No Constitutional Fight

It s reagsuring to know that for the present, at least, there is to be no strug- gle over the federal Constitution. The President and Congress seem content to handle the serious problems still facing the government through normal legis- Iatiyc procedure. In this work the Prcsi- dent has urged the Supreme Court to help by giving az liberal interpretations as possible to constitutional principles rather than holding to the narrowcst view of the basic law.
 Some critics zee in this appeal threat, ag if the executive were gaying to the Court; "Stretch the law in our favor, or clse-~l" And 50 dignifcd powerful body as the United States Supreme Court doesn't like to be threatened. But such an interpretation of the Presidents attitude ig unnecessary. Even if a constitutional struggle were inevitable, 1t would be better 10 preserve the amenities ag long as possible.
 Everybody, including the nine justices, knows that the President and Congress together have power 10 change the num- bcr personnel and procedure of the Supreme Court, in ways that would make it more pliant to their wishes But few intelligent people want any such thing done, even for reasons vital 10 the rla- tionaI welfare, If there fig any other way.

Everybody is vcnturing guess these days as to how and why Senator J. Kenneth Bradley Of Wcgtport suffered 4 defeat at the z. 0. ?. cauc # 10 pick Senate leaders, Senator F. Ga or Brennan won the leadership securing five Of the eight votes that were cast at the caucus. It ig believed that Senator Bradley did not cast vote, evidently believing that the selection of himself was "in the bag" The shock must have quite unnerved the Young Republican leader. It also will take quite bit Of starch out of the sails of republican hopcfnls who were tying their kites to Bradlcy'g. His spectacular capture of the headlines in the last few years have evidently not set too well with older leaders. They don't like to lose their grip on political affairs and such incl. dents as this prove that they don't rclinqnish them without q struggle. The setback for Bradley will be temporary one, we gucge. The next time he won't take anything for granted, even where his own party is concerned.
