Some of the escapes from
Communist tyranny have been
mouldering in these camps for
years. After needing the call OF
Radio Free Europe and of other
Western broadcasts, to flee their
countries, they risk their lives to
escape, only to find that they can
not inmigrate to the United
States and are not wanted by any
one. The worst of these camps, ac-
cording to the refugees them
selves, are in Italy where they are
run by former Fascists who have
a vested interest in keeping them
going. Although these camps are
not concentration camps, they are
nevertheless surrounded by barb

Bill Asks 10 Years Experience
For Future High Court Justices

The Senate had before it to-
day unique proposal from Sem
ator Stennis, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, to require at least half
of all future appointments to the
Supreme Court to be judges with
a minimum of 10 years expert
ence in the lower courts.
A bill to establish this stand
ard was introduced late yester-
day by the Mississippi Senator as
a forerunner to the debate sched-
uled to begin later this week on
the nomination of John Marsh
all Harlan of New York to fill
the existing vacancy on the Su-
preme Court.
! Democratic Leader johnson OF
/ Texas announced the Harlan
appointment will be taken up
as soon as the tax bill is dis
posed Of.
Although Senator Stennis an
nounced he will vote against
Judge Harlan, he emphasized he
was making no attack on the in
tegrity or ability of either Judge
Harlan or the present members
of the Supreme Court.
For purposes presently under
consideration, I am expressing
an interest, not in persons, but
in the Supreme Court as an in
Stitution, the most important
branch of our constitutional
Government" said Senator
Stennis.
He said the combined judicial
experience of the present eight
members of the court prior tc
their ascendancy to the hiehes,
tribunal totals only eight years
and four months, and is confined
to Justice Minton.
The Senator said he called at
tention to that fact in a state
ment last October. The present
nominee, Mr.. Harlan, has hac

perlence, "a tenure far too short
to produce a seasoned and ma

High Court Exercise
Room Is Supported

The Supreme Court wants to
exercise something besides the
law. And the House Appropria-
tions Committee agreed to the
extent of including in the sup
Elemental appropriation bill an
item for $4,000 to install an ex-
ercise room and steam cabinet.
Chief Justice Warren is par
ticularly interested in getting
such a chamber for the court.
Justice Burton told an appropri-
ations subcommittee at recent
closed-hearing testimony made
public today. Senate and House
members have such a place, as
does the White House, but the
high court has never had a room
for physical exercise.
The court also IS so we'll salts
fed with experiments this year
in sound amplifying the court
room that it suggested an outlay
of $1,000 to make the setup
permanent. Justice Burton re-
marked at the subcommittee
hearing that "if we are to have a
hearing room it is important for
people who come there to hear
something"
Still another precedent-break-
ing move is made by committee
approval of $4,000 to provide q
tape-recording system. Justice
Burton explained that the tri-
bunal, unlike lower courts, never
has had a court stenographer OF

arguments. He said the justices
decided it might "be of advan-
tage in some of the important
arguments to have recording

ture jurist'', Senator Stennis
added.
Judge Harlan was appointed to
the Circuit Court CT Appeals for
New York and several other
States in March, 1854, but had
long prior experience as a lawyer.
Senator Stennis argued that
the Constitution defines the
powers of the President and Con-
greSS and limits the tenure of the
President and members of Con-
gress, but is silent as to limita-
tions on the Supreme Court.
Senator Stennls said it seemed
to him that during the last 25
years the judicial branch has
been the most neglected part of
the Government. Arguing that
a seasoned judge is not made
overnight, he then introduced
his bill providing that not less
than one of each two justices
appointed to the Supreme Court
must have a minimum Of 10
years on either a Federal court.
a State supreme court or a
State court of general jurisdic-
ton.
He said his proposal has
nothing to do with the present
Chief Executive or the Harlan
nomination.
The Senate yesterday con-
f1rmed without debate a number
of other appointees, including:
George w. Perkins to be
United States representative on

Rover 10 Prosecute
Esd. {. Gamblers in
Tax Stamp Violations
By Robert K. Walsh

The Supreme Court ruling
that the Federal gambling tax
is valid in the District opens the
door to early prosecution of
some IS cases here. United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
said today.
The court held in a So opin-
ion yesterday that the $50
stamp tax requirement does not
violate the Fifth Amendment
guarantee against possible self
incrimination and that it does
not amount to penalty in the
form of tax.
The decision came in a test
case brought by Frank Lewis.
80 year old District man
charged with accepting wagers
without paying the tax in 1852
In March. 1858, the Supreme
Court split. 6 to 3, in upholding
constitutionality of the Federal
gambling tax law as applied to
States. Lewis contended that a
District resident was in a diff
ferent category and in direct
danger of being made subject to
possible self-incrimination be-
cause the District already had

Nixon Says G. 0. P.
Is Not Strong Enough
To Elect a President
BY the Associoied Pres.

LOS ANGELES. Mar. IS
Vice President Nixon has bluntly
warned members of his party
that the G. o. P. won in 1852 only
because of its strong candidate,
adding: 1.-The Republican Party
today is not strong enough to
elect a President"
These outspoken views of the
political situation were given by
Mr.. Nixon when he talked to
$500 fellow Southern California
Republicans during one of three
speeches here yesterday. The
Vice President said that at the
behest of President Eisenhower
he was urging party workers Ito
do big job this year and next. !"
Mr.. Nixon called on G. o. P.
workers to build a majority
party by 1856.
Cites Presidents Views.
The Vice President gave these
views on President EisenhoWer's
political thinking:
The current situation is one
the President feels we should
remedy and that's why he's
taking hold of the Republican
leadership at this time. He be-
lieves it's his responsibility TO
build the party so its strength
will be as strong as that of the
President himself"
Mr.. Nixon did not disclose the
Presidents intentions for 1856,
but said significantly:
Il hope to work for the Presi-
dent again in 1856. The best way
to see that he runs again is to
build party power to the point
where we can become the major
ity party"
The President sent telegram
here lauding Mr.. Nixon for "his
courage and honesty" which
have earned him the respect of
all who seek a better and stronger
America"

workers under the adminiStra-
tion plan.
Some Brackets Lag
Mr.. Young said employees ir
the middle and upper brackets
have particularly Jagged behind
in having their salaries adjusted
to cost of living increases.
Thus, the differences in pay
between positions at varying
levels are now substantially less
than the differences in response
bility between jobs" Mr.. Young
said.
The csc chief also asked that
the present ceiling on the num-
ber of GS-16 to 18 super grade
Jobs be eliminated and that for
eign service and Veterans Ad-
miniStration medical employees
get pay raises ranging from $40
to $500 a year.
UNIFORMS-A House Civil
Service Subcommittee has ap-
proved legislation to extend $100
a year uniform allowance bene-
fits to Federal workers who wear
such garb but whose use of
uniforms has not been officially
authorized by regulation.
However, the subcommittee in
serted some language safeguards
in the bill to make sure abuses
don't occur. Agencies would
have to report each February to
the House and Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committees on how many
and what categories of employees
are receiving the 500 uniform
allowances.
Also. after July l, additional
groups of employees could not
be given the $100 uniform al
lowance unless Congress first
gave its approval by voting the
necessary appropriations.

Committee is expected to ap-
prove it's subcommittee meas
