High Court Could Open WithoutChief
Washington — (UF)— Justice department sources indicated today that President Eisenhower is unlikely to name a new chief justice of the United States before the Supreme Court opens its 1953-54 session next Monday.
They disclosed that Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., has not yet made a recommendation to the White House on filling the post. And it was considered highly improbable that Mr. Eisenhower would appoint a successor to the late Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson without first obtaining the recommendation of Mr. Brownell, his chief legal adviser, and one of his closest political advisers as well.
The court therefore may open its fall session without a chief justice.
fall session without a chief justice. Speculation about possible appointees has centered around John J. Parker of Charlotte, N.C., chief judge of the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; Orie L. Philips of Denver, Colo.; chief judge of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Arthur T. Vanderbilt, chief justice of the New Jersey State Supreme court.
Mr. Brownell himself has been mentioned as a possible nominee. But Justice Department sources said he already has informed Mr. Eisenhower that he is not a candidate for the post. They quoted him as saying that he wanted to be attorney general and nothing more for the time being.
Among possible political appointments, the names of Gov. Earl Warren of California and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York have figured prominently.

Rhee Refuses U.S. Plan For Korean Unification
New York—(U.P)—President Syngman Rhee of South Korea said today he would not accept a reported United States plan for the neutralization of his country, the New York Times reported in a dispatch from Seoul.
The newspaper said Mr. Rhee in an interview was sharply critical of the Allies for planning a solution of the Korean question without first consulting the South Korean government. He renewed his threat to fight, if he must, for the unity of his country, the Times reported.
The American plan, reported to have the support of Britain, Canada and France, calls for the neutralization and unification of North and South Korea, the withdrawal of foreign troops, and a pact against aggression.
"We cannot take seriously any proposal for the neutralization of Korea so long as we have powerful aggressor nations which are left unpunished and unconverted from their violent ways," Mr. Rhee was quoted as saying.
"Even if all members of the United Nations should guarantee our neutrality," Mr. Rhee told the Times, "we would not accept that status since so many nations are undecided on whether to stand on the communist or democratic side, whereas the whole Soviet bloc is armed to the teeth for aggressive warfare."
Mr. Rhe recalled that his government had postponed action towards its goal of unifying the north and south by military means and has entered a mutual defense treaty with the United States.
He told the Times that if 90 days after the scheduled Korean peace conference his country has failed to achieve unification, "then naturally we shall resume the battle for our national independence and unity."
He added that "any plan or program entered into by a friendly nation which is contrary to this determination of ours will not be accepted or respected by us," the Times reported.
