DAVID LAWRENCE

Judge Norman E. Arterburn
Of the Supreme Court Of In
diana has come forward with
a novel solution to the con-
troversy that has arisen as a
result Of recent decisions Of
the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
The Indiana jurist, who
has served a term as chief
justice under the rotating
system in Indiana, was re-
sponsible for the resolution,
presented a year ago at the
Conference of State Chief
Justices, which resulted in a
comprehensive report ap-
proved last month by 36 of
the State Chief Justices, crit
icizing decisions Of the Ma
TONS highest court. He rec
ommends now that there
should be a new court set UP
by constitutional amendment
which would be known as the
Court of Constitutional Def
nition."
In a letter to this corre-
spondent, Judge Arterburn
presents a plan which, If 1t
had been in effect in 1854,
would have prevented the
present dispute on the legali-
ties Of the segregation-inte-
grafton question from de-
veloping at all. His letter
makes no mention of this
issue but is confined solely
to recent reversals Of its own
rulings by the Supreme Court
of the United States in cases
concerning Federal-State re-
lationships.

tendency to regard the indi-
vidual philosophy of the
judges of the United States
Supreme Court as the law
of the land and a substitute
for stable and fixed principles
of construction and interpre-
tation of the Constitution.
When long-established deci-
sions and precedent are over
turned, we lawyers and
judges find ourselves in an
uncharted sea with nothing
to guide us, subject to the
vagaries of a dislocated COM
pass.

table destruction by over
whelming force. Chang Kali
shek probably would fight,
for he has everything to lose
anyway if he elected to ac-
cept the betrayal. AS Hitler
did after solemnly agreeing
to abide by the terms of the
Munich agreement, the Com
munists probably would with
in a year attack and destroy
the Nationalist and annex
Formosa.
But all the talk about two
Chinas" as a solution to the
very dangerous situation in
the Formosa area leaves out
one factor that probably
makes the entire discussion
academic There is very lit
tie ground for believing that
the Chinese Communists
would accept any such
scheme. Their desire to shoot
their way into the United
Nations is not that great,
principally because Peiping
knows that the Red forces
can seize Formosa and an
initiate Chang any time they
do not have to face the might
of the United States.
Thus the scheme of two
Chinas" holds no appeal as
a bargaining point in the
current Warsaw talks or later.
A trader can't offer his 'op-
ponent something the latter
feels reasonably certain he
will get anyway. one time or
another. And Peiping prob
ably never would trust or be
tolerant Of Chang Kai-shek.
even "leashed" by interna-
tional agreement.
The Chinese Communist
regime realistically aims its
tactics and its intrigues at
the United States. For only
the power Of the United
States can, in the long run,
maintain Formosa's inde-
pendence and keep the Com
munists worried about their
hold on the mainland peo-

In all the talk over the
current crisis in the Far East
there seems to be little II any
constructive comment among
the administrations critics.
They complain that the
United States is in an sim
possible situation" but they
don't seem to have any
formula for getting out Of 1t.
Obviously, we could end
the whole business, for the
time being, by pressuring
Chang Kai-shek and the
Nationalist Chinese govern
ment to pull their garrisons
out Of the offshore islands
and withdraw TO Formosa.
Perhaps our policymakers and
Pentagon strategists could
make that move look like
something other than the
humiliating retreat It really
would be.
Or we could embrace the
two Chinas" theof and APP
proach the CommV sts with
an offer to get out Quemoy
and the Matsus, go back to
Formosa, and be quiet in ex-
change for a Communist
pledge to let the island of
Formosa and the Pescadores
chain alone. Then, the pro-
gram goes, we probably could
work out a deal. by which
Communist China would be
admitted to the United Ma
tons, and Chang Kai-shek's
Republic Of China would be-
come the Republic of For
mosa, or some such title.
