Roger Dell to Replace Judge Loring District Jurist at Austin Named to State High Court Roger L. Dell, newest member of the Minnesota supreme court bench, will become chief justice July 15. He will succeed Charles Loring, 79, veteran of nearly 23 years on the state's highest court. Loring asked Friday that he be retired on that date. DELL'S FLACK as associate justice will be taken by Martin A. Nelson, Austin, judge of the 10th district court since 1944. As the Republican nominee for governor in 1934 and 1936, he ran unsuccessfully against Floyd B. Olson and Elmer A. Benson. Gov. C. Elmer Anderson announced the triple play yesterday. He will call for a district bar plebiscite for advice in filling the Nelson vacancy in the 10th judicial district, which comprises M o w e r, Freeborn and Fillmore counties. The moves mean that four of the seven supreme court justices will be up for election late in 1954. They are Dell, Nelson and Associate Justices Oscar Knutson and Thomas Gallagher. "Justice Loring's record is a sterling one," Anderson said. "His contribution to justice in Minnesota is one which I am sure history will record as one of the most outstanding." THE TALL, vigorous Loring leaves what he calls "the toughest job in the state" to move to Tucson, Ariz., for his wife's health. A practicing attorney 30 years before he became an associate justice in November 1930 and chief justice in January 1944, Loring will retire on full pay of $14500 a year until his term expires in 1956. Then he will draw 75 per cent of full pay $10,785 for the rest of his life. He was eligible for retirement nine years ago. Loring graduated from the t'niversity of Minnesota law-school in 1898. He served seven years in the army, most of the time as advocate general of United States forces in China. DELL WAS NAMED to the high court by Anderson four months ago. Anderson said of him yesterday: "At the time I appointed him to the supreme court, I had confidence in his unusual ability. The reports from members of . the bar and bench I have since received indicate that his capability and diligence qualify him for advancement." Dell, 55, is a resident of Fergus Falls, where he still has his home. The only other time he ran High Court Continued on Page Eight , -V. 4t I i'J ROGER L.
