Accident it may have been that the President's callers last week included Roman Catholic Bishop James Ryan of Omaha and Rev. Maurice Sheehy of Catholic University; that he appointed Roman Catholic Frank Murphy, Governor-reject of Michigan, to be his Attorney General (see col. 3); that the Pan-American Conference at Lima, so largely the creature of Franklin Roosevelt and Secretary Hull, was praised last week by L'Osservatore Romano, the Pope's daily, after the totalitarian press had belittled it. The significance of these things, planned or unplanned, was that events appeared to be rapidly...
...about his Attorney General was at last resolved by Vice President Garner and Jim Farley: five New Yorkers in the Cabinet would really be too many, therefore the President must pass over Solicitor-General Bob Jackson. Mr. Garner's thorough approval of Michigan's rufous Governor-reject Frank Murphy settled the matter. With that approval, the man-who-was-soft-on-sit-down-strikers could be confirmed without trouble. So Mr. Murphy packed up in Lansing, took his brother George, his sister Marguerite Murphy Teahan and the Bible his mother gave him. Next day he presented himself...
...Garner's view of Frank Murphy's handling of 193 fs motor strikes is that the President of the U. S., not the Governor of Michigan, was at fault-in not early and firmly condemning sit-downs. Frank Murphy's steadfast point is that the use of force would certainly have caused heavy bloodshed.

...fate's irony, Walter Chrysler's son-in-law Byron Foy, now high in the councils of the motor industry, roomed with Frank Murphy in his District Attorney days.* To Mr. Foy and many motor men, the new Attorney General may not seem much better than a Communist. Frank Murphy maintains that Abraham Lincoln, not Karl Marx, gave him his concern for "human rights against property rights...
This concern is no political pose with Frank Murphy. Ascetic, perfectionist, he really believes that, instead of becoming a Roman Catholic priest he became a social priest, ordained by his late mother, who taught him to honor Jews and Negroes as highly as other men. In his first mayoral campaign, Detroit called him "Dew and Sunshine" after a speech in which he said that was the kind of new morning Detroit needed. If the so-called Monopoly Investigation imposes upon him the duty of prosecuting any large vested interests, the latter may be sure he will do it with painful...
