DouqIus and Judoeships

To my mind, the cynical political
formula which received Senator Douglas
Endorsement at the August 10 hearing
OF the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
represents a shocking departure from
his role OF hIgh-principled statesman.
Pointing to alleged political realities"
he said he agreed with the Truman
strategy Of parcelling up the three nli-
no1s Federal judgeShips. among "a
Roman Catholic. Protestant and
jew. in order that leach major group
should feel fully represented -
All of us. think, can take an object
lesson from conditions in the state of
Lebanon, where the quota system" of
government is in full flower. According
to the Lebanese constitution. the Presi-
dent of the republic must be Maronite
Catholic Uniate) Christian; the Pre-
mier, Sunni Moslem; the president of
the Chamber of Deputies, Shi'a Mos
lem. and the Vice Premier. Greek
Orthodox.
In addition. the grazing lands of the
country are divided among the various
religious groups, supposedly in proper
tion to their respective populations.
Last year, disputes over the applica-
tion of these principles" gave rise to
pitched battles between Lebanese Mos
lens and Christians, with resulting
deaths and injuries to scores of persons.
Rifles and machine guns were employed
by both sides. Such occurrences may
seem remote to Americans, but the
Lebanese system, submit, is only the
logical application of the kind of for
mula accepted for political reasons by
both President Truman and Senator
Douglas formula which has no place
in democracy whose people are citizens
first and Sectarian rivals second.
Senator Douglas dispute with the
President was. thought, based on the
formers conviction that the White
House should put qualifications of ju-
dicial candidates before matters of po-
litical consideration. Why doesn't the
Senator stick to his guns?
Stanley Lichtenstein.
I am working out the details Of a
beautiful plan by which, in the future,
bar associations will appoint Federal
judges and all the President has to do
is to confirm them. In shooting pool, we
call this reverse English"
The same can apply to other appoint
ments that require confirmation. For
example, the President is about to ap-
point one Jasper M. Snozzf1imper as Chief
Lawn Mower for the southeastern part
of Arkansas. This proposed appointment
has aroused the ire of United States

am somewhat surprised by the hos
tile attitude the press appears to be
taking toward the congressional in
vestigation of organized baseball. Re-
porters and sports columnists seem to
assume that the House monopoly sub
committee is out to wreck baseball.
Frankly, don't understand this ap-
proach. Baseball is in difficulty and is
confronted with serious problems. Base
ball was in dilemma even before the
subcommittee thought of the investiga-
ton. There are several treble damage

William Randolph Hearst

One Of his lawyers, testifying in stock
holders suit in 1940 said of William Randolph
Hearst: Money as such bores him. His idea OF
money is that it is something to do something
with He is a builder. He wants to build build
ings. He wants to build magazines. He wants
to develop ranches. He builds hotels in New
York. His idea is to build build, build all the
time. I have stated it repeatedly that in his
makeup there is just almost a blank space in
relation to money"
part of the genius of Mr.. Hearst dead now
at SO, may have been the number of blank
spaces" in his makeup in things other than
money-of which he never seemed in need He
lacked many of the inhibitionS, inherent or ac-
qured by experience and knowledge which are
restraining influences on most men. The lack
of them in Mr.. Hearst may have furnished a
compensatng drive, marked by complete and
egotistical confidence, which enabled him to
find singular, if materialistic, success in almost
everything he set out to do.
He was one of the giants of American journal
ism, fabulous figure of towering strength in
field he cultivated and dominated as his own.
He used that strength to build newspapers, mag
azines, syndicates, and his lawyer was right in
his measurement of Mr.. Hearst as one to whom
money meant nothing beyond the material he
needed to build them. He also used that giant
strength to tear down. when destruction became
a part of his building plans. He was not the
first journalist to reach for the masses as a
builder of circulation playing to their preu-
dices their aspirations, their curiosity and the
usual frailties of human nature. But he sur
passed all others in the methods he used, with a
ruthlessness and singleness of purpose that
few men have been able to demonstrate.
He will remain best known, in the history of
this country, as a publisher of newspapers. 1t
was there he achieved his most spectacular
triumphs His political ambitions were as
marked, at one time, though not as successful,
as those he realized in the sort of journalism
he developed. He used his own newspapers to
forward his personal whims and his selfish aims.
And most of these aims seem to have been CEN
tered in the acquisition of power In this quest
for power everything else-his newspapers, his
magazines, his forayS into politics well as his
money-were merely the means to that end.
His influence will probably outlive his men,
ory as an individual. It will continue to be felt,
not only through the instruments he created for
the exercise of that influence, but in the form
of the sort of folklore that many of his news
paper campaigns helped to establish in America:
Whether Mr.. Hearst really believed in some of
the things he taught, or whether he taught
them because he found it helped to build cir
culation, is something that those who knew him
best will have to argue
5-year-old Pennsylvania miss already
boasts a vocabulary of 5000 words. Assuming
that 1000 of these are nouns it is lot of things
to want

hurry, probably would be silly to wait for time

More Corn Per Acre on Midwest Farms Calls
For Better Soil Care Plus Plant Food Use

MORE corn per acre--rather than
1NI Just more acres in corn Is
what is needed on many Midwestern
farms this year, reports the Middle
West Soil Improvement Committee,
in a statement issued here.
With the lid off on 1851 corn acre
age allotments and prospects of q
feed squeeze" ahead, the need for
more efficient soil management
methods to build higher corn yields
per acre is more critical than ever,
says the committee.
Agronomists at Midwestern agri-
cultural colleges are advising farm
ers to make long range plans now for
high crop yields. They point out that
the present international emergency
may last long time. And whether
there is hot or cold war, we viii
steadily need more food in the years
ahead.
The secret of getting and main

says the committees statement,

ing the soil backlog of plant food
and organic matter on which crops
can draw.
THE use Of lime and a complete
fertilizer containing nitrogen, phos-
phate and potash is of top impor-
tance. Vital, too, is a rotation that
centers around deep-rooted legumes
such as alfalfa and sweet clover.

ladino clover and grass will do a
good Job. Timothy, bronze grass or
orchard grass may also be used,
but Jones points out that orchard
grass requires special management.
He cautions farmers to avoid kill
ing out pasture growth by overgraz-
ing and to provide palatable and nu-
tritious pasture by avoiding under
grazing. Jones suggests dividing
pasture areas into lots. Cattle are
allowed to Craze down growth in one
lot and then are moved to another.
Along with good legume-grass
mixtures and managed grazing,
Jones emphasizes the benefits from
adding lime and fertilizer according
to soil tests to provide a complete
