Argued: Oct. 9, 1949. --- Decided: April 10, 1950
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS concurs in the reversal of the judgment. Since, however, counsel requested that all government employees be excluded from the jury in these cases, he thinks the request should have been granted for the reasons stated by the dissenting Justices in Frazier v. United States, 335 U.S. 497, 69 S.Ct. 201, and in Dennis v. United States, 339 U.S. 162, 70 S.Ct. 519.
Mr. Justice CLARK took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

United States Supreme Court
339 U.S. 258
Morford v. United States
Argued: Oct. 9, 1949. --- Decided: April 10, 1950
In this case the trial court did not permit counsel for petitioner to interrogate prospective government employee jurors upon voir dire examination with specific reference to the possible influence of the 'Loyalty Order,' Executive Order No. 9835, 5 U.S.C.A. § 631 note, on their ability to render a just and impartial verdict. Such questioning was permitted in Dennis v. United States, 339 U.S. 162, 70 S.Ct. 519; see n. 4 of the Court's opinion, Id., 339 U.S. 170-171, 70 S.Ct. 522.
We said in Dennis that 'Preservation of the opportunity to prove actual bias is a guarantee of a defendant's right to an impartial jury.' Id., 339 U.S. 171-172, 70 S.Ct. 523. Since that opportunity was denied in this case, the petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed.
Mr. Justice BLACK and Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER concur in the reversal for the reasons expressed in their opinions in Dennis v. United States, 339 U.S. 162, 70 S.Ct. 519.

The question in this case is that of the construction of section 302(c) of the Revenue Act of 1924, c. 234, 43 Stat. 253, 304 (26 USCA § 1094 note), a provision similar to that of section 402(c) of the Revenue Act of 1918, c. 18, 40 Stat. 1057, 1097, which has already been construed by this Court, and, in this view, there being no question of the constitutional authority of the Congress to impose prosepctively a tax with respect to transfers or tursts of the sort here involved, the judgment of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit 44 F.(2d) 902 is reversed upon the authority of May v. Heiner, 281 U.S. 238, 50 S.C.t. 286, 74 L. Ed. 826, 67 A. L. R. 1244.

# My Airships/Concluding Fable

MORE REASONING OF CHILDREN
DURING these years Luis and Pedro, the ingenious country boys whom we found reasoning of mechanical inventions in the Introductory Fable of this book, have spent some time in Paris. They were present at the winning of the Deutsch prize of aerial navigation; they spent the winter of 1901-2 at Monte Carlo; had good places at the review of the 14th July 1903; and have broadened their education by the sedulous reading of scientific weeklies and the daily newspapers. Now they are preparing to return to Brazil.
The other day, seated on a café terrace of the Bois de Boulogne, they chatted of the problem of aerial navigation.
"These tentatives with dirigible balloons, so called, can bring us no nearer to its solution," said Pedro. "Look you, they are filled with a substance—hydrogen—fourteen times lighter than the medium in which it floats—the atmosphere. ​It would be just as possible to force a tallow candle through a brick wall!"
"Pedro," said Luis, "do you remember your objections to my waggon wheels?"
"To the locomotive engine?"
"To the steamboat?"
"Our only hope to navigate the air," continued Pedro, "must, in the nature of things, be found in devices heavier than the air—in flying machines or aeroplanes. Reason by analogy. Look at the bird. . . ."
"Once you desired me to look at the fish," said Luis. "You said the steamboat ought to wriggle through the water. . . ."
"Do be serious, Luis," said Pedro in conclusive tones. "Exercise common-sense. Does man fly? No. Does the bird fly? Yes. Then, if man would fly, let him imitate the bird. Nature has made the bird. Nature never goes wrong."
# Household stories from the collection of the Bros Grimm (L & W Crane)/Mr. Korbes

other versions: Mr. Korbes
COCK and a hen once wanted to go a journey together. So the cock built a beautiful carriage with four red wheels, and he harnessed four little mice to it. And the cock and the hen got into it, and were driven off. Very soon they met a cat, who asked where they were going. The cock answered,
"On Mr. Korbes a call to pay, And that is where we go to-day!"
"Take me with you," said the cat. The cock answered,
"Very well, only you must sit well back, and then you will not fall forward."
"And pray take care Of my red wheels there; And wheels be steady, And mice be ready On Mr. Korbes a call to pay, For that is where we go to-day!"
Then there came up a millstone, then an egg, then a duck, then a pin, and lastly a needle, who all got up on the carriage, and were driven along. But when they came to Mr. Korbes's house he was not at home. So the mice drew the carriage into the barn, the cock and the hen flew up and perched on a beam, the cat sat by the fireside, the duck settled on the water; but the egg wrapped itself in the towel, the pin stuck itself in ​the chair cushion, the needle jumped into the bed among the pillows, and the millstone laid itself by the door. Then Mr. Korbes came home, and went to the hearth to make a fire, but the cat threw ashes in his eyes. Then he ran quickly into the kitchen to wash himself, but the duck splashed water in his face. Then he was going to wipe it with the towel, but the egg broke in it, and stuck his eyelids together. In order to get a little peace he sat down in his chair, but the pin ran into him, and, starting up, in his vexation he threw himself on the bed, but as his head fell on the pillow, in went the needle, so that he called out with the pain, and madly rushed out. But when he reached the housedoor the mill-stone jumped up and struck him dead.
What a bad man Mr. Korbes must have been!
# Nagle v. Rutledge/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
100 U.S. 675
Nagle v. Rutledge
To give us jurisdiction in cases coming from the Supreme Court of the Territory of Wyoming, the value of the matter in dispute must exceed $1,000. This writ of error was sued out by the defendant below on a judgment against him for only $969.63. It is claimed we have jurisdiction, however, because the defendant in his answer set up a counter claim for $1,340. The only question presented here on that branch of the case is whether the plaintiff below was liable for interest on a note of $210, at the rate of three per cent a month from the twenty-fourth day of June, 1872, until the date of the judgment, July 26, 1876, or for some shorter period. In no event could the amount thus put in controversy reach $1,000; and since if error should be found in the charge of the court on this claim, it would only result in a reduction of the judgment as it now stands, and not in an actual money recovery in favor of the defendant below, it follows that our jurisdiction is not shown by the record, and that the suit must be dismissed.
So ordered.

       We who sign this below with our true names, all leaders of the Army convened at a meeting presided over by the Supreme President to discuss the critical situation of the pueblos and the revolution; having discerned that certain chiefs have committed Treason by destroying the strength that comes from unity, by coming to an agreement with the Spanish enemy and deceiving the soldiers, and also by neglecting to tend to the wounded, it is therefore our resolve to rescue the people from this grave danger by the following means:
          First: all troops shall be unified, by persuasion or force, under the command of the Most Respected Mr Pio del Pilar.
          Second: we shall recognize no authority other than reason, and all the loyal leaders who from the outset and until now have been seen not to have committed Treason or turned their backs on their sworn duty.
          Third: whoever commits treason shall immediately merit the ultimate punishment.
       This is our agreement, and we swear before God and the country of our birth not to betray it unto the grave
