DORIS FLEEsON

The Eisenhower admins
tration has felt compelled to
answer the. critics Of its
defense policy. This is the
significance of the nine-point
speech made in the Senate by
the senior Senator from
Massachusetts,, Mr.. Salton-
stall.
Senator Saltonstall is both
chairman of the Republican
Conference and the ranking
active Republican on the
Armed Services Committee.
Top officials at the Pentagon
co-operated in the prepara-
ton of his remarks and were
under White House notice to
give him as much informa-
ton as they possibly could.
consistent with security.
The speech therefore con-
Jains much more in the way
of figures and solid fact than
has been customary around
here. 1t Is a serious effort
to meet the charge that this
country is being outpaced
in the missile field by the
Soviet Union and not an
invitation to slumber, though
it does contain one Madison
Avenue touch-an attack on
psyche surrender" what
ever that is.
1t had the further advan-
tage that Senator Saltonstall
is an honest man, not given
to cheaply partisan attitudes.
The Democratic critics of
what is not being done gave

The rule of law is in dan
ger In Little Rock, but the
rule of reason is in danger in
the natio1al political COM
munity.
Not often has the country
seen a time when temperate
word and action was more
needed. Not recently have all
men holding any response
bility had a greater duty to
have done with the knee
Jerk reactions Of emotional
ism.
These are the conclusions
Of some of the most elevated
people in Washington in both
parties. These people are not
panicky; but they are very
worried.
The harsh complications of
the racial issue have for the
first time produced the most
perilous Of all situations to
common sense. For the FIRST
time, the two extremes are
meetine-not by intention but
in effect.
Orval Fauhus in Arkansas
has declared the Supreme
Courts school indignation de-
ciSion to be "unconstitution-
al" He has thus, as Governor
of a single State, asserted an
interpretive power over the
Federal Constitution which
that Constitution itself has
given only to the court.
Senator Paul H. Douglas
Of Illinois, q civil rights lead
er. has attempted to have the
United States Senate express
its full support and ap-
prevail" Of the courts deci-

consciously override a more
dispassionate consideration OF
what is or is not constitution
ally warranted. :.
1T is our earnest hope
which we respectfully ex-
press, that that great court
exercise to the full its power
of judicial self-restraint by
adhering firmly to its ire
mendouS, strictly judicial
powers and by eschewing, so
far as possible, the exercise
of essentially legislative pow
ers when 1t is called upon to
decide questions involving the
validity of State action,
whether it deems such action
wise or unwise."
The ten justices declare,
moreover, that at times the
Supreme Court justices seem
to manifest an impotence
with the slow workings of our
Federal system" and an I'M
willingness to wait for Con-
gress Ito make clear its in
tention to exercise the powers
conferred upon it by the Con-
stitution."
The report says also that
the Supreme Court seems to
be impatient with the "slow
processes Of amending the
Constitution which that in
strument provides" and that
1t should be adhering to "the
limitations of judicial power"
instead of merely giving eff
feet to what it may deem de-
Sirable."
This is a scathing rebuke
of the present Supreme
Court, though the criticism
does go back in some IN
stances to previous personnel
as well. There can be no
doubt that many men of the
highest judicial experience
in America have begun to
question whether the atti-
tude of the present court
isn't really legislative in
stead Of judicial.

unmatched deterrent punch.
In speeches from the floor of
Congress, however. reputable
and recognized informed po-
litical figures allow that the
lag is such that within the
next few years this country
will not be able to catch UP
with its foes.
These views are not shared
by the professional military
men in the Pentagon or in
com m a md of our forces
across the seven seas. They
do not deny that the Reds
have made enormous prog
ress in military technology
and in some fields are ahead
of us. But they deny en-
phatically that we are rap
idly becoming militarily i'm
potent and that our only SAL
walton is appeasement.
There is no question that
the Russians are ahead Of US
in some military fields, as
we are ahead Of them in
others. But an appraisal of
the fighting capabilities of
nations is not based ex-
cluSively on equality or

him a respectful hearing and
honored him with sober de-
bate.
His main point was that the
critics were basing their con-
illusions on estimates of Rus
sian efforts as compared with
our own when actually they
were merely estimates and not
hard, certain evidence. We
might, he said, be behind in
some areas but they were not
those on which we were put

A fair comparison, he con-
tended, must take into &C
count what this Nation can
mass-produce once it has de-
cided to concentrate on a
particular missile.
Senator Henry jackson OF
Washington made the most
telling answer. The admins

record of Understanding
Russia in four vital fields: A
and H bomb production, sub
marine strength and the in

sion. This is only the other
side of the Faubus coin.
Gov. Faubus was plac-
ing himself above the Su-
preme Court of the United
States. Senator Douglas, in
his later-withdrawn move to
defend" that court, was
hardly less thoroughly attack
ing its integrity. Some of his
liberal colleagues, notably
Senator Richard l.. Neuberger
of Oregon, tried in vain at
the beginning so to persuade
him.
For If the Senate has the
right to approve" or in
effect to ratify, specific de-
cision Of the court, it has an
obvious right also to "disap-
prove" one.
This is perhaps most Of all
why President Eisenhower
himself has persistently re-
sisted all efforts to force him
not merely to promise to en-
force the courts decree but
to approve" it.
In this, whatever his failures
of leadership elsewhere on the
racial issue, the President is
standing upon what some
here see as the only possible
constitutional ground. He is
refusing to raise the smallest
suggestion that it Is his bust
ness either to approve or dis
approve. 1t is his business
only to enforce.
These are not merely the
views of those often dismissed
in the prevailing climate as
mere "moderates." These are
also the views Of some Of the

I'VE find next that divi-

occasions, a majority of the
court cannot be mustered in
support of any one opinion
and that the result Of a given
case may come from the
divergent views of individual
justices who happen to unite
on one outcome or the other
Of the case before the court.
-. It seems strange that,
under a constitutional doc
trine which requires all

The Chle1 justices OF the
highest court in each Of nine
Statesmen Of them in the
North-have just issued the
most penetrating criticism Of
the decisions Of the Supreme
Court of the United States
that has emanated from any
source in recent years. They
were joined by one associate
justice.
Coming as it does at the
very time when the Senate
and the House here have been
debating whether to pass laws
to restrict the jurisdiction Of
the Supreme Court and in
some instances to reverse
some of the points on which
the court has enormously in
terpreted the intent Of Con-
gress, the wording Of the
document is Of more than
passing interest.
The report of the Com
mittee on State-Federal Re-
lationships was made public
at Pasadena, California,
where the annual meetings
Of the Conference Of Chief
Justices and Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association are being
held. The chief justices Of
Massachusetts,. New York
State, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Oregon, Minnesota and Mary
land can hardly be charged
with a Southern bias"
Indeed, the report of the chief
justices did not mention the
Segregation" issue at all but
dealt solely with the abuse Of
the rights of the States by
the Supreme Court Of the
United States. The docu-
ment says in part:
I'VE are now concerned
specifically with the effect Of
judicial decisions upon the
relations between the Fed
eral Government and the
State governments. Here we
think that the overall tend
ency of decisions Of the Su-
preme Court over the last Is
years or more has been to
press the extension of Fed
eral power and to press it
rapidly.
There have been. Of
course, and still are very con-
siderable differences within
the court on these matters,
and there has been quite re-
Gently a growing recognition
Of the fact that our Govern
ment Is still a Federal Gov
eminent and that the historic
line which experience seems
to justify between matters
primarily Of national concern
and matters primarily of To-
cal concern should not be
hastily or lightly obliterated,
A number of justices have
repeatedly demonstrated their
awareness of problems Of
federalism and their recogni-
ton that federalism is still a
living part of our system of
government. -.
I'VE believe that, in the
fields with which we are
concerned and as to which we
feel entitled to speak, the
Supreme Court too often has
tended to adopt the role Of
policy maker without proper
judicial restraint. We feel
this is particularly the case in
both of the great fields We
have discusSed-namely, the
extent and extension Of the
Federal power, and the
supervision of State action by
the Supreme Court by virtue
of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. In the light of the i'm
