ing in the Constitution or in any
statute to compel this attitude on
the part of the judges. There is
not even a fixed rule in the court
1t Is matter entirely between the
Judge and his conscience.
Belief of Some People.
Now some people are coming to
believe that a judge is taking bad
advice from his conscience when he
follows this course. II the judge has
been, in the past, the paid private
attorney In case brought up for
final decision, some merit can be
seen in his withdrawal. But if his
connection has been that of public
servant. doing his duty as such, it
is argued that a different situation
Is presented.
1t can be assumed that as Con-
gress member or Attorney General
his actions were dictated not only
by his conscience but by his obliga-
ton under the Constitution he swore
to uphold. Congress members and
Attorneys General are bound by the
Constitution just as much as judges
are. A Congress member is not sup
posed to initiate or vote for legisla-
ton If he doubts it's constitutional
ity. An Attorney General is not
supposed to f1out the Constitution.
If later, on the bench, the ques-
tion comes before any such former
legislator or administrative official,
he may be expected to think as he
did earlier and to vote that way.
But it is not necessary that he do
so. Further study might cause him
to change his mind. In that case
his conscience could tell him to ad-
NIT his error and vote his new con-
viction-but not to dodge his re-
sponsibility as judge.
Fairly recently the country was
given striking illustration of the
degree to which the judges are dis
posed to disavow their past. After
may years of effort the Government
succeeded in bringing the Aluminium
Co. of America into court on
q charge of violating the antitrust
laws. Final appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court. What hap
pened? Chief Justice Stone declared
himself disqualified. He was the
man-the public servant, sworn to
uphold the Constitution-who as
Attorney General had initiated the
first investigation of the Aluminium
Co.
Two Years Wasted.
That left eight judges, but not for
long. Justices jackson, Murphy and
Reed disqualified themselves, the
first two because they had had
something to do with the proceed
tngs as Attorney General and Reed
because the same was true of him
self as Solicitor General.
That left five Judges. Six judges
are required to make a quorum. The
Supreme Court could not hear the
case at all! Two years were wasted
in obtaining an act of Congress
under which the case could be re-
ferred to a special court, with power
to act.
So the opinion is growing in
Washington that the Supreme Court
judges should re-examine the case
OF themselves versus their con-
sciences, lest the process of disquali-
fication finally become absurd.
Wilson'S appointment brings the
subject into sharp focus As men,
Der Of Congress, as an appellate court
Judge, as director of various top war
time administrative Offices and as
Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr.. Vim

all the delegates kept their hats
on, or worn wet leaves on top OF
their heads, or even kept them COW
cred with a handkerchief knotted
at the four corners, I am sure that
no such plan would have been con-
cocted.
However, if the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians is on the level
and does seek the services of q
press agent for Mr.. Petrillo sim
cerely hope that I will be consid-
cred for the job. That would be the
dream job Of all time. It would be
the answer to the prayer Of any
man who thought that work was
the curse of the working classes and
liked to take 1t easy 241z hours out
of every "a.
All Other Jobs Tough.
It would make all other soft
jobs grueling in comparison. 1t
would make calling the stops on q
transatlantic plane, or gathering
the blooms of century plant, or
counting Democratic votes in Maine
seem downright laborious.
A press agents job, rs I under
stood it, is to keep his client before
the public, to make people con-
scious of the fact that he is abroad
and about, a man Of power and i'm
portance. Mr.. Petrillo would be q
breeze Of an account. It would be
no more trouble to keep him be-
fore the public than 1t would be to
sell the public on the fact that
Niagara Falls is wet, the Sahara
is dry and elephants are large.
Just about all Mr.. Petrillo's press
agent would have to do would be
to unlock Mr.. Petrillo's door in the
morning 50 he could get out Of the
house and get going. After that,
to Judge by his past performances,
the president of the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians would be more
than capable of keeping himself not
only before the public eye, but also
in it.
Remember this, too: the press
agent for Mr.. Petrillo would not
have to do all the work alone. He
would have stand-ins, assistants,
assistant stand-ins, and assistant
assistants, by the hundreds.
Organizing the Birds.
Suppose I got the job. and decided
to write an article for the papers
telling how Mr.. Petrillo had organ
lied the birds in Central Park and
had forbidden them to sing more
than three bars without seven
crumbs paid in advance, and had
issued an edict requiring migratory
songsters stopping overnight In the
l. park to show their cards before
using the bird baths.
| My typewriter would be pointed
out to me by typewriter pointer
outer, and would be uncovered by q
typewriter-uncoverer. There would
be stand-ins for both of these men
just in case I, as head man, didn't
like the way the pointer -outel
pointed out or the uncoverer un-
covered. I would start to write. But
not by myself. A ''The" man would
write "The," today" man would
write today" and so on. BY the
time the article was well underway
upwards Of so men would be behind
the machine, waiting for their word
to come up.
I, as head man, would have te
write only one or two words. Blu,
would be there to supervise, and
at a handsome salary.
Good job, what! Hope I get it.

Twenty eight Doris FIsesen.
States of the 48 don't say no, but
they don't say yes, either, to third
party. They have no laws what
ever regarding it. This means that
there are not only no directions on
how to begin but no assurances that
the various State governments in
volved would countenance any such
efforts.
State Power to Shuttle.
The power of the States over vot-
ing is almost iimitless except for
two things-they must let the voters
vote and they must count the ballots.
They can shufnle them as they
please. For example, Georgia uses
the county unit system. which means
that one vote in rural Rockdale Is
worth % in Fulton (Atlanta).
Several of the other 20 States that
have third party laws make it so
difficult it's impractical. Most poll
ticians of experience think 1t is i'm
practical - period - and that the
American people, short Of revolution,
cannot be weaned from the two
party system.
The Democratic National Commit
tee meanwhile Is trying to work up
q little sweeter harmony In WASH
ington through some cultivation of
grass roots. Vice Chairman Richard
Macy and Treasurer George Kilian
have taken on for Illinois and In
diana to beard the county chairmen
in their lairs and preach the CO.
operation conspicuous by its absence
here. A true note struck in the
courthouses, they figure, should echo
softly in the House especially.
Mr.. Macy may continue westward.
His and the Presidents home State
has reported trends ominous to Mr..
Truman. A reduction Of the labor
vote in the large cities due to closing
Of war industries, faltering party
machine in st. Louis and a good
Republican showing in special elec-
tions are the bad news. AS the huge
Roosevelt majorities of the 30s
had dwindled to 10000 two years ago
which was contributed by Kansas
City and st. Louis, the high COM
mand Is alarmed.
Correction.

York has telephoned this corre-
spondent that he wishes to correc'
