(10) Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson of the Fifth Circuit Court
at Houston Texas, who is regarded as one of the outstanding members
of the bench in that area. He should not be asked to serve if
Mr. Simmons, also of Houston, accepts.
(11) 0. Max Gardner, former Governor of North Carolina, now
practicing law in Washington, where he is well known.
(12) William Thomas Laprade, Professor of History at Duke
University and former President of the American Association of
University Professors. He has written extensively on historical
subjects.
Bevin urges that each Government appoint seven members and
that the Commission work through sub-committees. I have urged that
each Government appoint five members. Bevin is to advise me of his
appointments. If he names members of Parliament it may require that
we name two members of the Congress. We would have to select men
who have not committed themselves with reference to the subject
matter; otherwise we would destroy the impartial character of the
Commission. Because it is agreed that the Commission should be
impartial it may be that we could justify appointing no man from the
Congress when we know that they have been called upon in campaigns
to make pledges on this subject. It really is not a friendly service
to a Senator of Congressman to appoint him to this Commission. It
may embarrass him.
