Things stronger than Bryan Said.

Mr. Bryan's severe comments upon
the recent supreme court decision have
been denounced as reckless and wan

Justice Fuller and the senior associate
Justice Mr. Harlan, said concerning the
same decision Nj. Bryans comments

Harlan declared from the bench that

system Of government We will in

sututional liberty guarded and pro-
tectcd by "a written constitution, into
an era of legislative absolutism.' The
chief justice almost outdid Mr. Bryan
by saying that the majority view
meant this, "to overthrow the basis
