Reed, a Kentucky's doctor's son who scaled the judicial heights and wrote some of the nati6n's key civil rights decisions, ends a 19-year career in the Supreme Court today. Reed, a bald 72, announced his retirement last Jan. 21, "be cause I am 72 years old" and the strain of his heavy court labors "no longer seems wise." Appointed by FDR Appointed to the nation's high est court by the tete President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, Reed, a Democrat, wrote the .his toric decision outlawing- the South's all-white primary elec tions and banning segregation in interstate transportation. A Kentucky lawyer and state legislator before he entered gov ernment service, Reed has serv ed on the high court longer than all other present members ex cept Hugo L. Black, who was appointed by Mr. Roosevelt in 1937. He will retire at a life-time pension of $35,000 a year, his current salary, and hopes to spend much of his time at his farm in Maysville, Ky.. where he was Born Dec. 31, 1884. Reed's departure leaves the court's alignment at three Re publicans and five Democrats. His retirement gives President Eisenhower his fourth opportun ity to make a Supreme Court appointment. No successor has yet been named. Volume of Decisions The court, which returned to day after a four-week recess, was expected to hand down a heavy volume of decisions in cluding all cases among 45 now under consideration in which Reed has been chosen to speak for the majority. Several Communist issues have been hanging fire for some time. They include the appeal of 14 California Communists convicted under the Smith Act, and a constitutional test of the Smith Act's membership clause. The government's giant anti trust suit again the DuPont and General Motors corporations is also awaiting the court's ruling. jxii t r STANLEY REED Ends 19-Year Career Suez Anticipation Gives Stock List Lift New York U.R) Anticipa tion of an opening of the Suez canal by March 10 to 10,000-ton vessels gave a lift to the interna tional oils . on the Stock Ex change today.

Dulles Warned UN Sanctions Could Postpone Doctrine Washington (UR) A U.N. vote to impose sanctions on Is rael' could prolong the Senate s debate on President Eisen hower's Middle East resolution. Senate leaders delivered this warning to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during an un usual Sunday conference at Dulles' home on the resolution's status in the Senate. Warning Precedes Debate Their warning preceded to day's opening of the second week of Senate debate on Mr. Eisen hower's proposal for protecting the Middle East from Com munism. During the four days the reso lution was being considered by the Senate last week, debate slowed to a near standstill while members delayed speeches to see what transpired in day to day U.N. developments. Senate leaders had hoped to reaeh a final vote on the pro posal last week. But with debate well behind schedule and the sanctions issue still up in the air, they were making no new predictions on when a showdown would come. Sentiment Against Sanctions They told Dulles Sunday, It was learned, that a U.N. sanc tions move against Israel could prolong debate substantially. Sentiment in both houses of Congress is strongly against sanctions. One of the senators at the Dulles meeting, Leverett Salton stall (R-Mass.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee, said that a sanctions vote "might very well" impede pass age of the Eisenhower doctrine.
