THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1953 Warren Appointed 14th Chief Justice WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (W)—Earl Warren, attorney and Cali fornia governor but never before a judge, was named today the 14th chief justice of the United States. President Eisenhower announced his selection of Warren to succeed the late Fred M. 'Vinson, whose unexpected death Sept. 8 opened the way for the first Supreme Court appointment by a Re publican president in 20 years. In Warren, the President picked a man whose political philosophy is generally considered middle-of the-road, a lifehing Republican but one with such liberal views that former President Truman once said, "He's really a Democrat and doesn't know it." From Sacramento, Warr en promptly wired hiS acceptance of the appointment and told news men he would assume the new post Monday. Segregation Problem On that day the court opens its regular fall term facing decis ions on a number of important issues. Top among them is the validity of segregation of white and -Negro pupils in public schools, which will be argued a second time in December, Warren has supported a fed eral fair. employment practices law and has tried unsuccessfully to have a similar measure passed in California: He has expressed the view that the prime purpose of government is "to insure equal opportunity in life for Americans of every racial origin and creed." Against Communists On other issues, he has' sup ported compulsory health insur ance, amendment of the Taft- Hartley law to make it apply equally to labor unions and man agement, and federal aid to edu cation. He has spoken strongly against Communist infiltration, but has also criticized "the blanket' accu 7 - sations" of Communist activity made by Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis).l Such comment as was available immediately highly favored the Warren appointment. Eisenhower expressed con f i dence that Warren will make a great chief justice. In New Yorll, .ov.Dewey called it "a fine ap pointment" and said Warren "will make a superb chief justice." U.S. Increases Aid to France $385 Million PARIS, Sept. 30 (fP)—Assured of a stronger French war effort, the United States came through today with a 385 million dollar increase in its contributions to help crush the Communists in Indochina. The two nations jointly an nounced plans to step up the cam paign against the Red-led Viet minh and a Foreign Ministry spokesman said France will never negotiate for a settlement of the seven-year-old war without par ticipation of the United States. The formal announcement of the extra aid agreement cli maxed weeks of intensive French- American negotiations. The 385 million dollars will be spent over the next 15 months to buy guns, ammunition, planes and other equipment for the French and their Indochinese allies. The U.S. National Security Council recommended the ar rangement to back up an alloca tion of 400 minion dollars voted by Congress earlier this year for defense of Southeast Asia's stra tegic • gateway. President Eisen hower approved it, despite his administration's determination to economize and keep foreign aid at a minimum. Gov. Earl Warren 14th Chief Justice lice Announces Regressive Tax Opposition WASHINGTON ; Sept. 30 (M President Eisenhower said today the administration will not ask Congress for a retail sales tax which critics contend hits the lit tle fellow harder than the mil lion.aire. But the President didn't rule out the possibility of a general tax on the goods that manufac turers produce a tax which could be passed on to the public in higher prices. Some senators immediately hit a manufacturers' tax as a con cealed sales tax and expressed disappolntment Eisenhower didn't bar it, too. The whole tax problem still is under study, the President told his first news conference in 10 weekS. and the goal is levies that will be fair and just and still pro duce the necessary revenue. He didn't say how much will be needed or whether the net result will be a boost or cut in taxes.
