she thought plans to unite Europe
would succeed.
Charge Amplifies Reply.
"I am very optimistic about
that" she replied.
Mr.. West interrupted to assert
that President Truman several
times had said he approved Of
plans to unite Europe, but added
that it was not for an American

other. He said 1t was simply the
objective that the United States

Americans Still Know Value of Nest-Egg
Seattle Times


 A survey of family savings, recently conducted for the Federal Reserve Board shows that the good old American habit of providing for possible rainy day still prevails
 The survey found of every 10 families had liquid assets. The term liquid assets' as used in this study, included only savings and checking ac- counts in banks and savings institutions, postal de- posts and government bonds It excluded currency, stocks and corporate bonds loan values of policies and real estate equities If such values had been counted the median typical figure of $790 for family savings probably would have been notably larger.
 The survey indicated relatively small snrinkage of savings The median figure year previously was s82O.
 An interesting finding that while the number checking accounts.
 Analysis of the families which reported smaller nest eggs showed half had dipped into savings for automobiles other durable goods, nearly third ings accounts also reduced the result of ill., nesses or other emergencies to enable owners to purchase consumer goods in instances where family income failed to match up to current demands. Most families responding to this question gave multiple reasons for the dwindling of savings as well they might.
 In the aggregate however the survey shows the typical family making good use of it's money, with no idea of abandoning the nest egg philosophy.

CHIEF JUSTICES NEW RULE

Fred VlnSOn, great human be- ing, hasn't surprised those who
 know him well by his drift to the
 right. The Chief Justices back
 ground and social surroundings al-
 ways have been a little right-of- center. Under Roosevelt he was a faithful follower of the New Deal left-of- philosophy, but now he is travelling on his own. What has surprised some of his Supreme Court colleagues, however, has been Vinson's formality. Chief Justice Stone ruled the Supreme
 Court with an easygoing informality under which the most insignificant law clerk could drop in to see him at any time.
 But under Fred Vinson, Associate Justices have found not only that they have to make appointments ! in advance, but are asked to tell Vinsons secretary what they want
 to see the Chief Justice about. AS result, certain Justices do not call on Vinson any more.

 ENJOYS JUNEAU VISIT

 He came in last week from the Westward, and expects to go to Wrangell next week, with great plans for building a boat. Gle likes that part of the country, for its bull pine and yellow cedar) He plans to settle somewhere in the Hyder- Hydaburg area.
 Knight, most recently at Whit tier and the north country has shipped offshore for most of the time since the war, making two trips to Japan, and also going to South America. He is a diesel en- gineer.
 The oldtimer loves to recall the early days, such as those of the Abbie M. Deering, "one of the fast est sailing schooners" of which Kipling wrote; of his work for grim weeks helping to clear hill streets after the disastrous slide in Novem- Der, 1886, at the Al mine. And even of his teen years,. when he went back to Seattle to attend the Denny school. He recently had a great old time at the annual re- union celebration.

 Frankfurter fancies himself quite political trader, and used to con- centrate on winning over Stanley Reed, sometimes called the swing man" of the court. One morning, as law clerk and justices went down to work, Frankfurter, his office door wide. open, could be heard pleading on the phone.

 The so-called s. o.

After and exhaustive search, one of Reeds pet legal theories was dug up and woven in- to the AP opinion. Reading it, Justice Reed beamed: If this stays in," he said, "Ill go along with you"

DOUGLAS vs. FRANKFURTER

There was a time when Bill Douglas seriously considered resign ing from the Supreme Court. Still a young man, the confining drud- gery of the court bored him.
 With the death of Murphy and Rutledge, however, he will probab- ly not resign-first because he will not desert his old friend Hugo Black, and second because he will not desert the liberal cause.
 Also Douglas gets a kick out of batting his opposite number, Felix Frankfurter. The only member of the Supreme Court who success fully and consistently gets under Frankfurter's skin, Douglas almost makes him frantic.
 A Scotsman of few words, Doug las will sit listening attentively to a long and involved legal exposi- ton by the ex-Harvard professor Then suddenly, just as Frankfurter reaches his climax, Douglas will intervene with: Now you don't really mean so-and-so, do you, Fe- lix?"
 Those who sit in on Supreme Court conferences say Frankfurtei is much more likely to resign than any other member of the court, the chief reasons being the needing of Bill Douglas and the lack Of young peoples company in Washington At Harvard, Frankfuter was con-

MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROADERS

Group No. 3-The. middle of the readers are led by Chief Justice Fred Vinson, who for the first time, since the death of Murphy and Rutledge, will now control the majority of the court.
 With the Chief Justice will line up popular Stanley Reed, also from Kentucky. A trifle lazy, easy to sway and worried about Increased government controls and so-called '.statism," Reed has been gradually veering away from the liberals.
 Also voting with the Chief Jus tice most of the time will be hard working ex-Attorney General Tom Clark, who partly owes his Supreme Court appointment to his old friend Vinson For it was Vinson who tipped the balance in favor of Clark when the Presidents mind was undecided Clark will be more liberal than Vinson in, many cases, but most of the time he will stay with his old friend.
 Though Republican, Justice Harold Burton also lines up rather consistently with the Chief Justice. Burton feels great loyalty to President Truman, who appointed him, and with whom he once serv- ed in. the Senate. Furthermore Burton, a plodding lawyer who has to struggle to turn out even three or four opinions year, is forced by necessity to hang on somebody's coattails. And the Chief Justices tails are both the most respect able and the most convenient.
