Supreme Court Roosevelt, 50

Do you remember, only four years ago,
when one of the major national issues was
not war in Europe but the conservatism
of the u S. Supreme Court? Do you recall
all the talk about mine old men," the
bitterness of the administration toward
the venerable juriStS who tossed out New
Deal legislation, including the AAA and
the NRA? And the rumorS that floated
around about how the President was 60
ing to "pack" the court by appointing
enough new justices to give him MAORI
ty over the conservative bloc?
It seems like yesterday; and yet, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has just appointed the
fifth New Dealer within period of less
than four years. With the nomination OF
Attorney General Frank Murphy to the
seat left vacant by the death of Justice
Pierce Butler, the score in favor of the
New Deal is now to 4-even II all OF the
older members consistently oppose the
administration, which they don't.
The new members of the high court
are all youngsters, as Supreme Court
justices 60. The latest appointee is AZ
wears old. Justice Douglas is AZ; Justice
Black. "a; Justice Reed, So; and Justice
Frankfurter, So. Barring untimely deaths
On destinations, the Rooseveltian influ-
ence viii remain on the high court bench
for MANY wears. Those four of the Old
Justice Hughes, Justices
stone. McReynolds and Roberts-must
feel little lonely at times. Since the last
presidential election three designations
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-09

and two deaths have cut down the roster
of the old court by more than half.
Of course, even before 1887, the Su-
preme Court was not Solidly anti-New
Deal. Justice CORDOBA, who died, and
Justice Brandeis, who resigned, were
generally sympathetic toward Roosevelt;
and Chief Justice Hughes from time to
time cast his vote against the majority.
But the liberals were still minority. The
members of the Supreme Court are APP
pointed for life. They are beyond the
influence of politics. Their decisions are
made on the basis of whatever interpre-
tations their personal PHILOSOPHERS make
of the law.
The law is not absolute. If it were,
many of the present duties of the courts
would be eliminated. The law is compli-
Gated network of restrictions and licenses
placed upon the actions of men, 1t is
made by men, interpreted by men. The
Interpretation depends largely on the
juristS attitude toward the whole Of So
ciety. Each Supreme Court justice has
tremendous responsibility toward the
nation. Upon the court rests the final
Judgment on new ideas and processes of
government. The new court-strictly
liberal court-may find itself, in years to
come, compelled to judge some of the
most vital acts in American history

Labor Board Gets Wink

Y AT a time when Congress, father OF the
! National Labor Relations Board, is
n gravely sitting complaints of the neigh
bors about its unruly offspring, the board
/ gets a broad wink and a reassuring pat
on the back from the U. S. Supreme
Court. Grandpa, apparently y, doesn't
give boot about what the neighbors are
saying. The Supreme Court decided that
the Labor Board had attained the age
of reason and that its actions weren't
!. subject to review by the courts Accord
ing to the rulings, the N. L. r. b, IS IN
itself a supreme court, after fashion -
q body iudicially self-sufficient. Congress
]. made It that way, the high court said,
& and If Congress doesn't like it's own
Ahandiwork, we'll
:. Specifically, the Supreme Court held
\ that no federal court may review a board
election order or a board certification OF
"a union as a collective bargaining agent
at least not until final ruling has been
!. handed down by the board If there was
any doubt about Congress revising the
Wagner Labor Act during the present
session, there can be very little now. 1t
is hardly likely that Congress meant, in
the first place, to create body with as
much power as has been sanctioned for
the N. L. r. B. Certainly, the Supreme
Court decision will play an important
part in any consideration Of amend
ments to the Wagner Act.
For some time the N. L. r. B. has been
the target of criticism by elements IN
whose interests it was established. En-
ployers have always felt jittery about 1t,
and both the c. I. o. and A. F. OF L. agree
that the Wagner Act should be changed,
although they have somewhat different
ideas on what changes should be made.
The current House investigation of the
N. l.. r. B. was an outgroWth Of these
criticisms. Early in the investigation, 1t
developed that the executives OF the
N. L. r. B. were not all one big, happy
family. Internal rivalries, schisms, and
? accusations interfered with the work OF
the board. DR.. William Leiserson, latest
member of the three-man board, found
! plenty wrong with the setup when he
took office last summer. It appeared
more certain as the investigation pro-
ceeded that changes were needed in the
law and that Congress would make those
changes. The Supreme Court decision
simply amplifies these sentiments.
To invest in any quasi-judicial body, no
matter how noble its objective, more
power than that accorded the federal
courts, is mistake. Even the federal
district courts decisions may be reviewed
by appellate courts. And the rulings of
the latter may be taken to the Supreme
Court for fin&l judgment If the U. S.
Supreme Court interprets the boards
powers to be as inclusive as the decision
indicates, then the mistake must be recti-
fed by Congress. No group of three men
should have that much power.
The decision demonstrates the require
ment for broad congressional review of
the entire labor act. The House Com
mittee's investigation will doubtless pro-
duce new possibilities for revision. What
ever is done finally to the act should be
done with view toward serving the best
interests of labor and employer alike.

A man you will probably never hear of
again was recently awarded the Soviet
Unions highest honor, the Order OF
Lenin, together with the title of Hero of
Socialist Labor. His name is Vastly Alex
eivitch Dektyaryeff, and his sole claim
to fame is design for more destructive
kind of machine guns. Comrade Dek-
tyaryeff's design is said by the U. s. s. r.
to be superior to many Of the best foreign
models. That means it can kill more men,
more swiftly. For such achievement,
Stain is willing to sing his praises
Science is like fret is both beneficial
and destructive. When nation is at war,
someone must figure out methods of de-
stroying the enemy; and for the moment,
such inventors are heroes But their claim
to Immortality is hung on the weakest of
threads. 1t is not the technician who
bends his talents toward destruction but
the scientist who creates and saves who
will be remembered. Mr. Dektyaryeff may
be a hero in the Soviet Union, but he Is
something entirely different in the rest
of the world.

Mrs Effie D. Carlton who, at the age
of fourteen, wrote the lullaby that has
rocked babies to sleep since 1885, came
to write the song more or less by acct
dent. She was visiting in Winthrop,
Mass, and callers baby showing some
restlessness as it lay in hammock, she
improvised the words from the nursery
rhyme and sang the melody that has
since lived-"R ock-a-Bye baby on the
tree top, when the wind blows the cradle
will rock" Not song, to be sure, that
added anything to vocal music, but a
popular lullaby that caught the general
fancy and which most everyone remem-
bers from his or her own infancy. Mrs.
Carlton died the other day at the Boston
City Hospital in comparative poverty.
She did greater things in her earlier life
than writing the lullaby, and Was an
actress for at least twenty-eight years.
However, most people never knew of her
as an actress, and had forgotten her ex-
istence if they ever knew of it. They knew
her lullaby. She never wrote another
song.

WHY NOT COLONEL FISHER?
(Hartford Times

The New Year finds the Demo-
cratic Party specializing how 1t can
regain the position of power 1t held
in Connecticut during the eight
years of the Cross regime.
First need is a candidate for Gov
ernor. The leaders Of the State have
canvassed a variety of names.
It is not the business of this
newspaper to pick candidate and
1t does not promise to do so. There
Is, however, no improperly In add
ing one more name to those that
have been discussed, or in suggest
ing qualifications that speak for
themselves as worth considering.
There is probably no ADLER citizen
in the Democratic party in Connec-
ticut than Colonel Samuel II. Fish
er of Ltcl6ield, who is generally re-
spected for ability and good judg-
ment as well as for his qualities as
a man.
Colonel Fisher is distinctly not a
politician. He is not likely to seek
the nomination. Very likely he
would deprecate the idea of becom-
ing a candidate. Considerable per-
suasion probably would be required
to induce him to accept a nomina-
ton.
If he were nominated, the Demo-
cratic party would offer man full
ly qualified to be governor, who has
demonstrated effectiveness in adj
ministration and capacity for lead
ership. and a man of integrity, In
tellectual as well as moral, Of vision.
and OF unselfish devotion to the
state, which he has been serving in
dustriously and intelligently In un-
paid places.
He would not be a political hack
He could not be ordered around. He
probably would be more interested
In giving Connecticut q business
like, clean-cut and high-class adj
ministration than In seeking par
tisan advantage behind every ques-
ton confronting him.
Perhaps the party doesn't want
that kind OF candidate. II 1t does.
the ColoneI's home Is In Litchfieid
and he can be reached there either
by mail, or by telephone, and BY
personal visitation.
He certainly could be offered to
the electorate with full certainty
that he merits It's confidence and its
votes and that Connecticut would
be well served II he were Governor
Beyond that, this newspaper has
nothing 70 say,

STATES NEW sUPER-BRrDGE
(New Britain Herald)

BY June Connecticut is to have
new Glass I bridge at its disposal, one
in the class of the Middletown-
Portland span. Pictures in the
Bridgeport Post show the piers prac-
tically completed. They look as i'm
pressive as those at Middletown.
This mighty span, though, will not
be a free one. It will be self
liquidating," which means that those
who use 1t as a link between the
Merritt Parkway and the Wilbur j.
Cross parkway will pay toll, probably
a dime. The bridge will span the
Housatonic river, three miles north
Of its month, and will also span an
existing highway along the river and
the New Haven railroad tracks.
CONSTRUCTION Of the bridge is in
plain sight Of travellers on the Wa
terbury branch railroad line between
New Britain and Bridgeport).
Highway Commissioner Cox's de-
partment is showing commendable
speed in pushing this enterprise. It's
first effect will be to eliminate the
Stratford bottleneck for travel en-
route to the Merritt Parkway. After
next June it will be possible to get
to the parkway from New Haven by
following the Milford cutoff and then
rolling to the bridge approach along
short new road.
There has been more action with
the Merritt Parkway during the past
two years than during the five pre-
ceding years. After all. the costly
Connecticut super-highway is for
the present generation, not the next
one.

LATEST BOOKS
Frogs Legs Aided
Electricity Advance

There are a thousand stories behind
that light switch on your wall,
that battery in your car, the
tubes in your radio. Alfred r.
Morgan tells them in 1.-THE Pa
geant Of Electricity Appleton
Century: $3.50, absorbing history
Of the whole development Of cleo
trical science. Here is a book TO
fash away the winter evenings,
keep for permanent reference.
Excepted briefly is the story Of
how frogs legs brought about the
first battery:
In 1880 Luigi Calvin of Bologna,
Italy, discovered a new electrical
phenomenon. He was studying frogs
nerves and had dissected a frog
which he laid on a table alongside
OF an electric machine. He noticed
that If he touched the freq. and at
the same moment a spark was taken
from the machine. the frogs legs
jumped and kicked.
A little later he observed that
suspending dead frog on an iron
railing by means of copper hook
caused twitchings in the muscles
of the frogs legs. When he drove
piece of brass wire into the
frogs spinal narrow and then al
lowed the wire to touch q piece OF
iron In contact with the legs OF the
frog. the dead legs would kick vio-
lently. Moreover, this same effect
could be produced with any other
pair Of metals besides brass and
iron; but electrical insulators gave
no result. He attributed this phen-
omenon TO something inherent In
the tissues Of the animal. He as
sumed that this force, which he
called vital fluid, passes from the
spine to the. legs over the pathway
provided by The metals.
Alessandro Volta repeated CAL
wants experiments and came to
believe that the electricity" pro-
duced did not come from the frogs
legs. He reasoned that the dead
frog kicked because an electric
current had been produced and
that the current was due to the
contact Of two different metals.
Volta made o pile Of q large
