Der of the legislative branch OF

Ali parts of the Constitutions

Nor are any of them more i'm

on weather that person happens

The treatment given George II.
Carswell by a senate judiciary
subcommittee the other lay
would have been amusing except
for it's sinister connotations.
Carswell had been nominated
by President Eisenhower to be a
federal judge in Florida. The
subcommittee was considering
whether to recommend that he
be approved for appointment.
In the course of the brief hear
ing, Senator Eastland Cd of Mis-
sissippi, who has built reputa-
ton based on racial prejudice
and red hunting, asked Carswell
to take special oath, never be-
fore required of judicial candl-
dates. This was an oath Senator
O'Mahoney Cd of Wyoming had
dreamed up.
Carswell was asked to declare
under oath that if he is appointed
to the bench and takes an oath
to defend the Constitution" he
will understand that (second)
oath to mean that he must sup
port the section of the Constitu-
ton which vests all legislative
power in Congress and, Therefore,
must not participate in any court
decision altering the meaning OF
the Constitution or any act pass
ed by Congress under the Con-
stitution.
The nominee, Carswell, readily
agreed to take oath No. relat-
ing to how he would interpret
oath No. 2. Perhaps, he did not
catch the significance OF the
Eastland maneuver. Perhaps, he
was eager to get the job. To
make the farce complete, he
should have been asked to take
another oath - No. 3 - saying

most raw example found of this
kind was in an old Bible, Zone of

Aid for the Judqe

Since Congress-or more specifically
the House-failed to authorize a second
judge for the overloaded Juvenile Court,
consideration might we'll be given to pro-
viding Judge Ketcham with one or two
staff aides to screen cases through hear
ing procedures. 1t is understood that a
proposal toward this end has been dis
cuSsed in conferences between the Judge
and District officials. The plan would
be used in addition to other relief meas
ureS, such as the waving of Juvenile
Court jurisdiction in more felony cases.
The Juvenile Court hearings pre-
Sumably would be somewhat on the
order of the pretrial hearings which have
helped to reduce the workload of the
District Court. 1t is sometimes possible
to settle cases before a hearing officer,
thus obviating the necessity for a trial.
There is no apparent reason why similar
hearing procedures could not be adapted
to the needs of the Juvenile Court, pro-
vided the staff were available.
At present the court is seriously I'M
derStaffed, despite the tremendous bur-
den it is forced to carry. If Congress
continues at the next session to deny
the court the extra judge it needs to
handle the rush of cases, it should, at
least, see that Judge Ketcham is given
more adequate staff to help him handle
the work of the court. And if special
authority is required for setting up hear
ing procedures under system of special
assistants to the judge. that authority
ought to be granted promptly at the
next session Of Congress.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TRACEWELL

Temp Jones felt a wave
of humiliation sweep over
him.
He had sneezedl
The man who, for many
years, has been lecturing the
people of Washington about
unnecessary sneezing, and
especially in public places.
Here, all of a sudden, he
had cut loose with one of
the biggest sneezes ever
heard on a bus.
Red behind the ears,
Jones held his handkerchief
to his mouth, as he had so
often told other people to do.
The trouble was, as it
mostly is. that the sneeze
came SO suddenly that he
could not whip out his hand
kerchief in time for a good
cover up job.

Many friends, thinking to
placate Temp Jones. say most
summer sneezes are just al
lergies of one sort or an
other. mainly hay fever.
Nonsense" says Temp
Jones, who has studied colds
from all angles.
The summer cold is always
with us, too, he says. Not
just the winter cold. The hui
man system, modern style.
seems particularly open to
respirational troubles.
Jones recalls that at least
a quarter of a century ago
he attended a medical meet
ing on the subject of colds.
and the doctors assembled
agreed that they didn't know
anything about colds or how
to treat them.
Grandmother's remedies,
they asserted, we're about as
good as anything.
Today, however, there are
more ways of treating a cold,
and the results secured are
better.
For one thing, there ac-
tually is less sneezing in pub
lie places. due, Jones hopes,
to his continuing crusade.
The antihistamines, too,
have helped some. he feels
sure, especially the sorts that
make for sleepineSs. A good
sleep is one Of the best cold
remedies. Nature does it. in
other words, if left alone.
Currents Of air playing on
one part Of the anatomy. as
from an electric fan. are
likely to cause upset noses.
The human nose is a won
derful organ.

Cautions Motorists

Trying to stretch a holi-
day beyond its limits can be
fatal. Such long holiday
weekends as the Labor Day
period are particularly poor
times in which to try it.
In planning your Labor
Day holiday trip. why not
consider the need for Sufi-
Gent time to make the jour-
ney at a safe speed, with adj
ditional allowance for UNI
foreseen delays? It's better to
take a shorter trip and re-
turn alive.
Evaluating dangerous
speed doesn't have to involve
pointlesS debate like How
high is up?" The drivers
good sense and personal re-
sponsibility can give the
answer very easily. Speed
greater than posted or de-
clared limits can always be
assumed to be dangerous.
These limits represent the
judgment of trained traffic
engineers as to maximum
safe speed under ideal condi-
tons.
But beyond that the per-
sonal responsibility OF every
driver requires that he vol
unfairly set his own speed
limit below the permitted
maximum when highway and
weather conditions demand
it.
OF course, the too-slow
driver can be dangerous, par
ticularly when he picks the
middle of a busy highway to
slow down abruptly. But in
the accidents which develop
from the too-slow driver,
blame frequently must be
shared by the driver behind
him, the driver whose pre-
occupation with haste kept
him from maintaining a safe
stopping distance from the
car ahead.
So why not SLOW Down
and Live?"

Justice Distracted

S6SesSS S1SkI IN SCQ
Citizens of Washington
have once more been cheated
by their lawmakers and this
time in a particularly cruel
fashion.
This concerns the operation
OF just a small department
of our Government but an
important one-the Juvenile
Court.
In May, 1857, a bill was in
troduced in the House by
Representative Davis of
Georgia to the effect that
there be an additional judge
in that court. After holding
hearings, the House District
Committee unanimously ap-
proved the bill and in June,
1857, the House passed the
bill without amendment. The
Senate District Committee
also held hearings and APP
proved the bill. 1t was passed
by the Senate in April, 1858,
with three amendments that
were added from the floor.
The matter was then sent to
conference in order to reach
agreement on these details.
Several of the House con-
fereeS did not like the fact
that the Justice Department
was willing to consider a
Negro candidate for this Job
and commenced obstruction
airy tactics.
Representative O'Hara OF
Minnesota attempted re-
peatedly to submit the con-
ference report accepting the
original House bill in toto
exactly as introduced by Mr..
Davis of Georgia. But the
single objection of Represent
alive Davis of Georgia pre-
vented it from being con-
sidered and the bill died
when the House adjourned
August "a.
So for another year our
community and our children
will be seriously deprived
because the overloaded court.
will not be able to handle
to its satisfaction and ours
the delinquent, dependent;
and illegitimate children Of
the District of Columbia.
The bill will probably come
up again next year, but far
more important than this will
be the new bill for self
government or home rule.
When Congress returns,
lend your ears, your brains.
your hearts. and your voices
to the purpose of governing
yourselves in your chosen
city.

1t was, of course. the first
air conditioner.
The nose takes in air, such
as it is now, and heats 1t,
cools it, on demand.
In doing this, however, it
is subject to conditions be-
yond its control.
And that, Temp Jones says.
is where the trouble comes in.
This trouble means colds,
hay fever, and assorted ills.
1t is impossible for the av-
erage person. or even for the
expert, to say just what part
polluted air plays in all this.

Jones believes that people
everywhere have been alerted
against the dangers Of the
germs connected with respi-
rational diseases.
So he is never going m
say anything about them
again.
People can now sneeze all
they want to, any place, any,
where. as far as Mr.. Jones is
concerned.
He says he is disbanding
his anti-sneezing society, Of
which he has been president
so long.
Its work is done.
From now on, people will
be on their own, free to sneeze
or not sneeze. just as they
please.
Former President Jones re-
serves the right, however, to
put his handkerchief over
his nose and mouth when
ever he wants to, without
criticism from guys who know
no better.
If they knew better, he
says. they wouldn't do it.
DO which?" we asked, in
nocently. "Sneeze or criti-
cize?"
Both" snorted T. Jones.
"One is as bad as the other"
