sociated Press dispatch from London
"The attack fears (that Is, Musso
lini's attack on Brltsln) appear to be
bused on a belief In some quarters
that Mussolini eventually will have to
sue for peace on terms offered by the
league of nations or else try some act
ol desperation."
f-f
WHAT does that mean?
Well, It might mesn that rath
er ther ht starved" out Mussolini
would prefer to attempt the Impos
sible, such as picking a quarrel with
Britain, so that he could say to his
ptople: "The odds against us, you
tee, have become TOO GKEAT. Wed
better submit, rather than be anni
hilated." That would bs a rather graceful
way of letting go of a poker that had
iwcome too hot.
N reading these reports, remember
that a lot of them are bluff. Dip
lomats and dictators work that way.
But they do show the possibilities
of trouble that exists In Europe.
If we had got Into the league of
nations, we'd be up to our necks right
now in all this mess of trouble, with
plenty of possibilities of being drug
ged Into whatever wars the diplomats
and the dictators of Europe rig up.
Senator Borah, you will remember,
was one of those principally responsi
ble for KEEPING US OUT of the
league of nations.
That indicates that he Is gifted
,jth a reasonable measure of HORSE
SENSE. Common horse sense is a tre
mendously valuable quality right
now.

the party Just to see the children
enjoy themselves and not one of them
was able to hold back the tears, tears
brought not by sorrow but by the
Joy of seeing the under-privileged
children having a happy time.
Many pathetically humorous situa
tions were recalled today. One boy.
for Instance, began eating so rapidly
that he soon became sick. He wss at
the first table and when he recov
ered Mr. Gates sympathised with him
and expressed sorrow that he did not
enjoy the dinner.
"Please, Mr. aOtes," he said, "I'm
all right now, and if you'll let me est
st the second table I'll bs able to fin
ish my dinner without getting sick
again."
He was permitted to sit at the sec
ond table And, eating more slowly, he
enjoyed the bounteous feast.
One little girl displayed a craving
for celery. She ate all her own and
then ate what children near her did
not want. And when she was ready
to leave she tucked two stalks Into
her hat.
Mr. Gates observed thst the chil
dren from Medford drsnk much more
milk thsn those from the rural sec
tions. One city youngster, he re
cslled. drank six bottles, two and a
half quarts, besides consuming all hie
dinner with extra helpings of turkey
and pumpkin pie. The children drsnk
on an average of two bottles of milk
each.
One woman who came to see the
children cried very frsnkly and when
she dried her tears she wrote a check
for 26 and offered it to Mr. Gates
to help pay for the banquet. When
Mr. Gates said he could not accept it.
she stated:
"Well, I'm going to spend it on
the children anyway. You have taught
us all the real meaning of Christ
mas." W. A. Gates and William H. Lydtard

that silence, at least, is golden. His
earlier planned tactics of going out
and milking speeches everywhere is
being quietly abandoned. He will
make one big speech, in Cleveland,
next month, but no others.
Root of antagonism to Mr. Borah
among the wise men is that they
have marked him off as an lnflatlon
I They like his line on the consti
tution. They know he would prob
ably make as good a campaign on
that Issue as anyone else. At least
he knows that subject better than
anyone else.
But he has made some Inflationary

votes in the senate.
As between the constitution snd

Old timers tell of a prominent po

They told him the double chin wss
