Click on image to zoom in
John Allison is interested in filling the recent vacancy in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, or an opening in the Court of Claims. He is qualified for the position and views it as a promotion from his current job, which does not pay sufficiently. Even though he is a Southern Democrat, Allison will not act against President Roosevelt’s plans.
