| Info | NORMAN STANLEY CASE was born in Providence, Rhode Island. Son of John Warren Case and Louise Marea (White) Case; married, June 28, 1916, to Emma Louise Arnold. He graduated from Brown University in 1908 and studied law at both Harvard University and Boston University Law School, graduating from BU in 1912. He served with the Rhode Island National Guard on the Mexican border in 1916 and as Captain of a machine gun battalion in Europe during World War I. He practiced law in Providence and served on the Providence City Council during the war years despite being absent from the country.
U.S. District Attorney 1921-1926. Appointed by President Warren Harding
Lt. Governor (R-RI) 1927-1928
Governor (R-RI) 1928-1933. He became acting governor upon the death of Aram Pothier in 2/1928, winning election in his own right later that year and being re-elected in 1930. Case served as governor during the Great Depression, and in the belief that local government held primary responsibility for assisting the unemployed and needy, he supported a law to permit cities and towns to borrow from the state's reserves at an interest rate of three percent. He lost the election of 1932.
In 1934 President Roosevelt appointed Case to the Federal Communications Commission, a post that he held until 1945, when he resumed the practice of law with a firm in Washington, DC.
