Edgerton

Democrat Of Indiana, said he could
join in the expression of the chair

Borah, Republican of Idaho, made
known several days ago that his i'm
preston Of the article was that the
professor had not challenged the
courts power of review, but had mere
ly surveyed specific decisions and
their effect on the interests of the
country.
After the professor had given
summary OF his career. including seven
years on the faculty of George Wash
ington University, Chairman Burke
turned to the purpose Of the hearing
by asking the witness for his views
on judicial review, or whether you
think the country would be better of
if it did not exist"
Glad to Answer Questions.
"Ot course. will be glad to answer
any questions Of the committee"
Prof Edgerton replied, but 1 con-
fess they are academic since there Is
no proposal that I know of to dis
card judicial supremacy"
Il wouldn't be too sure Of that"
Chairman Burke interposed. and
Senator Van Nuys asked the nominee
if he had been reading any of the
speeches that have been made on the
court issue in recent months.
Senator Borah asked him II he ad-
mitted the courts power Of review.
Most decidedly 80, and legiti-
mately So" Prof. Edgerton promptly
responded. 1T Is just as much valid
part of our system rs any other part"
Declaring there had been some pub
lished reports indicating he regarded
the power had been usurped by the
courts, the nominee continued:
Il have never regarded IT as in any
degree a usurpation"
He added he believed the creation
of the power was intended by a great
ma jority Of the trainers of the Con-
stitution, and that it was very prop
erly established by John Marshall.
Would Uphold Constitution.
If I were q judge and called upon
to pass on the constitutionality of a
law I would unhesitatingly declare it
constitutional if found 1t was con-
trary to the Constitution as deter
mined by Supreme Court decisions"
"You are not a member OF the Ku
Klux Klan are you?" Senator Borah
inquired, bringing back recollections
Of the controversy that developed after
Justice Hugo L. Black had been con-
firmed for the Supreme Court.
Il am not" Prof Edgerton replied.
"And I may add that never have
BEEN"
Chairman Burke then explained the
subcommittee had not gone into Prof.
Edgertons article on judicial review
with any thought Of questioning the
right Of a lawyer to disagree with any
court decision, but merely to find out
whether he challenged the reviewing
power Of the court.
Senator Burke said the statement
in the article that the perpetuity of
the country did not necessarily depend
on the power Of the court to overturn
. law left him with the impression
the nominee might at least have An
open mind on the power of judicial
review exists. The Senator then
added, however, that Mr.. Edgerton,s
testimony had satisfied him, and the

Mother Goose Murals.

1t Is an axiom that there Is no
accounting for taste" Some people like
modern art, some hate it. Neither class
can be argued into contrary position.
Indeed, discussion appears to serve no
purpose but to promote intolerance.
The Mother Goose mural in the
Children's tuberculosis Hospital at Glenn
Dale, Md, illustrates the difficulty. 1t
was painted by Bernice Cross, a young
w. P. A. artist whose efforts have been
indorsed by many professional critics.
DR.. George Ruhland, District Health
Officer, regards 1t as "grotesque" and
wants 1t destroyed. Commissioner George
E. Allen has ruled that it will be judged
by jury Of competent" experts and a
psychologist. If it is eliminated, one
section of the public will be delighted,
another will be outraged.
Perhaps the best possible solution OF
the problem would be that of consulting
the children for whose entertainment
the pictures were designed Youngsters
usually are pretty definite about what
they want and what they do not want.
Their judgment may not appeal to adult
minds, but 1t should have the merit of
being frank and sincere. And it is an
unprejudiced verdict that is to be de-
sired in any controversy, not excluding
this current teapot tempest.
