WILLIAM s. WHITE
Brethren Have Time on Their Side

The so-called liberal fac
ton is headed by Black and
Warren. with Justice VII
liam o. Douglas in their
company and Justice, VIII
liam j. Brennan. jr, some
times-but not always-with
them.
The hard-core conserva-
tives are Justices Harold H.
Burton. Tom c. Clark and
Charles E. Whitaker.
The two Justices who are
perhaps the Courts out
standing Constitutional au-
thorities. Frankfurter and
John Marshall Harlan, form
a generally uncommitted
third force. On the whole,
however, they are more like
" to come down on the side
of restraint than of innova-
ton in questions Of the
Courts proper powers.
Through history the Court
has been under intermittent
attack. Franklin D. Roose-
welt tried to pack it for being
too conservative on economic
issues. And where 20 years
ago the advanced liberals
were after the Court, the
ultra-conservatives are after
it today.
The Court that was too
illiberal two decades ago is
now, in the eyes of the right
wing. far too liberal-main-
~ because of its anti-segre-
cation decision and its vari-
Gus rulings restricting Gov
eminent action against Com
munists or suspected Com
munistS.
The Brethren well know all
this history. They are not,
however, greatly disturbed.
Time is long upon the High
Bench, and all things pass
away. Come next october,
upon reconvening from the
summer recess. the nine
black-robed men will file in
at noon. The Crier will call
out. God save the United
States and this Honorable
Court" And the long march
of justice will go serenely on.

almost certainly hurttul since

almost certainly hurtful since
he already is distrusted by
party intellectuals and labor.
For the liberal cause, a
Marlborough victory is natur-
ally better, since Blakley was
so grimly conservative and
backed by the oil interests
they most dislike in politics.
But the Marlborough record
has still to be made here.
Nor is the Texas outcome
a sure barometer of the
South. This week Arkansas
is expected to renominate
Gov. Orval Faubus for a pre-
cedent-shattering third term,
term. a clear victory for the
segregationistS.
The border State of Ten
nessee is coming up, too, with
an entirely different set of
conditions. The able moder-
ate, Senator Albert Gore. Of
ten mentioned as q presiden-
tial possibility, is being
strongly challenged on the
segregation issue and foreign
policy by a former Governor,
Prentice Cooper.
'' Because Gore was also an
effective member of tn
House for years, his race is
viewed as a real test of
whether a Southern Senator
can be a moderate and sur
vive. Watching 1t very closely
indeed is his colleague, Sem
ator Estes Kefauver. who ex-
poets TO confront Gov. Frank
Clement in the Senate DEM
ocratic primary in 1860.

During the last 10 years,
whenever we were caught
with our diplomatic pants
down. the politicians blamed
the Central intelligence
Agency for ineinciency. IL
is natural that the lawmak-
ers should expect much from
an agency which costs the
taxpayers hundreds Of mil
lions OF dollars yearly.
The CHA does not answer
completely the purposes for
which Il was created In 1915.
II Is topheavy and frequently
more interested In interna-
tional cloak and dagger In
trigues than IN actual intelli-
gence.
But after this Is said. II
must also be admitted that
n those In charge OF policy
making paid more attention
TO its reports, we would not
have been caught OF base In
a number Of occasions.
For instance. the GA had
warned President Truman
and his subordinates Of the
impending North Korea at
tack on South Korea.
Beginning with the month
Of November. 1919, 1t kept
the White House and the
National Security Council
posted about the buildup Of
the North Korea forces.
These reports continued until
the minute the North Korean
puppets launched their sur
prise" attack on South
Korea.
In May, the CHA provided
the important information
that the populations of the
villages north Of the 3Sth
parallel had beens evacuated
and houses destroyed TO en-
able a fTeer movement for
the % Red tanks and a
clearer range for their ar
tillery. Yet on June /, 1850,
President Truman stated that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-07-28


as Warren is outgoing-thin-
faced. ascetic. with some
thing of the worn, rubbed
look of an old and much
used law book.
The urban, intellectual
East is typified by Justice
Felix Frankfurter of Mas
sachusetts. who is spry. witty,
wiry and full of the joy of
life. For years Frankfurter. a
Franklin Roosevelt appointee,
was looked upon with great
fear by the ultra -conserva-
tives.
He was pictured as the
head and master of a class
room radicalism that was
training its junior officers in
the Harvard Law School for
the sole purpose of joining
Field Marshal Frankfurter in
an ultimate assault upon
every Union League club and
management group in this
Nation.
The Court has long
memories of many ironies. A
present irony is that Frank
furter, no doubt with some
wry private thoughts. has
become something of a hero
to the legal conservatives.
For the Court of 1883 in a
most polite and fair-minded
way-is fundamentally di-
vided along what might
roughly be called conserva-
tive and liberal lines.
And Frankfurter some
times is actually the chief
of the conservative group.
Generally speaking. he takes
a rather traditional and re-
served view of the proper
role Of the Court. He does
not gladly challenge con-
gressional acts - though
many in Congress have very
often challenged his acts.

DAVID LAWRENCE

What are the chances OF
q big war? Summit" confer
ences IN the past have been
primarily held 10 satisfy a
wishful public opinion. but
usually national positions
have 80 hardened on vital is
sues that by the time such
conferences are held IT'S too
late 10 avert war.
Based on history's record.
this correspondent believes
that the chances Of World
War III breaking out sud-
denly are about fifty-iifty.
Almost every summit"
conference held IN this CEN
fury has been an ominous
precursor Of war. While the
summit" conference was
being held at Geneva In 1855.
Soviet Russia was secretly
laying the foundation for the
present war threat In the
Middle East by making an
arms deal with Nasser. Just
IL months after that sum
nit" conference. Nasser
grabbed Suez. and the Brit
ish and French landed troops

II Is amazing how widely
the impression prevails before
a war that there will be no
war. This writer remembers
how convinced he was from
reading the press Of 1918 and
1914 that there would not be
any world war. He recalls,
too. how many competent
observers returning from Eu-
rope in the summer Of 1899
we're saying there wouldn't
be any World War II.
Reviewing the most sig
nificant of the summit"
conferences Of history. 1t will
be recalled that kings and
emperors visited each other
back and forth prior to 1914.
and there was plenty talk Of
disarmament and Of pre-
scribing neutrality" for the
buffer states like Belgium.
When, however. the Arch
duke Of Austria was asSassi-
mated in Serbia in June, 1914,
1t was the spark that set of
World War /. Two small
countries had dragged the
big countries into 1t, but be-
hind it all was the funda-
mental cleavage Of the larger
powers.
Again in the 1930s there
we're plenty of top-level con-
ferences with both Hitler and
Mussolini. The cry Of ma
tionalism" was heard often
as. for example. when Hitler
demanded that Germans in
Czechoslovakia be reunited

High Court Justices Have No Power
Except the Greatest Power OF All

The home of The Breth-
rem is a great blazingly white
temple across which. etched
in stone, is this motto: Equal
Justice Under Law.
The Brethren are the nine
Justices of the Supreme
Court. the worlds most in
fiuential tribunal and the
only one Of its kind. This
independent branch Of the
Government of the United
States is at once the most
majestic and the least ag-
eressive of all the six faces
of official Washington.
This court is guardian Of
the Constitution. 1t asserts
- and sometimes actually
uSes-the right to veto the
acts Of a Congress or a Presi-
dent as unconstitutional. But
it has no military force at
it's command, as does the
President: no hold over the
national purse, as does Con-
gress. In fact the Court has
really no power whatever to
enforce what it says - no
power except the greatest
power Of all. This is a pc
culiar moral force arising
from the long Anglo-Amer-
lean tradition for playing the
game as the rules provide,
or as they may be authori-
tatively interpreted.
This national sense Of de-
cency has thus far, for nearly
two centuries, been more
persuasive than dive bomb
ers.
The present Court is like
a slice of the country. The
Chief Justice, Earl Warren,
is a big hail-fellow as breezy
as his native California-and
a little inclined. in the view
of some critics, to be too
cheerfully quick and Western
in settling some cases OF old
and infinite complication.
The senior member Of the
Court in service. Hugo Black
Of Alabama. is as withdrawn

Health Officials
On The Lookout
For Doll Heads

Following reports from Ralph
E. Dwork, Director of the Ohio
Department of Health relative
to the sale Of small voodoo dolls
made of cashew nutshell with
jequirity bean eyes, imported
from Haiti, the local Depart
ment of Health began a check of
all stores in East Cleveland that
might be offering the toy for
sale.
Also being checked are the
imported straw slippers for
children, some of which are
decorated with the miniature
doll heads.
So far, reports Stanley Sleko,
sanitation officer, no doll heads
or slippers in this classification
have been in East Cleveland
stores.
The cashew nut shells con-
tain an oil which causes a
blistering type of skin rash and
the jequirity beans contain a
toxic substance which may
cause severe illness and death
if swallowed by child.
The voodoo doll heads were
also reported in the form of
swizzle sticks.
Any person noticing any of
these items on sale in q store,
should communicate with his
health department.

Surprise! City
Gets YuIe Gift

Salt and Christmas may be as
far apart as the poles but to the
City of East Cleveland this
year, salt means an unheard of
Christmas gift of S250O.
1t happens this way:
Minus any explanation. the
international Salt Company.
from whom the city has pur-
chased it's salt for 10, these
many years, has given notice
that, effective November 1st.
the salt price is reduced by
$500 per ton.
This years salt contract calls
for $3.50 a ton. The city uses
an average of 700 tons of salt
on its streets in a fiscal year.
And this year, with the earlier
than usual, and heavier than
usual snowfall, it will just about
squeeze through.
So the cut on 700 tons, from
$3.50 to $3.50 well that's
quite a gift.
"What will you do with the
money!" Finance Director G..
t. Apthrop was asked.
"Put it in the salt fund" was
his prompt reply"

Early Fall temperatures
range from a high of 116 to
a low 100 degrees. Later, when
the mercury drops to 95 de-
grees the swimming pools
close.
Two tanks continue to guard
the Embassy. Armed soldiers
bar entrance until identifica-
tion is seen. Should a car re-
fuse to stop they have orders
to shoot to kill. Carrying a
camera is a sure ticket to pris-
on.
Mosgouf and Kebab roasts
seem to be the predominant
fare for outdoor cookery. At
a table within a stones throw
of the Incredible Tigris' one
evening, there came to light a
new code of manners. Half a
fish was set down in the mid

of food, the Iraqs have put
an end to importing canned
dogfood, only Americ i C a n S
bought it, and there aren't
many left.
Immediately, with the ad-
vent of the July 14th revolu-
tion, social life at the Ameri-
can Embassy came to screech-
ing halt. Most of the wives
and children were evacuated to
Rome. Otherwise, no one has
been allowed beyond the city
limits.
