"General" Hughes

Another famed name returned to federal service last week with the appointment by President Hoover of Charles Evans Hughes Jr. as U. S. Solicitor General. A partner in his father's Manhattan law firm, graduate of Brown University (1909) and Harvard Law School (1912), "General" Hughes, 40, succeeds to Attorney General Mitchell's old post. Long had been the President's search for a candidate; large seemed his reward. The new Solicitor General has a small son, Charles Evans Hughes III.
