Probe Of Court
Denied in House
Study Of Rulings
By the Associated Pres.

One member Of q House sub
committee set up to study recent
Supreme Court decisions said
today it is important to empha-
size that "this is not an inves-
tigation Of the court"
Representative Rogers, Demo-
crat of Colorado, added that it
seems to him rather silly" for
anyone to suggest summoning
the justices or their law clerks
for questioning.
But another subcommittee
member, Representative Cramer.
Republican of Florida, said in a
separate interview the subcom-
mittee should "go into the JUS
LITIGATION and basis for these de-
cisionS."
Mr.. Cramer also indicated he
does not favor proposals to ques-
ton the members of the court.
The Special House Judiciary
Subcommittee probably will meet
early next week to chart its
course.
1t could confine itself to the
effects of the much debated de-
cisions on antisubversive laws,
congressional Investigations, FBI
records and prompt arraignment
of defendants. And it could rec
ommend changes in law or pro-
Icedure conforming to these de-
cisions or limiting their impact.
But the subcommittee might
also focus on the constitutional
question of the courts power to
interpret law.
Mr.. Cramer already has said
that by establishing the sub
committee, the Judiciary Com
mittee has struck a blow
against the strange new think
ing that has seriously threat
ened existing laws and the
natural provisions of the Con-
stitution maintaining balances
of power between the judi
ciary, executive and legislative
brances."
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has asked Congress for leg
islation to limit the effect of one
decision opening FBI conf1den-
tial files to some defendants. In
line with the administration
request, the Senate and House
Judiciary Committees have APP
proved bills that would open
only relevant" information to
the defense. Both measures are
awaiting floor action.
Mr.. Rogers cited these bills
as legislation drafted mot in
defiance of the court but to
guide those affected and help
them conform with the deci-
sion." He said he would expect
the subcommittee to try to work
out similar legislation in the
light of other decisions.

DIETS OF FAMILIES
IN SOUTH BETTER
IN LAST 20 YEARS
Rz me Associated pre..

The Agriculture Depart
ment says family diets in the
South have shown great inn
provement over the last 20
years.
A department survey made
in 1886 showed that about
40 per cent of Southern
diets were poor as judged by
accepted nutritional stand
ards. A 1855 survey, just
tabulated and analyzed yes
terday, indicated that only
about 20 per cent were poor.
The latest survey also
showed. the department said,
that farm diets for the coun-
try as a whole are higher in
many important nutrients
than city diets.
Dietary levels were said to
be lower in the South than
in the country as a whole.
The department said that in
this region, as in the Nation
as a whole. many families
need more milk, fruits and
vegetables.

Drew Pearson Answers
Security Doto Charge

Columnist Drew Pearson is

various other direct quotes.
