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."

hay and grain farm and on
his small dairy ranch west
of Central Point. The 16-foot
trailer will cost about $600.
The trailer being built by
Hurst is to be used for irri
gation. He rents a piece of
land quite a distance from his
father's ranch and the trailer
will be used to haul irrigation
pipes from one farm to the
other.

when their boat was swamp
ed on the Columbia river
about 11 miles east of here
while duck hunting.
Search for the two, Otis E.
Johnston, 46, and his son

when waves on the Columbia
became too hazardous.
Johnston's other son, Lloyd,
19, and a friend, John Berg
eson, 17, managed to save
themselves by swimming to
shore. Lloyd and Bergeson
could see the two in the water
calling for help but were un
able to do anything. '
The accident occurred when
the outboard motor on the 16
foot boat refused to start and
waves, reportedly five feet
high, swamped it, according
to Clackamas county deputies.
The older Johnston lad
made it to shore using a buoy
ant seat pad and Bergeson

A favorable report was
turner in by the state inspec
tor, Dale Skewis, after his
tour of inspection at Eagle
Point. He said the school had
two strong points-the students
and the offerings.
Following up on the stu
dents he commented on the
fact that they seemed to be in
terested, hard-working, and
studious; while the offerings,
he said were exceptionally
good for a school of this size.
The orderly way the classes
were conducted and the quiet
ness in the halls also rated
comments by Skewis.
