New Justice of Supreme Court Faces Scrutiny Washington - (LTD - Potter Stewart, the new Supreme Court appointee, was certain today to undergo careful scrutiny by Southern senators before winning confirmation to the nation's top tribunal. Sen. Spessard L. Holland (D-Fla.) indicated he and other Southern senators would take a long hard look at Stewart's record when he comes before the Senate next session. Succeeds Burton President Eisenhower late Tuesday named the 43-year-old judge of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Cir cuit to succeed Justice Harold H. Burton on the Supreme Court. Burton retires next Monday. Except for Justice William O. Douglas who was appoint ed at the age of 40, Potter is the youngest man named to the court in 105 years. Initial reaction to the appointment .was favorable. Southern legislators, how ever were believed certain to scan Stewart's past record for indications of his rulings on integration and states rights issues. There was no imme diate indication whether any significant opposition to the confirmation would arise. Followed Courl's Decision The rangy, handsome judge from Cincinnati, Ohio, wrote a concurring opinion in an integration case involving a group of Negroes who wanted to attend a previously all- white school in southern Ohio. His opinion closely followed the Supreme Court's 1954 school integration decision. A close friend said Stewart had a "fairly conservative viewpoint without being a stand-patter. He is a progres sive conservative who believes in the American system in the things which have made the country strong."
