Under subpoena Of Circuit
Court Judge Walter p. Jones, Mr..
Wilkins has been or erred TO
bring to the court ali records O
the Association with le-pevt to
its operations in Alabama since
June l, 1857. The court order

plant filed on April by State
Attorney General John Pattef-
son then in the midst of his cam
paign for election as governor o.
the state.
The complaint alleges that the

The Cherished Hues Of Summer

Our purpose viii BE- to Gre

our first problem Is to choose
q container which win pro-
vide room for all the stems
and also hold an ample
amount Of water to maintain
freshness in this hot weather.
Emphssizs One Color
II we choose one which has
q specific color, then let US
be smart and emphasis this
color somewhat when we are
selecting the flowers. Thus,
we can easily establish q fav-
orable tie-in between the con-
tainer and the flowers which
brings about good harmony.
Summer flowers come in all
colors. and we should use
polychromatic hues to reflect
the season. We shall use what
most gardens offer at this,
time and that usually is the
well known zinnias, petunias,
marigolds, ageratum. achilleas

The Law IS q ASS

Nov, while do not agree with the
Supreme Court decision Tin the Mallory
case) there is nothing can do about
It," said Judge Curran.
So he released the prisoner The
prisoner had been picked up by the police
in their search for brutal, vicious
mugger. His injured victims only recol-
lection was of the clothes worn by his
asSailant. A man wearing such clothes
was picked up for questioning. Within
few minutes after the questioning began,
he confessed. Under the judges interro-
cation, the policeman admitted that in
talking to the prisoner he hoped he
might obtain confession. And the
law-aS now interpreted in Mallory-set
him free.
eff the law supposes that, the law
is a ASA idiot" remarked Dickens Mr..
Bundle. More and more people, includ-
Ing distinguished laymen and lawyers,
are agreeing with Mr.. Bundle. And we
looking into the Mallory decision would
sit down with the prosecutors and some
of Washingtop's higher police officers
and talk to them-even off the record
not about the confusing rhetoric of
the Mallory decision, but about what
the police are supposed to do under its
interpretations. The anarchy on Wash
ington's streets is dreadful As events
will continue to demonstrate, the law
enforcement machinery is being ham,
pered to degree that we do not believe
is generally understood.
AS the days grow longer, there may
be some seasonal decrease in the num-
Der of after-dark purse SnatchihgS and
yokings. But we find no comfort in the
slight decrease in such crimes in jan
uary, as compared with the same period
a year ago. For the trend in the past
six months is headed the other way.
More policemen on the streets may help.
More publicity, centering on this dis
graceful and outrageous field of crime,
may also help. But as any investigation
would reveal-and we don't think it wise
to particularize here-the very nature of
such crimes has made the Mallory de-
ciSion boon to the street bandits.
A citizen who steps into an open
manhole often has a good chance Of
compensation for his injuries by suing
the District of Columbia. AS things are
working out, the citizen who is set upon,
brutally beaten and robbed on the streets
of Washington, is without recourse. The
law is of chief protection to his aSSailant.

Because the Court of Customs and
Patent Appeals administers justice in
a highly specialized field, the American
Patent Law Association has logic on its
side in urging that appointments to that
court should be based on special fitness
for the work. And there is logic in the
associations request to Attorney Gen.
eral Rogers that a qualified patent
lawyer be selected to fill the present
vacancy on the court.
President Eisenhower followed this
good principle when, in his first appoint
ment to the patent tribunal, he named
New York patent attorney, Giles S.
Rich, more than. year ago. The APP
pointment was hailed by the Patent
Law Association as welcome break
from the practice of choosing the courts
judges more for political reasons than
for their qualifications to handle the
difficult patent cases. Attorney General
Rogers has shown an interest in con-
sidering carefully the recommendations
of such professional organizations as bar
associations and the Patent Law .AsSo-
citation in selecting judges for the Fed
eral courts This practice should be
adhered to in making the important
appointment to the vacancy on the
Court of Customs and Patent Appeals.

Legislative Dilemma

The Maryland General Assembly to-
day faces major dilemma as it begins
its 30-day deliberations on fiscal and
emergency problems of the State. The
Legislature must undertake the unpop-
ular task of raising taxes by a substan-
tial margin-or cutting the budget so
drastically as to incur the wrath Of
constituents demanding more and better
services and facilities. Either course will
have political repercussions for those
responsible.
Governor McKeldin has proposed to
the legislators record budget calling
for $183 million expenditures from the

Double Vision

IL is widely understood in American
politics that the two major parties can
look at the same view but see quite diff
1erent pictures. Not surprisingly, this
rather benign form of double vision be-
comes more acute in an election year
a phenomenon that was clearly notice.
able In Washington during the past
week end. The Republican National
Committee, for example, was buoyed by
assurance from President Eisenhower
that the party'S cause is a good" one,
It's record OF past achievement proud"
one and its program for the future a
"lively, thorough, well-balanced" one.
The Democratic Advisory Council, pre-
sumably looking at the same evidence,
saw in it only "stubbornly pursued" pol
icies of failure and "defeatist doctrine"
attributed to Herbert Hoover-a favorite
Democratic target for the past 80 years.
The next nine months will, of course.
bring numerous refinements in these
broad concepts of political defense and
attack. But, given no major change in
the international situation, it is apparent
that the state of the domestic economy
offers the most likely and lively issue for
the congressional campaign. It has be-
come so because there is an unqueStioned
downturn in business activity, accom-.
panied by unemployment that even adj
ministration spokesman estimate may
reach As million next month. In the
administration view, the economy is
catching its breath for new advance"
and conditions do not justify "panicky
governmental Intervention on massive
SCALE" In the opposition view, there
never was time when there were so
many urgent tasks" calling for action
instead of governmental retreat from
responsibility.
Only time and the course Of events
will show which Of these views is closer
to reality. Business activity historically
moves in cycles, and there is no magic
formula, political or otherwise, for keep
ing the lines Of the economic graph NOV
ing constantly upward. Actually, gov
ernmental Intervention is built into our
economic system today through mon
etary controls and social benefits from
which no administration can retreat.
The timing and the extent to which
greater Intervention may be advisable
are valid subjects for political debate.
In November, the voters will decide
which party has displayed the clearer
vision.
