BELEAGUERED COURT

The Supreme Court is one of the most
profoundly respected institutions in the Uni
ted States. 1t is not immune, however, to
criticism Just now it is under attack by
men, including dozen senators and num-
Der of representatives, who think its powers
should be curbed.
In a sense, this is as it should be. The
Supreme Court is not sacrosanct. Like other
democratic institutions, it constantly changes
and develops in response to the changing will
of the people. We are fortunate, neVerthe-
less, that the court is slow to change and does
not shift ground with every popular whim.
In the present circumstances, as always, the
essential question is whether the attacks on
the court are solidly grounded ir concern for
the best interests of the nation.
The court is experiencing what Arthur
Krock of the New York Times calls "the
most determined effort since 1888 ;. to
check and reverse the trend" of its decisions
The Department of Justice and more than
40 state governments have voiced opposition
to rulings based on the "pre-emption doc
trine," which holds that federal law invali-
dates similar state laws. Southern states dis
like the high courts ruling on school segre-
CATION. Congress aud several states are pro-
voked because the court overturned a law
exempting natural gas producers from fed
eral control.
All these groups are determined to put
more restrictions on the Supreme Courts
powers. The right may be on their side. But
it is a matter to be decided only after all
points of view have had an ample chance. to
be heard

Dear Friends:
Last Monday a week ago we re-
turned Hayes wedding attire to
Wilmington. That evening we
STAYED at home on the farm and
enjoyed a visit with the Jonathan
Willis, who came to see how Dad
Dickerson was.
The next day I saw Evelyn
Short Humphreys for the first time
in four years. My sister-in-law in
vited eight of my friends in for an
evening of bridge and Evelyn was
there. Since she also is married
to an Air Force career man we
never seem to come home on leave
the same time. Evelyn expects to
leave next month for Japan so |
nearly missed seeing her again.
Wednesday my sister, Anne Min
ner, and / were among Is guests
invited TO luncheon bridge in
Harrington as the guests of Mrs.
Oscar Nemish. 1t was so nice
spending an afternoon with Mrs.
Nemish again. She was my Eng
lish teacher in the seventh and
eighth grades and that was eigh-
teen years ago.
Mrs. VIM. Sipple, Jr.. and Mrs.
James Cresson were nice enough
to include me in their invitations
for coffee at the Sipple home last
Friday morning. When | was in
vited | was told To come at ten
and stay until noon. | had no in
tention of extending my visit for
the whole two hours, but Phoebe's
home was so lovely, the hostesses
so hospitable, the food so good and
| got to visit with so many Min
ford friends, that / just couldn't
believe my watch when we left the
coffee at noon.

FOULED UP IN REGULATIONS


One Mans Opinion is a little magazine
published at more or less regular intervals.
In the latest issue, this item appeared: "Pri-
or to World War III the British regularly
exported coal enough to pay for approx
mately half of all the food they imported.
And since, with so large and so Industrial
lied a population packed into such a tight
little island, it takes a great deal of food
from the outside to provide adequate ra-
tions, these coal exports were very impor-
tant to the whole economy. Today, however,
several years after the socialist Labor Gov
ernment nationalized the mines, the British
are not even digging enough coal for their
own needs; and many important industries
In Great Britain, with official permission,
are importing this necessary fuel. There is
still plenty of coal in the ground. But the
government planners and committees that
operate the mines simply can't get it out.
They are too fouled up in their own regula-
tlons of wages, regulations of manpOwer,
regulations of investment for equipment and
modernization, and other regulations too nu-
merous and too entangled to be counted"
1t is a profitable mental exercise to con-
trast this with the coal situation in our own
country. We too have plenty of coal in the
ground. But the difference is that the Amer
lean coal industry can get it out in any con-
ceivable quantity-an is not only produc-
ing enough coal for our current needs, plus
large tonnage for export, but is aggress-
lively seeking new and expanded markets
Chalk up another victory for competitive
free enterprise.
FREEDOM is AN ABSOLUTE
Dan Thorton, former governor of Col
Orado, had some wise words to say to the
Oregon Cattemens Association. IIe urged
these producers to reject government sub
sides. And he made his big point with
simple question: "Do we wish to remain a
free enterprise nation or accept socialism,"
There is no real middle ground between
those two extremes. "A little bit of social
ism" inexorably grows, like live yeast, until
we have whole lot of socialism. Then the
individual becomes a robot, responding to
the strings pulled by the bosses-who are the
politicians and the bureaucrats.
Groups of people may turn to govern
ment to help with some temporary prob
lem But, after the problem has been solved
or has changed, government is still right
there with its controls and its regulations
and its rulebooks.
Moreover, government aid is always sub
ject to the unpredictable winds of political
expediency-as vast numbers of farmers
must have learned by now. So far, accord
ing to all the evidence, a majority of live
stock producers have been adamanty oppos-
ed to looking to government for solutions to
their problems. They deserve all credit for
that-and they will deserve still greater
credit if they steadfastly maintain that po-
sition.
Livestock prices, like all prices, rise at
one time and fall another. But freedom is
an absolute that can't be subjected to vari-
alton.
