terials on the subject Of ''com-
munism" and congressional in
vestigations. What part do
such so-called liberal" law
professors play in selecting
law clerks for Supreme Court
justices?
Maybe the Congress ought
to appropriate enough money
so that each justice Of the
Supreme Court could enjoy
the bipartisan luxury Of two
so-called liberal and two
so-called Conservative" law
clerks. Maybe the Supreme
Court opinions would be better
balanced then. At least, they
might be more accurate as to
facts. Last week. for example.
Chief Justice Warren's opin-
ion criticizing congressional
investigations said that Sin
the decade following World
War II. there appeared q new
kind of congressional inquiry
unknown in prior periods of
American history" and that
this new phase Of legislative
inquiry involved a broad
scale intrusion into the lives
and affairs Of private citizens.
Just why it was not realized

from 1898 to lo45-exactly
the same kind Of hearings for
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities as were
conducted ''in the decade fol-
lowing World War II" Is some
what puzzling. Did the law
clerks fail to read anything
about those seven years Of the
Dies committee? What the
justices evidently need to
worry about in connection with
law clerks" is not security"
but accuracy.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va.-The
words on the Governors lips
were about highways and Fed
eral aid to education, but with
their eyes they were measuring
each other for presidential size.
This is the 40th annual
drumbeating Of the men whose
influence fans out from 48
State capitals to the thousands
of county courthouses which
are the bread and butter Of
American politics. Governors
command the delegations to
the national conventions; from
or through them Presidents
are chosen.
This particular collection.
with its many new faces, is
confronted by the most fluid
national political situation in
many years. The next Demo-
cratic nominating convention
will be wide open: despite his
impressive advantages. It is
highly improbable that Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
can foreclose the Republican
choice.
So the Governors eye each
other and commit themselves
to nothing in the way Of peo-
pie or politics. They don't
quite murmur, why not me?"
but the club here with that as
its private motto is very large.
When they demur that it's
early to talk about 1860, they
are, in large part, thinking Of
themselves. Some have re-
election problems. Others can't
succeed themselves and must
find other bases Of operation.
Some are Just getting started
on State programs they hope
will attract national admira-
ton.
Self conferred Washington
can count on it that they scent
fresh political breezes blowing
and are in no mood to stand
aside for anyone.
A number Of Democrats
bluntly say the party has to
nominate a new face. Gov. Ste

state to be mentor over every
thought and behavior Of his
life. These so-called "revolu-
tions" throw mankind back
into the age Of absolute mon
archy; the citizen becomes q

Ours is the age Of the deper-
Sonalizing Of man. in which
everybody must think, feel,
and act correctly as a greater
or lesser cog-but always q

1t is not only In the totali-
tartan states that this process
can be observed. 1t is univer.

than kind. It assumes the
necessity Of q correct atti-
tude for everyone.
But there is no freedom
that does not include the free

Watkins was not found in
contempt because he refused
to testify about himself. He
freely admitted having had

he refused to name associates
from that period and thus

they may long since have
abandoned. He held that the

y. 5. Commissions Report Urging Steps
To Insure Loyalty of Aides Is Cited

Who really writes the de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court
justicesp Do they use "ghost
WRITER'S" as Presidents occa-
sionally DOB Should the public
be told what part Of q deci-
sion is actually written by a
justice and what part is the
composition of his law clerk?
Is this q part Of the fright to
know" privileges which the
press has been insisting on
lately?
These questions have arisen,
not only because Of the occa-
sional expressions and phras-
ing which appear in Supreme
Court opinions that seem con-
spicuously different from the
accustomed writings of q JUS
tice in his previous career but
because the whole subject has
just been opened up by the
Commission on Government
Security.
This c m mission Of IL
prominent citizens, appointed
by the President and by the
Senate and the House, issued
q recommendation last week
that hereafter the judicial
branch Of the Government
should stake effective steps to
insure that its employees are
loyal and otherwise suitable
from the standpoint Of ma
tional security"
Can it be that the commits
sion was thinking about Alger
Hiss. who served in the l930s
as q law clerk to q Supreme
Court justice now dead? There
were said to be discussions
about this and its implications
among the members Of the
commission before 1t reached
its conclusions. Here is what
the commission says in its
formal report:
"It is fundamental that there
should be no reasonable doubt
concerning the loyalty Of any
Federal employee in any Of the
three branches Of the Govern
ment. In the judicial branch.

and to our Federal loyalty

There appears to be no
valid reason why an employe
of the judicial branch should
not be screened. at least as to
his basic loyalty to the United
States. Certainly. the judici-
airy proper and the public gen.
orally should have the assur-
ance that the men and women
who carry the administrative
responsibilities of the courts or
assist in the preparation Of de-
cisions are loyal, dependable
Americans.
THE commission therefore
recommends, as In the case of
the legislative branch. that
the judicial branch and the
executive branch endeavor to
work out a program under
which adequate investigation
or screening can be provided
for all judicial employees"
One member of the Commits
sion on Security recorded a
vigorous dissent" on this
phase Of the problem. He is
James p. McGranery, for
merly q Federal judge and later
Attorney General in the Tru-
man administration. He writes
that mo evidence was pre-
scented at commission confer
ences tending to indicate" that
there ever was any judge on

Federal courts who was thus
imposed upon.
1t will be news to many peo-
pie that the Supreme Court
justices are dependent to
some extent on their law clerks
in writing their opinions. For

now votes for two Senator'S and
one House member.
To-day, as we all know, the

presidential electors. but for only
two Senator'S and one Represen-

ratiolof voting influence In presi-
dental elections is Is times his
influence in congressional cleo

presidential electors. Their in

BY J. A. OLEARY

The perennial move to bring
the electoral vote for President
into closer line with the popular
vote has been made again by q
bipartisan group Of four Sem
ators-two from each major
party.
1t probably has come too late
to be acted on ct this session,
but Senator Mundt, Republican
Of South Dakota, one Of the
sponsors. said today that II the
Senate battle over civil rights
keeps Congress here until August,
he hopes to get the subject
started in the Judiciary Com
mittee.
Since the 1858 session will be
part Of the same Congress, any
progress made this year will
carry over to the January ses-
sion.
Under the present setup, the
presidential candidate who gets
a bare majority Of the popular
vote In o State takes the en-
tire electoral vote Of the State.
At present, each State has
electoral votes equal to It's rep
resentation In the House and
Senate, and these numbers would
not be changed.
Change In Procedure
But q new constitutional
amendment introduced yesteray
provides that only the two elec-
tors to which each State Is en-
titled by reason Of It's equal
representation In the Senate
would be voted for on q State
wide basis. The remaining cleo
tors would be chosen, one in each
congressional district.
