was established in 1949, contributed immensely from his ,nde
experience and knowledge, to the solution of difficult p~oblems
which have confronted this Administration. All members of this
Administration recognize and appreciate the extraordinary understanding
and patience which Judge Stone contributed to their deliberationss

In the work of this Administration, as well as in all of his
other associations and contacts, Judge Stone was a painstaking,
