 This is the background of the squabble. The legal issue involves a constitutional amendment which stipulated that the legislature should set the limit of tenure for judges This has not been dine and the Republicans assert that a two-year limit in an old constitutional amendment still holds good. The Demo- crats deny this and claim that their judges are en-
 titled to hold court until the legislature sets specific date
 The situation is reversal of what occurred two years ago. when Republicans incumbent judges and the Democrats sought to oust them The Supreme Court, at that time, ruled that the Democrats were the legal judges and the Republicans stepped down.

down to earth and bounces along the ground in an eerie fashion, bound to excite curiosity. Across it's side, in large red letters is written "Svoboda," which means, freedom. Incidentally, svoboda is the name of Harold Stassen's s grandfather and it is especially | appropriate, as an American of
 part Czech descent, that he is at tending this launching.
 Nobody should get the idea that this friendship balloon barrage Jo the people of Czechoslovakia is go- ing to free that country over night. It isn't, though it is espe- cially timely coming as it does when the Czechs have imprisoned American newsman William Oatis on trumped up charges. It also comes at a time when unrest in Czechoslovakia has reached great CT intensity than ever before.
 However, this balloon barrage is merely a test--a test of what ln- dividual Americans working sep arately from their government can do to promote people to-people friendship and to make the Iron Curtain a lace curtain.
 Propaganda Stimulates Doubt
 It's aim also is to raise doubts in satellite minds as to the why of the Iron Curtain Why does their government refuse them con- tact with the free peoples of the West? What has Stalin got to fear from contact between them and the free peoples of the world? What is he ashamed of? In brief, why the Iron Curtain?
 Moscow, of course, will prob ably scream that this is viola tion of international law or that we are dropping poisonous candy to the children of Czechoslovakia or disseminating antraX, wheat rust, potato bugs or other germs in meteorological warfare. How ever, there's no international law forbidding one country to launch balloons in another country. If the winds carry them into certain other countries, that's a law of nature-not international law. And the more Moscow and Czech ra- dios give alibis to their people the more it is evident that the barrage of friendship balloons is hitting them where it hurts.

Canadian Officials Explain Suspension .0S Winter Boats

Two officials of the Canadian Pacific Railroad met here with Ralph Browne, assistant manager of the Alaska Development Board, and B. Frank Heintzleman of the Forest Service here, to explain the winter suspension of the Can- adian Pacific passenger boat ser vice to Alaska.
 Jack Alderson, district passen- ger agent, and w. P. Duggan, dis trict freight agent, both from Vancouver, B. c. said that the suspension of the Alaska passen- gep service between Nov. 10 and March 10, was strictly a matter Of eestS.
 "A merchant who stocked his shelves with articles that his customers didn't buy. would be foolish," Alderson said. He poin- ted out that more and more per sons were travelling by air and 
 his company couldn't meet the competition with lower fares.
 "A bright note in the situation is that this year is the best tour ist season we have ever had. The boats are completely booked thru Sept. A." he said.
 Two freighters month will operate to Skagway, Duggan sta- ted.
 The two men are making a trip of the Yukon Territory and will return to Vancouver direct with out a stopover in Juneau.

Goofy Idea
Cincinnati Enquirer


 At least one of the nanities of the defense mobilization program now has been corrected New cars now are being sold again with the customary spare tire
 Last spring it occurred to someone in the Ma tional Production Authority that a 20 per cent saving of rubber could be achieved if car manu- facturers were ordered to deliver new automobiles with only four tires. As pointed out at the time, the saving was purely illusory. Few, if any car plr- chasers were willing to take vehicle with four new tires out on the road, knowing that they would have no means of changing tire-and might have to ruin 8 new one-in the event of puncture or blowout.
 Hence at best, the ban on spare tires turned into racket In cases where new cars already had been equipped with spare tires, the dealers were forbidden to make delivery of the fifth tire and usually credited the purchaser for the tire at the wholesale rate. Naturally, though when the new car owner proceeded to buy a spare at an individual transaction-either at the dealers at tire store he paid the full list price.
 The edict didn't make sense from the start-and we compliment the Federal authorities for having realized it after only five months trial.

lion pieces of literature across the Iron Curtain into Czechoslo- vakia that Andrews collected just about every tank in West Germ any.
 You can imagine the curiosity of the local tank distributors won dering why one man was going around picking up this colossal number of hydrogen containers. They popped the question to An- drews every time he brought in a new load, and he deserves dip loma in career diplomacy for ex- pertly ducking these questions.
 Project Arouses Curiosity
 It was a little harder for him to duck the questions from the forty men recruited to fill the balloons
 They were to be taken near the Czech border every night, five hour drive from Munich, begin launching balloons at about mid" night, finish work at four am, then get home at nine. Naturally they wanted to know where they were going and what they were going to do.
 However, after getting them a nice new bus in which to ride to the Czech border every day, they finally signed up for this myster- ious assignment
 Another problem involved in sending balloons into Czechoslo- vakia is that it is such a narrow country you can easily overshoot the mark. In other words, if the balloons drift too far, they land in Poland where Poles can't read the Czech leaflets. Therefore it has been necessary to balance a payload of pamphlets against the wind currents in order to get the balloons to travel the right dis tance. It has also been necessary to shift the launching site every night, depending on the winds. For this reason, we never know until our meteorologist gives the word around noon each day which way to head our truck caravan. The caravan totals nine trucks two of them .tWenty-toners carry ing hydrogen cylinders, balloons, two million leaflets, and one mo- tor generator which lights up the countryside sufficiently to arouse every farmer in the neighborhood but not sufficiently to give as much light as needed for the del- icate operation of tying the noz- zles of two thousand balloons and doing it in record time.
 The reason for night launch ings is that the balloons are sched- uled for arrival at six to eight | am, just as the Czech people are going to work. Two types of ball. l cons are being used. One regular 1 rubber balloon, manufactured by 1 Dewey and Amy, carrying a load i of about three and half pounds. | or 2,200 leaflets.

 The other is pillow-type balloon | made by General Mills, which al- so contributed generously of its experts and time to help this op- eration. The pillow balloon, while carrying a lighter load, comes
