But nine months and two
Premiers after Mr.. Duplessis'
death the voters Of Quebec swept
the old regime out of office-and
with it the archaicly conservative
and provincial tenets of the old
chief.
The new Liberal Party Premier
Jean LeSage, made his first ap-
pearance in Ottawa when he at
tended a federal-provincial taxa
tion conference last week. At
that time. speaking in French to
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker
and the Premiers of the other nine
provinces. Mr.. Lesage described
the inability to amend the consti-
tuition in Canada as an important
restriction on federal and provin-
cial sovereignty.
He proposed that the provinces
and the federal government pro-
ceed to devise a mutually agreed
upon method of amending in
Canada those sections Of the con-
stitution having joint application
to the two levels of government.
The Quebec Premier further pro-
posed that a special constitutional
tribunal be established, deriving
its authority from both federal and
provincial governments, to arbi-
trate conflicts over constitutional
Jurisdiction.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker,
dumbfounded and delighted by
this development. quickly took up
Mr.. Lesage's challenge. He would,
he said. call constitutional con-
ference to meet this fall.

Would Drop Primaries
In 1857 committee Of the

general election ballot automat-
ically and that any other candi-

of the lawyers residing in the ju-

headed by Clarence Miles Of Bal

special commissions composed Of
lawyers and laymen be set up in
each of the judicial districts to
nominate candidates for guberna-

Although the State bar declined
to go along with the entire re-
port. it did adopt resolution urg-

eliminated. The Baltimore City

Most people these days hardly

they have to, without going out
and looking for more. But Eu-
gene r. Black, president Of the
World Bank, a man with pro-
digious amount to read every day.
spends his evenings studying
Shakespeare.
When was the last time you
read a play of Shakespeare?
Mr.. Black has read all the plays
over and over. What's more, he
recently has been spending sum-
mer vacations as a student at a
Yale Shakespeare seminar and last
year he went all the way to Eng
land to hear a week of discussions
Of Shakespeare. He carries Shake
speare with him wherever he goes.
OF course Mr.. Black is a fast
reader. If he weren't so fast. he
might still be reading Victorian
novels. But he ran out of them
some years ago.
The banker, who from his tenth
floor Office in the International
Bank for Reconstruction and De-
velopment, 1918 H street NV,
controls billions Of dollars in
loans to countries all over the
world. has a knsck Of using very
few words and saying a great

Maryland Does Soul Searching
On Question Of EIecting Judges

pass on judgeships just as they do
on congressional seats, governor
ships, State legislative posts and
many governmental Offices.
On the other hand is the feel
ing that politics degradeS the
judiciary, and that, anyway. the
average voter cannot adequately
assess a mans qualifications for
a post that requires extensive
legal knowledge, personal in
tegrity, and a judicial" tempera-
ment.
Arthur T. Vanderbilt, chief
justice of the Supreme Court of
New Jersey, writing Of judicial
reforms in his State few years
ago, pointed out that the "popu-
lar election Of judges is unknown
anywhere in the world outside of
several of the American States
and in Soviet Russia and its
satellites"
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith Of
New York once wrote that the
elective system "in the long run
means the selection of judges by
the political leaders and the rati-
fication Of their selection by an
electorate who are not really in
a position to pass upon the legal
and other abilities Of the indi-
vidual."
Cont RecoII Names
And the head Of the New York
City Bar Association said during
a court reform movement in that
State four years ago that surveys
showed the voters could not recall
even the names of the judgship
candidates a few days after
election.
Barnabas F. Sears, former
president Of the Illinois Bar As
sociation, said at a Chicago meet
ing last year that the political
election Of judges in over 36
States is our nearest kinship to
Russia =. such selection saps the
foundation of public and private
confidence in courts, engenders a
spirit Of injustice and breeds uni
verSal diStrust."
One procedure which has won
the praise Of many legal experts
is the Missouri plan adopted in
1910. The Governor there fills a
vacancy from list Of three names
submitted by a non-partisan COM
mission of laymen and lawyers.
After a year on the bench the
voters approve or reject the ap-
pointee in an election in which
they can vote only "yes" or mo"
on whether to retain him for a
full term. Judges are prohibited
from political activity.
Harry Gershenson, former pres
ident of the Missouri Bar Associ-
alton, wrote three months ago in
the American Bar Association
Journal. that "over the years it
has been learned there can be no
partiSanship in the administra-
ton of justice, and there GER
tainly should be none in the Sc
lection of judges who administer
justice"

Maryland voters have again ex-
ercised their right to pass on the
qualifications Of candidates for
judicial Office after a political
campaign.
And again the question has
been raised on the propriety of
requiring a judge to shed his
robes and participate in a politi-
cal campaign to hold his job.
Federal judges don't have to;
they are appointed. But in 38
Of the so States-including Mary
iand-judges of the State trial
courts still are selected by popu-
lar vote. Virginia judges are elect
ed by the State Legislature. usu-
ally after an interim appointment
by the Governor.
In nearby Montgomery County
the May Circuit Court judgeship
primary turned into somewhat
unjudicial-appearing free-for-all.
Incumbent Ralph G. Shure, serv-
ing on an interim gubernatorial
appointment, was victorious, but
only after a tough battle.
The Political Domoee
The cost to the six Montgomery
candidates and their campaign
contributors ran into many thou
sands of dollars. Party factions
lined up for one or the other.
Lawyers who practice daily in
the courts had to choose sides.
The incumbent had to squeeze in
campaigning with his official
duties. Some issues which had no
relationship to the qualifications
Of the candidates for Office were
Saised. Toward the end, an at
tempt was made to inject religious
issues into the campaign.
Maryland tried to take some
of the politics out of judgeship
elections several years ago by al
lowing the candidates to cross
file in both the Democratic and
Republican elections. Most of
them take advantage of this pro-
vision. and because of it Mont
gomery County will not see a
return engagement Of the judge
ship campaign this fall. Judge
Shure won in both primaries and
will be unopposed in November.
But in Baltimore County where
three judgeships are at stake
there is a different story. In the
May II primaries, the three in
.cumbents each polled three times
as many total votes Democratic
and Republican, as any of their
challengers. But because two
challengers managed to edge two
Of the incumbents in a lightly
attended Republican primary. the
sitting judges must face opposi-
ton again in November from two
candidates they opposed in the
spring.
There has been considerable
agitation over the years to abol-
ish judicial primaries in Mary
land, but little for complete elm
ination of popular elections.
