vantage by telling the Supreme
Court that IN his case
"A amentai issue Is
whether the President possesses,
by virtue of his constitutional
authority to select and nominate
public officers, any inherent, i'm
piled or residuum of power to
remove without cause simply be-
casue he wants personnel of his

The tribulatlons and lmpeach-

resulted to some extent from his
dismissal of a Cabinet officer
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton
The Tenure of Office Act of 1867
was aimed directly at the Presi-
dents power to remove Subordi-
nate officers without Senate con-
sent President Johnson chal-
lenged that law from the po-
litical as well as the constitu-
tional standpoint.
According to various historians
he was "vindicated" in 1926 by
a Supreme Court opinion. The
case involved Frank Myers. a
postmaster appointed in 1917 by
President Wilson and fired by

him Ill 1920 without asking Sen
ate corsert. The court upheld the
Presidents discretionary power
to discharge a presidentially ap-
pointed officer even though ths
appointment was for a fixed
term ana the statute which
created the Office made no provi-
sion for removal Tor stated
causes.
The Myers decision was mar
rowed by the Supreme Court in
1885. That was the case Of the
late Walter E. Humphrey. To-
year-old veteran of 40 years of
Government service, who was
summary ousted by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1888 as
a Federal Power Commission
member. The high court held
that the President did not have
power to remove such an APP
pointive officer of a quasi-ju-
dicial or quasi-legislative agency
when the law set a definite term
of Office and explicitly provided
grounds such as inefficiency,
neglect of duty or malfeasance
as basis for removal.
Mr.. Wiener contends that the

cut grounds for dismissal. But

remove quasi-judicial or quasi

g. o. P. Aide
Blasts Churoe
of Democrats

Val j. Washington, director of
minoritieS, Republican National
Committee, has criticized a
statement, issued by a group of
Negro Democratic leaders last
week charging that a coalition
lof reactionary Republican and
Dixiecratic Senator'S has been
responsible for the failure of
civil rights legislation.
Mr.. Washington said yesterday
it was apparent Democratic Ne
gro leaders. most of them Office
holders, had been frightened
after reading the election returns
of November 6, which showed
that the Negro vote for Presi-
dent Eisenhower had increased
from an estimated 20 per cent
in 1852 to IA per cent in 1856.
Il am happy" said Mr.. Wash
ington, that these Democratic
leaders have decided to counsel
their own party instead of try
ing to tell us how to run ours.
Probably they should ask Demo-
cratic National Chairman Paul
NJ. Butler to put a Negro on the
new policy committee advisory
committee which he set up. He
named a 20-man committee to
run and advise the Democratic
Party without including a single
Negro"
Mr. Washington added that
these Negro Democratic leaders
realized their jobs were threat
ened if this wave Of dissatisfac-
ton" with the Democratic Party
continues among the Negroes.
Led by Representative William
M. Dawson of Illinois, Mr.. Wash
ington said, they are trying to
save face early. He pointed out
that Mr.. Dawson had seen his
State go Republican by 100000
votes. and his own vote drop
from $4,000 to 10000.
He listed long series of ad-
vanceS which, he said, the
Negroes have made during the
Eisenhower term in the White
House.

HierogIyphics' Proves
To Be Strange Work

great vitality and originality. The
manly, plaintive and moving
elegy of Stravinsky that fol-
lowed, beautifully played in null
tiple-stopping by Mr.. Trampler.
is minor Stravinsky only in its
resources. Artistically it is a
characteristic and important
work.
Henry Brant's "Hieroglyphics"
is a unique creation, for I can
describe it so that it will seem
more real to the reader than it
did last night to the audience
who heard and saw it. AS the
house lights are lowered, the cur
tain goes up to disclose four
music racks placed on the scene
to represent four stages Of the
cross. Mr.. Trampler is alone on
the dimly Lighted set, standing
rear left like a disconsolate
Orpheus. A disjointed drum beat
sounds from the cavernous re-
cesses of the Library. Mr.. Tram
pier plays a scrannel tune in har-
monies. A celesta in the stacks
repeats over and over again a
crazy phrase like the wall of a
merry-go-round with horses
gorged on locoweed. Mr.. Tram
Ter plays the viola's theme song.
Mr.. Trampler moves stage
right and reads from the second
music rack. He is no longer
Orpheus, but Tristan, violer
d'amores. He selects a new bow
and plays saltando. Lugubrious
chimes sound from the reading
room as from Hardness Pavilion
at Yale. Mr.. Trampler has been
TRANSPORTED into Childe Herold,
courtesy of Berlioz, and moves
to the third music rack, fire.
quently repeating the violas
theme song. From somewhere
in the distance a harp mocks
him. He progresses doggedly to
the fourth music rack and plays
some more phrases.
A chromatic timpani, out-of-
sight, enters expressive. like a
1887 Buick kicking over on a
cold morning. The keening of
the off-stage instruments is
noise entirely ASSOCIATED from
the soliloquies of Mr.. Trampler's
viola. 1t is literally background
music, which gradually dies
away. leaving the solo viola to
conclude with a melancholy
tune. The lights go up.
! The reader must not believe
that this is a satiric description,
for it is a reasonably accurate
picture of what happened. Mr..
Brant's piece is not so much
music in the ordinary sense as
an evocation-a humorous and
pathetic exaggeration. The artist
tries to add a second dimension
to music. and if the experiment
is not entirely successful, it Is
nevertheless appealing.
