l73 Pagss)
Still another innovation In the
publishing world is the putting Of
musical comedies-minus the music
in book form for public con.
sumption, when they are only a
few weeks beyond opening night
on Broadway.
Wonderful Town Is based on
Ruth McKenney's series Of short
sketches for the New Yorker
magazine, which featured the ad-
ventures of one Sister Eileen.
These vignettes were almost i'm
mediately successful and since
that time q whole flock OF adap-
tors, book publishers, translators
and dramatists have been leaping
on the bandwagon of Miss Nc
Kenney's idea and riding to fur
ther monetary glory.
Two fellows called Joseph Fields
and Jerome Chodorov jumped on
the bandwagon twice. The first
time they did a play "My Sister
Eileen" which had Q successful
run on Broadway. Then they de-
cided to do a musical comedy on
the same theme, which they call
Wonderful Town" However. in
order to give the required music
to Eileen, they had TO put out their
hands TO several other lucky op-
portunists and hoist them on the
vehicle. So Leonard Bernstein
wrote the music. and Betty Cam
den and Adolph Green the lyrics.
Not that this inspiration conta-
gion from one medium to another
belongs only to this generation
For long and long, operas have
been based on plays on novels, and
today writers of RADIO and TV
shows and movies and musical
comedies are as likely to catch an
inspiration as potent as Ruth Nc
|Kenney's Sister Eileen.

officers and Ruth and Eileen. And
as long as Ruth McKenney keeps
getting dividends from her idea,

tsmpogaFY novel by Nelson
Hayes. publishsd by Doubleday
Publishing Company. New York
City. 2s7 paessl
Sometimes q reviewer selects q
book because the setting is where
the newspaper carrying the re-
view is published, or because it
deals with q scene directly or
'sentimentally associated with that
place.
This book is laid In the Bahama
Islands which are physically and
traditionally close to the heart of
Key West. The author Of the book.
unfortunately, Is no master of
English prose, but he il happily
enamoured Of the Bahamas and
the waters around the islands. In
some passages he becomes so lyri-
Ecai. the reader suspects he has
been given q remittance under the
table by some steamship company
with q run to Nassau.
To get the best reaction to Mr..
Hayes book and even that would
not be too good, it should be read
in an urban world from mid-No-
vember to March /, in a northern
or temperate cline. For the author
has made his strong appeal to the
human beings chronic desire 10
escape TO some southern isle where
the sun is warm, and where he
might fish and sail in the best
traditions of the resort and steam
ship folders. Key West already has
all the delights which the author
holds out to his purportedly sun
starved readers.
Mr.. Hayes is also well aware ol
the large percentage Of the popula'
ton who dream about some roman
tic miracle on their annual two
weeks vacation. For the heroine
New York secretary on q two
weeks vacation with her girl
friend, meets the hero selling
sponges on the Nassau dock. Oi
course he is no average sponge
huckster. He grows the things on
an island Of his own. What's more,
he has Errol Flynn's appearance
and propensities, and abducts the
heroine. This whole business, by
the way, is fumbled badly by the
author, and 1t is only when he
gets the hero and heroine on the
island, that he handles his situa-
tions and dialogue with more
grace.
Not only does this romantic
miracle happen, but a couple of
others are thrown in as well. The
secretary's boss sets the hero up
in q better paying business than
his blighted sponges, flies to the
Bahamas with his beautiful daugh-
ter, and she in turn falls in love
with the second in command on
the island.
All the threats in the novel are
nebulous. They remain removed
from the actual story and the
island where the main action takes
place-and float around Nassau
and the Bahama waters with ap-
propriate names like Bogue and
Chad.

There is no doubt that Gov.
Warren's political prominence
was a major factor in bring
ing him to the high court now.
He has had no prior judicial
experience. Had he been a
practicing lawyer in Cahfor-
MIA, he never would have been
considered. The very applause
that has come from the AFL.
the CIO and New Dealers gen.
orally concerning the appoint
ment of Gov. Warren shows
that its political and pro-
labor aspects have been given
more consideration than any
special qualifications for the
post which other jurists in
America have today, Perhaps
the appointment was expected
to be q sop to labor unions be-
cause Gov. Warren is regarded
by many employers In Cali
fornia as prolabor.
Gen. Eisenhower's attention
to the political phases of the
Warren appointment will pro-
duce an undertone Of dissat-
isfaction among the many
members of the bar who like
to think that the Supreme
Court of the United States,
before which they may argue
some day, will be composed of
the best lawyers or masters Of
jurisprudence that the coun-
try can boast. To select judges
on the basis of their ideologi-
cal predictions is to do what
most people condemned when
the late President Franklin, D.
Roosevelt said, apropos of his
court packing" plan, that he
wanted Justices whose ideas
would go along with his. Gov.
Warren may turn out to be a
better judge than some expert
enced jurist of narrow vision
might have been-but the pre-
cedent is not going to cause
cheers among members Of the
bar in America.

Gen. Eisenhower says he
chose Gov. Warren because of
his middle -the-road philos-
ophy. What has that to do
with the Interpretation Of the
statutes or the settlement of
controversies between citizens,
especially when fundamental
questions of conStitutionality
are involved? Plainly the law
is to be construed on the basis
of the facts and the precedents
and the principles of fairness.
There is no middle of the road
as between right and wrong in
determining a judicial ques-
tion. Congress may pass good
or bad laws. yet whether they
are constitutional has to be de-
cided not on the basis of any
particular philosophy OF gov
ernment but on their actual
conformity to the powers set
forth in the Constitution.
In the present Supreme
Court are six Justices who
never served before on. the
bench. Glenn r. Winters,
editor Of the Journal of the
American Judicature Society,
in a news release issued before
1t was known who would be
appointed Chief Justice, said:
To-day the total prior ju-
dicial experience of the men,
berS of the Supreme Court
consists of Mr.. Justice Blacks
18 months as q police judge
and Mr.. Justice Minton's eight
years on the Federal appellate
bench"
Mr.. Winters says it is pos
Sible to overemphasize the
need for prior judicial expert
ence, "but it seems more than
clear that 1t has actually been
badly underemphasized. There
are great and distinguished
judges today on both State
and Federal courts eminently
qualified for the judicial and
administrative responsibilities
of the Chief Justiceship."

The Attacks on Committees
Liberals and InteIIectuoIs Are Charged With Using
Some Toeties They Claim to DepIore in Others

lending his name to a public
condemnation.
Confronted with the same
type of fixation on the part of
one of his young writer's, the
editor of a prominent financial
magazine recently assigned the
young man to reading the
text of committee hearings.
The young man was astounded
by the divergence between the
facts in the record and the
current estimate of the COM
mittee's operations.
Oddly enough, the liberal"
who apparently is most con-
cerned about safeguarding
individuals from unjust ac-
cuSationS, makes no bones
about condemning a Congress-
ional Committee without ex-
arnining the evidence. The
eminent physicist. who was
welcomed to these shores from
Nazi tyranny, made no effort
to secure from the Senate In
ternal Security subcommittee
a record of it's educational
hearings before he advised a
New York teacher who had
invoked the Fifth Amendment
regarding his Communist
Party membership that teach
erS should refuse to answer all
questions of congressional
committees.
In order to protect the inno-
cent against unjust and un-
substantial charges, the Jen-
ner committee has established
the practice of holding pre-
liminary hearings in executive
session. Public hearings are
held only in cases where the
evidence taken in these pri-
vate hearings has been care
fully weighed and found to
justify a public session. De-
spite this fact, certain Glib
erals" have been quick to con-
demn executive sessions as star
chamber proceedings.
CuriouSly enough, the same
sources also condemn public
sessions as publicity seeking.
There is no doubt in my mind
that they would have been the
first to cry out if unsifted
charges had been rushed into
public view. Thus, in the eyes
of these "fairminded liberals"
congressional committees are
damned if they do and
damned if they don't.
In certain liberal" circles
the impression is sedulously
promoted that members of
congressional committees are
hungrily seeking victims to
satisfy their witch Hunting
cravings. 1t is not generally
known that Senators on the
Internal Security Subcommit-
tee have spent many hours in
personal efforts to win indi-
vidualS away from the Com
muniSt conspiracy and save
them for democracy. Nor is it
generally known that in q
number of cases where the
committee has been successful
there has been no public an
nouncement or fanfare.
1t was with some astonish-
ment, therefore, that the sub
committee recently encoun-
tered two professors of a lead
ing liberal" Midwestern uni
versity-both eminent scholars
in their own special fields
who were questioned in the
light of their frequent support
of Communist front organiza-
tionS, which was a matter of
public record. Satisfied with
their denials of actual aff1lia-

Certain liberals" and in
tellectuals have taken it upon
themselves to sit in Judgment
upon all Congressional COM
mittees investigating Commu-
mist activities. They would
have us believe that these
committees consist, for the
most part, of hysterical in
quisitors in a mad hunt for
victims, displaying scant re-
gard for the principles of
logic. decency, or the rules Of
evidence.
On the other hand, the self
constituted critics would give
the impression that they
themselves are imbued with
Olympian calm, impartial
scholarly detachment and ju-
dicial balance. In the course
of my experience over a period
of IA years in the field of
congressional inquiry, I have
found the contrary to be true.
For some reason which the
pSychiatriStS have not ex-
planned, these liberals" and
intellectuals are addicted to
the widest forms of hysteria
and disregard of the facts.
They do not hesitate to violate
every ethical standard by
which they judge others. In
their obseSSional hatred of all
such committees. they reck-
lessly ignore the fact that
their aid gives welcome protec-
tion to the agents of the in
ternational Soviet conspiracy
against the United States.
Let me give a few instances
of this type of liberalism in
action, from my own expert
ence.
A number of years ago, I
had occasion to confer with
a young editor of a liberal"
journal, who is now in the top
echelons of a leading weekly
magazine. He had been con-
sistently critical of the activi-
ties of one of these commit
tees. Believing that true liber-
alism demands that the work
of such committees be judged
from the written record, I
naively asked him how many
volumes of the hearings he had
actually read. He admitted he
had read none.
In similar vein, I am re-
minded of a professor at one
Of our leading law schools, a
prolific writer for our out
standing law journals. a man
who has trained thousands of
young lawyers in the rules of
evidence and judicial proce-
dure. After signing a number
Of Communist-Sponsored petit
tions and statements assail-
ing the work of a congress
sional investigatory committee,
this legal luminary was asked
whether he mad read the record
of the committees hearings.
He admitted that he had not,
but had accepted in good faith

Now for something impor-
tant. The American Dental
Association has stepped up its
campaign against "increas-
ingly exaggerated" claims in
toothpaste and powder ad-
vertisementS. At the associ-
atoms annual meeting in
Cleveland a panel of six dental
scientists agreed that no
therapeutic dentifrice on the
market is a definite safeguard
against tooth decay or gum
disorders. They had studied
so-called anti-enzyme pastes,
as well as those containing
ammonium compounds, chlo-
rophyll derivatives and antibi-
otics, such as penicillin.
And this just after the
makers of my favorite tooth
