Jimmy's Questions Inspire Thoughts
OF YesteYeor's Domestic Tranquility

Little Jimmy and Hore-
hound dropped by a couple
of days ago TO pay a visit TO
Spot Brown. While the two
pups were romping in the
garden Jimmy asked II I had
ever eaten any Of the candy
for which his dog was named
(by some Of his elders. He
said none Of his friends had
ever heard Of 1t.
I told Jimmy I could UNI
derstand why he was puz-
zled. Horehound candy was
popular way back when"
and even many grownupS
can't remember 1t. I told him
that when I was a kid a
good-sized paper sack Of the
little brown balls could be
purchased for a nickel. They
lasted a long time because a
child could suck on each one
for hours.
Jimmy, a young philoso-
pher at heart, began asking
a lot of questions about those
days Of a few decades back.
Before I knew it I was tell
ing him the meaning of the
Fourth of July. I told him
that the time when little
boys and girls were buying
horehound candy in the cor
ner drugstore one Of the i'm
portant functions of our Gov
eminent, as provided by our
Constitution, was to ENSURE
domestic tranquility" And
that was what we had
then. Our citizenry was COM
posed Of all the same variety
Of folks we have today-Prot-
estants, Jews and Catholics;
whites, Negroes and others
but we all lived together in
domestic tranquility.
Up to that time Benedict
Arnold was the only traitor
in our entire history. Every
school child learned about
him when he was taught the
history Of our revolution.
And Benedict Arnold was
considered the most despic-
able character in the history
book because there was Moth
ing lower than a man who
betrayed his country.
And in those days Of do
nestle tranquility every city.
town and village in America
held a parade on the Fourth
Of July. These parades were
more spectacular than now.
Old Glory flew from every
flagpole and every heart
Swelled with pride. The
mayor or some other i'm
portant dignitary made a
speech reminding the people
Of our illustrious patriots
who courageously signed the
Declaration Of Independence.

President Likely to Favor Candidate
Who Has Supported Administration

adays. especially since presi-
Dental preference primaries
have been introduced in sew
eral States, each national
convention likes to feel that
1t is free and Embossed. Mr..
Eisenhower's remarks will
help to give the impression
that the 1860 Republican
convention is to be Of that
kind.
But when the President
said that ut would be too
much to think that a mans
sentiments and ideas were
completely neutral" he was
doubtless thinking in q very
natural, human way about
the policies Of his own adj
ministration. Could he favor
a candidate who has only a
lukewarm feeling about the
policies of the Eisenhower re-
gime? Wouldn't he naturally
feel closer to the candidate
who has been and is willing
to go down the line in 100
per cent, or almost that high
a percentage, approval of
what the Republican admin
istration has accomplished in
eight years?
In the campaign last year
for the governorship of New
York State, Nelson Rookie
Teller was advised by some Of
his supporters to avoid in
dorsement of the national
administration or any cam
paigning on its record. At
that time such a course was
deemed politically wise.
Since the 1858 elections,
however, there is believed to
have been a change in public
opinion and the national ad-
ministration undoubtedly has
gained in popularity.
Certainly anybody who ex-
poets to get the Republican
presidential nomination in
1860 cannot afford to be luke

warm now about the Eisen-
hover ADMINISTRATORS rec
ord. He must either be
strongly for 1t or risk defeat.
Gov. Rockefeller has not
yet announced whether he
will be a candidate for the
presidential nomination. but
a race between Vice Presi-
dent Nixon and the New
York Governor might ac-
tually benefit the party at
the polls. For 1t would be a
wide-open contest. without
presidential dictation, and,
II Mr.. Nixon finally were
chosen, he would benefit i'm
measurably from the support
that probably would be given
him by Gov. Rockefeller in
the election campaign. Also,
whatever Mr.. Rockefeller did
to help the ticket would build
up his own standing with the
rank and file Of the party
for the future. Thus. II Mr..
Nixon lost in 1860, Mr.. Rookie
Teller could expect in the
1864 contest support from
the Nixon people.
Mr.. Eisenhower Is, of
course, a close friend Of both
Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Rookie
teller. But. while he cannot
say so, 1t is natural for the
President to want to see the
Vice President chosen as the
next nominee, because the
selection would be widely re-
garded as an Endorsement of
his own administration, while
the choice Of someone else
not closely identified with the
Eisenhower policies would be
interpreted by some of the
conservative voters, at least,
as a departure from the Pres
ident'S banner.
For many reasons. there
fore, it is important for the
President to avoid taking any
action publicly or privately
calculated to swing the ma
tional convention toward any
particular candidate.

TOKYO, July 3 (AP).-Red
China'S puppet ruler Of Tibet,
the Panchen Lama, says the
big estates of Tibet's lamaS
will be broken up and the holy
men stripped Of ancient priv
ilegeS.
The announcement came in
a Peiping radio report today Of
a speech made by the Panchen
in LhaSa June %.
But he admitted that the
anti Communist rebels are still
resisting Red Chinese troops.
In an oblique warning to
neighboring India, the Panchen
said that putting down the
revolt and anything else that
takes place in Tibet are
"China's domestic affairs
which definitely stand no for
eign intervention.
India has protested the
Chinese suppression Of the IT,

and Prime Minister Nehru has
said that Tibet should have

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Schism on the High Bench

as these might be in Justice
Frankfurter'S private view.
For Congress and the Legis-
latures, after all, are respon-
sible for making the laws.
The Warren approach gives
much less weight to legisla-
tive intentions. In q basic
way, this approach some
times seems to assume that
court and Congress are
almost hostile forces. And
there is also q tendency
toward an emotionalism,
and thus an impression, in
judgment. So Warren MAORI
ties sometimes will be found
later to have gone a bit
further than they really
meant to go.
Impression in judgment
can mean unclear justice.
And q court that is, or even
seems to be, unclear will
progressively invite the at
tentionS Of those congress
sional forces which are all
too ready to clear up the
courts mind-to their own
way OF thinking.
Thus, there is not only q
great philosophical collision
here; there is also a great per-
Sonal irony. Justice Frank
furter was long regarded by
many conservatives as a
dangerous radical" But
now, in the evening Of his
career, he has become the
strong best hope for a truly
conservative-that is to say a
truly traditional and institu-
tional-SyStem Of justice.
Mr.. Frankfurter is not a
man Of any crowd, or Of any
special theology. He is an
irreplaceable man of an in
stitution and q leader for
institutional justice. 1t is
not impossible that this is
why he has not long since
accepted the retirement he
has earned.

they ran, had placed their
signatures to a declaration
finer and greater than any
document ever written, for

Providence, we utually

In the days of my youth
we looked to the future with
a feeling Of security within
ourselves as we celebrated
the Fourth Of July. We felt
that with diligent work and
under the protection Of
Divine Providence" the sky
was our limit. Looking back
ward we could rely on the
courage Of our patriots to in
spire us and our traditions
to guide us.
In those days, even as now,
our Capital was thronged
with Sight-Seers who stood in
awe at the beauty Of our
magnificent edif1ces. They
could stand before the grand
steps of our Capitol and
imagine the scene when
George Washington laid the
cornerstone. They could rec
ollect the nobility of past
oratory as so many men of
stature took the oath as Pres
ident. They could view the
magnificent stone carvings
depicting scenes from our
history, our justice, our lib
erty and our greatness. And
they could enter the monu-
mental halls and absorb the
culture Of the fine art within.
In those days of domestic
tranquility they could walk
along the avenues and see
our graceful White House
where American tradition
and American history were
made by men of great prin-
ciples and feel secure in the
belief that this was ours for
all time. They could absorb

President Eisenhower may
want to see Vice President
Nixon nominated to succeed
him, but he will never say so.
Careful reading Of the
Presidents remarks at his
Wednesday press conference
reveals that he did not really
take a neutral stand, as has
been widely reported. He did
refuse to be put in the posi-
ton Of debating to the Re-
publican National Conven-
ton as to the procedures"
but this is in keeping with
his concept that Presidents
must not attempt to control
a national convention. Mr..
EiSenhower's exact words
were as follows:
well, I think 1t would be
too much to think that a
mans sentiments and ideas
were completely neutral. I
have said time and again that
the Republican Party, in my
opinion, has brought forward
q group of able, capable men
of vigorous years and that
any could be selected with
honor to himself and to the
party.
But I certainly shall never,
so far as ! am able. indicate
publicly, to anyone, or pri-
vately, the details Of the pro-
cedureS, well, that will bring
about some nominee, because
I don't think 1t is correct or
right"
Mr.. Eisenhower is following
tradition. No President likes
to be accused Of debating
the choice Of his successor,
though President Theodore
Roosevelt did it in 1908, and
the accusation was widely
proclaimed that William
Howard Taft was a hand
picked nominee and that the
convention itself was a
"steamroller" affair. Now

Justice Fronkfurter Seen as HoIdinq
Fast to TRADITIONAL Supreme Court

There is trouble in the
Hottest place in the United
States Government, the Su-
preme Court. It would be ir-
responsible to exaggerate this
condition, but its sharpening
reality can no longer be de-
MED.
This is not a personal
"row" and it is not a disor-
derby dispute. But 1t has deep
significance to every Ameri-
can.
Differences on the meaning
here and there of the ConSti-
tuition have been part of the
courts history; there is Moth
ing new in that. But what is
now at hand is something
quite different and quite
grave. For the division now
involved could lead at last to
success for the long efforts of
some in Congress to curb the
courts power and mission.
The nine justices have gone
of to a summer vacation aft
er q term Of many split deci-
Sions. Now is the least deli
cate time to speak openly Of
the unpleasant truth that in
an important sense the court
Is in disarray.
The court is now divided
on nothing less than the
whole vast question as to
what the court really iS-and
is not. There are two views,
one conservative" and one
liberal" as to what its role
in our national life should be.
The Servatives are
headed by 76-year-old JUS

Frol Kozlov, the big Rus
sian with the boom boom
voice, has come and gone at
the White House and left no
messages Of cheer.
1t had been thought that
the high-ranking member Of
the Soviet government who
was sent over to open his
nations fair in New York
might also be bearing some
word Of hope which would
relieve the deadlock in the
Geneva negotiations. Such
was not the case.
President Eisenhower, who
had openly enjoyed his tour
of the Soviet exhibits in New
York escorted by the ebul-
lent Mr.. Kozlov, spent 80
minutes talking to the Soviet
emisSary at the White House.
Any hopefulness promptly
vanished when Mr.. KoZlov
merely repeated thu line
taken at Geneva by Foreign
Minister Gromyko. Obviously
he came with no warrant to
make a deal or even hint at
one.
