Bitterness in Other Days

Lest you shiver in your boots at the thought of the mine old men" going hysterical on us, 1t can be said that there have been previous instances where one group or an. other of justices has thought the majority was tearing everything down.
 When the majority might have ducked the issue in the Dred Scott case, but insisted on ruling as . matter of political or ecO- homie policy. there was similar
 bitterness. And fin Chief Justice

Turmoil Reigns in Supreme
 Court |. Bitterness Said
 to Be Cropping Out Among
 Nine Justices, Far Apart on
 New Deal Cases Opin-
 ions Give Clear Indications
 of Wide Split It's Not
 First Time DissensiOn Has
 Torn Tribunal.
 Washington, Jan. 22.y-The Grade A inside dope is that members of the U. s. Supreme Court are more wrought up emotionally than in many decades.
 The Ycalm judicial temperament" has taken wing and report is that feeling between conservative and liberal justices has become relative ly as bitter as that between New Dealers and anti-New Dealers in the arena of politics.
 On the one side are at least i've justices who appear to be grimly and in some cases hysterically con- vinced that they are the last bul- wark against the barbarian hordcs and that if they can only preserve the country until conservative again occupies the White House their lives will not have been spent in vain.
 On the other hand are the three liberals, Brandeis, Stone, and Car dozo, who are said to be infuriated by the willingness of other justices to rule on @ basis of policy or ex- pediency rather than law.
 Brandeis and Stone are under stood to have been especially angry during the courts secret discussion of the AAA case because they felt Hughes voted with Roberts, Me- Reynolds, Vandevanter, Sutherland, and Butler only because he felt that 6 5-to-4 decision would dimin- ish public confidence in the court.
