"He showed this in his miracles."

Attorney General Gregory, probably wil be called into conference within a day or two and the appointment made in the next . two weeks. - Although the Supreme Court ad- : iourned today until October, the De- pariment of Justice officials are anx- " ious that a new justice be appointed , quickly, so that he can give consider- ation to questions now pending. Ibis is considered imperative in view of the fact that Justice McReynolds is barred from participation in consid- . eration of several of the most import- ? : ant cases because he took part in pre-., senting them to the court as attorney . general. " It is understood that the President V would like to appoint John W.
