DAVID LAWRENCE

This is the week when the
American Bar Association is
meeting in New York, and
already there are the usual
TRADES against those lawyers
and laymen who have had
the temerity to criticize re-
cent decisions Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The misleading theory that
the Supreme Court is the
last word" and that. once
the court has spoken, there
is no right Of criticism or
any opportunity to secure a
reversal has been widely
propagated.
Actually, Congress has au-
thority over the Supreme
Court and can nullify its de-
cisions at will, in many in
stances by the simple method
Of specifying by law what
cases the Supreme Court may
or may not pass upon there
after. The Constitution says:
I'm all cases affecting am
bassadors, other public min
listers and consulS, and those
In which a State shall be
party, the Supreme Court
shall have original jurisdic-
ton. In all the other cases
before mentioned, the Su-
preme Court shall have APP
pellate jurisdiction, both as
to law and fact, with such
exceptions, and under such
regulations as the Congress
shall make"
This means that Congress
can issue a set Of "regula-
tons" in which it can be stip-
ulated, for example, that the
Supreme Court may not re-
view or accept for appeal any
cases involving testimony
taken by committees of Con-
gress relating to contempt or
refusal to answer.
The Congress also could by
law specify that no cases
shall be received by the Su-
preme Court for appeal in
volving local law enforce
ment problems, such as the
right of the Federal govern
ment or a State or city or
county government to ques-
ton before or after arraign-
ment persons arrested and
suspected Of crime. Congress
can specify that these shall

Secretary and News Officials to Confer
On Prohibited Visits to Red Chino
DORIS .FLEESON

The Eisenhower admins
tration negotiates its mill
tary contracts, shows dis
senters the exit and seeks by
its power Of appointment to
mould the policies of the
independent agencies. The
press is next.
Freedom of the press has
always been considered nom
negotiable and indivisible by
working reporters, as count
less policemen, politicians
and assorted public figures
can testify. Secretary of
State Dulles, however, will
seek to negotiate and divide
1t late this week with what
the department impressively
calls news media represent
atives."
The group will discuss the
right of American reporters
to enter Red China. For
many months the Secretary
has been fighting against it
with excuses of more or less
doubtful validity, some of
them highly uncomplimen-
tary to the trade.
He still seeks to limit
sharply the freedom of the
press, first by insisting that
in peacetime he has the
right to control its travels
and second. by putting his
oar into the selection of the
reporters to be given what
he defines as the privilege of
entering Red China.
Earlier he had asked en-
ployers in the various news
businesses to agree among
themselves on a kind of blue
ribbon list of sound men"
whose qualifications for going
where Dulles did not want
them to go in the first place
would be passed upon by
Dulles. This was rejected.
His latest idea is that rep
resentatives of the IL United
States news organizations
that had men in China prior
to its seizure by the Commu-
nistS should receive the ac-
colade. The State Depart
ment says the news orgain-

courts or specially constituted
tribunals.
It is not generally realized
that Congress has the power
to create or abolish lower
courts. The Constitution
says:
THE judicial power Of the
United States shall be vested
in one Supreme Court, and in
such inferior courts as the
Congress may from time 70
time ordain and establish.
The judges, both of the Su-
preme and inferior courts,
shall hold their offices dur
ing good behavior, and shall.
at stated times. receive for
their services a compensation
which shall not be diminished
during their continuance in
office"
Not only does the Congress
have power to specify by law
what good behavior" means,
but also what the district
courts and the United States
Circuit Courts of Appeal
shall rule upon. Through its
power to "ordain and estab-
lish" special courts. Con-
gress can deal with particular
problems that may arise. The
Constitution, indeed, gives a
very narrow jurisdiction over
cases to the Supreme Court
and gives the widest juris-
diction to Congress to de-
clare what cases the highest
court may properly under
take to review.
If, therefore, the Congress
wishes to pass a law stating
that the Supreme Court shall
not review any cases involv-
ing schools or educational
problems, this can be done
without violating the Con-
stitution. Education can be
left to State courts, and,
when a Federal question
arises, it can be given to
Federal district courts for
final judgment.
The people. therefore, have
a right to appeal to their
elected Representatives in
Congress to- take steps to
curb what they believe is the
recklessness and arbitrariness
Of the Supreme Court. 1t is
an inherent right which the
people have to express them
selves on these points.

Stunning and possibly risky.
Yet what Dulles seems to
regard as the adventures of
the trade have a contribution
to make. Speaking bluntly,
they can operate without
hedging. while men assigned
to permanent Offices must
work with reserve and dis
erection. laying their pipelines
for the long pull and using
them with care.
Even the most casual read
er of travel books and
memoirs must be impressed
with the value to the British
over the centuries of its adj
venturers into strange lands.
Those people were men and
women who were daring, and
often extremely eccentric.
They loved their country and
cared not a damn for any
politician.

were not so determined to
keep every smidge of United
States foreign policy in his
own two hands, he could have

On Criticizing the Supreme Court

Certainly. the right to crit
icize cannot be denied to the
people when the members of
the court itself exercise that
privilege. 1t was Justice
Clark of the Supreme Court
who on June II last. in a dis
senting opinion in the Wat
kins case, said:
"As I'see it, the chief fault
in the majority opinion is its
mischievous curbing of the
informing function of the
Congress. My experience
in the executive branch Of
the Government leads me to
believe that the requirements
laid down in the opinion for
the operation of the commit
tee system of inquiry are both
unnecessary and unwork-
able"
Here is q justice who tells
the Nation that the inveStiga-
tive function Of Congress it
self has been seriously inter-
fered with. He calls this
"mischievous." yet there are
persons who claim that what
the Supreme Court has said
is sacrosanct and that any,
one who criticizes the court
is out of order. One President
of the United States has said
in a public speech that the
decisions of the Supreme
Court are not "irrevocable."
Another President, also in a
speech, said:
Our difficulty with the
court today rises not from
the court as an institution
but from human beings with
in 1t We have reached
the point as a Nation where
we must take action to save
the Constitution from the
court and the court from it
self The court, in addi-
ton to its proper use of its
judicial functions, has i'm
properly set itself up as a
third house of the Congress
"a super-legislature, as one
of the justices has called it
reading into the Constitu-
ton words and implications
which are not there, and
which were never intended
to be there"
Certainly this is a legiti-
mate form of criticism, and
certainly there still is a right
to differ and dissent from So
called judicial" opinions as
we'll as from presidential
utterances.

Soviet Envoy Seeks to Discourage Idea

Citations of the purged include
the accusation that they

be stiffening rather than
relaxing his opposition TO

One of these. a new and
constructive one, is to call to-
gether scientific experts from
all countries. including the
Soviet Union. to try to pre-
pare a system of inspection
and control of nuclear arms
tests as an essential step to-
ward a suspension of them.
A meeting of international
nuclear scientists-and pre-
sumably of other scientists
concerned with the certain or
calculable effects of contin-
ued tests-was first proposed
by Prof. Otto Hahn of

West Germany. Since the

A man who had a claim
against the estate left him by

heritance tax only on the
amount left after the claim is
deducted. rather than on the
entire amount left him, the
U. S. Court Of Appeals for the
District Of Columbia ruled
yesterday.
The case marked the first
time the issue has arisen in
the District under its inheri-
lance tax laws.
The case involved Mrs.
Leah Rome. a former Maryland
resident, now dead. and her
brother, George Hyman. a Dis
trict real estate man.
In her will, Mrs. Rome left
Mr.. Lyman interest in real
estate and other assets worth
about $4,000. Against this,
Mr.. Hyman had placed a claim
for about $4,000 as part of
money he spent for her care
and maintenance during sew
eral years Of illness.
The District Tax Court had
ruled he must pay inheritance

estate left him.

would have thought that this
suggestion would have been
welcomed by the Russians.
For the Russians in the dis
armament negotiations have
been the most insistent
on abandoning further tests
and outlawing the use Of
thermonuclear weapons in
