Chief Judge Parker

The career Of Chief Judge John J.
Parker, dead after heart attack here,
should teach a never-to- forgotten
lesson respecting the frailty of con-
temporary judgments.
Back in the spring of 1880 the
Senate, dividing Al to 80, rejected the
nomination of Judge Parker to place
on the Supreme Court. The Senate's
"liberals" -including such men as Borah,
La Toilette, Norris, Barley and Black
banded together against Judge Parker
because he was alleged to be anti-labor
and anti-Negro. The Senate Judiciary
Committee listened to testimony against
the nomination from witnesses repre-
senting organized labor and the NAACP.
Then it voted 10 to to refuse to permit
Judge Parker to testify in his own be-
half. All in all, it was sorry perform
ance and a shameful miscarriage Of
justice.
Judge Parker lived to confound his
liberal" critics, however, and some Of
them stated publicly that they regretted
having voted against him. The anti
labor charge was based on an opinion he
wrote for the Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals upholding the so-called yellow
dog" contractS-contracts under which
coal miners agreed not to join the
United Mine Workers If given jobs. His
defenders of that day said he was merely
following the rules laid down by the
Supreme Court, and it is fact that the
court, then including such men as
Brandeis and Holmes, refused to review
the decision. This had the effect Of up
holding it. The anti-Negro charge was
equally fiimsy and destined, in time, to
be refuted by Judge Parker'S firm adher-
ence to the Supreme Courts ruling in
the school cases. But the Senate of 1880
was in no mood to listen-not even when
the late Carter Glass, up for reelection,
took the floor and said: Situated as
am, it would be easier to vote against
Judge Parker than to vote for him. But
have tried in vain to find some reason
to vote against him which would satisfy
my conscience"
Time has been much kinder to this
truly liberal jurist than was the con-
temporary judgment. The American Bar
Association few years ago awarded
him its gold medal for conspicuous
service to American jurisprudence.
This, we think, gives the true measure
of the man.

For Hungry Children

Success of the free school lunch
program for elementary school children
in Southwest Washington, sponsored by
the Barney Neighborhood House, justi-
fes the proposed extension of the pri-
vately financed program to undernour-
ished grade school children in blighted
Northwest areas. The Board of Educa-
ton tentatively has approved the North
west Settlement Houses plan for such
lunchtime feeding at two schools in the
second precinct.
The Barney experiment in the
Southwest has involved the daily serv-
ing of lunches to 200 underprivileged
children in the section earmarked for
slum clearance and redevelopment. This
is voluntary undertaking approved by
the Board of Education earlier In the
school term. However, private funds are
running out and more must be raised
promptly II the program is to be con-
tinued through the remainder Of the
school year. The Jayncees, women's
auxiliary of the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce, is aiding Barney ofilcials in
a campaign to raise additional money.
The effort is worthy Of general public
support.

Matter of Record
Pauline Friedland.

I enjoy and admire your
newspaper but must protest
an article by Doris Fleeson
which appeared in your
March IL issue.
Regarding appointments to
the FEC, Miss Fleeson said
". the gregarious Richard
Mack of Florida, was an Eli
senhower Democrat. Mr.. Cross
is just a Democrat. Mr.. Mack
got the job. :"
It is a matter Of record
that during the hearings by
the Committee on Legisla-
tive Oversight the Honorable
John Bell Williams, Missis-
sippi Democrat, asked Mr..
Mack if he had supported
Mr.. Eisenhower to which Mr..
Mack replied in the negative.
At this time there is con-
siderable pressure for greater
revelation of governmental
facts to the press. / agree
that the public has a right
to the facts. I also agree
that the press along with
other media is the most eff
f1cient method of giving facts
to the public. However. the
press has an obligation to
tell a complete story.

Route 240 Protested

AS a resident of that por-
ton of Macarthur boulevard
where the Route 240 may
cut through, I wish to reg
lister my protest. Not only
will more than 100 families
lose their homes and have
to buy other houses. but
apartment jewellers like my
self will also be put to a lot
of expense and inconvenience.
1t is very difficult to find
apartments anywhere in the
city at any price where there
are SO many gardens and
trees as in the Macarthur
boulevard area. The owners
of the homes to be con-
demned will never get proper
value. This new road would
despoil a very beautiful Sec
ton OF the city. There isn't
a pleasanter bus drive than
the D-4, nor a lovelier land
scape than the Cabin John
car overlooks. The transit
company would be forced to
provide some kind of trans
portation for those travellers
who use the Cabin John car
exclusively.
1 hope the Commissioners
will decide on some route
that will bypass the city al
together.

Very Well Organized

The Outlines hard-preSSed political
candidates of the Western world may
have felt an understandable tinge of
envy when reading of the campaign and
the returns recorded in the nationwide
elections in the Soviet Union. For this
was a campaign that required no barn
storming, no handshaking and no baby
kissing. 1t was not necessary to view
with alarm or to straddle any issues.
There was only one candidate, chosen
by higher authority, for each place
in the 1,378-member Supreme Soviet.
Every candidate was sure of victory and,
in fact, every voter was sure Of being
on the winning side. Indeed, If anybody
had cause to worry it was only the
relatively few voters who failed to show
up at the polls. Their absence may turn
out to be permanent.
In due time, presumably, the Soviet
government will point out that this was
a flawless exercise in democracy at work,
that the elected legislators represent all
walks in life and that perhaps no more
than half Of them are members of the
Communist Party. There is, however,
no OC1SE party anu Tie uOHpaICy ucp-
uties chosen from the farms, the fac
tories and the ranks of professional
people win have no trouble recognizing
the boundaries of their legislative re-
sponsibility when they are seated in
Moscow.
There is a temptation, perhaps, to
wonder what the mass of Russian people
really think of all this and even to
speculate somewhat hopefully that they
may recognize it as something of a
political shell game. Actually, however,
Russia has had no democratic tradition
either during or before Communist
control-or even the basis for under
standing one. A spokesman for the
three-man American team that has
been observing the elections called them
Every well organized" 1t is quite likely
that the voters themselves would con-
slider this a sincerely fiattering COM
mentary on the ef1ciency of the political
system in Mother Russia.

Fears FoHout

IF all other nations. in
Guiding Russia, agree to stop
making any more tests with
nuclear weapons and H
bombs, should the United
States agree to stop or not?"
This question has been asked
several times by national
opinion polls. and a rapidly
increasing number Of us an
swered "yeS" to it as we be-
came more aware of the dan
gers. In the last poll the
figures were: Yes, So per
cent: no, q per cent; no
opinion, 10 per cent.
These nuclear explosions
produce, among other atomic
debris, strontium-90 and
blast it high into the strato-
sphere to sift down all over
the world throughout the
course of years. A certain
amount of strontium gets
into our bones. Adults are
not SO much threatened. as
their bones require only a
little replenishing; but our
small children may as a re-
suit of it become victims Of
leukemia or in 80 or 40
years develop bone-cancer.
Data obtained from au-
topsy samples of human bone
is given in the February
1858 issue of Science. the
publication of the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science. According
to 1t, the amount Of stron-
tium-90 per gram Of calcium
in the bones Of young Amer
lean children has. more than
doubled in the last three
years and is 10 times that
found in the bones of adults.
The estimate is made that
even If there are no further
tests made, this increase will
continue because of particles
descending from the Strato-
sphere until the. amount Of
strontium-90 in our chill
dren's bones will be four
times what it is now-and of
course it will be much
greater If more tests are
made.
We co-operated with Russia
to defeat Hitler. 1t is to our
mutual advantage to Coop
crate when faced with a
greater threat.

The Gamblers Lost

Maryland's General Assembly
showed commendable courage and re-
spect for public opinion in delivering
simultaneous legislative blows at power
full gambling interests in the State. The
ban on jai alai and on Potomac River
slot-machine operations will cost some
of the counties stable chunk of reve-
nue.. But there were persuasive reasons
for the MISUNDERSTANDING in the
case of the river casinos, the promotion
of good interstate relations.
The anti-jai alai law is of State
wide application, but is aimed particu-
larly at plans for big pari-mutuel ven-
ture in Anne Arundel County near Fort
Meade. The county commissioners al
ready had approved the proposal.
Church leaders and civic interests had
protested the plan vigorously, however.
They carried their fight to the Legis-
lature. and won handily in the closing
hours of the session.
The ban on Potomac River gambling
operations was urged by Governor Nc
Keldin in response to protests from
State and county authorities in Virginia
over the presence close to the Virginia
shore Of slot-machine joints licensed in
Maryland Gambling machines are IL
legal in Virginia. The new legislation
outlaws such machines on six piers ex-
tending from the Virginia shore but held
by the courts to be within Maryland
Jurisdiction. It also outlaws a gambling
casino aboard an anchored ship at Free
