BY PHIL YEAGER
and JOHN STARK

In these times when the
courts Of the country are get.
ting prominently involved ir
everything from running pub.
lie schools to combating foreign
spies. citizens are asking them
selves
How do We know the courts
are right?
OF course, We don't always
That's why we have appeals
courts and supreme courts
to correct mistakes. And even
the supreme courts change
their minds every now and
then.
Mortimer Levitan, assistant
encouragement Of Wisconsin,
discusses this point in a satiri-
cal commentary appearing in
a current issue Of the ABA
Journal. Tongue slightly in
cheek. Mr.. Levitan observes:
The precious reputation OF
our courts is dependent upon
universal unquestioning faith
in the rightfulness Of judicial
determinations. People would
lose confidence in their courts
If malicious, unfounded rumors
got around that courts were
right only half Of the time. In
the depths Of their grievouS
establishment, the people
might even go so far as TO dis
pense with courts entirely and
substitute the tossed penny"
But for those who may worry
over the situation. Mr.. Levitan
explains that the important
thing is TO create an illusion
OF infallibility rather than To
be infallible.

British Banks Abolish
Poyees' Check Endorsing

LONDON, oct. 10 @.-
British banks have said good
bye TO one Of their chief head
aces-the man who forgets tc
indorse his check. A new gov
eminent order abolished the
rule that all checks must carry
the payee's Endorsement on the
back.
Bankers widely hailed 1t yes
terday as a long-overdue move
to save time and money. They
estimated thousands Of man.
hours have been spent each
year in obtaining Endorsements
and verifying the signatures.
Endorsing is still necessary
when checks are cashed across
the counter or paid into the
account Of a person not named
as payee. The only other case
where signing on the back Is
still necessary Is where they
are made out TO Joint nayees.
With these exceptions the
clerk at the counter no longer
has to glance at the back Of
a check. And the time taken
on the clearing routine can be
cut as much as Is per cent.
Bankers have been pressing
for the move for some years
They claimed Endorsements
long ago ceased to have much
value as a safeguard.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn:
What Is the ideal climate for
elderly heart patients? Mr..
J. +.
From what ] hear. there is no
year-round ideal climate any,
where in the world. Unless. OF
course. you are willing to go to
some far away place that Is
scarcely inhabited. We know
this: extremes in temperature
are bad. They put an unneces-
sary load on the circulation.
That is the reason most doc
tors advise their heart patients
to follow the birds" when the
real. nasty. cold weather breaks
out in the North. Unquestion-
ably. heart patients feel better
for having spent their winters
down South.
But there is another side.
You can overstrain your heart
and circulation by living in q
hot and humid environment,

decide correctly, although that
is usually in their credo. 1t /:
imperative. however, that
judges create the impression
that their opinions are correct
beyond any possibility Of doubt
and sacrosanct besides. Some.
times a Judge becomes so ex-
pert in concealing all doubts
about the correctness OF his
opinions that no one would sus-
pect he had any-not even his
pSychiatrist!
An opinion can withstand
any infirmity except vacillation.
An umpire who promptly. res
olutely. and incorrectly calls q
strike when the ball was wide
by a mile doesn't harm the
game Of baseball. But the ma
tional paStime could be ruined
by an umpire who massaged his
chin, then scratched his head,
and finally confessed that since
he wasn't sure whether 1t was a
ball or a strike. he might as
well call it a two-base hit"
So it goes with law. which is
an art rather than a science.
1t is bound to have imperfec-
tions. But a few bad decisions
are not likely to ruin our social
order: loss Of respect for and
obedience to these decisions
could very well do Just that.

tages is in clarifying their mind
and feelings about what they
want to do in life. Barbara has
made up her mind she wants to
be a good wife. but the fact
that she fights with her hus-
band is a likely indication that
her feelings are in rebellion.
She can't help resenting the
husband for whom she made

arship and a possibly impress

repress this resentment. she
Furnishes herself cruelty by cut

loves.
There Is no easy solution. but
Barbara should be aware that
she will get her homemaking
problems under control in time.
She should not find it necessary
to throw her many years of
work down the drain" but
should look for a way TO give
some expression to her talent
in music. II she finds It, she
may be happier with her hus-
