Progress OF Amelia Agriculture
Viewed By Visiting Bankers

AMELIA, Oct. 5-TWO officers
of the Wachovia Bank and Trust
Company of WinSton-Salem, N.
c., were in Amelia last week for
a day and a night to study the
work of the Union Bank and
Trust Company with the farmers
of Amelia county, and the results
of that work.
This north Carolina bank is the
largest bank in the South, es-
pecially well equipped to work
with the country banker in pro-
noting a better and more pros
porous agriculture.
The visiting bankers expressed
a desire to see certain type and
size farms in the county in their
short visit. They were shown a
small dairy farm-a family oper-
alton. another one which has ex-
banded rapidly through wise
management, one of the largest
in the county, and one beef cattle
farm, by j. Gordon Dickerson,
executive vice president of the
local bank. These were the type
farms they asked to see. Dicker-
son said that due to limited time
he could not take them to all of
the farms as he would have
liked.
These men said the Amelia
bank has an enviable record of
achievement in promoting better
agriculture in the county and
this, they said, means better
business for all" While the local
bank has had a broad experience
in agriculture. the visiting bank
ers expressed themselves as hav-
ing been surprised at the wonder
full progress Amelia county has
made in recent years.
The North Carolina bank Off
GERS have conducted tours to
Texas. taking $50 bankers and
agricultural workers with them
Last year similar tour was
made to California to study its
agriculture. Other tours have
also been made. all in the inter
est of better agriculture.
The point was stressed by
Dickerson that no one man OF
organization can do the job
any progressive farm porgran
needs the cooperation of the
farmer, professional workers, the
banker. and all others interested
in agriculture He went on to say
that the local bank had had won

aimed apparently at a more adult
audience.
With millions of Americans
writing in for publications, the
Government Book Store learned
long ago that any kind of pub
licity about its products brings
swift reaction.
Last year, when a Congressional
row developed over some instruc-
tions in an Air Force manual that
told, among other things, how to
wash an officers dog, the book
store braced for the flood.
Gentlemen: I'd like a copy Of
your book on washing officers
dogs" the letters read. They
poured in day after day, some
abusing the bookstore, some de-
manding action.
Anything highly critical Of a
Government publication can cat
apult it overnight into best

AS it turned out, the Air Force
manual was aimed at airnen

came to Washington-currentlY
202 pounds for his 6-feet-l height
Here's his daily routine:
He wakes about 7 am. He al
ways sets the alarm but usually
wakes ahead Of it. He works for
an hour and a half to two hours
before breakfast-the kind Of work
he can do in bed, reading and
studying.
He gets up a little before 9 am.
and spends 10 minutes on setting
up and stretching exercises. Then,
he's ready for a light breakfast.
He usually walks downtown with
Justice Tom Clark. The conversa-
ton deals generally with current
events rather than court business.
The justices stride down Connect
icut avenue from the Sheraton
Park Hotel, where the Chief JUS
tice lives, to Seventeenth street
and Constitution avenue. There,
the Warren chauffeur picks them
up and drives them on to the
court.
The Chief Justice usually stays
at the court until 6:15 pm, find

at that time and avoid traffic

He and Mrs. Warren have din
ner in their apartment and two
or three nights a week look at
television. Usually, he gets in an
other hour and a half OF work or
reading akin to his work before
going to bed at 1880 pm.
The Chief Justice also works
every Saturday, going over corre-
spondence. reading reports on the
Judicial Conference and debating
to his secretary.

On Saturday afternoons, he
takes his law clerks to lunch, often
at the University Club. If there's

CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN AT 20
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG
Star star WrtteF

The silver-haired Chief Justice
of the United States celebrates his
10th birthday today.
For Earl Warren, self-mads son
Of Norwegian-born railway car
inspector, it will be q day like
any other Sunday-a day Of morn
ing rest, afternoon walk, visiting
with friends. an early bedtime.
Other men might think Of 70
as a turning point, but not the
Chief Justice. He says he has given
no thought to the possibility Of
retiring in 1868, when he will
have completed 10 years on the
Supreme Court and be eligible for
retirement at full pay.
His intention to stay on the Job
will be greeted with mixed feel
ings. In the years Of his steward
ship as chief justice, the court has
been under steady barTage Of
criticism. Much Of the attack has
been against him personally since
he wrote the 1854 school desegre-
CATION decision and subsequent
controversial opinions.
Although his political fortunes
thrived in California on his easy
ability to win friends, In Washing
ton he has scrupulouSly avoided
any public discussion in defense
of the courts positions. He refuses
to discuss court business with any
member Of the presS-not because
he wants to stand aloof but be-
cause he feels he couldn't do it
without involving the court and
himself in discussions which
wouldn't help the court.
When he came TO the court, he
termed his brand Of liberalism
progressive conservatism" He
has been called . socialist" and
identified with the liberal wing Of
the court. A colleague, shying
away from labels, said the chief
justice approaches his work with
basic humanity" and deep con-
Germ for the "predicament Of hu-
man beings"
Philosophy Of the Court
He stated his own goals in his
farewell address to Californians
when he called the Supreme Court
the interpreter and the defender
Of the Constitution" If through
the years the courts work Is well
done, he said, "the home Of every
American will always be his castle
every human life will have dig
nifty and there will forever be one
law for all men"
To achieve his goal and keep
the courts business running
smoothly, he works long hours
but not as long as he did when
he was three-time Governor Of
California.
tits hard life to be in politics
for a quarter Of a century" he
commented recently. II now won
der how I got through some Of
those years. I'd work until 4:30
pm, then fly to Los Angeles
for night meeting. I'd get home
at 3 am. and do the same thing
the next day.
In less than o week, his whole
life changed. President Eisen-
hover called him on Q Tuesday
night and asked him If he could
go on the bench the following
Monday for the opening Of the
term. He worked day and night
but he reached Washington on
Sunday night and went on the
bench Neutrality-suspicious. 5, 1858.
Adjusting to q New Routine
He admits he found It difficult
at first to live as sedentary a life
as he now faced. His solution was
exercise. He takes some pride in
the fact that he weighs almost ex-

dreds of times, he still has the
ability to say it with meaning and
warmth, conveying the impression
to the newly admitted lawyers
that they are being personally
welcomed.
On the bench, whether or not
he takes part in the questioning,
he always makes a point Of ex-
pressing the gratitude of the court
to the court-appointed attorneys
who appear without compensation.
When he does that. he always
thanks the opposing attorneys,
too.
This thoughtfulness and con-
Sideration is gratefully recalled by
one Of his younger colleagues. The
Chief Justice had his secretary
call the new appointee to find
out when he was coming to Wash
ington. The secretary explained
that the Chief Justice would like
to send his car and chauffeur to
meet the new justice and his fam
lily. The offer was declined with
thanks because the train was due
to arrive so early in the morning.
When the sleepy-eyed family
tumbled off the train at 6:45 am.
on gray october morning, Chief
Justice Warren was there to greet
the newcomers and welcome them
to Washington.
Consideration for Others
His consideration for others has
long been a hallmark Of his per-
Sonality and one Of the secrets Of
his longtime political success.
His efficiency as an administrator
also dates back to his years as
governor and, before that, attor-
ney general Of his state.
But court observers have found
some Of his attitudes puzzlins in
view Of his past. Early in his
career in public life, he attracted
statewide recognition as the
racket-busting District Attorney
Of Alameda county.
None of his convictions during
13 years as prosecutor was ever
reversed on appeal. But on the
Supreme Court bench, he has
often joined such liberal COL
leagues as Justices Hugo Black
and William Douglas in voting to
upset convictions particularly in.
search and seizure cases.
Was this a major psychological
transformation for an ex-prosecu-
tor whose own father was q mur-
der victim? Some say yes but he
once made statement that could
be considered a clue.
Although I fought vigorously
in the cases I prosecuted" he once
commented, II invariably felt
nauseated when the jury brought
in verdict Of guilty"
In the Long Run
How will his term on the court
be remembered?
Opinions differ, depending on
who does the talking. Some OBJ
servers have noted an increase In
judicial legislation" u new law
created by court decisions. Some
comment on an apparent increase
in the number of 5-4 decisions,
the bitter conflicts reflected In
dissenting opinions.
There is difference Of opinion
on whether the Chief Justice has
done the influencing or been the
influenced one. There is consid-
cradle agreement that he must
have done a great deal Of moral
persuasion to get a unanimous
decision in the school segregation
cases.
He knows how he wants to be
remembered. ...'
I'D like to be remembered, now
and hereafter" he said, "as having
done the best I could in the offices
have held"

an occasional interest in basket
ball.
On Sunday mornings, he stays
in bed to read the newspapers and
go over the work he had brought
home for week end study. After a
noon breakfast, he walks for a
couple Of hours in the afternoon
and visits with friends.
The Warrens go out very little
socially.
II find that either you have to
be almost entirely out of social
activities in Washington or you
must be in almost over your head, 1"
the chief justice explains. IT can't
do this work and be out every
night at social affairs"
The Chief Justice, however,
thoroughly enjoyed the Inaugural
festivities and his role in the
swearing in ceremonies.
"A change in administration is
always an exciting thing for the
American people-certainly 1t is
for one who has always been as
interested in government as have
been throughout my life. I found it
very exciting and I was very happy
to do the swearing In"
He acknowledged that mo one
could have a background like
mine without occasionally having
a nostalgia feeling for it, espe-
cially when exciting things are
happening in the country and
in the world" On the other
hand, he emphasized that I'm
not one who feels I'm missing
out on politics, because I had q
great many years Of it. After
being Governor Of California for
II years, felt ready to do some
thing else"
