publican, of New Hampshire. inter-
rupted Senate debate on OPA legis-
lation Yesterday to criticize Justice
Black for speech he made before
"a National Citizens Political Action
Committee meeting in New York last
April H.
Senator Bridges said that SUI
preme Court justices who want te
make political speeches" should re-
sign.
The New Hampshire Republican
also recalled the 1887 controversy
centering around Justice Black and
the Ku Klux Khan. He asserted that
Justice Black remained silent until
after his confirmation as a Justice
and some weeks later acknowledged in
"a radio speech that he had been a
Khan member Is years earlier but
had resigned.
The point is Senator Bridges
said. that when he was under
obligation to speak, when he knew
that to have made the admission
would bear markedly upon the
matter of his confirmation to the
Supreme Court, he refrained from
speaking. He allowed other
Senators in this body to make rep
reservations in his behalf which
were false and which were known to
him to be false"
Senator Bridges said the NCPAC

meeting he referred to was the
Roosevelt memorial dinner held in
the Hotel Commodore. Reading
from a copy Of the speech inserted
in the Congressional Record, Sena-
tor Bridges quoted Justice Black as
having said the Government has
become AN instrument of economic
control for the benefit of so many
people and of asserting that the
New Deal was opposed in part
by those who were seeking selflshly
to maintain unfair practices under
which they had greatly prospered
and by those who innocentlv chung
blindly to old ways merely because
they were old"
Bulwark of Rights.
Senator Bridges then asked the
Senate:
How can We expect dispassionate
administration of the law from
those who openly and actively
espouse public movements designed
to fasten upon the American people
a particular philosophy?
How can Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the United States achieve
that nice balance of judicial prin-
ciple to which litigants are entitled
if that same justice lends the pres
tige of his position and the force of
his support to a movement whose
legislative program may result in
controversies before the court OF
which he is a member"

be strengthened and be able to
carry out its particular function so
that the basic needs OF children
may be met.
Yet the court and each of the
other agencies serving children and
families can only function to the
