Washington, D.C. In full: "Many thanks for your valuable and
interesting letter of February 13th. I am indeed glad to have your comment on
the bills introduced by me to provide for Public Defender in the District Courts
of the country and of the District of Columbia. The information you have given
me as to the status of the business in these courts will be very helpful in the
consideration of this measure. I think your recommendations are very good and I
wish you to know that your interest in the proposed legislation is indeed
appreciated by me. Cordially yours," Capper (1865-1951), a newspaper
publisher and owner of two radio stations, was Republican Governor of Kansas
(1915-1919) and U.S. Senator (1919-1949). His paper, Capper's Weekly,
had a readership that extended throughout Kansas and is still a prominent
magazine today. JUDGE DUCAN LAWRENCE GRONER (1873-1957) was first
