Barristers Mark
16th Anniversary
With Dinner
Solicitor General Biddle
Among Honor Guests
Of Lawyer Unit
Amusing incidents in connection
with his work years ago as a law
clerk for the late Supreme Court
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes were
recalled by Solicitor General Francis
Biddle in an informal address at
the annual dinner of the Barristers
In the Mayflower Hotel last night.
Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas and justices of the District
courts were among the guests who
helped the Barristers celebrate the
16th anniversary of the founding
of the organization of young attor
neys here.
Mr. Biddle, a former United States
Circuit Court justice and member
of the National Labor Relations
Board, said that the late -Justice
Holmes, for whom he worked for a
year just after graduating from
Harvard Law School, influenced him
more than anyone else.
He described Justice Holmes as
a complete skeptic about everything
except life itself.
Reca)ls Court Case.
One of the stories he recalled
about the late justice concerned
an argument before the Supreme
Court on an appeal from a circuit
court decision that the Federal in
come tax law did not apply to life
estates.
Mr. Holmes interrupted the argu
ment of an attorney urging that
the decision be upheld to say that
he was particularly interested in
the case because he was the re
cipient of a life estate himself.
"Then I hope you won't let this
abominable law take the bread out
of vour mouth,” Mr. Biddle quoted
the attorney as saying.
He said Mr. Holmes replied: ‘‘My
dear sir, nothing you have said in
your argument so far leads me to
hope.”
Joseph A. Rafferty, president of
the Barristers, presided at the din
ner.
