Positive Program Needed

The Star recently had something
to say about the advantages this years
high school graduates would obtain by
enlisting in the Army after commence
ment. They are still as great as ever
Thousands of youths who will have
completed their high school courses in
May or June and have not made def
mite arrangements for employment are
to be encouraged to enlist on the score
that the Army will not only make them
self-supporting but also pay for their
continued education after their mill
tary service.
But in the meantime Congress is
not relieved of the duty to do some
thing about the draft which will be
more constructive than the bill passed
by the House of Representatives, which
provides a nine-month extension of Sc
lective service but suspends inductions
for the first five months. The Senate
has the opportunity to correct the House
fallacy that this will clear up the un-
rest so prevalent among high school
seniors, who do not know what lies
before them.
Tens of thousands of youths have
shaped their study courses with view
of entering college next year. They
are not fitted, in most cases, to take
any position requiring special skills.
Because the nations colleges and uni
versities will have heavy veteran en-
rollments they will have no chance to
register. If they seek labor jobs, they
can't be certain they will have chance
to fit themselves for promotion, since
the House bill provides that they will
be in line for the draft after five
months. And it must be admitted that
while voluntary enlistments would Of
fer a good way out of their perplexing
situation, not all of them will enlist.
It appears that the House sees the
whole problem from a strictly political
viewpoint and ignores the viewpoint
of the boys, who, in the final analysis,
are chiefly affected by the legislation.
It is up to the Senate to kill the mega
tive elements in the House measure
and substitute positive draft pro-
gram, which the graduating boys can
depend on, and then take firm stand
for it's position when the bill goes into
conference.

Harlan Fiske Stone

Harlan Fiske Stone
Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone,
whose sudden death at 73 shocks the
nation, always had qualities of leader
ship. At Amherst, where he was a
fellow student of Calvin Coolidge, he
was for three years president of his
class, earned the Phi Beta Kappa key,
and was acclaimed by his classmates
as the one most likely to succeed. He
later was dean of the Columbia Uni
versity Law School, and when President
Coolidge entered the White House he
appointed Justice Stone as Attorney
General, with the specific charge to
reorganize the department after the
turbulent tenure of Harry M. Daugh-
erty during the Harding adninistra-
ton.
When Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes retired, President Roosevelt ap-
pointed Justice Stone as his successor,
despite they were members of oppos-
ing political parties, not only because
he had created reputation as liberal
but because of his outstanding attri-
butes of leadership. 1t was not long,
however, that in addition to his liberal
ism," he became equally famous as a
dissenter. "Holmes, Brandeis and Stone
dissent" became almost proverbial, the
trio so often disagreed with the ma
jority opinion of their associates on
the Supreme Court. Yet, in his minority
opinions there was strong sense OF
the eternal fitness of things and of
self analysis as applied to the court.
This is particularly manifest in two
of his opinions while Associate Justice.
They voiced strong opposition to the
majority opinions invalidating the
Roosevelt Agricultural Adjustment Act
and New York Law fixing minimum
wages for women.
In his AAA dissent, he asserted
that while unconstitutional exercise
of power by the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government is
subject to judicial restraint, the only
check upon our own exercise of power
is our own sense of self-restraint."
In the other, he said it was "diffi-
cult to imagine any grounds for the
majority opinion "other than our own
personal economic predictions
Like Holmes and Brandeis, he had
rare ability to reason matters through
to sound conclusion.
Who will be his successor? Justice
Jackson, chief Allied prosecutor in the
Nuremberg trials, is mentioned. JUS
tice Blacks name also appears in dis
patches. The selection rests upon
President Truman, who at present is
witnessing naval maneuvers off the
Virginia capes. The general custom is
for President to advance an Associ-
ate Justice, but he may appoint an
outsider. If Mr.. Truman follows the
customary procedure and names a mem
Der OF the present court, interest will
focus on his selection of a new AS
sociate Justice.
In view of the treatment of Secre-
tary of States Byrnes during the last
national political campaign, and in view
of the fact membership on the Supreme
bench is for life while Cabinet ap-
polntment is transitory, it is not un-
reasonable to think that the President
may restore Byrnes to the place he
vacated at President Roosevelt's re-
quest only to receive shoddy treatment
at the Presidents hands when his SER
vices were no longer needed.

Religion
Day By-Day
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
THE HEARTS INSTRUCTIVE
CRY

Whenever disaster befalls, the
hearts instructive cry is, My
God!"
Goddess men, equally with saints,
thus recognize the Deity who is the
first and final factor in life. Some
thing in the depths of human life
cries out unconscicusly to the AL
mighty In personal calamity and
in public tragedy we have all
heard voiced, My God!"
One moment thoughtless crowd
is dancing and drinking
and merry making, Suddenly fire
breaks out, and they are all pray
ing and screaming to God That IS
typical of universal experience.
We pity the persons to turn %
God only in moments of dire dis
tress. How much better the lot of
those who .instinctively commune
with HIM. as with a Father, IN
all the change:ul experiences of
life. They walk with Him and they
talk with Him, and they know Him
as the core and circumference of
their life. 4
These friends OF God do. not cry
out in panic because of the perns
that threaten our era: they confide
in Him as friend and guide and
protector.
In moments of stress all hearts
cry out to Thee, o Almighty God.
We cevet for ourselves a close and
constant communion that makes
us ever at home with our Father.
Amen.
