...wanted within three years by naming Liberal Democrats Hugo Black, Reed, Felix Frankfurter and William O. Douglas to succeed Justices Van Devanter, Sutherland, Cardozo and Brandeis-key figures on the court that New Dealers scornfully called "The Nine Old Men." Since 1953 Ike has named three-Republicans Chief Justice Earl Warren and John Marshall Harlan, Democrat William J. Brennan Jr. Of the F.D.R. holdovers, Justice Black is now 70, Justice Frankfurter 74.

Attlee's views on the revolt-torn island of Cyprus: "Difficult problem." Will the U.S.'s new Middle East policy help to warm Anglo-American relations? "Can't tell...
Died. Alexander Augustus Frederick William Alfred George ("Algie") Cambridge, Earl of Athlone and Viscount Trematon, 82, onetime governor-general of South Africa (1923-30) and Canada (1940-46), last surviving brother of the late Queen Mary and great-uncle of Queen Elizabeth II; in Kensington Palace, London.
