SUPREME COURT VACANCY

The President told advisers that he wanted to put off filling Jus tice Byrnes' vacancy on the Su- preme Court until after elections. Meanwhile the pressure from the Senate to appoint Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky has become so great that FDR almost wishes he had not delayed,
 Roosevelt is extremely fond of Rarkley, values his services in the Senate and feels grateful to him. But there are two handid- caps in the path of Barkley's ap- pointment: (D his age, 65, is con- trary to the Presidents 1887 thesis that the Court should be staffed with younger men: (2) a Ken tuekian already is on the Supreme Court.
 Tn fact there are already two justices from the South, Hugo Black of Alabama and Stanley Reed of Kentucky, while there is none from west of Michigan.
 Therefore, the White House has been subject to pressure to appoint Judge Wiley Rutledge of the U. $. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, former Dean of Law at the State Uni- verslty of Iowa.
 Though Felix Frankfurter Is op- posed to him, Rutledge happens to be the candidate of Chief Jus tice Stone, who would like to see a judge rather than a Senator appointed. Also, in view of the fact that Burnes has resigned and there have been rumors that Jus tices Murphy and Douglas might go into war work, the Chief Jus tice says a little plaintively: "T want someone who will stay."

Golf VS.. Bowling

The odds against making a hole
in-one in golf are about 10000 to
one, while the odds against max

ing on new alleys with new pins is
about 100000 to one. In other
words, it is far easier to shoot a

fairy tales has passed en-
l. tirely out of the picture,
and it is today's stepchild who
is becoming the real problem
and the real tyrant.
No longer does a red-faced,
harsh-voiced harridan of a
second mother jerk and slap
and whip her predecessors
children, forcing them to do
all the drudgery of the house
hold, shutting them in closets,
dressing them in her own chill
dren's cast off clothes. The
unwonted flood of stepmoth-
ers that our present era of divorces
has created is more inclined to
make friends of the children, study
child psychology, send them to ex-
pensive schools and arrange for su-
pervised Saturday amusement.
But today's children don't COOP
crate, which isn't surprising, when
one considers that many of them
come from homes where there was
quarreling and coldness, that their
tortured little loyalties have been
torn this way and that, that they
have heard Mommy's side of it and
Daddy's side of it until they don't
know to whom, if indeed to anybody,
they owe obedience and respect.
Stepdaughter Is Problem.
Here is a letter from Vera Ad-
ans on the subject.
81 am 49," writes Vera. 81 have
been married one year. When I met
my husband I was employed as
stenographer in his office, and he
was boss. He had wife five years
older than himself, whose health
was not very good, also daughter
Alice, now ten years old. One dark
rainy afternoon when I was delayed
at the Office, he happened to come
in, and we discovered our love for
each other. Immediately I resigned
my job, found work in distant city,
and even refused to correspond with
him. The first time he kissed me
was when he took me to the train.
That winter he came twice to see
me, our relationship always what it
should be. I asked him to tell his
wife; he was unwilling to do this
for fear of hurting her. But when I
had gone and we were not even
writing each other he did do so, tell
ing her that because of his affection
for her and Alice he was not asking
her to make any change. She ap-
parently accepted this situation and
things went on for some weeks, after
which in a fit of dependency, for
she had been in poor health for some
time, she either deliberately or in
carelesSness took an overdose of
sleeping medicine and died in her
sleep.
"Seven months later Aleck and l
were married, and I stepped from
the lonely life I had been living
into the greatest happiness woman
can know. l have beautiful home,
two good servants, and most gen.
erous and loving husband. The real
trouble is Alice. She has never been
trained or disciplined in any way.
She is rude, disobedient and sly, and
she does all she can to make trouble
between her father and myself. But
Aleck adores her, she can do moth
ing wrong, and especially since her
mothers tragedy she has had en-
tirely her own way. With her moth
er lived an unmarried cousin, and if
Alice is crossed in any way she
begins to cry, Cousin Phyllis lets
me have it, or do it, or whatever
it is.

PEOPLE WANT NEWS
(Arthur Robb, an Editor and
Publisher)

The American people want news
that makes for confidence, whether it
is good news or bad. Well take the
latter as it happens. We want news
told with a reasonable regard for con-
tinuity and consecutiveness. We
don't want box scores or play-by play
reports. We do want news that will
permit us to understand what is hap
pening to our forces what they are
doing to the enemy, what the enemy
is doing to US. We know that it can
not be done on day-to-day basis.
We have the hunch, however, that
there is big gap between day-by-da
reporting and the long lapses that
have occurred between events and our
knowledge of them. We also believe
that true sequence of events is i'm
portant in interpreting their meaning,
and that our services have not been
sufficiently conscious of that element
in the reports to US.
We believe also that there is a pro-
found need for closer trust and CO.
operation between the armed services
and the civilian authorities who have
the say on what ought to be printed
and what must not be printed.
