WASHINGTON. Feb 22 —
Three senators said today they un-
derstood President Roosevelt's can-
vass of possible Supreme Oourt ap-
pointees has narrowed to two men—
Dean Wiley Rutledge of the Uni-
versity of Iowa law school and
Senator Lewis B Schweilenbach
(D-Wa-sh).
The senators who asked anonym-,
ity. said they had received their
information from administration
autliorttle-s
Backers of, other candidates lor
toe seat vacated by Justice D.
Brandels refused to concede, how-
ever. that there were any tangible
indications either Rutledge or
Schweilenbach would be named
Senator Minton (D-Ind), an ad-
ministration supporter, said the
president would have every reason
to name Schweilenbach because the
latter "is able. Industrious, bril-
liant intellectually and has liberal-
ism in his heart."
Senator Guffey <D-Pa) said he
would like to see Schweilenbach
appointed "He is an excellent
man." Guffey said. "I don't believe
the president could do better "
Senator Gillette <D-Ia) who has
recommended Rutledge's appoint-
ment, said tiie president undoubt-
edly would choose a man having
“a liberal or progressive philoso-
phy,” He said Rutledge and Schwei-
lenbach would best meet this quali-
fication
Western senators have been clam-

THE EXTRA SAFETY OF

SAFETY-LOCK CORD BODY
The only tire made with the New Safety Lock
Cord Body and New Gear Grip Thread!!!!
N EVER before in our experience has a tire met with
such instant and unanimous approval as the new Firestone
Champion Tire. It’s the Safety Sensation of 1919! Our customer*
have started a word-of-mouth campaign that is making this
the biggest selling tire we’ve ever had. Already we are
reordering to meet the demand.
The marvelous gripping power of this amazing new tire,
so dramatically demonstrated in actual use has swept it to
amazing heights of popularity. Motor car manufacturers have
been so impressed by its superior performance that they have
adopted it for their 1939 models.
Why? Because the Firestone Champion Tire is an entirely
new achievement in safety engineering.
