Emotional Luw-Mukino

A nice test of the Executives as
against the powers of Congress lies
in the fate of Messrs Dodd, Watson
and Lovett. whom the House wants
separated from the public payroll.
But an even more fragrant example
of dictation by Congress as to who
shall and shall not work in the eX-
ecutive departments is the possible
dismissal, by August Is, of a number
of OPA price officials who lack "eX-
perience in business, industry or
commerce" The number involved is
uncertain, evidently depending upon
the Controller Generals interpreta-
tton of what is meant by directing
any program of price policy, price
ceiling or maximum price" If the
Controller General should decide that
the chiefs of branches and field dis
trict Offices, as we'll as the heads of
OPA's six price divisions, are "di-
recting' price policy programs with
In the meaning of the statute, the
OPA will lose the services of many
able men.
The incident illustrates the ten
dency in Congress to 60 too far once
it gets started in applying rem
edy for an unpopular condition.
For Congress is proceeding blindly
and recklessly when it DEGREES. in
effect, that college professors can
not be placed in certain policy
making positions. The test of fitness
should rest on the college professors
ability, not his previous condition of
servitude. There are men of purely
academic background and expert
ence who have done excellent Jobs
at OPA and whose services, for the
good of the cause, should be retained.
On the other hand, their number,
and the foolish errors some of them
have made, created the condition
which brought this form Of arbitrary
retaliation against all of them.
What we need in the public service
are men who have the temperament,
the brains and the understanding to
accomplish what they we're hired to
do. To require experience in bust
ness as a prerequisite for certain
positions is desirable. But to require
the discharge of officials who have
demonstrated their value, merely be-
cause they lack business experience,
Is most unfair to the competent
men and is injurious to the pub
lie service. The amendment about
to produce this result would not have
been adopted by Congress less
violently antagonistic to such terms
as college professor and bureau
crat' or less anxious to hurry up
and get away for summer vacation.
But if any remedy for this manifest
exhibition of emotional law-making
can be found in time, it certainly
should be applied,

Palermo

The site of Palermo has so many
natural advantages that it was Ger
tain from the start to be the scene
of activity Of prime Importance.
Phoenicians allegedly were the
earliest settlers. The Greeks called
the colony Panormus, and the
Carthaginians made the town mill
tary stronghold. Roman armies and
naval forces captured it in 254 BIC,
and Hamilcar Barca besieged it for
three years in vain attempt to
recover its possession. Augustus
strengthened the community by in
creasing its loyal population, but the
Barbarians took it and held it until
Belisarius retrieved it in 535. The
Arab period of occupation extended
from s31 until 1912, and the city
prospered under Mohammedan rule.
But it is to the Normans that the
capital of Sicily owes It's principal
fame. They had for their leader that
Count Roger the Great of the house
of d'Hauteville who ranks among the
most distinctivel, eminent COM
manders who eve. have lived. He
conquered the Island of Fire very
much as the Allies now are conquer
ing It, Messina, Emma and Troina
fell before him. Says Donald Ordway:
ut was only after ten years of con-
slant fighting, however, that Palermo
was taken with perilous encounters
on the scaling ladders, at the gates,
and within the city. The old his
torians have written that during the
siege certain Moslem knight
arrayed in black armor used to sit
on his horse in one of the open but
well-defended gateways until Rogers
young nephew, angered at the calm
insolence of this infidel, rode at him
and killed him, but found himself
within the city and the way of return
barred by oak and iron. Squirting his
horse, he rode forward at great speed,
killing and trampling until he had
crossed the entire city. Then he
escaped through another gate which
was lightly defended"
Such tales are legion in number.
When the struggle ended, the victors
were tender with their prize. They
saw that only by its preservation

tice Let's in District Court refused to
issue the restraint, holding that the
price-flxing and price posting viola
tons disclosed had been innocent
in character; that the company had
made reimbursement for overcharges
and was making every effort to COM
ply with the law, and that if there
were new violations they would be
unintentional. The OPA did not
allege that the violations were willful.
"An injunction would have no
effect by way of insuring better COM
pliance in the future and would be
unjust to the defendant. An in
junction would not be in the public
interest,"" Justice Let's said.
This is all brushed aside by the
Court of Appeals majority, which,
while admitting that the limitation
upon the courts discretion is I'M
usual" holds that the language in
the law shows that Congress in
tended injunctions to be mandatory
To this, Chief Justice GrOner said:
More than appears, I think, is
necessary to justify the assumption
that Congress intended to coerce
judicial action and destroy judicial
discretion"
The undesirable aspect of an in
depreciation which makes no distinc-
ton as between violations, whatever
their degree, is obvious. No law thus
interpreted can hope for popular
support in its enforcement, for it
plainly violates common sense and
ordinary justice. If OPA proceeds
in accordance with the philosophy
implied in the Court of Appeals rul-
ing it is apt to render itself
impOtent.

Face up to the nandicaps of your life.
Don't dodge them. Make them doors
through which God may give you per-
sonal power. That is the way to kind
of life which is not dependent upon any,
thing physical, economic or social, for 1t
is that quality of life with which disease,
death and poverty have nothing to do.
Inadequacy is the way of Illustration,
cowardice and fear. Fellowship with the
Eternal brings the sense of adequacy,
moral fullness and personal reinforce
ment. From the eternal springs of God
comes courage for whatever the days
ahead may hold for you and yours and
for me and mine.
This courage will undergrad love. In
many lives the streams of hate are flow
ing faster. Every psychologist knows
what that does for peoples lives. Sow
generation of hate, no matter what
the cause, and reap another generation
Of twisted lives. If love is to be sus-
tanned, even health itself, courage rooted
in personal experiences with Christ may
be the way to do it.
Courage must also undergrad char
acter What we have been accustomed
to call normality may not come again
in the lifetime of most of us. When the
ancient landmarks break down for many
people it is difficult to be aware of any,
thing beyond the low pressures of the
moment. Uncertainty for too many peo-
Pile means loss of integrity. Character
is thus dependent upon moral courage.
Courage must undergrad faith Of course,
faith and courage feed each other. But
the kind of courage we are studying
today helps man to believe in the high
and permanent when only the low is
visible. Courage Of the rarest type may
be needed to keep alive faith in the hu-
man race, beyond national patriotism,
when men struggle today in such brutal
warfare. 1t takes courageous faith In
telligently to hold our convictions in a
moral universe when these moral p1in-
ciples are violated on so many fronts
today.
Give Christ your confidence and He
will give you His courage.

he treated all conditions of people
with the same patient tolerance. The
tradition of his justice persisted for
centuries Only by remembering it,
can modern reader comprehend the
massacre of the Sicilian Vespers in
1882 by which the Angevin tyrants
were expelled. The Spanish viceroys
who followed them were poor admin
istrators, yet they left monuments
which testify TO their wish to deserve
a good opinion. Revolutionary gov
ernments involved the town in two
bombardments-in 1948 and 1880.

Price Law Decision

In reversing the District Court de-
cision denying an injunction against
the Hecht Company in price
control suit instituted by the Office
of Price Administration, the Court
of Appeals has broadened greatly the
authority of the price-fxing agency
and CORRESPONDENCE narrowed that
of the courts. Summed up, the ap-
pellate ruling is that when a concern
has violated OPA regulations, even
though Internationally, and the OPA
seeks an injunction against further
violation, court has no alternative
but to grant the order. If an injunc-
ton is issued violation of any sort
would carry the threat of contempt
proceedings.
This is a harsh doctrine, and one
that ignores the equities involved.
The Court of Appeals dismisses this
factor as of no moment
in order to justify the granting
of an injunction under an express
and unrestricted statutory authority
(which the court itself read into the
Emergency Price Control Act of
1912 no balancing of equities is nee
essary, and neither threatened ire
parable injury nor lack of an ade-
quate remedy at law need be shown, .

Edgerton. Concurring was Chief
Justice Eicher of District Court, who
sat in the case on a special assign
ment. Chief Justice Groner Of the

THE SOURCES OF COURAGE
By Req. DR.. OSCAR F. BLACKWELDER,
Pastor, Lutheran Church of the Reformation.

Perhaps the outstanding need of man.
kind today, both civilian and soldier, is
courage-courage without hate "Cour-
age, my brother, is the principal thing"
writes a modern novelist. Indeed, cour-
age has been called the sustaining virtue,
even undergirding love. But courage itself
must be sustained it must be fed, it
must be nurtured. So there are those of
us who are persuaded that among the
chief services of the Christian faith to-
day is to feed courage and make possible
courage without hate.
In one of his letters to his Corinthian
friends II Corinthians, viz to xii9) St.
Paul unravels his spiritual history and
confesses the secrets of his courage.
These secrets center in this verse, MY
grace is sufficient for thee"
The word grace" sounds very strange
to those of us who are the victims as
we'll as the products of modern educa-
ton. Maybe we of today's school can get
at the idea by looking at that word
Sufficient C'My grace is sufficiently and
contrasting it with the word on which
we have gone to school, the great Amer
lean word efficient" You see the
word efficient" is the language of figures
and machines, of sKills and technical
training. Sufflciency, on the other hand
means personal power, the power to be
skillful. Sufficiency is strength with
which to use the machines, power by
which techniques may work. Efficiency
is like practicing the notes on piano;
suff1ciency is like mastering the harmony
in ones own life. Efficiency is practical
skill; suff1ciency is personal culture Eff
cheney is largely in the hands; sufficiency
Is of the heart. Grace is the New Testa-
ment word to cover the idea of enrich
ing, strengthening, enrolling enduring
power of God coming into human per-
sonallty when 1t is open-minded and
through handicaps and weaknesses. This
grace of God is the answer to our prayer
20 fill us with Thy fullness, Lord, until
our very heart oerfloWs." full life Is
an adequate life. An adequate life is
brave life
Isn't our search after the formula for
courage without hate becoming clear?

No Time for Rest

Some of the optimism that is dis
turbing Washington officials now
because they say it is slowing down
the war effort may not be due as
much to the good news of military
triumphs abroad as to a feeling that
we have reached the leveling off
place in war production and from
this time on it will be coasting down
hill. That, Of course, is not the case
Vice Chairman Charles E. Wilson
of the War Production Board recited
some of the production marvels, al
ready accomplished, in the course of
an excellent speech in Chicago Fri
day afternoon:
I do not need to tell you that the
figures of production are impressive.
Very impressive. Figures like 1000 air
planes produced in June against 5000
in January. Figures like 1,676,500 dead
weight tons of shipping produced in
June alone-46 per cent more than the
entire output for the whole year of 1941
Figures like 100 warships launched in
the first six months of this year, and
100000 tons of naval vessels produced
in June alone. Figures like 100000 large
caliber artillery produced for our ground
armies since the outbreak of the war,
and nearly 100000 machine guns and
100000 rifles and submachine guns.
Figures like % billion rounds of small
mmunition-enough to enable our
forces to shoot nearly 1900 bullets at
every soldier in the Axis armies.
But-and this is what many of us
may not understandable biggest
production job still lies ahead
Our armed forces are counting on us
to produce next winter 40 per cent more
combat munitions per month than we
are producing now. They are counting
on us to produce "a per cent more war
materiel in 1914 than that scheduled
for this year. They are counting on
next years tonnage output of planes and
plane parts to be more than twice as
large as this years output. Ahead of us
lies a test of strength and endurance
such as American industry has not yet
had to meet. But that test must be met
Some of the things holding us back
now, according to Mr.. Wilson, are
absenteeism, industrial strife, delays
by management, overconfdence and,
perhaps the most difficult of all to
combat-"the coming of hot weather
and the natural WEAKNESS which
people feel after year and half
of unremitting effort" On the bright
side is the success which Mr.. Wilson
attributes to labor management
committees, ironing out the thou
sand and one causes of friction and
unrest, burying personal antagon-
isnls in dedication to the common
good. These are the triumphs which
seldom hit the headlines.
One of the most difficult of military
maneuvers is the follow-up after an
initial objective has been reached;
the push that keeps the enemy run
ming after he has started to run. One
thing we shall have to learn here at
home is that there can be no. letting
up; it is all uphill from the time war
starts until the end, with the end not
vet in sight.

When Congress Comes Back
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
We hope that when Congress returns
in September its mood will be that of
the home town, not that of the political
dollhouse. We hope that it will be re-
solved to fight the war single-heartedly
and not to be led into forays into the
debatable ground between the legislative
and the executive. If this happy result
is to come about, the White House and
the massive array of executive agencies
must cooperate. 1t is too bad that
the executive branch, too, cannot go
back to the grass roots for few lessons
