...Hyde Park, Rev. Frank R. Wilson had his telephone disconnected to keep people from pestering him for seats at the service he will perform Sunday in St. James Episcopal ("the President's") Church, with presiding Bishop Henry St. George Tucker of the U. S. Protestant Episcopal Church preaching the sermon. Rector Wilson declared that faithful past church attendance would now yield a dividend: regular worshippers would get seats, others would have to stand in the grounds outside.

...close to Washington, at his suburban home in Silver Spring, Md. Some observers discerned in this plan an unusual situation: a Justice of the Supreme Court who is still an executive insider.

Then last March conservative Republican Governor Frank Fitzgerald died and Luren Dickinson succeeded him. In the past three months he has given Michigan its godliest and goofiest government...
...Together with the Republican Legislature, he abolished the civil-service system which Reform Governor Frank Murphy contributed toward non-political administration, substituted the old-fashioned spoils system for most State offices. ("It has been said many times that under such conditions I have felt the need for spiritual wisdom. If there ever was a case where I could say this, this was one.") When the civil-service wrecker landed on the Governor's desk he said: "I have faith the right answer [whether to sign] will be made clear to me, perhaps this weekend." Mr. Dickinson and Mentor Boyles...
