Boycott Continues:
Los Angeles NAAcP
& BudWeiSer Fail
To Reoch Accord

Los Angeles.-The Los Angeles
branch NAACP announced today
that an "fmpasse" had been
reached in the negotiations with
the representative of Anheuser
Busch Co., makers of Budweiser
beer.
william C. Porter, the brewery's
topranking Negro employee, out
from St.Louis the past two months
to "evaluate" the boycott situation,
has been unable, the NAACP said,
ito commit the company to hire
Negroes as truck drivers, bottlers,
packers, shipping clerks, secre-
taries," or in any Of the capacities
In which they are not hired.
The Rev. Maurice A. Dawdns,
president Of the NAACP, described
Porter as designated to represent
the company with full authority -.
Yet, he said, Porter Is unable
TO commit the company to sit In
a three-way conference, as rec
commended by NAACP protest
leaders, with representatives Of
the unions involved, the NAACP,
and the company"
Porter is unable, either, to COM
nit the company ITO sit down In
discussion with the California
Brewers Association, the unions
and the NAACP," DawFins stated,
and he added:
He was unable to give a direct
answer to the question Of why An
heuser Busch could not put into
practice in the Van Mugs plant
their stated national policy Of non
discrimination in hiring"
Hires Negroes In Mississippi
The Rev. DawlSins asserted that
the brewer of Budweiser beer
which has been boycotted in the
Los Angeles area by Negroes for
. over two months now, hires Ne
groes as truck drivers and in
shipping departments in other
' states including Mississippi" In its
nLos Angeles area operation, the

Dorothy THOMPSON
Famed Jurist Seen Supporting Argument
Integr0tion Decision Was Usurpotion

Court q third legislative
chamber"
Judge Hand has long been
consistent in this concept,
but he has been so associated
with a liberal" outlook that
his judicial views have been
overlooked. He was critical
of the Supreme Court when
1t threw out New Deal stat
utes-and on the same
ground-that it was not the
courts business to decide on
the merits Of social and eco
nomic legislation. The polit-
ical champions Of that legis-
lation then hailed his views
because they bolstered their
own aims. It is somewhat
sardonic that the same peo-
pie, when Judge Hand MAIN
tains his position in a case
where the court has taken
a legislative initiative of
which they approve, should
be startled.
But there is a very real
constitutional crisis in Amer
lea, in which the frontiers Of
the traditional division" and
checks and balances" to
powers are becoming ex-
tremely blurred.
If the Supreme Court is
more and more assuming a
legislative function, so is the
presidency. Especially in for

Summit Farley and the Senate

treaty Of vital concern to
the United States. President
Wilson was urged to let some
Senators accompany him to
Paris and was severely criti-
cized for his refusal. Yet
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt disregarded the lesson
Of that episode and failed
to take any Senators with
him to Yalta. To this day he
is criticized for that omis-
sicq.
II, to be sure, there's to be
q summit" conference, it
can hardly be in conformity
with either the letter or the
spirit Of the Constitution
unless the Senate itself
votes to send two or more of
its members to such a meet
ing to give the advice"
which the Senate is empow-
cred to offer during the
course Of any treaty making.
Certainly it viii not be
argued that the matters to be
discussed at the summit"
meeting will not involve bind
ing agreements and that con-
sequently 1t isn't necessary
for the Senate to participate.
For the whole world has been
told that the summit" con-
ference is to be a means Of
solving the very critical prob
lens that have arisen between
the East and West, such as
the scrapping of the NATO
Treaty in favor Of a new
treaty to include the Warsaw
pact countries, and the with
drawal of American forces
from foreign bases in ex-
change for some pledge con-
corning disarmament on the
part Of the Soviets. Plainly
these subjects are more i'm
portant today than the topics
covered by any previous
agreements or treaties in the
history Of the United States.
There can't be truly a
summit" meeting. therefore,
till the Senate votes to send
its delegates to sit alongside
the PreSident-and that step
hasn't even been discussed
in the Senate, though the
summit" meeting could be
important enough even for
the majority and minority
leaders themselves to attend.

Government is concerned,

Support from an unex-
pected quarter has come for
those who have maintained
that the Supreme Courts
decision on school segrega-
ton was a usurpation of leg
islative power. The person is
none other than the great
liberal jurist, Judge Learned
Hand. who has just COM
pleted delivering the Oliver
Wendell Holmes Lectures at
the Harvard Law School
where he has long been
something Of a patron saint.
Judge Hand did not base
his argument on whether the
Fourteenth Amendment does
or should make school segre-
cation unconstitutional as q
denial of equal rights.
Rather. he holds. the court is
not wise or competent to
make such a decision. It is a
political question that should
be left to a political forum
(CongresS) for resolution.
His position, as unfolded
in his lectures, is that an
arbiter is necessary in a
government of three separate
powers; that we are fortu-
nate that the courts have
assumed this role; but that
it must be exercised within
certain traditions and limits.
In his second lecture he
presented both viewpoints
regarding the courts func-
ton: The one that the court
has the duty Of striking down
a statute If it does not COM
mend itself to the courts
notion Of justice; the other
that the courts job is to
keep Congress and the States
within their accredited au-
thority. He traced the rise
and fall Of both concepts
during the past decades. but
made it clear that the second
view is his own, and that
almost any statute or means
should. in his opinion, be up
held in judicial review so
long as they are within the
legislative power.
He argued that q legiSla-
ture is compelled to make
choices for many individuals
and the means involve intri-
cate compromises. A court
could not invalidate a choice
Of means without putting
itself in the same position
and declaring whether the
legislatures substitute is
what the court would have
coined to meet the occa-
sion =" under which view
the Legislatures power is
limited by the Brightness" of
the adjustments it prescribes.
For the courts to pass on
the merits of legislation (ac-
cording to their own ideas Of
right" and "wrong") is, he
argued, "a patent usurpa-
ton" It makes the Supreme

and franchises. I planned to
expose the octopus-like hold of
big business upon the supposed
ly independent board and COM
missions. I planned to bring to
light the Vaccinations of the
White House clique in control
ling decisions Of these agencies:
Sherman Adams, Gerald Nor
gan, Sinclair Weeks, Col. Cor
don Moore. Thomas E. Dewey
the parts played by all Of these
were to be exposed in public
hearings. a..
And the evidence to be I'M
covered by me was far from
completed. This very morning
Investigators of the subcom-
mittee acting under my direc-
ton were to have left for
Boston to delve into the motor
ious grant of a multi-million-
dollar television channel to a
leading Republican newspaper.
They were going to find out the
facts concerning the relations
between Secretary Of Commerce
Weeks and a leading director
and stakeholder of Pan Ameri-
can World Anyways. These
investigators, however, did not
leave for Boston this morning.
And they will not leave. For
my dismissal has brought this
investigation to a practical end.
"Safe" Hearings
To be sure, the forms will
probably be maintained. The
subcommittee will not cease to
exist. Even its name, 'Legisla-
tive Oversight" probably will
not be changed. Rather. "safe"
lawyers and safe" investiga-
tors will go through the motions
of a safe" investigation. Safe"
hearings will be held and
eventually a safe" report will
be written.
This must not be allowed to
happen. The vested interests,
these regulatory agencies. the
White House clique-all those
who think that they may now
breath a sight of relief-must
soon be made aware that this
is but the beginning. The i'm
portant thing now is to ensure
that the work that I have
begun will be carried on by
others in the Congress. There
are committees which possess
the necessary courage and in
tegrity. I shall do all in my
power to aid them to complete
the job.
I cannot conclude without
