when the composer was 13 years

Mendelssohn’s genius.’

Learned Hand, ‘Judge's Judge/
Will Retire From Bench June 1
■
79-Year-Old Jurist
Says He Will. Still
Continue Work
ty the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 17.—Chief
Judge Learned Hand of the United
States Second Circuit Court of
Appeals in New York—who became
known as the “Judge’s Judge”
during 42 years on the bench—
will retire next month.
The 79-year-old jurist’s request
for retirement was announced yes
terday in Washington. The White
House said that President Tru
man’s approval will become effec
tive June 1.
Judge Hand coihmented that
“it doesn’t mean I’m going to
quit being a judge. I expect to
continue to work, mostly in the
District Court."
Retired Federal judges always
are on call for assignments.
The late Supreme Court Justice
Benjamin N. Cardozo, in referring
to Judge Hand, once said “the
greatest living American jurist
isn’t on the Supreme Court.”
Judge Hand’s best known opin
ions of recent years were in the
cases of the 11 Communist leaders
convicted of conspiracy, and Jud
ith Coplon, former Government
employe convicted of espionage.
In the case of the Communist
leaders, Judge Hand’s court denied;
their appeal and upheld the con
sutuuonamy oi tne amiui Act,
which makes it a crime to teach
and advocate violent overthrow of
the Government.
The court’s decision written by
Judge Hand reversed the convic
tion of Miss Coplon on the ground
that the FBI agents who arrested
her did not have a warrant, and
had had ample time to get one.
Born in Albany, N. Y., in 1872,
the judge was christened Billings
Learned Hand, but he dropped the
first name in favor of his middle
name—the maiden name of his
mother.
His grandfather, Augustus
Hand, was a justice of the New
York State Supreme Court. His
father. Samuel, was a noted law
yer who served briefly as an asso
ciate judge of the New York State
Court of Appeals.
Two uncles were noted lawyers.
A cousin, Augustus N. Hand, 81,
has served with him for many
years on the United States Court
of Appeals.
Learned Hand was appointed to
the Federal district bench by
Communist War Plans
Denied by Korean Radio
By th« Associated Press
TOKYO, May 17.—The Korean
Red radio charged today that
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s re
port on Communist war plans was
“false and fabricated.”
, The Allied commander reported
to the United Nations May 2 that
captured Red documents proved
the North Koreans issued their
final battle orders on June 18, a
week before the invasion of South
Korea.
It is estimated that about 24

Man Wounds Co-ed Wife
And Her Friend, Kills Self
By th« Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 17.—A hus
band shot and wounded his es
tranged wife—a co-ed—and an
other man and then killed him
self on the campus of Wright
Jpnior College last night.
Two blasts fired from a .410
gauge shotgun by Fred Souers, jr„
29-year-old mechanic, disrupted
evening classes at the college at
3400 North Austin avenue. About
200 students left their classes and
rushed to the scene.
Parts of one charge from the
shotgun blast struck Mrs. Mar
garet Iden Souers, 25, and her
friend, Kenneth Trader, 26, a
roofer. Their condition was re
ported not serious.
Then Souers, after removing his
left shoe and sock, placed the
muzzle of the shotgun against his
abdomen, pressed the trigger with
his toe and fired a fatal charge
into his body.
Police said Souers had gone to
the college in an attempt to effect
a reconciliation with his wife,
who had filed suit for divorce.
The couple, parents of a 3-year
old daughter, had separated seven
weeks ago.
