Federal judges have not
only life tenure with no
diminution Of compensation
upon retirement but the
greatest constitutional safe
guards against removal. They
are the same that apply to
the President of the United
States and other civil Off
GERS. They constitute the
procedure of impeachment
for, and conviction of, trea-
son. bribery. or other high
crimes and misdemeanors
with two-thirds Of the Sem
ators present required for
conviction. With these safe
guards against removal and
tenure for life or during good
behavior. Federal judges are
practically i'm une from
prosecution. particularly with
respect to private or nom
official conduct or activities,
however questionable or rep
rehensible they may be.
Since little study and less
legislation have been made
in the area covering life
tenure Of Federal judges,
their removal, and the mean
ing or Qualification of good
behavior" such a study is
long past due in order to
enable Congress to pass APP
propriate legislation. The
study should envisage an
administrative procedure to
investigate legitimate COM
plants or charges against
individual Federal judges and
make findings thereon.
I have not read Joseph
Borkin's The Corrupt
Judge" but have scanned its
pages. His recommendation
that Federal judges be re-
quired to make confidential
statements of their financial
holdings and transactions to
the Supreme Court is good so
far as 1t goes. But 1t raises a
few questions. Why should
the statements be confiden-
tial when the widest publicity
is given to possible conflict
Of interest of appointees to
high administrative positions,
such as Cabinet members?
Judges are human and
subject to the same tempta-
tons or weaknesses as other
humans. There is private
corruption as well as public.
Borkin's recommendation
should be extended to cover
other forms Of corruption in
addition TO the financial and
should envisage an admins
trative procedure whereby
ordinary citizens could lodge
legitimate plants or
charges for official investi-
cation and determination as
TO whether they should be
taken to court.

shorter-range missile as a
highly expensive alternative.
Or, finally, they can sever
their nuclear ties with the
United States and join the
French and the Germans In
an effort to develop a truly
independent European nu-
clear weapons system.
This last alternative, which
would be little less than
calamitous to American in
terests in Europe and Ameri-
can concepts Of defense. is
today a distinct possibility.
It has become so as q result
Of American policy. which
appears to steadfastly ignore
the basic security and politi-
cal problems Of the United
States European allies.
There are many, perhaps.
who would be happy to see
Britain give up its independ-
ent nuclear deterrent regard
less Of the political conse-
quences for the Macmillan
government. They are the
same people. by and large.
who have tried by every
means available to impede
Frances efforts at nuclear
development. But what is at
stake in the Skybolt con-
troversy is not simply a
given weapons system. but
the whole question of how
far Europeans can rely on
the United States for their
basic security requirements.
u. s. Out Of Line -
There is no question that
this is rapidly becoming the
fundamental problem Of the
NATO alliance. And on this
question, American policy at
the moment seems woefully
out Of line with the main
trends Of European thinking.
The American idea of pre-
serving a nuclear monopoly
supported by massive Euro
pean conventional forces, sim
ply won't work. Europeans
are perfectly well aware that
in any conflict nuclear wea-
pons will be the decisive force.
They will not waste their en-
orgies and resources on build
ing up forces of marginal
significance. They will not
be content to leave the I'LL
innate power Of decision in
American hands.
The concurrent and quite
contradictory American idea
OF selling Europe an Ameri-
can controlled nuclear
weapon won't work either.
The suggestion that Euro
peans should be willing to
pay for a military force whose
use would require American
agreement arouses singularly
little interest here.
1t is a profound mistake,
furthermore, to believe that
Europe'S security interests
are in all cases identical to
those Of the United States.
In many important areas
they are not. And If these
special European interests
are Systematically disre-
garded and frustrated by
American planners, one can
confidently predict that the
Europeans will marshal the
necessary energy and re-
sources on their own.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-10


The growing tendency in
Washington to think strictly
In terms Of American stra-
tegic military needs is raising
havoc in NATO today and
could have fatal consequences
for the alliance in the long
run.
The current Juror over the
Skybolt missile - which is
certain to dominate the top
level discussions between
Britain and the United States
in the coming weeks--is a
highly significant case in
point.
Skybolt is an airborne nu-
clear missile with q range Of
1000 miles being developed
by the United States. The
British had ordered 100 of
these missiles as basic equip
ment for their Vulcan bomber
force to be delivered in 1864.
On the basis Of the American
commitment the British can
celed their own airborne mis-
sile program. relying entirely
on the United States for their
future as a nuclear power.
Now reports from WASH
ington indicate that after q
series Of discouraging tests
the entire Skybolt program
may be strapped. No appro-
priation for development Of
the missile has been included
In the defense budget for the
coming year and the expla-
nations Of official spokesman
have been evasively ambigu-
Gus.
Minuteman Favored
There is q strong implica-
ton. however. that admin
istration Strategists have
decided that there Is no
urgent American military
need for going on with the
Skybolt program. Its func-
ton, 1t is argued, can be more
efficiently carried out by the
new Minuteman land-based
missile which is now going
into production. Air Force
arguments that Skybolt will
fill a vital gap in the Amer
lean nuclear striking force
appear to have been over
ruled.
Such a decision--if a de-
cision has indeed been made
may be entirely logical and
sensible in terms of American
interests. In Britain, where
the situation is quite differ
ent, reaction to these reports
is UNDERSTANDABLE violent.
Government spokesman have
made 1t clear that such a
decision would pull the rug
out from under the whole
British defense program. It
is also obvious that 1t would
amount to a major political
calamity for the conservative
government Of Prime Min
lister Macmillan and one
which could affect radically
the relations between the
United States and Britain in
the months to come.

scrapped the British face

FDR and BiddIe


torney James j. Laughlin's
recent letter has done we'll
TO remind presen t d ay
Americans of the atrocities
to justice committed by the
mass sedition case Of World
War II. Now in rather un-
canny fashion history con-
firms the open secret that
the case evolved as a White
House frame-up. Now we
have the official genesis of
the strangeSt case in Ameri-
can jurisprudence.
A mountain Of tragedy
was erected because one
man overruled the trained
judgment Of his own attor-
ney. The man was the Presi-
dent and his lawyer the
Attorney General. White
House pressure was allowed
to supplant American JUS
tice.
Former Attorney General
Francis Biddle, directing
genius Of the American Civil
Liberties Union, gives ex-
pert testimony regarding the
official origin of Americas
muscovite trial in his mem
oirs, I'm Brief Authority"
Mr.. Biddle takes us inside
the White House cabinet
room as the great expert
menter browbeats him for
failure to indict innocent
Americans:
THE President was get
ting q good deal of mail
complaining about the soft
ness Of his Attorney General,
After two weeks, during
which F. D. RS manner when
I saw him said as plainly rs
words that he considered me
out Of step, he began to go
for me in the Cabinet. His
technique was always the
same. When my turn came,
as he went. around the table,
his habitual affability
dropped. He did not ask me
as usual. If / had anything
to report. He looked at me,
his face pulled tightly to-
gether. When are you going
to indict the seditionists?' he
would ask; and the next
week, and every week after
that, until the indictment
was found. he would repeat
the same question. OF course,
l felt uncomfortable. / told
him that there was an i'm
mense amount OF evidence;
that I wanted the indict-
ment to stick when it was
challenged; and that we
could not indict these men
for their naked writings and
spoken words without show
ing what effect they had on
the war effort. His way Of
listening made my explana-
tions sound unreal. At the
Cabinet meeting a day or two
after the return of an in
dictment he said, now in his
most conciliatory manner, I
was glad to see. Francis, that
the grand jury returned a
true bill I cannot remem-
Der any other instance Of his
putting pressure on me. He
never tried to interfere with
any decision ! made, even IL
he thought it might have
serious political repercus-
sions. or might affect the
war unfavorably, as when /
directed that Harry Bridges
be deported."
It is not easy to tell the
sordid side Of a close friend
even though that friend has
departed this life. But Mr..
Biddle clearly does not want
another mass sedition trial
TO be evolved in America.
