~~~0~ last Thursday evening at Terry Jackson's home with Maybelle Lennert assisting as hostess.
 The doll arrived for our raffle project later in the year. Golden hair, blue eyes, moving head, walking legs describes this doll, and with complete wardrobe of handsewn clothes, she'll make a most desirable little doll for some lucky individual.
 We were pleased to have Mar garet Mcdonald, public health nurse, in our midst. We learned that Betty Adams, former mem Der of our chapter, is now vice president of chapter in Palmer, Alaska. Omie Mccarthy passed some photos of Louise Hay and family and read excerpts from her letter. Louise is an original chapter member now in Honolulu.
 After a brief recess, we were lead by Terry in our cultural pro- gram. In answer to the question, ''What do you ask of Life?" most everyone responded with the an- swer-'Health." Some held that you cannot ask of Life: you are given life and what you do with it depends on you. Some self estimate charts were discussed that covered things we worry about, things necessary for per sonal happiness, emotional cycles.
 Terry surprised us by showing us how creative we can all be on ten minutes notice. Each girl drew a slip of paper, telling her to do something such as sing, dance, sketch a picture, recite a poem, enact the title of a book, make hat, etc. Then Maybelle Lenert and Terry Jackson assisted in serving sandwiches and jello salad with garnishes to the girls.
 On Saturday night most every one appeared in informal attire jeans and shirts and skirts and blouses predominating. No one of the crowd of over 40 was bashful about trying the reels, Schottisch- es, John Paul Jones. We were most fortunate in having live en- tertainment in addition to phono- graph records. LeRoy Reader and his accordian entertained with many fine folk dance numbers. A candle race was held with a tie between men and women. With all the interference we women had, it's amazing that the men didn't win. Then each girl parted with one of her shoes which were heaped in the middle of the flood. The men made mad dash to grab a shoe, find the missing woman it belonged to and dance with her.
 At 11:00 pm. the baskets and boxes were rallied. There was a boat-shaped lunch box, flower-la- den boxes, studded boxes and many others all capably rallied by Ernie Gustafson, Bob Renshaw and Walt Sipprell. Chicken, potato salad, coffee and doughnuts made a most delicious midnight snack for all. Three cheers and thanks go to Shirley Goedde and her committee for planning the party to be such a gay affair.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 26.-Dr.
Mabel Newcomer of Vassar Col
lege last night became the first
social scientist to win the So, 500
achievement award of the Ameri-
can Association of University
Women (AAUW1.
The award was presented to
the professor Of economics at
the national convention of the
AAUW for her investigations in
the field Of local finance and her
studies of the chief executives
Of large corporations - their
training, experience and family
background.
The award for distinguished
scholars was instituted IL years
ago.
On Faculty 36 Years.
DR.. Newcomer, who has been
a member Of the Vassar faculty
for SO years and has served on
numerous Government commits
sions, said in an address on
Citizens and Scholars: I'm the
list of self-confessed Communists
in recent years, the number who
specialized in social sciences dur
ing their college course is con-
spicuously small"
In a vigorous. defense of the
duty Of the teacher and scholar
to explore, DR.. Newcomer warned
against rejection of new facts
because they do not fit into the
accepted scheme of things.
"Galileo was subjected to the
Inquisition because he stated
that the earth revolved around
the sum-" she continued. "And
today the scholar who dares to
criticize the established order is
regarded as a potential Com
muniSt and Is likely to be sum-
moned before q congressional
committee"
She went on to say that schol-
ars and teachers are subjected
today to pressureS through "a
kind Of surveillance-even perse-
cution-that has not been par
alleled since the days of witch
craft and the Inquisition."

that the teacher viii not lose his
job because others disagree with
his beliefs and teaching. It does
not protect the incompetent, the
dishonest, or the disloyal. On
the contrary. any scholar who
makes a practice of expressing
unsupported opinions in and

affairs expert. When the Federal
Government was set up in 1889,
Washington offered Jay any post
he desired. Jay took the chief
justiceShip and held it until 1875.
OF Jay, Daniel Webster said, when
the spotless ermine of the judicial
robe fell on John Jay, it touched
nothing less spotless than ITSELF"
Marshall, the fourth incumbent
held the post longer than any other
Chief Justice. Appointed by John
Adams in 1901, he survived until
1835-almost to the end of Andrew
Jackson's administration. Marshall
looms so large on the judicial scene
because the high court was in the
process of building Americas legal
foundations during the years when
he presided.
Washington not only was the first
President to appoint a Chief JUS
tice, but also the only President to
appoint more than one and the
only President to have a Chief
Justices nomination rejected by
the Senate.
After Jay retired from the bench.
Washington appointed John Rut-
ledge of South Carolina Chief JUS
tice on July /, 1895. The victim
of current political squabble, Rut-
ledge was refused Senate conflrma-
ton on December Is of that year
Although he is counted among the
13 Chief Justices, he in reality
held only what amounted to
recess appointment.
Washington third appointee
was Oliver Ellsworth, who filled the
gap between Rutledge and Marshall.
Another noted Chief Justice was
Roger B. Taney of Maryland, who
followed John Marshall and was
runnerup (2S years. in length of
service. Taney's best known case
was the Dred Scott decision of 1857.
which held that since Negro slave
was not a citizen he had no stand
ing in the courts.
Lincoln's appointee. Salmon P
Chase, has the distinction of being
the only Chief Justice whose face
decorates a piece of money. Few
people have seen his image, since
this Civil War Secretary of Treasury
is enshrined on the $4,000 bill.
After Chase's 10-year stretch on
the court. Grant appointed Morri-
son r. Waite. an Ohio politician and
lawyer. The nomination came in
for good deal of condemnation

ton. But in the long run, Waite's

fornia, 1948 Republican vice presi-
Dental candidate and an aspirant
for the presidential nomination in
1948 and 1852.
Others considered "in the run
ming" are:
Arthur T. Vanderbilt, IS, Chief
Justice of the New Jersey Supreme
Court and leading figure in the
American Bar Association.
John J. Parker, 81. chief judge of
the 4th Judicial District, the Court
of Appeals for Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and the Carolinas.
Orie L. Phillips, 81, chief judge of
the 10th Circuit, Judge Parker's op-
posite number in the Rocky Noun
tain area.
Less prominently mentioned are
two of the associate justices of the
Supreme Court. Republican Harold
H. Burton and Democrat Robert H.
Jackson. 1t would be the exception
rather than the rule for such a pro-
motion to take place.
Few Were Promoted
Of the 13 men who have been
Chief Justice only three previously
had held associate justiceships, and
only two were elevated directly from
the subordinate places to the top
spots. These two, coincidentally,
were the only Chief Justices named
by Presidents of opposing political
faiths.
The first associate justice raised
to the No. l post was Edward D.
White. a Democratic former Sena-
tor appointed to the Supreme Court
in 1894 by the Democrat, Grover
Cleveland, and raised to the chief
justiceship in 1910 by the Republi-
can. William Howard Taft.
The other associate justice i'm
mediately elevated was Harlan Fiske
Stone, Republican Attorney General
under Calvin Coolidge, who was ap-
pointed Chief Justice by the Demo-
crat. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1941.
The third man to hold both an
associate justiceship and the top
job was Charles Evans Hughes, a
Republican, first named to the high
bench by Taft in 1910 and then
tafter IA years absence from the
Supreme Court Chief Justice by
Herbert Hoover in 1880.
In judging the qualifications OF
Cows. Dewey and Warren and Sec
retary Dulles as possibilities for the
Chief Justices post, it is illuni-
mating to look at the career OF
Hughes. Like Dewey and Warren

on January 81, contained many
lapses and frequent examples of
poor English. He started one SEN
tence thus: "Not only shall we
never not invoke war :" The
Star commented editorially that it
sounded like a speech that had
been dictated but not read over be-
fore delivery.
The mid-April broadcast just be-
fore his trip to the Near East was
another example of ill-considered
comment. The Arab nations were
quick to point out, Of course, that
they wanted only what the 13
American colonies once fought for:
Independence.
Besides the opennesS, simplicity
and Righteousness, sometimes dilut-
ed with little human failing, there
have been two other factors which
influence Mr.. Dulles. One is domestic
politics. The other is his well-known
passion to get things done-big
things-which has on occasion
goaded him to action before he has
set up proper liaison with his staff,
his administration or Americas
allies.
Political Problem
Mr.. Dulles is trying hard to give
his foreign policy Republican per-
Sonality. That is difficult because
the policy is essentially an extension
of more or less inevitable postwar
policies which happened to be de-
veloped under Democratic admins
tration.
In striving for contrast with his
predecessors, Mr.. Dulles tends to
overemphasiZe the small changes he
makes. The result is often confusion
at home and abroad. Some of the
Republicans to Mr.. Dulles right are
induced to expect too much. And
the world at large frequently can't
distinguish between statements
made for political effect at home
and comments intended primarily
for foreign consumption.
Possibly the best example of the
Dulles technique of sailing foreign
policy with political buncombe was
the case of the secret agreement"
resolution. The Republican Party's
foreign policy plank, written by Mr..
Dulles, said:
They (the Democrats) abandoned
friendly nations >such as Latvia,
Lithuania, Estonia. Poland and
Czechoslovakia to fend for them
selves against Communist aggres-
sion which soon swallowed them.
They required the Nationalist Gov
ernment of China to surrender
Manchuria, with it's strategic ports
and railroads. to the control of Com
muniSt Russia. They substituted

IA years on the bench balanced out
on the credit side of the ledger.
Third man in length of service
after Marshall and Taney was
Cleveland's appointee. Melville w.
Fuller, who served 81 years, from
late in 1888 to early in 1910. Like
Waite, Fuller was a lawyer and
politician, but unlike his predeceS-
sor, he was a Democrat.
A Spite Appointment
Fuller's successor, Edward D. White,
was put on the bench originally as
an associate justice as much for
spite as for any other reason. PreSi-
dent Cleveland currently was feud-
ing with Senator David B. Hill of
New York. The President named
first one New Yorker and then
another to fill a vacancy on the
bench. Hill knocked down both
nominations under senatorial cour-
teSy as being personally obnoX-
ious" to him. When it became evi-
dent that Hill would kill the nomi-
nation of any New Yorker Cleveland
named, the President sent along the
appointment of White. Again sena-
torial courtesy prevailed-but this
time White was approved because
ID he was not from New York and
90 he was Senator and, by GUS
tom, Hill couldn't object. White
became Chief Justice under Taft in
1910, as mentioned above.
Taft himself was the only former
President to attain the supreme
bench. His appointment in 1921,
by Warren G. Harding, was in sharp
contrast to some of the Sleszy
nominations made in that era of the
"Ohio gang" BY the time he died
in 1880, Taft was something of
patriarch.
Hoover's appointee, Hughes, was
among the five longest-lived Chief
Justices. He served IL years, from
1880 to 1941.
Stones appointment by F. D. r.
to succeed Hughes contrasted Curl
ously with earlier efforts by Mr..
Roosevelt to pack" the Supreme
Court. Eventually. the four term
President got the Democratic ma
jority he had wanted in early New
Deal days, but by the time he got
around to naming a Chief Justice,
he selected Republican instead of
a Democrat. Mr.. Stone inaugurated
F. D. r. for his fourth term and
swore in Harry Truman when he
succeeded Roosevelt in 1945. 1t was
on Stones death, in 1916, that Mr..
Truman appointed the late Chief
Justice Vinson.

he was a Governor Qike Dewey,
Hughes was from New York;, and
like Dulles he had been Secretary of
State. Again, like Dewey; he had
been a presidential candidate-but
one who had come much closer to
success than Dewey. He also was
an experienced lawyer, like all OF
the men currently mentioned.
Wide Age Spread
Hughes was older than any OF
those currently mentioned-68 when
he took office. This made him the
second oldest, after Stone, of the
13 Chief Justices None of the
present candidates" would break
precedent as far as age is concerned.
Two of the early Chief Justices,
Jay (44) and Ellsworth (50) were
younger even than Dewey when
they took Office.
The question of who was the
most eminent American ever to hold
the Office could be argued forever.
But it is likely that discussions
eventually would narrow down to a
choice between the first and fourth
Chief Justices-John Jay and John
Marshall. Marshall's record as Chief
Justice probably was the most i'm
preSsive in history.

Elections
Koreu Foremost Issue,
Congressman Agree
BY Richord Fryklund

When Harry Truman and Adlai
Stevenson open the Democratic
harmony meeting in Chicago to-
morrow, the 1854 congressional elec-
ton season will have opened officially.
The convention will define some of
the issues for the coming campaigns
and will lay some of the. ground
work for next years attacks on the
Republicans. And meanwhile the
Republicans are scratching dill
gently among the grassroots for de-
fensive ammunition.
What will be the issues for '54?
What will the politicians talk about
when they hail the future or score
the past?
To find out what the candidates
themselves believe will be the major
issues, Congressional Quarterly
polled all Representatives and Sena-
tors. Returns came in from 223
Congressman, representing all States
and evenly divided between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.
No. Is Koreo
The Congressman agreed over
whelmingly that the foremost issue
would be Korea.
Wrapped up in that issue would
be pride OF alarm over the truce
settlement Capitol Hill Repubh-
cans already have announced, with
fine disregard for logic, that the
truce was the biggest accomplish
ment of the past session of Con-
gress).
Also important will be the out
come OF the poSt-Korea political
talks-lf they are held. Candidates
will derive campaign material from
the success or failure of the admin
1stration's efforts to straighten out
the Far East mess without making
concessions to the Communists.
Guesses as to the second biggest
issue vary according to the party of
the Congressman. Republicans say it
will be economy. The G.. o. P. cut
a surprisingly large amount from
the last Truman budget, and will
not fail to take full credit. The
Democrats. however. plan to criti-
cize sharp cuts in the defense budget.
No. z Moy Be Toxes
Democratic Congressman say the
No. issue next year will be taxes.
There they hope to have the G.. o. P.
over the barrel. If taxes are not
cut, the Democrats can hoot at 1852
Republican campaign promises. If
new taxes, particularly a national
sales tax, are necessary. the Demo-
Gratis will have field day.
But If the Republicans can ease
the tax burden, they will have all
the advantage. The G. O. P. is
optimistic enough over taxes to
rate thai as the third most import
ant issue, along with budget bal
ancing.
Democrats, for their choice Of
