PEOPLE AND PAPERS COMMENT ON SUPREME COURT SELECTION

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.

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

Senator Ashurst, chairman of the Judiciary Committee: "Frankfurter in probably one of the most superb intellects in the country."

Governor Leverett Saltonstall: "Fine appointment."
