PEOPLE AND PAPERS COMMENT ON SUPREME COURT SELECTION

(by the United Press)

General Hugh Johnson--"He's pretty damned radical."

Frank Murphy said that Frankfurter "is the natural successor of Holmes and Cardozo . . . one of the most distinguished legal scholars of our time."

William Green -- "Heartily commended" the choice.

The appointment provided the controlled Nazi press with new fuel for its vituperative accusation that the President is under the domination of a Jewish clique.

Speaker Bankhead: "I feel sure that the appointment will be entirely satisfactory to the people."
