Crittenden. President Jackson took office on March 4 and made his own appointment.

President Martin Van Buren was more successful when, after his defeat by the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison, a vacancy occurred on February 25, 1841, a week, before his term ended. Van Buren named Peter V. Daniel, who was confirmed March 2 by the Senate, 22 to 5, after Whig senators walked out in disgust. WASHINGTON Will President Eisenhower name a successor to retiring Associate Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minion of New Albany before November The odds are against it, but the question suggests some interesting possibilities. Justice Minton is leaving the Court on October 15, which means that the President could make a recess appointment any time before January 3, when the 85th Congress will convene.

Such an appointment, however, would then have to be resubmitted to the Senate for confirmation. If, meanwhile, the President were to lose his bid for re-election to Democrat Adlai K. Stevenson, would the Senate confirm his appointee? Somoza was willing but Figueres refused. Shortly afterward Figueres left on a trip to Mexico and Spain, a trip that had been delayed because of the refusal of his Congress to let him leave the country, lie is now out of Costa Rica. About this time, Somoza received what he claimed was reliable intelligence that 200 armed Costa Ricans were planning an attack on Nicaragua.

The Nicaraguan dictator report' ed this to his ambassador in Washington, Guillermo Sevilla-Sacasa. The Costa Ricans, Somoza claimed, had plans to capture certain Nicaraguan airfields and shoot Somoza. Somoza blamed this on Figueres and claimed that Fi-gueres's absence from Costa Rica was a mere blind. Somoza was so angry that he planned to invade Costa Rica Judge William H. Hastie of the U.S.

Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the appointment is made, it would be the first time in history that a Negro was appointed to the Supreme Court and might well put President Eisenhower on a plane with Abraham Lincoln in the minds of the Negro population. The President has the Justice Sherman Minton vacancy to fill as the October court term opens. Minton was appointed by President Truman.

It was Truman who also appointed Judge Hastie to be the first Negro ever to sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals. His elevation to the Supreme Court is being urged, among others, by Judge William Denman of the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, in San Francisco. Denman, a Roosevelt Democrat, recently wrote Eisenhower: "Never has the criticism of godless Russia been so bitter as on this treatment of the Negro," he said, referring to recent Southern opposition to school integration.

"The appointment of a Negro judge of outstanding judicial capacity more than anything else would tend to mend the attempt on the life of President Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua. Added to his three gunshot wounds, this isn't going to make the dictator of Nicaragua any easier to get along with in Central America. It could even lead to an attack on Costa Rica. What happened was that Somoza had an inside tip that an attempt was to be made on his life. In addition, he claimed an attack was to be made on Nicaragua.

He wanted to attack Costa Rica first in a preventive war. The tip that an attempt was to be made on his life carne last July, shortly before the Panama conference of the heads of states. As a result Somoza took an extra bodyguard to Tanama. At the Panama conference an attempt was made to patch up the long feud between Somoza and President Jose Figueres of Costa Rica. Somoza, trained by the United States Marines, as was another famous dictator of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic's General Rafael Tru-jillo, has ruled Nicaragua for 20 years.

Figueres, president of the most democratic country in Central America, has had free elections plus, incidentally, two American wives, though not concurrently. Figueres Refutes At Panama U.S. Ambassador John Dreier and President Ar-nulfo Arias of Panama tried to get the two men to shake hands. WILLIAM B. HASTIE For Minton's place? our deteriorating poiver in world diplomacy." White House advisers, who naturally have a weather eye out for political reactions, are not unmindful of the fact that the big city Negro vote is crucial in the November election.

Most of them also believe privately that Eisenhower has lost the Solid South and thus has nothing to lose by the appointment of a Negro. It is even suggested that in the end Southern Democrats would fight and filibuster the Hastie appointment so bitterly that the Negro vote would be lost to the Democratic Party for years to come. Cspyriiht, 154 JUSTICE MINTON Retiring on October 15 pointment to the Court ended more happily. After Democrat Grover Cleveland had won his second term by defeating the Republican incumbent, Benjamin Harrison, the latter nominated Howell E. Jackson to the Court the first Democrat named by a Republican President since 1861.

Jackson, a U.S. Circuit Court Judge, was confirmed February 18, 1893. No appointments to the Court since then have involved the issue of changing Administrations. As a practical matter, the opportunities for "lame duck" appointments were sharply reduced when the inaugural date was moved forward to January 20, leaving only a period of about two weeks in which Congress can act on the nominations of an outgoing President (barring a special session after the November election.) If President Eisenhower were to be defeated, however, he would be under strong pressure from his party to nominate a Republican to the Court since the departure of Justice Minton, a Democrat, leaves the Court with five Democrats and three Republicans Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justices John M. Harlan and Harold Burton.

Whether the Senate in all probability under Democratic control in the event of Stevenson's victory would confirm a Republican appointee is doubtful. Precedent, at least, favors rejection. Copyrifht, 15 Four years later, President John Tyler made several attempts to fill two vacancies on the Court. A Democratic Senate stalled, pending the 1844 election, won by Democrat James K. Polk.

In January, 1845, Tyler withdrew his nominations and submitted two others. Samuel Nelson was confirmed February 14, but the Senate refused to act on the nomination of John Af. Reed. Polk filled the post. In 1853 President Millard Fillmore had even poorer luck after the election of Democrat Franklin Pierce.

Fillmore on January 10 nominated George E. Badger to a vacancy and the Senate voted February 11 to postpone consideration until March 4, when Pierce would be inaugurated. Fillmore than sent up the name of William C. Micou for the post but the Senate took no notice. President Pierce the nominated John C.

Campbell. Shoe on Other Foot Eight years later the shoe was on the other foot. After the election of Republican Abraham Lincoln the outgoing Democratic President, James Buchanan, nominated Jeremiah S. Black to a vacancy on the Court on February 5, 1861. On February 21 the Senate rejected Black bv one vote, 26 to 25.

President Lincoln filled the post, but not until the next year. The last instance of a "lame duck" ap- Congressional Quarterly combed the history of Supreme Court appointments all 122 and found seven instances in which Presidents whose parties had defeated in November nevertheless tried to fill vacancies on the Court before their opponents took office the following March 4. In the first such instance, ironically, the President's initiative placed on the Court the man who almost single handedly was to shape its destiny. John Marshall, who presided over the Court as Chief Justice for 34 years, was named to the post January 20, 1801, by the outgoing Federalist President, John Adams, and confirmed the next day. Democrat Thomas Jefferson, whose election was won in the House of Representatives February 17, also found that the Federalist Congress had reduced the number of justices from six to five in a maneuver to deprive him of an appointment.

After his defeat by Democrat Andrew Jackson in 1828, President John Quincy Adams tried to fill a vacancy on the Court but tho Democratic-controlled Senate Strenuous Efforts At this point strenuous American efforts were made to head off hostilities. Henry Holland, retiring assistant secretary of state for Pan-American affairs, exerted a strong restraining hand. So did Dreier, ambassador to the Pan-American Union. Even the President's brother, Milton Eisenhower, had to get into the act. Somoza was told to stop seeing ghosts, was asked why he was afraid of a mere 200 men and finally was assured that if there was any attack on him, the United States would come to the rescue.

So he called off his pre MY ANSWER By BILLY GRAHAM Q. have for sometime felt the urge to go to the mission-field. I have been stirred through the preaching of some five men of God.

Davis had seen him as the cowboy in "The Virginian" on the stage and supposed he was chosen for these qualities. "I was wrong," David wrote. "I found that in choosing his star, Mr. Thomas had considered only whether he could or could not wear my clothes. Every other leading actor in America had been measured and found wanting.

But on the screen the silent screen all this had to be proved.

This line of thought was unpopular at the time, and Lupton says it leads to some dramatic episodes that he, Ansara and their colleagues have immortalized on celluloid for our edification. After talking to Lupton I concluded that the mailman bit has calmed down since 1860. Now they plod about being gnawed by dogs.

After he had made this modest assessment of his gunsling-ing ability I discovered that Lupton is going to play the courageous mail rider of about 1860 who smoothed things out with Cochise, the Apache, so the mail could go through Arizona. Lupton was in town to meet the sponsors, the station people and, rather incidentally, the television editors who may be called upon to report on his television activities.

The series Is called "Broken Arrow" and will start on Channel 3 October 6 at 10 p.m. The series is based on the book "Blood Brother," written by Elliot Arnold. From this was made a movie and from the movie was made a television play. Now it shows up as a series. The youthful, shaggy-hairedx Lupton plays Tom Jeffords, the mail rider.

He is, in fact, working on his own production company and some travel films for movies and TV. In th: TV series Lupton rides a very striking appaloosa horse (spelling courtesy of Breeder's Gazette.)
