FRANKFURTER HELD MOST
UKF.I.V SliCC'liRD CARDOOZO
REGARDED WIDELY AS
GREAT LAW SCHOLAR
ROSE FROM IMMIGRANT
TO PROMINENCE
FEW UIF.-IIAHDS SEEN
ONLY OPPOSITION
WASHINGTON, July - IB. Felix
Frankfurter, organizer of American
liberalism, has the beat chance to In
herit the robes of Justice Cardozo.
The president has yet to consider the
problem of Justice Cardozo's succes
sor, but both the facta of the equ
ation and authoritative information
give Frankfurter an Important advan
tage when the moment of choloe
comes.
The reason for Franfurter'a advan
tage may be discerned In a memor
able conservation between President
Hoover and Senator William E. Boran.
The greatest man of his age. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, had Just left the
supreme bench, and Hoover had sum
moned the somewhat erratic lion of
Idaho to discuss the vacancy. The
name of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo
was mentioned. Hoover protested
that, being a New Yorker. Cardozo
had sectional considerations against
him. - .... . ..
"Mr. President," said ' Borah, "it
doesn't matter what state Judge Car
dozo comes from. He Is Idaho's can
didate, and I venture to say that he
Is the candidate of the United States."
Still dissatisfied, Hoover pressed
the claims of a Callforta Judge In tne
lower federal courts, Borah was ob
stinate, and at last Hoover asked
htm what objection he had to the
Callfornlan.
"I object to him," said Borah, "on
the entirely sufficient grounds of ob
scurity." Thus It was that a sweet and noble
spirit came to wear a Justice's robia.
If it were possible, Benjamin Nathan
Cardozo added a new lustre to the
place on the bench which Holmes'
memory made so hard to fill. And
now the president faces Hoover's
problem to fill that place again. Tim
president must find another man who
will! be the candidate of neither
group nor section, who will be a
scholar of the law. and who will com
mand the respect of reasonable men
In spite of the misrepresentations
of recent years, few would deny that
Felix Frankfurter Is both a national
figure and a great scholar of the
law. His scholarship was admired by
Cardozo. and cherished by Holmes,
whose best friend he was. If others
do not. Holmes and Cardozo at least
thought him their fit successor.
Indeed, there would be an obvious
appropriateness In the choice of
Frankfurter. For decades, he has
fought tha same battles as the new
deal Is fighting today. When the new
deal dawned, he acted as a sort of
one-man government employment
agency, sending to Washington scores
of the young liberals whom he had
Inspired and guided. In spite of ra-

Irish Flabbergasted
By Surprise Arrival
In Dilapidated Ship
BALDONNEL AIRPORT, DUBLIN, Ireland, July 18 (fl) An antiquated
single -motored American airplane fluttered down here this afternoon
after Its owner, 31-year old Douglas Corrigan, had pushed it across the
Atlantic in a surprise, unsanctioned flight from New York.
It taxied across the field and wheez
ed to a stop. Flabbergasted Irish air
port officials rushing to the machine
saw a grinning pilot climb out.
"I'm Douglas Corrigan," he aai.d.
"Just got In from New York.
"It took me 28 hours and 13 min
utes." Tve plane came down from a rain
streaked sky at 3:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m.,

Corrigan had token off from Floyd
Bennett airport on a flight "to Cal
ifornia" and with no permit for a
transatlantic crossing.
"Where Am I?"
"By the way, where am I?" the
filer asked 'the gathering Irish crowd.
The gaping Irish looked at Corri
gan, at his plane and its nearly emp
ty gasoline tanks, Uien back at the
cheerful, young pilot, dressed in lea
ther Jacket and trousers.
Broad smiles broke, and brogues
began.
"Corrigan, eh?" asked one Dublln

"Not bad," was Corrigan's reply.
"There was not much to It. r flew
over the clouds all the time and nev

coast. The weather was good.
Then, quite belatedly, attendants
thought of landing papers and asked
Corrigan for them.
"Forget it," he said, yawning. '1
thought it was California all ths
time."
Corrigan's plane, of the vintage of
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's "Spirit of
St. Louis," was believed to be capa
ble of only about 100 miles an hour.
The plane Lindbergh, flew to Paris

'Sneak' Hop Over Ocean
Without Instrument Aid
By Associated Press
Before Douglas Corrigan arrived
unheralded In New York slightly more
than a week ago, his name was
known only to pilots and west coast
aviation experts. They ranked him
as a fine craftsman, and a man who
new airplanes thoroughly.
Completely tfiut off from the pub
lic eye because of the preparations
for the Howard Hughes Tound the
world flight, he landed in New York
in his nine year old plane, on which
he personalty put a valuation of t900.
after a 38-hour non-stop flight from
Long Beach, Calif. ,
Experienced airmen were unani
mous In acclaiming this feat, but
tt:ey were astounded today by his un
scheduled flight to Ireland In a plane
which had few of the modern aides
to flying.
The untalkatlve but argreeablc
transport pilot had his seat behind
bulky gasoline tanks which obstruct
ed his vision to such an extent ti:at
he had to "bank" his 1929 Curtlss
Robin plane when he wanted to look
ahead on his course.

in equipment and weight to that
used by Charles A. Lindbergh when

ROOSEVELT FIELD, New York,

to express his amazement, Howard

"It's very, very remarkable."

The knob had come off the cabin

baling wire hooked around a nail.
WASHINGTON, July 18. -The
Atlantic flight of Douglas P. Corri
gan In a homemade plane frankly
flabbergasted the air commerce bu
reau today. (
Officials - were so astonished that
they could not think immediately
what to do about Corrigan's hopping
off without a permit.
One official said "it ain't right."
Corrigan neither asked nor receiv
ed a permit to fly to Europe. Regu
lations provide for penalties ranging
from a fine to revocation of a pilot's
license In such cases.
Dennis P. Mulligan, chief of the
air commerce bureau, said he had
postponed the question of punish
ment. "It's a great day for the Irish," he
commented with a broad grin.
Instead of worrying about Corri
gan's punishment, Mulligan said,
right now I went to make every ef
fort to keep him from flying back."

All Mills, Logging Opera
tions Closed by Proclama
tion Restriction to Be
Lifted As Danger Ebbs
All mill and logging operatiohs in
the forest areas of the state were
suspended by proclamation today as
fire hazards remained high and re
serves were called upon to take up
the fight against blazes that were
set last week in a series of electric
storms over five consecutive days.
The proclamation was Issued by
Gov, Charles H, Martin. It applies
to all forest lands, state, national
and private, within Oregon, forest
executives here said.
The temporary restriction applies
to sawmill, logging and truck opera
tions, wood cutting and slash and
other clean-up burning. No burning
permits may be Issued during the
life of the proclamation. It was in
dicated the restrictions will be lifted
as soon as the present critical period
ends. .
Situation Worse.
State forest fires in Jackson and
Josephine county took a turn for
the worse over the week-end. Today
two big fires were raging in Jack
son county. One covered about 160
acres, and was situated on Round
Top In the Evans valley district, A
crew of 25 fresh men was thrown on
the fire lines today,.
..Another fire, covering 300 acres,
was. -raging uphlUac the head of
Sams creek tn Sams valley. Fifty ad
ditional men, drawn from blister
rust control crews, were- put on
the fire today.
A 160 -acre fire northwest of the
Hilton hop yards In Josephine county
was still out of control. It had
spread over 160 acres and farmers
of the district were helping the
trained f Ire-fighters. Another large
fire In Josephine county, at Elk
mountain, was reported under con
trol. Sleeper Fires Found
All. other state forest fires In
Jackson county were under control.
Fires on the Rogue River national
forest also were reported under con
trol. Three "sleeper" fires were dis
covered yesterday, another one in
the Union Creek district today. All
were small blazes.
Meantime smoke and haze over
the valley reduced visibility so low
that the Rogue River national forest
called Its entire emergency patrol
to duty. The men were patrolling
forest roads and highland areas where
lightning had concentrated In an
effort to aid lookouts In spotting
fires.
Rogue River national forest head
quarters sent 28 CCO men from
Camp Applegate and 26 from Camp
South Fork and six mules to help
fight fires on the Siskiyou national
forest.
(By the Associated Press)
Dangerous fires pierced the deep
coolness of the Oregon forest country
today but , lower temperatures and
Improvement' in humid conditions
eased slightly one of the gravest mt-n
aces In years.
A fire resulted in huge losses In
the 800 -acre experimental grazing
project on burned over land in Clat
sop county. About ISO acres sown
with 40 varieties of seed was re
duced to fine ash. Two hundred
CCC youths, directed by the state
experiment supervisor, Herbert
Howell, moved out 1600 head of stock
pastured on a tract set aside In on
effort to recapture land values lost
In a previous blaze. One CCO worker
was Injured by a falling snag.
Only about 60 acres of timber has
been burned In the Clatsop fires and
recent small blame were blamed upon
berry pickers.
Smoke from three fires burning out
of control In the Siskiyou mountains
of southern Oregon and the embers
from scores of small fires handicap
ped airplane reconnaissance.
Haze Covers Area
The haze was so thick It was al
most Impossible to locate some 630
fighters and gain an accurate check
on the burning areas. About 2300
acres, much of it unmercan table tim
ber, was ablaze In the Chetco dis
trict. An east wind provided a ser
ious menace.
The fire was 36 miles from the
coast and about 10 miles from roads.
An almost inaccessible fire burned
on Rocky ridge tn the Illinois river
tributary. Noma creek, but little val
uable timber was in its path. A stand
of marketable timber was burning
at the head of Gal toe creek.
One man was reported arrested at
