knighted by the British. and not
because his team won seven Of
eight games. The late Dan Nc
Gugin coached Vandy's teams 40
years. with time out in 1918 for
Army service. The respect that
Guepe commands with a four
year record of II victories
against % defeats indicates that
he'll be at Vanderbilt long

accent.

Despite his victory. Atkins was
unhappy.
HE never really fought" the
st. Louis battler said. HE kept
crowding me. forcing me to fight
his kind of fight and could
not resort to my style. could not
get a chance to set up a knock

Byars was disappointed and
thought he'd won. He said Atkins
didn't hurt him, not even when
the winner opened a cut over
his eye in the fifth round. Byars
said it wasn't a blow-"It might
have been a head butt"-that
opened the cut which bothered
him considerably in the fight;

The victory was Atkins sixth

Summertime Justice

With the lapse between filing and
trial of civil cases averaging nearly two
years, Chief Judge Laws of the District
Court has arranged for the court to hold
a full summer session next year. The
plan should result in a substantial re-
duction of the civil docket, with cor
responding shortening of the time lags
which are hampering the administration
of justice in civil litigation.
BY spending more time on the bench
during the usual vacation season, the
District Court judges should be able to
make sizeable dent in the pile of more
than 1000 Jury cases and the more than
1000 nonjury cases awaiting trial When
litigation is delayed for nearly two years,
public confidence in the courts tends
to be shaken.
Judge Laws, long concerned over
the case backlog, has worked hard to
speed up court processes. The recent
transfer of domestic relations cases
from the District Court to the Municipal
Court should tighten the burden of the
former tribunal-but new cases continue
to accumulate. Under the circumstances,
the assignment of more judges to the
summer session is fully warranted, for
this will contribute materially to long
overdue speed-up of justice here.

puppet Kadar regime has been moved
to observe the event by declaring as
follows: I'VE can never forget that just
one year ago today Hungary failed by
only hairsbreadth of being swept into
NATO. But Hungary was saved by the
Intervention of Soviet troops"-a noble
group of liberty-loving slaughterers who
Ibid not come as -occupiers but as
friends"
1t takes little Imagination to visu-
alize how this statement, this complete
upending of the truth, must have been
received by the captive Hungarian
people. One can almost hear their bitter
inward laughter, and feel some measure
of the rage which they hold within
themselves like banked fire. Although
they have been UNDERSTANDABLE quiet on
the first anniversary of Moscow's great
crime againSt.them, we can be sure that
they are not resigned to their present
dark fate. And we can hope and pray
that sooner or later, God willing, they
will once again enjoy the blessings of
freedom that they so richly merit.

New Jersey

The principal result of Governor
Meyner's repeat victory in New Jersey
will be to enhance his stature when
the Democrats get around to picking a
national ticket in 1860.
The Governor was expected to win
reelection. But his plurality of around
100000 votes was impressive. This is all
the more true when it is recalled that
President Eisenhower carried the State
year ago by 100000 votes. This time,
Mr.. Eisenhower warmly Endorsed the
G. o. P. candidate, Malcolm S. Forbes,
and Vice President Nixon campaigned
for him. But the voters stayed with Mr..
Meyner-a tribute, we think, to his ex-
cellent performance as Governor. If
there is any evidence that indignation,
or Little Rock, played any significant
part in the voting, we have been unable
to find it,

New York City

Here again an Eisenhower indorse-
ment went down the drain. But New
York City was lost cause from the first
day. Republican Christenberry, run
ming against Mayor Wagner, was
doomed man and everybody knew it, If
there is any real significance in this
result. it lies in the magnitude of Mayor
Wagner'S victory and the seeming hope
lessness of the Republican cause in New
York City.
In short, there is no angle from
which the Republican strategistS can
survey the voting pattern and find any
thing to cheer them. The year 1857
has been lean one for the G. o. P.
and we suspect that it foreshadows
leaner years to come.

I am certain there must be
insurmountable difficulties at
tending unification of these
many drives. Otherwise, the
sinful waste of manpower.
administrative services, book

obliterated. Organizations re-
luctant to surrender their
