President Truman promoted Harold R. Medina, the federal district judge who presided over the conviction of the nation’s 11 top Communists, to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. He also nominated Thomas F. Murphy, former assistant U.S. attorney and New York police commissioner, to succeed Medina. Murphy prosecuted Alger Hiss for lying about government secrets. Hiss serves a five-year prison term.
Murphy reportedly resigned as a federal attorney in New York last September due to lack of promotion in the Hiss case. President Truman also nominated Frieda B. Hennock, a federal communications commissioner, to the New York district court. All three nominations await Senate confirmation.
