Cases, Not Ukases
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Some years ago, when the New Deal structure was threatened in the Supreme Court and in some im- porant respects modified by court decisions all of us to have lively sense of the vast power of the judiciary For time it seemed though the Supreme Court were a final branch of the Legislature, with a veto on every major policy that Congress and the President might undertake
 Tn fact, however, courts decide eases. They do not hand down ukases They do not formulate the nations policies, except in very limited fashion by interpretation of statutes and in rare instances by the negative process of voding statutes.
 This needs to be borne in mind in appraising the significance of two recent and widely noticed court decisions one by the Supreme Court of the United States and enc by the Supreme Court of Ohio
 The Ohio decision in Evansville case, holds pottery kns to personally and not real property and therefore taxable onehaf their value instead of their full value. Although hailed at once as a sweeping and almost revolutionary decision destined to slash millions of dollars from the tax revenues o Ohio local governments, the ruling seems much more likely to produce only minor rectflcaons III the casSl ficaton of property.
 The Ohio Supreme Court did not rewwrite the law. It merely decided that some pottery kins over in zanesville are personality The probabilities are that only very few types of industrial equipment, an- alogous to kns will be changed in classification.
 Much the same may be said of the U S. Supreme Courts discussed decision recently in the matter of religious instruction in public schools. At first blush it might appear a sweeping decision, inter preting the prlnclple or SspaIaton ol CuuAoii eiN State so vigorously forbid any teaching of religion any sacred music any instruction in the Bible as literature.
 With a little examination, it becomes ap- parent that here elsewhere the court has done no more than to settle case-a case in Champaign, H., involving one particular effort to provide religious instruction in schools
 Although eight of the nine Justices constituted the majority four of them filed concurring opinion in which they warned plainly against reckless ap- plication of the ruling In other words it is not the purpose of the majority of the court to forbid re- ieious teaching public schools It is their Judgment that the particular plan ntegrating religious groups with the public schools in Illinois city is contrary to the basic principle of separation of church and State.
 With so many reservations and so many con- curing judgments which verge on dissent, the de- cision affords little guidance for Boards of Educa- ton By the same token, it imposes very little re- straint on their policies

SUES OVER DEATH
 OF HUSBAND FROM RAILWAY ACCIDENT

Mrs Gertrude o. Logan, of Skag- way, has filed suit in U. s. Dis trict Court here for $35,000 over the death of her husband, Everett D. Logan He was killed on Dec. 26, 1947, according to Mrs. Logan, through the negligence of the Pac- fife and Arctice Railway and Navi- gaticn Company, which operates the White Pass and Yukon Rail- road
 The suit claims that Logan was killed while riding in Jordan Spreader during snow-clearing op- erations on the railroad in moun- tainous terrain. Mrs. Logan says that the spreader toppled over a 400 foot cliff when it hit pile of snow covering the tracks from three to five feet high.
 The suit, placed by attorney Howard D. Stabler, claims that Lo- gan was the sole means of sup pert for Mrs. Logan and their four children.

If you failed to vote in the last city election, or have become eligible to vote since the last election don't fail to register for the coming city election Tn order that you may cast your ballot Register at the city hall
 The city election is just one week from tomorrow But special election in which voters of this area, inside and outside the city expected to give ther approval to plan to form an independent school district will be held tomorrow.
 Don't fail to vote in this election. You are eli eihle if you are 21 years fo age CT over bona fhe resident of Alaska year and resident within the proposed school district for 30 days before March 30
 The proposed school district takes in the area from Thane to Yankee Basin on this side of Gas tineau Channel All residents and qualified electors within this area are eligible to vote tomorrow lues- day See the news section for further details on polling places etc
 While there is some room for argument against te proposed school district it seems to be the only logical answer for providing all of the children within this area of a means of education and distributing the burden equally. As far the people of Juneau are concerned they will pay more taxes if the district is approved Those residing outside of the city will have vote the administration of the schools ana

BooM-BUsT INITIATION

According to the opinion express ed by many of your colleagues. a large part of this money will be voted. But even if the air pro- gram alone is voted, it will push she nations normal peacetime economy into boom-bust imitation.
 For on top of the tax reduction you are now voting. there will be more money to spend, more pro- fits by those too recently on the gravy train, less goods to buy and further skyrocketing prices.
 In short we may witness all the tragedy of Europe, where money means little more than the paper on which it is printed, and when a cup of coffee at times has cost a million marks.
 am not proposing that the United States shirk from any arms program that is necessary. No great crisis has ever found this nation lacking, and with Russia on the rampage, a big air program undoubtedly is necessary.

UNPLEASANT CONTROLS
 NECESSARY

And though I have reservations about some of the other extrava- gant demands of the military, have no reservation about the fact that if even fraction of this arms program is to be met, the nation must once more subject it. self to a rigid, unpleasant system of controls. Furthermore, we must act before our economy gets out of hand
 Without going into the why's ane Wherefores of who killed OPA, 1t remains a fact that prices have gone up ever since. But that rise is nothing compared with the sky rocketing sure to be touched off by the new arms program.
 So if We are to have controls, let's not go through the same hodgepodge we experienced during the late war, the same tumble of gerrymandered government agencies built up and torn down on trial and-error basis.
 First we had the fumbling Ma tional Defense Advisory Board until it was superseded by the hydra headed Office Of Production Management-until if in turn suc-

cumbed to the War Production Board. Then there was the Sup plies, priorities and Allocations Board; and the OPA, which start ed off with limited authority, be- cause a. shortsighted Congress withheld that authority. AS a re- suit, some prices were up almost 30 percent even before price con- trol was adopted.
 This time, however, we can't wait. We cant afford trial-and- error system.
 Last November President Truman asked Congress to give him the power to control prices. His re- quest, in view of the arm pro- gram ahead, was modest. But even this was not granted.
 Now, I can sympathize with Congressional reluctance to vote new controls, first because none oi us like them, second because Mir. Truman's appointees are not noted for efficiency in administering them.
 Nevertheless if we are to build armaments, price controls and allo- cations of scarce materials have got to come. Furthermore, if you, Senator Taft, take the leadership which the country must expect of one who seeks to be elected to the highest office in the land, you should also receive certain advis- ory compensations. Senator Van denberg, for instance, who has set such a fine example of bipartisan foreign policy, is consulted by the State Department in carrying out that policy and the appointments made under it.
 A bipartisan domestic policy in this day Of national emergency is fast becoming just as necessary as bipartisan foreign policy. The two go hand-in-hand.
 It takes a big man to admit his mistakes. And I note that you have heen big enough to reverse yourself on Federal education and are now leading the fight for the bill which four years ago you help ed defeat
 A lot of Senators are going to have to be big enough to reverse themselves on price controls and tax reduction if we are to follow the tough foreign policy the ma jority of Americans seem to favor
 And I for one suggest that, as a start toward mapping out sound domestic economy, we call in Ber- nard Baruch, Donald Nelson, Leon Henderson and the others who kept prices down and allotted war materials, and ask them to chart new course to head off the on- coming hurricane of imitation.

Rebuked for CALLING
Court Impatient
]Ex.Judqe Apologies

Former Municipal Court Judge
James A. Cobb apologized to Chief
Judge Harold M. Stephens Of the
United States Court Of Appeals yes
terday after he was rebuked for
saying the chief Judge had dis
played "impatience" with his argu-
ment that there had been racial
discrimination in a National Medi-
alton Board election.
Judge Stephens interrupted Judge
Cobb's argument on an appeal from
the Mediation Board decision to
declare sternly:
Judge Cobb, you have no right to
charge this court with impatience.
We have listened to your arguments
and we have not been impatient
until now. But now the court is
Impatient and you will either apol-
ogize to this court or be punished" {"
\ apologize to your honor" Judge
Cobb, who is colored, replied i'm
mediately. Later Judge Cobb en-
phasized he had not said the court
was impatient" but In the emo
ton Of argument had used the word
in referring to the position Judge
Stephens appeared to be taking.
Judge Cobb, with Attorney George
Z. G. Hayes, colored, represented
the United Transport Service of
America, q C1O union, in an appeal
to enjoin the National Mediation
Board from certifying the Brother
hood Of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers. Express
and Station Employees rs the collec-
tive bargaining agent for members
Of the CIO union employed by Penn
sylvania Central Airlines.
The brotherhood denied admission
to colored workers at the time 1t
was designated sole collective bar
gaining agent in o National Media
ton Board election, Judge Cobb de-
clared.
Judge Stephens said it appeared
from other court decisions that the
National Mediation Board had au-
thority to designate the union which
obtained q majority regardless Of
its membership laws on racial ques-
tons.
Whether the union bargains fairly
for all racial groups Is another ques-
ton which Is not raised in the pend
ing case, he said.
1T doesn't seem we have any color
question here, but rather one of
jurisdiction" Judge Stephens said.
