Frankfurter May Face Retirement, Observers Fear- Washington -(LTD - Supreme Court observers expressed fear yesterday the illness of 76-year-old Justice Felix Frankfurter may force his re tirement after 20 years on the nation's highest tribunal. Frankfurter known as a "scholar with a human touch" is the oldest member of the nine-justice court, and pos sibly its hardest working. 'Disturbance' A statement issued Friday night announced the Austrian born jurist had suffered a "mild heart disturbance" and was in a hospital for rest and observation. The statement said Frankfurter was "resting comfortably and doctors are pleased with his progress." But persons close to the court said the illness might be enough to force Frankfurt er into the retirement he could have enjoyed with' full salary since 1953 when he be came eligible for the lifetime stipend of $35,000 a year. 'Fruitful Years' Frankfurter himself said at that time he was opposed to automaticretirement at 70 be cause "such a restriction would have deprived the coun try of some of the most fruit ful years of judicial service by some of the greatest men who have served here." The justice's secretary, Mrs. Elsie Douglas, said Frankfurt er had been tired lately from "over-exertion."
