You remember Irwin B. Clorfene, the Vice-Presi- dent. He is now Dean of Harvard Law School. I met him and Chester F. Schmidt, the latter being Dean of the Princeton Law School, several weeks ago while in Prince- ton, New Jersey. I learned from them that William S. Brown was practicing law with Harry A. Lambert in Reno, Nevada, and that Stanley S. Krugman was Internal Revenue Collector of Boise, Idaho. E ' William T. Nenneman certainly runs a wonderful quiz course as I understand. I am informed he put William Parillo, Jr., through the bar last year. Nenneman stated that William Parillo, Sr., has acquired considerable wealth and is now contemplating retirement in the practice of law. Do you think Irving Earl Glickman will win out in the election for Circuit Court Clerk, or do you think his opponent, Arthur F. Gescheidle, will be the victor? Harold Goldberg lives in Paris, France, he being the American Consul in that country. I learned from Harold that Joseph C. Miller and wife are taking a journey through various parts of Europe, preparatory to Joe's taking up his newly-elected duties as Lieutenant- Governor of Illinois. Edward M. Byrd as Governor-General of the Philip- pine Islands is trying to get Congress to admit the Philippines into the Union. I understand that Frank L. Mohan, Byrd's assistant, is spending much of his time here in Washington in the hope of perfecting such a- negotiation. Mohan has had Representative Walter John Lally of Florida and Representative Marvin K. Herrington of New York to submit the bill for such legislation to the House. Marcus Levy and Jack Lieberman are practicing law together in Cairo, Illinois. I am informed they control a large syndicate also in that city. Do you suppose David Frank and Emil Schlan will perfect the negotiations which they are working at now in the House of Representatives of the State of Illi- nois, to introduce and have passed a bill consenting to the making of Cook County a separate state of the Union? I understand Byron E. Hayes as agent of the State of Illinois, who is a Representative from Illinois, as you know, will introduce this recommendation into Congress. 52 S 5

case. As counsel for Mr. Moonan, Adrian L. Lammers should have known that such a trust agreement as the one involved in the aforesaid case would not stand the test in any court. I think Judge Roderick A. Mette rightly decided the case. You probably are aware of the fact that Arthur A. Bernstein and Fred Fagenholz are in partnership together in the practice of law in Crown Point, Indiana, at which city Stafford T. Haberkorn is City Attorney. I knew Morris Haft would glean the athletic world, and I am glad that he won the election as President of the Illinois Athletic Club. Speaking of athletics, Con- gress has just passed a law creating a department known as the Interstate Swimming Department, which controls the rules and regulations of interstate contests, and of contestants sent from one state to another for the pur- pose of such contests. Vernon Tittle has been put in charge of this department. By way of dictum, I might say that I personally think Congress has gone beyond the bounds in passing this act over the,veto of the President. ' I understand J. Benjamin Cleaver is President of the New York Title and Trust Company, and that Eugene F. Englehard is Vice-President. So Ralph H. Haen was re-elected County Recorder! You remember Herman uMissouriH Hansman. He now presides over the World Court. I will never forgive Herman for the trick he played on me by running off with my Sioux Falls, South Dakota sweetheart. However, I understand they are very happy and the proud parents of six children. N Leo Bressler interests me now that he is the political Nbossn of the Republican Party. I suppose he and Arthur 0. Kiesgen, the Democratic Hboss,H frequently come to clashes. I understand that Paul E. Collins, William J. Collins and Thomas J. Courtney have formed a partnership and call themselves HThe Three Seize of Forest Park.N Alfred T. Donnellan, Mayor of Forest Park, tells me that they are doing a big real estate business in conjunction with their law practice. ' 51'

Wallace I. Kargman spends much of his time in Europe as Director of the Olympic Contests. He is assisted by Louis Friedman and William E. Hoerger. Hoerger and Friedman, in addition to this work, are also licensed attorneys in France, and have quite a practice there. Ralph Rubin and Harry L. Stripe are bank presi- dents. Rubin is president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Stripe is president of the City National Bank of Baltimore. 1? Q Our famous justices of the' peace, Wilfred E. Hall and Harold J. Tallett, certainly have advanced since our college days. Benjamin F. Wupper, Mayor of Waukegan and North Chicago which now of course are consolidated into one city, told me that Hall sits in the Supreme Court of Illinois, while Tallett is also a member of the Supreme Court. I was glad to learn that Paul D. Speer and Ulysses Simpson Young are on the Appellate bench in Illinois, and that Robert Dean Welsh, Al Ziedman and James E. Wright are Circuit Court judges, s Richard A. Wiseman, the Randolph Hearst of yes- teryear, controls a good many more papers than Hearst ever thought one man could controlf I'll have to sign off as my valet just informed me that Irving E. Greenberger, Ambassador to Sweden, has arrived to keep a dinner appointment with me. With my kindest regards to you and best wishes for the success of the college, I am Most cordially yours, Juul Bertram Levie. 53
