John L. Hines, hero of two wars, a former Army Chief of Staff and the oldest living graduate of West Point, died in Walter Reed Army Medical Center yesterday at the age of 100. Hospital officials said Hines, who fought the Indians in the West as a young officer, died a few days after getting a respiratory infection that developed into pneumonia.

He later succeeded Pershing as Army Chief of Staff in 1924, serving for two years under President Calvin Coolidge. It was during his term that Gen. Billy Mitchell, the original advocate of modern air power, was court-marialed.

But Hines was primarily a field commander, who had won the Silver Star for gallantry at Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War. He disliked the paperwork, desks and ceremonial duties and the speeches connected with his job as Army chief. WHEN HE REQUESTED a distant assignment at the end of his term as Chief of Staff he was first sent to command the 9th Corps Area at San Francisco, and then wound up his military career by succeeding Gen. Douglas MacArthur for two years as commanding general of the Philippine Department, with headquarters at Manila beginning in 1930. Retiring in 1932, Hines traveled extensively and enloved good health until two vears ago when he took up permanent residence at Walter Reed.

He was able to deliver a short speech from a wheel chair and to enjoy the occasion thoroughly at a celebration last May 21 of his 100th birthday attended by Army Secretary Stanley R. Resor at Walter Reed. Both President Johnson and former President Eisenhower sent messages of congratulations read at the celebration. Eisenhower himself is in Walter Reed recovering from a series of heart attacks. Hines was born at White Sulphur Springs, W.

Va. in 1868, three years after the Civil War and when President Andrew Johnson was in the White House. He was graduated from West Point in 1891, and was on duty against the Indians in the far west for seven years before the outbreak of the Spanish conflict. HE NEXT SERVED in the Philippine insurrection, saw duty in Japan, and was adjutant general and chief of staff to Pershing during the punitive expedition against Pancho Villa in Mexico in 1916. As a lieutenant colonel, he went to Europe with the American Expeditionary Force in 1917, and was rapidly promoted to colonel, brigadier general and then major general.

He served as commander of the 4th Army Division in the battle of St. Mihiel, and won the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry southwest of Soissons in 1918. A citation accompanying this award described how Gen. Hines "personally went through terrific artillery fire to the front lines, and encouraged the troops by his example of fearlessness" on a mission to link up two units which had become separated.

Musmanno, then a county judge, issued a legal opinion declaring Santa Claus did exist and anyone speaking to the contrary "will be committed to the Bastile, there to be kept in dungeon vile until soul expands and the of Christmas enters therein." After serving in both world wars, Musmanno was appointed to the commission established to certify the death of Adolph Hitler and also was one of the American prosecutors of the war criminals at Nuremberg.

He retired from the Navy reserve as a rear admiral. BA BACHELORHOOD left Musmanno with much free time for writing. He authored 12 books. Two of the books were made into a movie, "Black Fury," and "The Last Ten Days," recounting the death of Adolph Hitler. In 1931, Musmanno became the youngest judge in the state.

He was elevated to the stat supreme court in 1952 and was in line for promotion to chief justice at the time of his death. As a jurist, he wrote prolific opinions. Once, commenting on the arguments of a lawyer, he said: "These are all suppositions, sprouting from the tree of advocacy which, without the substance of facts to support them, can only wither on the bare limbs of argumentation." Musmanno is survived by a brother, four sisters, seven nephews and three nieces. Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery.
