of this district, has called for es-
tablishment of special house COM
mittee to study and make recon-
mendations aimed at strengthening

ment of l0-man bipartisan select
committee to make the probe. In
Guided in the group would be the

Congressional
Viewpoint
Gen, John Marshall Buts@


The Tribunal of Last Resort
That the recent decisions of the
Supreme Court have created a twi-
light zone of judicial and public
confusion there can be little debate.
Lawyers and laymen alike have
echoed the criticisms expressed by
some iurists And, it is suggested
that President Eisenhower has
privately voiced a measure of
alarm concerning the pattern Of
these newborn rulings by the high
est Court in the land at times
called the tribunal of last report
affecting international affairs, in
ternal subvcrSion and Congression-
al authority.
With an abnormal emphasis upon
sociological and theological mat
tiers, the Supreme Court, in de-
luge of Notwithstanding and
far-reaching judgments, has dem
onstrated a disregard for classic
legal principles, and in particular,
"A contempt for the doctrine of
stare dccisis-the policy of follow
ing rules and principles established
by previous judicial decisions. With
a dismaying byplay on words, the
Court has weakened the ability of
the Government to deal with the
communist conspiracy. Even its
most articulate defenders admit
that, more and more, the Court
has invaded the legislative field.
Indeed, in some quarters, it is said
the highest court in the land has
become court of ideologies rather
than a court of law.
What is to be done or can be
done? In truth, the Congress has
the power and the implicit duty to
correct any excuses, omissions or
errors of the Supreme Court. 1t is
so provided in the Constitution. The
Founding Fathers, with vision
and wisdom sadly lacking today,
intended that the legislative branch
retain an active interest in, and
co-equal working relationship with,
the Supreme Court and the lower
Federal Courts. OF late, too many
otherwise well-informcd people
have blithely assumed, or errone-
ously concluded, that the Supreme
Court is above and superior to the
other two branches of our Govern
ment. Article III, Section of the
Constitution provides a means by
which the Congress can and should
maintain appropriate control over
authorized functions of the Court.
And so, it might be said that the
Congress is really the tribunal of
last resort.
The responsibility of the Con-
gress therefore cannot be cast
aside, minimized or wished away.
If these troublesome decisions are
to be righted, the Congress must
act. But, it is essential that these

crued in the meantime, the

be objective, careful and unemo-
tional actions. To do otherwise
might lead to ill-conceived legis-
lative activity, resulting in a
greater sense of uncertainty on the
part of the American people who

in the Supreme Court.

Queries on Quilts

Mrs. C. A. D., Alerdndrid ,


Should a quilt top pieced Is
years ago be washed before I
try to find someone to quilt
it? I don't think I could have
it quilted soon as it would no
doubt be expensive. However.
part of the white pieces have
turned yellowish and perhaps
this yellow would deepen as
it gets older. So if it is to be
washed and dried ins the sun,
maybe I shouldn't delay
longer.
I wouldn't dare use a
bleach, as 1t might ruin the
prints and green. 1t is called
