dated by couple of years the term Just
concluded the acrid tone of the ex-
changes on the bench in some instances
attracted wide attention, since they in
volved Roosevelt appointees and DEM
onstrated very clearly that there was no
more meeting of minds than in the
days when a Republican ma jority was
Sniping away at New Deal legislation.
There is, however, this difference in the
two periods. A decade ago the clashes
developed over legislation aimed at
sweeping changes in the American econ
omy. This time, litigation of little gen.
eral Importance has been responsible for
the sharpest barbs.
Early in the term reports were current
that differences within the court were
causing concern to Chief Justice Stone,
who carries the responsibility for the ef-
f1cient functioning of the tribunal, and
the situation was accented midway in
the session when Justice Black-joined
by Justice Murphy-skipped the judicial
amenities to express the opinion that
Justice Frankfurter was injecting his
personal views on morals and ethics in
a case. In later weeks the tone of the
disSents has modified, but there has been
no fallingoff in dissents.
This situation has raised a natural
question as to whether the courts work
has suffered. Comparative figures
show that the number of cases finally
disposed of this year fell 20 to Is per
cent under last years level, which indi-
Gates a sloW-dow At the same time 1t
must be remembered that individual
cases are of varying degrees OF COM
plexity and some, Of course, require far

pinner, but one of the greatest
bowling achievements Of all time
belongs to Lorraine GULL of WASH
ington. who after 10 years of relent-
less effort again boasts the women,s
No. ! national rating, succeeding
Lucy Rose of Rosslyn, according to
rankings released today by the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress.
1t is the seventh time the in
domitable Lorraine has won the
women's top ranking, tying the rec
ord Of Ida Simmons of Norfolk.
Tie for Longest Reign.
Queen Of the duckpin lanes from
1928 through 1894, Miss GULL spent
the intervening decade watching the
great Norfolk roller tie her record
of six consecutive years of rule,
from 1885 to 1910. In 1941 Kath-
crime Wick of Norfolk snatched the
crown from Miss Simmons, but Ida
regained it in 1912. Last year Mrs.
Rose forged to the top.
A truly great competitor. Miss
GULL never has been worse than
fourth during the 16 years of
national rankings. The Hi-Skor
team captain has been second
four times, third three times and
fourth twice. Regaining her ma
tional title is one of sports history's
feats, for few champions have re-
turned after SO long a span.
