CONGRESS UPHELD
ADMINISTRATIONS
Supreme Courts Daugherty
Ruling Gives Legislative
Branch Free Hand.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

! Having issued historic decision af-
| fecting the right of the Chief Execu-
tive to remove from office without the
| consent of the Senate. second opin-
ion of paramount importance in the
development of constitutional law now
has been handed down by the Supreme
Court of the United States in compeI-
ling witnesses to testify when request
cd nv either the Senate or the House
of Representatives.
The Supreme Court did not deal
with the question of how this power
NAV he abused and injustice done. IL
simply reiterated that Congress had
the power equivalent, indeed. 10 that
which the judicial branch of the GOV
eminent has always held. This TENDS
to strengt hen the theory uf the fathers
of the Constitution that each branch
of the Government shall be independ-
ent and shall. in a sense, act as
check on other branches of the GOV
eminent. The Gaze of Nal Daugherty,
who refused to testify before Sen
ate committee, grew TO some extent
out of the lack of confidence in the
Department Of Justice as expressed
by members of the minority party OF
the Senate.
New Element Introduced.
In most instances the inquisitorial
mowers of either house of Congress
would not be used to elicit testimony
In cases such as the Teapot Dome
sea ndal because the function of inves-
tigation properly belongs to- the De-
partment Of Justice. But this was
case in which persons in the depart
ment itself were suspected of leaning
toward the accused and this might he
odT nj fiOnG In
which members of the same party are
under fire.
Thus a. new decision introduces an
other element in the system of checks
and balances in the American con-
stitutional structure and enables
minority party to prosecute through
the powers of Congress those cases in
which the Department of Justice for
political or other reasons might seem
negligent.
Many Legal Obstacles.
Congress has always felt that the
right to investigate was inherent, but
the legal obstacles placed in recent
years against the summoning of wit |
nesses have been numerous. A sub |
poena from a congressional commit
tee now will mean more than 1t ever
has before. While for the time he |
ing it may mean recrudescence of |
the investigating fever, the check !
against abuse will he the power of
public opinion at the polls.
1t is only fair to state, however,
that even before the Supreme Court |
issued it's decision the spirit of most
witnesses has been one of co-opera-
ton and the cases of unwillingness
to testify have been the exception |
ather than the rule Those witnesses |
who have refused to testify have
found that their reticence has been
a prejudicial factor in their cases any
way The decision. therefore, will not
Immediately change the course of
events here, but as the potential pow
ers of Congress have been increased
there will he great deal more than
perfunctory attention paid to the re-
quests of congressional committees
hereafter.
