Justices Challenged Right of President,
In Peters Case, to Fire His Own Aides

causes on which removal must
be based.
The Supreme Court thus, in
effect, has reversed or placed
in doubt for future guidance
one of the most important de-
cisions it had made in previ-
Gus years, when it upheld in
the famous Myers case the
right of the President to dis
miss employees on the ground
of inefhciency or unsuitability.
The six justices went even
further. They said, in effect,
that the President and his cab
met officers may not accept
the advice or recommendations
of advisory boards set up by
the executive branch itself
without running the risk Of a
court review. This unprece-
dented usurpation of judicial
power over the inner workings
of the executive branch may
turn out to be the most star
ting deviation from customs
in the whole history of the
Supreme Court.
It is to the credit of JUS
tices Reed and Burton that
they refused to join in the
Misrepresentation of the facts
of procedure. The opinion
written by Justice Reed said
in part:
"The executive branch is
traditionally free to handle its
internal problems of admins
tration its own way -.
Nowhere in the majority
opinion does it appear that
Secretary Hobby or the de-
partment she heads, and for
whom DR.. Peters worked, ever
took any action in regard to
the review boards recommen-
dation."
Thus, Justices Reed and
Burton fatty contradicted the
other justices, who try to
make it appear that the review
board actually ordered the
dismissal Of DR.. Peters, as the
final order Of separation really
came from an executive de-
partment official.

inclined to do a little research,

Senator johnson discourages

Democrat fails to digest his

One result is a lot of learned
discourse on the triumph of
moderation in Washington. The
truth is that the Democratic
leadership in the Capitol is
running the Presidents poll
tics because the President has
so largely adopted the New

Republican right is helpless to
interfere because they need

At the same time that Sen

larglng upon the record and

and his immediate predeces-
sor, Paul Mitchell, are assailed
for talking too much.

Returning from Europe to .
National Capital largely pre-
occupied with domestic prob
lens, the saddest event that
meets the eye is the manifes-
tation this week by the Su-
preme Court of the United
States Of a political affliction
that cannot but hurt the insti-
tuition itself. For, when the
highest court in the land aban-
dons its judicial objectivity
and INDUCES in the evasions
and antiquities so character
istic of partisan politics nova
days, the court is bound to lose
the respect of many thought
ful citizens.
The average man will not
dig into the legal phrases Of
the case Of Professor Peters of
Yale and read the lengthy
opinions, as did this corre-
spondent. Most people will
read only that an alleged
Communist fired by the Gov
ernment was ruled, on the ba-
sis of a technicality, to have
been improperly dismissed. For
the court refused to decide
whether he merited dismissal.
The Supreme Court majority
also lodged the constitutional
issue which had been raised
in the trial court-namely,
whether informants in loyalty
cases inside the Government
shall be subject to cross
examination even though this
ruins the detective work of the
FBI and makes detection Of
other suspects difficult, If not
impossible.
But the six judges who ruled
that the loyalty review board
exceeded it's authority in rec
ommending the dismissal of
DR.. Peters did far more than
evade the constitutional ques-
ton. They really challenged
the right of the President of
the United States and the
executive agencies Of the Gov
ernment to dismiss anyone on
any grounds they wish to cite.
The only exceptions hitherto
recognized have been the in
stances where Congress by

THOMAS L. STOKES

Both President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles
are warning against getting
our hopes too high about the
mid-July Big Four conference
in Geneva. For this there are
good reasons that are grounded
in the psychology of the
American people and in long
range political considerations.
Though we have become a
more patient people under the
discipline of the cold war, we
have not completely lost the
illusion that there may be
somewhere. somehow, a magic
formula to bring peace into
the world. and that it might
happen quickly. This notion
has got lots of encouragement
lately in the Soviet cooling in
all directions-the final ac-
quiescence after 10 years in an
Austrian treaty; the visit to
Tito by Russia's top brass to
hang a lamp in the window for
the apostate son; the offer of
more cooperative relation
ship to satellite nations of
Eastern Europe; the accept
ance of a Big Four meeting,
itself. and now the invitation
to West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer to visit
Moscow.
Nor is there any doubt that
our own top officials feel more
heartened about the whole
world scene than in a very
long time, though keeping
their optimism under careful
restraint.
But Secretary Dulles knows
from long practical experience,
as did Secretary of State Dean
Acheson in the Truman ad-
ministration, with whom he
worked from time to time, how
frustrating and tedious the
Russians can make diplomatic
negotiations when they choose.

POINT OF VIEW

publican neglect of ranchers and
farmers is starting to take shape.
1t has been outlined i'm ssbench-
mark talk by Secretary Benson's
chief economic adviser, DIR. Don
PaarIberg.
The Paarlberg platform available to
campaigning Republicans who want to
use it-StreSSes these points:
/. That agricultural income per per-
son actually has gone up 1e per cent
in the past years due to declining
rural population and the great increase
in farm-fanily earnings on off-farm
jobs.
2. 1t is true net farm income has de-
clined about 80 per cent since 1947, but
World War II and postwar years were
the best agriculture ever had-and

part to high urban prosperity. How

ditions would have been far more

DORIS FLEESON

Labor circles here are dis
cussing Walter Reuther with
respect amounting to awe. No
one knows better how fatally
easy it is in important labor
negotiations to make a mis-
take as to substance, or at the
bar of public opinion.
In his new contract with the
Ford Motor Co., Mr.. Reuther
has won recognition of the
principle of the guaranteed
annual wage. Labor leaders in
other major industries must
necessarily follow his lead and
so another era of great eco
nomic and social change has
been peacefully set in motion.
He also got from Ford signif-
icant improvements in wages,
pensions and other conditions
of employment. The contract
is described as terrific" by
experts in the field.
What they most admire,
however, is that Mr.. Reuther
managed it all with a mini
mum of fanfare and without
ever once incurring the wrath
of the public or indeed at
tracing its interest. He chose
his target shrewdly, timed his
attack perfectly and never
really let Ford off the ground.
For a brief time it looked
as if Ford might fight back.

which is one of the good words
in the art of public relations,
as it has a soothing connota-
ton for the innocent bystand-
ers.
In a similar move showing
he knows his semantics, Mr..
Reuther months ago agreed to
the reconciliation with the
American Federation of Labor
which will have the effect of
diminishing the CIO label.
The immediate reaction here
is relief that there be no strike

politicians to choose sides. A

With the 10th anniversary of
the founding of the United
Nations about to be celebrated
in San Francisco, most of us
will pause to look back at the
record of that international
organization over the past
decade. For despite the sorry
history of previous attempts
at international cooperation,
such as the lamentable League
of Nations, mankind is ever
hopeful that some day. some
way the nations of the world
will arrive at a workable sys-
tenn for the maintenance of
peace.
Volumes could be-and will
be-written about the United
Nations, its successes and fall
ures. its stresses and strains,
it's leaders and machinery. Any
comment on the existing setup
can, of course, be qualified with
lots of ifs, ands or butts. Yet
the past 10 years have conclu-
sively demonstrated a few in
controvertible facts about the
U. N as the organization was
put to the test of events.

that, despite many minor de-
fects, the Charter of the

make that apparent concession
to world peace.
In Greece, when the Reds
threatened to take over that
war-torn nation in 1946 and
1947, the U.N. intervened and
eventually the rebellion and
subversion ceased-but not be-
cause of the U.N. Only the
detection of Tito's Yugoslavia
from the Communist front,
plus the immense military and
financial aid of the United
States, saved Greece from be-
ing wrapped in the murderous
folds of the Iron Curtain.
The U.N. appears to have
achieved a shaky sort of truce
in Palestine, but here again the
appearance is deceiving. Pales-
tine is officially peaceful to-
day because of the power
struggle of the Arab nations
themselves in the midst of the
larger conflict of the cold
war. Without that existing
situation there would be all
out war over Israel and the
U.N. would be powerless to
prevent it.
Korea, where actually only
a part of the U.N. went
to war under the U.N. banner
against Red aggression, only
proves the point. Here, in fact,
the world saw one faction of
the U.N. pitted against an
other, and the final arbiter
was national power as organ
