Church House and the Old Acad-
emy on the Green in New Castle.
Delaware, daily from II am. until

twenty-five dealers from New
England to Virginia will display
items of interest to the casual
visitor and the avid collector. All
types of fine antiques, from the
rough Early American to exquisite
formal pieces will be displayed in
an effort to present a selection of
furniture and accessories Gnclud-
ing guns and jewelry) to suit every
taste and purse. All of these seven
teenth, eighteenth. and nineteenth
century articles will be for sale.
This largest small antique show
in the East" is unique in that it
is held in the historic seventeenth
century town of New Cas- e,
against a truly colonial back
ground. The Old Academy on the
Green was built by Peter Crowd
ing, a famous Philadelphia archi-
tect. in 1898. The New Castle Pres
byterian Church, which sponsors
this event, was built in 1907, and
it's Church House, recently built,
was designed to harmonize with
the colonial architecture of the
town.
Luncheon, dinner, and snacks
will be served in the c h IL h
House. Snacks and beverages will
also be available throughout the
show in the walled Secret Garden
of the Old Academy Building.

Congress and the Supreme Court

roneous. He wrote in 1920:
THE judiciary of the
United States is the subtle
corps of sappers and miners
constantly working under
ground to undermine the
foundations of our confed-
Grated fabric.
ITO consider the judges as
the ultimate arbiters of all
constitutional questions is a
very dangerous doctrine, in
deed, and one which would
place us under despotism of
an oligarchy."
Mr., jefferson recommend
ed that all Supreme Court
justices be appointed for six
year terms, with reappoint-
ability by the President, and
subject to confirmation by
both houses of Congress, in
stead OF just by the Senate.
The chief criticism through
out the years has been that
the court has tried to become
a policymaker and has de-
parted from judicial limits.
In August, 1858, the Confer
ence of State Chief Justices,
by a vote of SO to 8, severely
criticized the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United
States and, in a formal re-
port, said:
1--WE believe that in the
fields with which we are con-
cerned, and as to which we
feel entitled to speak, the
Supreme Court too often has
tended to adopt the role of
policymaker without proper
judicial restraint. We feel this
is particularly the case in
both of the great fields we
have discussed-namely, the
extent and extension of the
Federal power, and the su-
pervision of State action by
the Supreme Court by virtue
of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. In the light of the
immense power of the Su-
preme Court and its practi-
cal nonreviewability in most
instances, no more impor-
tant obligation rests upon it,
in our view, than that of
careful moderation in the ex-
ercise Of its policymaking
role"
The foregoing is really an
appeal to public opinion to
achieve a reform. It is the
right of individual citizens
similarly to call for reforms,
and that's why it isn't so
simple to write off the "ex-
tremism" of some members
of the John Birch Society as
altogether unprovoked.

Is Your English

Many intelligent men and

poor English or can't speak and
write effectively" says Don Bo-

Career Institute, Chicago.

English is holding them back use
our new home method to stop
making embarrassing mistakes in
English, to improve their writing,
to increase their vocabularies, to
speed up their reading, to acquire
the techniques Of fluent CONVEX
sation. But the use of effective
English pays off in unexpected
ways" says Bolander, because
language is a tool of thought as
well as a tool of expression.

"You use words with which to
think. The more you learn about
words and how to arrange them

Guinea, closely tied to the old
metropolis. His policies were
so farseeing that today the
relationship between France
and the bulk of her former
colonies is closer than that
between Britain and her for
mer empire. This is shown
frequently at the United Ma
tions when on important
questions the "Brazzaville
group" votes solidly with
France.
There are no chaotic politi-
cal and economic conditions
in this group of the new re-
publics which were formerly
French colonies such. as can
be seen in the former Brit
ism colonies, including por-
tions of the Commonwealth
such as India. Because of
the prosperity which exists
in France today-the result
of less than four years of
President de Gaulle's regime
- substantial assistance is
given in intelligent economic
and technical support to help
them in their progress. There
is no president Of any of the
"Brazzaville group" who can
boast of six Rolls Royces as
can Mr.. Nkrumah, director of
Ghana, In the meantime, Mr..
Nkrumah'S subjects are starv-
ing and have fewer civil
rights than when they were
under th2 British crown.

never had such associates.
Only his wife and brother
(now deceased) ever called
him Charles" His juniors
in the army called him by
his rank; his seniors, "De
Gaulle" and the politicians
and others Mon General"
or Monsieur lie President"
But while nobody was al
lowed to be an intimate, many
have known his mind well.
Gen de Gaulle, whom
many describe as the only
leader France has had since
Napoleon although there
: are absolutely no similar
tiles between the two men
has considered himself a man
of destiny ever since he en-
tered st. Cyr. Some say he
has a Messianic complex. This
is denied by those who know
his mind. But he is convinced
that he was chosen by God
to lead France out of the
wilderness. Events which have
occurred since Frances down
fall in 1910 have convinced
him further that the hand of
the Almighty is guiding him.
Gen. de Gaulle is an in
tenSely religious man. He does
not hear mass every noon as
German Chancellor Adenauer
does in a private chapel. But
he asks Divine guidance for
every step he takes. And in
this he does not object to
being compared with st. Joan

ROME. - What m a k e s
Charles de Gaulle tick? How
is it that this elderly Presi-
dent of France, faced with a
greater complexity of prob
lens than any other head of
state, has been able to stand
up to them for more than
three years without yield
ing an inch?
Under Frances present
difficult conditions and in
keeping with French politi-
cal traditions, the govern
ment would have been ex-
pected to change many times.
But despite the open rebel
lion Of the generals and the
discomfort of wage earners
in government and industry,
Gen. de Gaulle has remained
unflinching in his policies.
How is it. one may ask,
that this man who is not
a politician and is COM
pletely lacking in political
"sex appeal" whose aloofness
fringes on arrogance, enjoys
the confidence and admira-
ton of the French people?
How is it that they have ac-
cepted his inflexible ways?
How, under pressures from
Washington and London, has
he remained unyielding on
direct high level negotiations
with the Russians?
The results of the Bermuda
meeting between President
Kennedy and Prime Minister
Macmillan have, in effect,
been a victory for the De
Gaulle policy. He has been,
during the last three months,
cajoled and sometimes threat
ened with isolation by Wash
ington and London. Yet he
remained the old, stubborn
and intractable De Gaulle CT
the last war.
To all our arguments he
had only one answer: IF the
Russians want to negotiate,
let them come and tell us
what they have to offer out
side the confirmation of our
treaty rights in Berlin.
How is it that France, which
is fundamentally a lesser
power insofar as her economy
and military strength are
concerned, could make her
point of view prevail over
her stronger allies?
In an effort to find a clue
to this mystical power, this
reporter has talked with
many people, including some
retired officers who were

A controversy over the al
legged leniency of the Su-
preme Court toward the Com
munist menace inside Amer
lea is bound to grow as Con-
gresS soon resumes its ses-
SionS.
The high court has said,
in effect, that Americans
can join the Communist
Party and that Congress can
not legiSlate against them
except in cases in which it
can be proved that they are
knowingly intent on the ov-
erthrow of the Government
OF the United States by force.
This is considered an almost
insuperable barrier because
1t involves endless technical
tiles over what constitutes le-
gal proof of intent"
The Department of Justice
is trying now to prosecute
the leaders of the Communist
Party in America on the
ground that, under existing
law, they can be required to
register as agents of a for
eign government, which they
refuse to do. A few such
persons, therefore, could ul-
timately go to Jail, but in
reality many thousands of
others will be free to con-
tinue to carry on their sup

seem to be a constitutional

members of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The address, which was care
fully prepared in advance,

The Vice President was
speaking at a luncheon hon
orlng a new Federal Judge
at Houston, Texas, and he
said that in America peo-
