O'NEILL __ II l nave paia tribute many times to Frank Murphy when he was living, but it seems difficult to write about him now that he is dead. One rea- , son is that it is hard to realize that he is gone. A lot of peo Dle will miss Frank Murphy. His family will miss him. His liberal friends on the supreme court will miss him. But most of all, the little people of the world will miss him. Shorty after Frank was ap pointed to the surpreme court, he took me into his study in the Washington hotel. and pointed to a stack of law books. "That's where I spend my evenings," he said. 'The newspapers say that I'm no lawyer. They make fun of my legal ability. But they're going to be disappointed. And you're going to be proud of my opinions," he continued. There was something of the boy in Frank Murphy—to the very end. He loved praise, hated criticism, and was al ways a ilttle worried as to what kind of supreme court justice he would be. He should n’t have been, for I am sure that some of Frank’s dissents will stand up—as he so ardent ly hoped—alongside the ring ing defenses of freedom writt- | en by Holmes. More import ant, Frank Murphy will al ways be known as one of our great champions of the com- | mon man. Murphy became attorney general in January, 1939, and immediately launched the big gest political cleanup this! country has ever seen. U. S. i Judge Martin T. Manton, of the second circuit court i n New York, had been getting away with graft for years. Many people knew this, but other attorneys general had let it pass. In Louisiana, this column had exposed shocking graft by the old Huey Long gang. Frank Murphy took the col umns, with supporting affidav its, called a grand jury, flew to New Orleans himself, and in record time convicted Gov. Richard Leche, the Democra tic national committeeman, the head of the WPA, the presi dent of the state university, and several others. In Missouri, the newspap ers had talked about the graft of the Pendergast ma chine, but Washington paid no attention. But, under Frank Murphy, a tough dis trict attorney—Maurice Mill igan of Kansas City — got justice department support, and Tom Pendergast ended up behind the bars. ramie vuy agamsr our doss Nuckv Johnson, and started to move against Boss Hague in Jersey City and Mayor Kelly in Chicago. The latter two were democrats. • • A Kicked Upstairs It was widely rumored when Frank Murphy retired as at torney general to join the sur preme court that he was "kick ed upstairs” in order to pro tect the Democratic bosses. I have a personal reason for be lieving this was true. However, it should also be noted that with the death of Justice Pierce Butler, a Cath olic, in November, 1939, Roos evelt wanted a Catholic to take his place. Likewise, it was true that FDR’s fair-hair ed boy, Robert H. Jackson, was being groomed for the presidency, and the White House wanted the justice de partment spotlight to play on him. I am convinced, however, that the first factor—calling Murphy off the heels of the big-city bosses—was the most important. And here is my reason for thinking so. By this time—early in 1940 —most of the Louisiana scan dals had been cleaned up. and a grand jury was considering the indictment of Mayor Rob ert Maestri of New Orleans on a hot oil charge. Suddenly, Chief Prosecutor O. John Rog ge was called out of the jury room to answer the telephone from Washington. Returning to the jury room, he suspended the grand jury proceedings. Learning of this mysteri us move, II went to Frank Murphy and asked for an explanation. Murphy told the truth. Mayor Maestri was not to be indicted, he said. He had received orders from the White House. That was 1940—a presidential year. In order to get the nom ination, FDR needed the sup port of the big-city bosses, and in Louisiana the only man,who could deliver the delegation was Mayor Maestri. IVAN C.
