Grandchildren cause Trouble

Chapter II probably results from
the fact that my daughter moved
to California and presented me with
grandchildren, the Oldest named
for me. Naturally I visited Calf
ornia as often as possible.
In California any observer could
see that its new, war-won popula-
ton had made it the happy hunt
ing ground for hoodlums and the
big gamblers. 1t was also obvious
that those in charge OF law en-
forcement were lax; and in report

of columns and breakfasts in l949

ment officer. Attorney General
HoWser. when a candidate for that
office in 1916 had accepted twelve
one-hundred-dollar bills in protec-
ton money passed on to him from a
well known Long Beach gambler.
Chapter II came several months
later when Fred Eowser sued. But
before he did Sc several things
happened. One was that he came
in for serious criticism by the Cal
,fornia Crime Commission whose

Judicial Criticism

Chapter I probably goes back Is
years to a book written by Bob
Allen and me called the Nine
Old Men" That book described how
whims OF fate on the Supreme Court
sometimes influenced American his
tory.
One such whim of fate delayed
the minimum wage act from be-
coming constitutional in the United
States for two decades. In 1921 the
U. S. Court of Appeals had upheld
the minimum wage act for the
District of Columbia as constitu-
tional only because Justice Charles
H. Robb had fallen from his horse
and was not sitting.
Later Justice Robb recovered, de-
manded a hearing, and thus delay
ed action on the minimum wage
act for two years-duTing which
time three liberal justices resigned
from the Supreme Court. AS a re-
suit of Justice Robbs rehearing
maneuver. therefore, the Supreme
Court held the minimum wage act
unconstitutional, and the United
States was without this important
legislation for two more decades.

arrested Cadet, and he is row in
San Quentin.
About this time Rowser got q
letter from his Washington attor-
neys suggesting that the statute
of limitations was about to run
on Pearson's broadcast and he had
better make up his mind about
suing Pearon. He replied that one
of his assistants haG got into trouble
with the gamblers and indicated
that this raised a question mark
about bringing suit. The attorneys
wrote back that this wouldn't make
any difference
So Howser sued.
Significantly the attorney who APP
parently wanted him to sue was
Roger Robb, son of the late Justice
Robb whom had criticized for
delaying minimum wage act for
the United States for two decades.

McCarthy-Lewis Axis

chapter IV--LaSt Spring Senator
Mccarthy of Wisconsin began max
ing noises about blasting this COL
umnist on the Senate floor. In fact,
he advertised his plan rather wide
~ among friendly newsmen and
colleagues. However, he never did
so. He waited.
He waited until quite recently, in
fact until just two weeks before
the Howser libel suit was originally
scheduled to go to trial Perhaps
he knew that juries, being human,
can be susceptible to the speeches
of Senators. Perhaps it was not
pure coincidence that the last Nc
earthly attack was even delivered
on the same day the Jury got the
case.
Perhaps also it was just coinci-
dence that Howser's attorneys,
Roger Robb and Herbert Bingham,
happen to he the attorneys for ra-
dio commentator Fulton Lewis, who
has been working closely with Nc
Carthy. Perhaps it was also mere
coincidence that Bingham and Robb
took the case on a contingent fee,
and that, when Howser and friends
explored dropping or compromising
the suit, it was these attorneys
who objected.
These were some of the backstage
factors the public didn't know
about in the $35O,O00 libel suit which
went to the jury this week. The
jury, as is now known, ruled that
defendant Pearson told the truth,
that defendant Pearson acted with
out malice, and even volunteered
| the information that, even if I'M
true, the defendant Pearsons
broadcast did not injure Howser's
reputation.
There was only one thing that
bothered me about the trial. Many
years ago, as Judge Alexander
| I1CIJAOl1 was dplJOllibSd W OAlC bCiAIll
I cast some doubt about his inn
partiality. And sitting in front of
this same Judge every day for a
/ week I felt kind of mean inside
Tor having said that; because the
Judge was absolutely fair and i'm
partial even TO. me who had criti-
ciZed MIN.
So now / want to eat my words
! publicly, and to say that the only
/ grippe I have with Judge Holtzoff
is that Mrs. Pearson, who sat pa
tiently in court for a week, got most
enthusiastic about him. She was
i especially indignant when the Court
of Appeals seemed to think Judge
Rbltzoff's facial expression was
too glum; and when Mrs. P. gets
indignant, I always feel sorry for
the person on the other side OF the
dispute.

New Booklet On
Cerebral Palsy
Issued By CBOE

issued by CbOE
The outlook for the Nations
$4,000 children with cerebral
palsy is brighter today than ever
before. Not long ago cerebral palsy
was looked on as hopeless. Now
help is being brought to more and
nor of these youngsters, says a
new booklet, "The Child with
Cerebral Palsy" issued today by
the Children's Bureau, and the
Office of Education, both Of the
Federal Security Agency.
A growing number Of comm
unities throughout the country
have public health clinics and
special facilities that provide the
care needed by cerebral palsy
children, says the booklet. Schools
are providing increasingly for
these children through special
services. And parents of cerebral
palsied children and children with
other Gripping conditions are
working together to get the need
ed services for their children.
erd
Prepared. especially for parents
of children with cerebral palsy,
the booklet says the disease is
caused by damage to the brain
either before birth, at birth, or
after birth, and brings about poor
coordination of the muscles Of the
face, the throat, arms, legs or
other parts Of the body.
Children with cerebral palsy,
the booklet emphasizes, are not
necessarily feeble-minded, as some
think. While some do actually have
mental deficiency due to cerebral
palsy, some Of them r very
bright. If these children are in a
good program Of care and have OPP
~portunity for suitable education,
many of them develop intellectual
ly as other children do.
Cerebral palsy is not inherited,
nor is it contagious, r other
points brought out in the booklet.
Like all children, cerebral pal
sled children with this condition
should not isolate and over-protect
! them, the booklet cautions, but en-
courage them to play with other
children, to attend school, and to
do as much for themselves as they
can.
A limited supply of "The Child
With Cerebral Palsy" is available

II boy OcOuCS OIL America, oD-
serving it's 41st anniversary dur
ing Boy Scout Week, Feb. 6 to
IL, is engaged in a nationwide
'.good turn" to meet an'emergency
need for clothing in several
countries around the globe.
Nationwide good turns of this
character have had a prominent
place in Scouting's forty-one
years history during which more
than 17,75O,OOO boys and leaders
have been identified with it.
The first National Good Turn
in 1912 promoted "a safe and sane
Fourth of July. Boy-power, train
ed and organized for service came
into full play during the first
World War. Scouts then sold near
ly $50 million dollars in Liberty
Loan Bonds, located 20,758,660
board feet of sorely needed wal
nut and a hundred carloads of
fruit pits used in gas masks. They
helped in food and fuel ~conserva-
ton drives and grew thousands of
Boy Scout War Gardens.
In response to a radio call from
President Roosevelt in 1884 for a
National Good Turn" in relief
work during the depression, Boy
Scouts in a few weeks collected
1,812,284 items of clothing, house
hold furnishings, foodstuffs and
other supplies for the needy and
distressed.
From 1941 to 1916 the Gov.
eminent made 50 requests for Boy
Scout war service including the
distribution Of Defense Bonds and
Stamp Posters, air raid posters
and other Government literature
and the collection of aluminium,
waste paper and rubber. Scouts al
so served as Government Dispatch
Bearers and helped harvest crops
in addition to raising victory
gardens.
Today's generation of 2,750,00O
Boy Scouts and leaders have bust
ly engaged since last Christmas in
a nationwide clothing collection to
continue until Easter.
Boy Scouts have responded to an
invitation from the United Nations
and the American Council of Vol
untary Agencies for Foreign Ser
vice. They have been busy collect
ing clothing that can be spared
by citizens for the needy in Aust
ria, France, Germany, Greece, Is
rael, Italy, Jordan, Korea, Leban-
