Delay Showdown On Loan To Britain Washington April 23 Demo- cratic Leader Barkley (Ky) put atomic control legislation on the list today but stood his ground against other measures that might delay a Senate showdown on the $3750000000 British loan Senator McMahon (D-Conn) told newsmen that while Barkley had refused a request to lay aside the loan bill temporarily he had given assurance that the

supreme court to a seven-man tribunal today and stirred wide speculation on President possible choice for the highest judicial place The hard-working 73-year-old Stone fired two dissenting opinions at his colleagues in a prolonged court session yesterday then faltered over the first of three majority opinions he had prepared He paled and his first Words trailed off The court session was halted abruptly Doctors found Stone nauseated They said he had indigestion He was taken home A few hours later his secretary announced his death from massive cerebral Mr Truman who learped of the chief death aboard the aircraft carrier Franklin Roosevelt termed it "a grevious loss to the country" and said he was The President left Washington Sunday to observe naval maneuvers off the Virginia coast Speculate On GOP Choice The first wave of speculation touched off by Stone's death centered on the possibility that Mr Truman might designate a Republican to fill the court vacancy but elevate one of the seven Democrats now on the bench to chief justice Among the latter Associate Justices William Douglas Robert Jackson and Felix Frankfurter were mentioned most prominently and in that order Other Democrats on the bench are Hugo Black who now is first in seniority Stanley Reed Frank Murphy and Wiley Rutledge Talk of Republican candidates for the tribunal usually started off with the name of Secretary of War Robert Patterson The last job Stone completed on the high bench the reading of a dissenting opinion was symbolic of some of the court work which won him greatest fame A prolific dissenter in his 21 years on the bench Stone had the' perhaps unprecedented privilege of seeing two of his dissenting opinions later become the law of the land In one of thgse he opposed the reasoning that school children could be forced to salute the flag Later the court said saluting could not be required In the other triumph for Stone the court eventually accepted his view that city ortlinances imposing a tax on sale of religious literature were unconstitutional In two other historic dissents Stone objected sharply to majority opinions invalidating the agricultural adjustment act and a New York law establishing minimum wages for women During Stone's Iasi term he had only an eight-man court Jackson has been prosecuting Nazi leaders at Nuernberg and is not expected to return until the next term in October death now leaves to another Democratic president the selection of a court leader who perhaps can break the Veeent 4 to 4 impasse in various cases Selection of the war secretary would present Mr Truman with the problem of finding a successor in the cabinet Hence some senators said they thought their Republican colleagues Warren Austin of Vermont or Homer Ferguson of Michigan might enter the picture Austin however is 68 years old Ferguson who is 11 years younger was a member 5T the war investigating committee Mr Truman headed as a senator and the two are close friends At Amherst while known to friends as Stone met Calvin Coolidge the man who later put him on the supreme court bench in 1925 as an associate justice The funeral of Chief Justice Stone will be held at 2

23 Advocates of merging the armed forces pressed for a test of strength today within a cautious and divided Senate military committee Chairman Elbert Thomas (D-Utah) announced he intended a move to send the bill for a of common on to the Senate floor with a favorable report from the committee majority But Senator Bridges (R-NH) speaking for a minority group demanded additional time for hearings on his substitute plan to retain the present separate war and navy departments create a new air forces department and attain unity through a council of common defense Senator Hill (D-Ala) Democratic whip and one of the sponsors of the unification plan told a reporter that Bridges' measure was unification at all only invites delay and Hill said is form with no substance and would promote further diversion and separation" Senator Austin (R-Vt) who with Hill and Thomas helped draft the single department plan said there was no need for additional committee delay PROCTOR LAUDS HOWE Governor
