indirect controls alone could do
the job. They are "only part of an
integrated program of stabiliza-
ton" which is needed, he declared.
"The factors which brought on
price control were largely psyche
logical, possibly more psychology
cal than economic" Mr.. Disable
said.
People started buying in fear
of scarcity. The Chinese inter-
vention in Korea stimulated that
anticipatory buying. We had to
start price control. It was psy-
Geological move to combat the
factors that were driving toward

Representative Celler, Democrat,
OF New York, argued for a change
in the parity provisions of the
act. These forbid decrease of
farm prices before they reach

done. AS long as representatives

McGrath Challenges
Congress Power 10
Probe u. 5. Courts
BY the Associated Press

TYLER. Tex, April 7-Attorney
General McGrath said today Con-
gress should not shake an investi-
cation stick at the Federal courts.
He took direct issue with Sen
ator Bricker, Republican of Ohio,
who recently criticized court
handling of some cases involving
alleged Communists. Senator
Bricker said Congress should
broaden its current investigations
to include some Federal judges.
In speech to the Smith
County Bar Association. Mr.. Nc
Grath indicated clearly that he
sees no need for such an inquiry
and said he does not think Con-
gress has power to make it.
Without calling the Senator by
name. Mr.. McGrath asserted:
"Only very recently, a powerful
voice has urged the congressional
investigation of judges who have
released Communists and alleged
Communists on bail pending judi
cial review of their convictions
of various offenses.
"This suggestions is to me COM
Ipletely contrary to basic concepts
of American justice. Under our
system, the questions of wher
bail should be granted and what
constitutes reasonable bail are
judicial questions. The decisions
were made after full presentation
of all relevant facts, and having
been made in accordance with
American judicial standards
should not subject the judiciary
to unseemly investigation.
"The complete independence o1
our judiciary is one of the prime
characteristics distinguishing oul
form Of Government from the
governments of less fortunate
lands"

Opening lead, seven of spades.
Maintenance Of ones own lines of
communications and the disruption
OF those belonging to the enemy Is
an essential part Of the strategy Of
card playing. An illustration of
breakup" play by declarer is pro-
vided by the current Offering.
North opened with one club and
East overcalled with one spade. It
"a TO be observed that East did not
employ the tactics Of doubling the
opening bid because he was pre-
pared for any response. While
preparation for any response will
sometimes justify a stretch Of the
requirements for a takeout double,
Q player should not permit himself
to fall so deeply in love with a
hand as to completely disregard
these specifications. Even dis
tributional double should be based
upon q high-card holding that Is
above average-that is to say, more
than 10 points.
South,s Jump to two no-trump,
despite the frailty Of his spade
stopper, is indorsed by this de-
partment In that 1t Is based on
m evenly balanced hand containing
IA points, one above the minimum
requirement.
The seven of spades was opened
and dummy played low. East in
serted the ten and South won with
the queen. Everything seemed like
smooth sailing until the clubs failed
to break. When West got in with
the jack, spade continuation
mopped up the rest Of that suit
and the contract was down one.
While there is no doubt that South
was a victim OF a very bad break
Of the cards, nevertheless we are
not inclined to shed a tear over an
incident that could have been pre-
vented by the exercise Of reasonable
precaution.
Declarer could have broken the
enemy's lines Of communication by
an astonishingly simple device;
that was to compel East to take
the first trick. It was reasonable
TO presume that East had at least a
five-card spade suit and that West,
therefore, had no more than two.
(If East had only four spades,
there was nothing to fear.) How
could declarer force East to &C.
cept the first spade trick? BY
playing the king of spades from
dummy at trick one. East would
then become obliged to take it or
permit declarer to win two tricks
In the suit.
II East elected to clear the spade
suit, West would have no more of
the suit and would have no way
Of quick contact with his partner
when he got in with the jack Of
clubs. In union there is strength.
Don't let them get together.

uation at the same time makes
recruitment difficult at time when
the Federal service is in impera-
tive need of the most competent
available personnel.
Secondly, there has been no re-
adjustment of Federal wage rates
since 1949, despite the sharp in
crease in living costs since that
time Thus, Federal salaries, which
always have Jagged behind those
in private business and industry,
now are more than ever inadequate
for maintenance of accepted Amer
lean living standards.
1.-THE Executive Council does not
at this time, make specific and
absolute recommendations with res
pect to proposed increases, in terms
of flat dollar amount or percent
age-wiSe.
ut is evident to the Executive
Council that, in all likelihood, a
national wage policy eventually will
be enacted and that proposals for
increases in Federal salaries soon
or late will be considered against
the background of that policy.
There can be no question but
that on every ground including
the prime consideration of the
public interest, upward revision of
the whole Federal salary structure
is called for imperatively.

National Federation of Federal
Employees will present all of the
facts in the responsible committees
of Congress as well as to the Ex-

acted Some parts of that structure
have since been tossed out the win
dow by the courts, but most of it
stands. 1t will perhaps require some
patching up by the coming session
but it is doubtful that there will be
any serious attempt to repeal the
basic taxes.
Some new tax bills may be in
troduced to bolster our sagging bud
get, but the limelight in this ses-
sion may be grabbed by an entirely
different kind of bill. These will
call, for want of a better name,
reorganization" bills.
In the past couple of years
there has been a growing and
healthy, tendency to scrutinize the
workings of our Territorial gov
ernment-particularly the proceed
ures of handling receipts and ex-
penditures of money and the meth
DDS of accounting for these receipts
and expenditures.
This scrutiny was prompted by a
report filed with Territorial offic-
ials by Anderson and Company, a
nation wide firm of accountants
that audited the books OF the Ter
ritory in 1949.
This report points out in consid-
cradle detail the faults of present
Territorial accounting procedures
and makes some specific recommen-
dations for changes.
Bills to carry out at least some
of the recommendations OF An
derson and Company are almost
certain to be introduced in the
House or Senate during the next 60
days and it is likely that the pre-
sent administration will oppose a
portion of those bills.
1t may be that reorganization will
generate as many thermal units at
Juneau in 1851 as taxes did back
in 1947 and 1949.
