incoming governor.
The organization of the house of
representatives was completed in short
order and without any undue friction
Withdrawal of Rep. Paul McKennon
Of johnson county from the race for
speaker of the house left Rep. Tom A.
Hill Of jefferson county unoppOsed and
Mr.. Hill was unanimously elected.
Mr.. McKennon voluntarily withdrew
from the speakership contest after it
was reported Mr.. Hill had 80 pledges
of support, or eight more than enough
to elect.
This act of Mr.. McKennOn ended
what is said to have been the longest
drawn-Out and most stubbornly con-
tested race for speaker in the his
tory of the Arkansas legislature. The
fight has been waged in every cOun-
ty in the state. Early in the contest,
Mr.. McKennOn is said to have had a
majority of the members of the house
pledged to support him. However,
when the report was broadcast that
the incoming administration favored
Mr.. Hill for the speakership, some of
McKennon's supporters asked to be re-
leased. 1t is conceded this report prov
ed the declining factor.
Several representatives were pledg-
ed to both candidates. Had the fight
been carried to the floor of the House.
those members would have found them
selves in an embarrassing situation.
When Mr.. McKennon withdrew he
announced he and his supporters would
rally TO the support of Mr. Hill and
the incoming administration. There
is no feeling of bitterness in our
hearts" Mr.. McKcnnou said. Il ms

Mr.. Solicitor General Beck. 81 the
United States Department 81 Justice,
has come forward with the novel sug-
gestion that the u. S. Supreme Court
might increase the value Of its serv-
ices to the good old u S A. BY ad-
rising Congress, from time to time,
as 10 the constitutionality 81 legisla-
ton, thereby keeping Congress of the
rocks Of decisive reversal Of its own
findings.
IN other words. for instance, the
supreme judiciary could inform Con-
Eress upon anti-lynching legislation.
the application Of the Fifteenth
Amendment and sundry matters of
national import, a. To which militant
Congressmen, particularly those from
the veTdantless Southland. delight to
repeat their oaths and reassert that in
no wise could they violate their
pledges to uphold the Constitution II
the United States. The significant
feature a. TO the doings of Congress
is that there is variety of opinion
as to what is constitutional This IS
evidenced in Congressman Tinkham' :
former bill. which was aimed To cut
down representation from the South
land, where Negroes have no say in
the selection of their representatives.
Hence. the nine learned jurists, free
from public sentiment, have. IN the
end, always been able to set Congress
straight
To advise Congress, N advance OF
legislation. however, would Be a novel
undertaking. Such Z plan would prob
ably be helpful from 4 selfish
standpoint, and Congressman sincerely
interested in new freedom for Ne
groes might give their constituency
greater aid than ever before. The
plan, though. to our humble mind,
despite our great respect for Solicitor
General Beck, would take away from
Congress the opportunity to fix its
own intentions as to proposed legisla-
ton Those intentions can only Be
fixed by full and free debate, and
pulse sounding Of all the people. In
tentions are the guiding stars of legis-
lation, and We do not think that the
PHILOSOPHERS Of judicial minds should
be transferred from our highest
bench, in advance. to the halls OF
Congress Let the doctrine of legal
precedents remain undisturbed.
