"Cinema Pro-|ercss” Frankfurter Named Judge President Appoints Harvard Professor To Supreme Court WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (l’.P) — Tre^iccnt Franklin D. Roosevelt today nominated Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard university to the United States supreme court. Nominal ion of the 56-year-old j Jewish scholar of the Harvard law I school was for a vacancy which I has existed on the high court since J death of Justice Benjamin N. Car- 1 duzo last July 9. Proposals that Frankfurter bo j named to succeed the brilliant | Jewish Justice, Cardozo, had been j voiced in many quarters. Frankfurter ls the third Jurist, to be appointed to the high bench by Roosevelt. His other appointees were Justices Hugo L. Black and Stanley F. Reed. Announcement of the selection of Frankfurter was made through White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, who gave a one paragraph typewritten statement to newspapermen gathered ln the White House pres,-, room. Frankfurter, an old friend of the president, has been his adviser off and on since the 1932 campaign. He frequently visited the White House and for the past several years his name has persistently cropped up as a likely nominee for the bench. Today's announcement nevertheless occasioned considerable surprise inasmuch as the president only last Tuesday said that no decision on the court appointment had been reached. Moreover, he had Indicated at that time that only routine recess appointments would go up to the senate today. Chamberlain s Statement Presages Discussion of Neutrality Amendment LONDON, Jan. 5— (U.P.i— Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain tonight praised President. Roosevelt's message to congress as a forceful Indication of the "vital role" which American democracy is playing in the maintenance of world peace. The surprise statement appeared to lend credence to predictions of a quick exchange of views between the United States and Britain on the possibility of amending the American neutrality act. SENTIMENTS WELCOMED “The sentiments expressed by the president will be welcomed as yet another Indication of the vital role of American democracy ln world affairs and its devotion to the ideal of ordered human progress," Chamberlain said. The prime minister’s enthusiasm was not reflected by alt shades of British opinion. Some Britons feared that the president’s strong words might lead to a reversal of American opinion, driving it deeper into isolation as was the case after his "quarantine" speech at Chicago last summcr, U.S. BLAMED FOR BREAKDOWN That revulsion of American opinion was blamed for the breakdown of the Far Eastern "peace conference” at Brussels. If such a reversal occurs again, it, was pointed out, and the United Slates becomes more firmly isolationist. the British government will be obliged to play a cautious game in dealing with the dictatorships. In such an event the British government would hardly welcome further speeches along the lines of tiie president's message to congress because they would only serve to whip up British feeling against the dictatorships and hamper Chamberlain's foreign policy. Chamberlain's statement was worded cautiously tn order that the dictators would be able to find no offense in lt. Gardner Resigns Wampus Position Hal Gardner, business manager of the Wampus, student humor publication, handed in his tentative resignation to Kenneth K. Stonier, manager of the student publication, Wednesday afternoon. Stonier announced that the position held by Gardner will be filled in thc near future. Franco Drive Nears Port Of Loyalists Artesa De Secnt*?, Borjas Blancas Loss Admitted by Foes i HENDAYE. Franco-Spanish Frontier, Jan 6 (l'.P) — Generalissimo Francisco Franco's mixed Italian and Spmisli columns early today claimed to have driven to within 25 miles of the Loyalist seaport of Tarragona on thc Mediterranean In simultaneous advances on the north and east. From the 4 000-foot Llena and Montsant mountain peaks Franco* advance forces reported they were within sifht of Montblanch, Vails, and Reus along a steel-and-con-crete line defending Tarragona. 50 miles south of the Loyalist capital of Barcelona. COMMUNICATION KEY LOST The Loyalist war office at Barcelona officially admitted the loss Wednesday night of Borjas Blancas, 34 miles Inland from Tarragona on the vital highway from Lerida to the seacoast, as well as Artesa Df Segre, key to the entire network of government communications on the northern flank of the Catalonian front. The capture of Artesa and Borjas Blancas placed the Insurgents astride two of the four main arteries into the heart ot Catalonia. Both towns are about 65 miles inland from Barcelona, ultimate objective of Franco's big offensive. CASUALTIES LISTED Thus far in 14 days of fighting Franco claims to have seized 24,000 prisoners and inflicted 40,000 casualties on the enemy The Loyalists, attempting to reduce the pressure of Franco's 300,-000 troops smashing toward the coast, opened a surprise "diversion drive” on the opposite side of Spain today and reported “continuing success." Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid Mussolini May Ignore Peace Appeal ROME, Jan. 5 flIEI — Fascist leaders intimated tonight that Premier Benito Mussolini might ignore Presidint Roosevelt's personal appeal to him for aid in solving the Jewish refugee problem because of the attacks on dictatorships ln the presideiit’s message to congress.

S <U.R> — Nazi leaders tonight said the govern -menl undoubtedly would reject any proposal by President Roosevelt, such as has been submitted lo Premier Benito Musnolinl of Ilaly, to permit Germany* unwanted Jew* to transfer a portion of their wealth to new home* abroad. “A proposal from the president for Mussolini to use his good office* would be a little silly at this time, when we are doing everythin* possible to expediate Jewish emigration.” a Naai spokesman said. United States embassy officials rjiid they were uncertain whether Mufsollni Intended to answer. An Italian communique describing the message from the president made no mention of any new step to be taken but it was understood that II Duce promised to give the matter his early "consideration,” thereby avoiding any commitment. Tiiose acquainted with Mussolini feared that his decision would be adversely affected by certain passages of the president’s speech to congress, which he must have read within 30 hours after receiving the Jewish refugee proposals from Phillips.

Frankfurter Named Judge
President Appoints Harvard Professor To Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (l’.P) — Tre^iccnt Franklin D. Roosevelt today nominated Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard university to the United States supreme court.
Nominal ion of the 56-year-old j Jewish scholar of the Harvard law I school was for a vacancy which I has existed on the high court since J death of Justice Benjamin N. Car- 1 duzo last July 9.
Proposals that Frankfurter bo j named to succeed the brilliant | Jewish Justice, Cardozo, had been j voiced in many quarters.
Frankfurter ls the third Jurist, to be appointed to the high bench by Roosevelt. His other appointees were Justices Hugo L. Black and Stanley F. Reed.
Announcement of the selection of Frankfurter was made through White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, who gave a one paragraph typewritten statement to newspapermen gathered ln the White House pres,-, room.
Frankfurter, an old friend of the president, has been his adviser off and on since the 1932 campaign. He frequently visited the White House and for the past several years his name has persistently cropped up as a likely nominee for the bench.
Today's announcement nevertheless occasioned considerable surprise inasmuch as the president only last Tuesday said that no decision on the court appointment had been reached. Moreover, he had Indicated at that time that only routine recess appointments would go up to the senate today.
Chamberlain s Statement Presages Discussion of Neutrality Amendment
LONDON, Jan. 5— (U.P.i— Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain tonight praised President. Roosevelt's message to congress as a forceful Indication of the "vital role" which American democracy is playing in the maintenance of world peace.
The surprise statement appeared to lend credence to predictions of a quick exchange of views between the United States and Britain on the possibility of amending the American neutrality act. SENTIMENTS WELCOMED
“The sentiments expressed by the president will be welcomed as yet another Indication of the vital role of American democracy ln world affairs and its devotion to the ideal of ordered human progress," Chamberlain said.
The prime minister’s enthusiasm was not reflected by alt shades of British opinion. Some Britons feared that the president’s strong words might lead to a reversal of American opinion, driving it deeper into isolation as was the case after his "quarantine" speech at Chicago last summcr,
U.S. BLAMED FOR BREAKDOWN
That revulsion of American opinion was blamed for the breakdown of the Far Eastern "peace conference” at Brussels.
If such a reversal occurs again, it, was pointed out, and the United Slates becomes more firmly isolationist. the British government will be obliged to play a cautious game in dealing with the dictatorships. In such an event the British government would hardly welcome further speeches along the lines of tiie president's message to congress because they would only serve to whip up British feeling against the dictatorships and hamper Chamberlain's foreign policy.
Chamberlain's statement was worded cautiously tn order that the dictators would be able to find no offense in lt.

Artesa De Secnt*?,
Borjas Blancas Loss Admitted by Foes
i HENDAYE. Franco-Spanish Frontier, Jan 6 (l'.P) — Generalissimo Francisco Franco's mixed Italian and Spmisli columns early today claimed to have driven to within 25 miles of the Loyalist seaport of Tarragona on thc Mediterranean In simultaneous advances on the north and east.
From the 4 000-foot Llena and Montsant mountain peaks Franco* advance forces reported they were within sifht of Montblanch, Vails, and Reus along a steel-and-con-crete line defending Tarragona. 50 miles south of the Loyalist capital of Barcelona.
COMMUNICATION KEY LOST
The Loyalist war office at Barcelona officially admitted the loss Wednesday night of Borjas Blancas, 34 miles Inland from Tarragona on the vital highway from Lerida to the seacoast, as well as Artesa Df Segre, key to the entire network of government communications on the northern flank of the Catalonian front.
The capture of Artesa and Borjas Blancas placed the Insurgents astride two of the four main arteries into the heart ot Catalonia. Both towns are about 65 miles inland from Barcelona, ultimate objective of Franco's big offensive. CASUALTIES LISTED Thus far in 14 days of fighting Franco claims to have seized 24,000 prisoners and inflicted 40,000 casualties on the enemy The Loyalists, attempting to reduce the pressure of Franco's 300,-000 troops smashing toward the coast, opened a surprise "diversion drive” on the opposite side of Spain today and reported “continuing success."
