Judges and justices have

on a political basis.
Mr.. Lawrence asks wheth-
er Mr.. Kennedy was elected
to appoint his cronieS to the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Ken
nedy was elected to carry out
certain policies, and to do
this involves, among other
things, appointing judges

Two years before relocation
began, the RIA started its
relocation planning. It in
volved all major social agen-
cies in Washington. All but
81 families of the first prof.
ect area CB'D were placed
in standard public or private
housing: the private housing
used was first inspected by
RIA staff to make sure it
was up to standard. The 81
families preferred to make
their own arrangements.
For the second project
CC") the RIA co-ordinated
the displacement Of families
with the National Capital
Housing Authority so that
a public housing project
would be built and ready for
these families at the time Of
relocation. OF the nearly
1000 families in that project,
all but $50 were rehoused in
standard housing.
During this time, the RIA
was constantly seeking ways
to alleviate hardship-paying
moving expenses for hardship
cases. working closely with
social agencies, and seeking
special funds for special serv-
ices. Contrary to Mr.. Browns
statement, to the effect that
many Negro families had
small businesses in the area,
less than 80 of the 600 busi-
nesses were owned and oper-
ated by Negroes. Most of
these were successfully relo-
Gated in other sections OF
Washington, and the records

went and how they Jared.

I protest David Lawrence's
column attacking the nomi-
nation Of Deputy Attorney
General White to the Su-
preme Court. He argues
against it on three grounds:
Lack of judicial experience,
age, and the political char
acter of the appointment.
The question Of age is the
most easy to dispatch. Mr..
White is A. Other justices
have been appointed at a
younger age (Justice Douglas
was appointed at the age of
40, for example), and at
least two great ones were a
comparable age when ap-
pointed-Justice Harlan (the
elder at A, and Chief JUS
tice Marshall at As.
AS for prior judicial ex-
perience, did Chief Justice
Marshall have any? Or did
Chief Justices Taney, Chase,
or Warren? Did Chief JUS
tices Hughes or Stone have
any when first appointed to
the Court? Did Justices Har-
Ian, Story, Wilson, Brandeis,
Roberts, Black, Douglas or
Rutledge? If 1t be objected
that most Of these are lib
erals. then did that admit
tedly extremely able, but
nonetheless re dictionary
judge, Justice Sutherland
have any? And what about
that most learned Of men,
the leader Of the conserva-
tives on today's bench, JUS
tice Frankfurter? Interest
ingly, the only recent Chief
Justice with judicial expert
ence, Chief Justice Vinson,
was not a particularly good
one.
Finally, as to the political
character of the appoint
ment. I can only say that it
is the duty of the President
to take politics into account
in judicial appointments,
and especially in those to the
Supreme Court. It is we'll
recognized that the Court is
a political institution. JUS
tice Frankfurter says, 1.-The
legislature makes laws
wholesale, and the judges
make them RETAIL" and JUS
tice Jackson, in his book on
the Supreme Court, has a
chapter entitled "The Su-

against Mr.. Nixon, and that
he will get it. In 1860 Presi-
dent Kennedy lost Califor-
MIA to Mr.. Nixon, despite all
the predictions he would
carry 1t right up G midnight
Of election day anG later.
There are many issues on
which Mr.. Nixon is planning
to attack; for example, the
State debt has now reached
some IS billion and welfare
costs are up 40 per cent since
Gov. Brown came to office.
Further, If the Kennedy sd
ministration should-as some
of its important advisers and
members urge - favor any
relaxation in this country's
opposition to recognition of
Red China and its admit
tance to the United Nations,
the issue could become of
vital importance.
Little Effect on Campaign
Attempts have been made
to belittle Mr.. Nixon be-
cause of two errors in his
new book-one saying that
President Kennedy had been
''briefed" on the training Of
Cuban exiles to fight Castro
in Cuba in September of
1860, and the other for writ
ing that in the Alger Hiss
case the FBI had possession
of the typewriter on which
were written some Of the
data allegedly turned over
by Hiss to the Communists.
Mr.. Nixon has explained his
statement about the briefing
of the President, and If his
political opponents In Cali
fornia attempt to pit Hiss
against him, they will do so
with considerable risk. It is
not likely that either of
these so-called snafus on the
part of Mr.. Nixon will play
a real part in the campaign.
Probably no other candi-
date for President, whether
a winner or a loser, has ever
written so fully and frankly
of a presidential campaign,
nor so revealingly. as has
Mr.. Nixon in "Six Crises"
He made his own decisions,
not infrequently against the
advice Of important Republi-
can leaders and his own
managers. Nor has he sought
to place the blame for his
defeat on others. He may
be expected to continue to
act in this manner In this his
Seventh Crisis. He did not
have to make the race for
Governor this year. He came
to the conclusion that for the
good Of the State and for that
OF the COP. he should take
to the political hustings
again. He had missed being
elected President by a whisk-
er.
He is still a young man
and quite clearly he is not
turning his back on the DO
litical wars. In the conclud-
ing paragraphs of his book
he wrote: President Eisen-
hover once told me. AN in
dividual who desires to re-
main in public life must
never reject what he senses
to be a sincere desire on the
part Of a majority Of the
rank and file voters as well
as the officials of his party,
for him to lead them in bat
tle'."
Obviously, If Mr.. Nixon
wins election as Governor, he
will continue in the heady
field OF politics-even though
ne has said that under no
circumstances will he become
a candidate for President in
1864. Incidentally, no one
knows what the circum-
stances will be two years
hence.

Richard M. Nixon is entering
upon his Seventh Crisis. In
his recently published book
"Six Crises"-Mr. Nixon has
given an intimate and inter-
esting account Of six stirring
and important tests through
which he has passed in is
years Of turbulent public and
political life. One thing
stands out-he has never quit
when the fighting gets hard.
It is something his oppo-
nent, Democratic Gov. Pat
Brown, would be wise to re-
member in the coming race
for the governorship Of Cali
fornia in which Mr.. Nixon
confidently expects to be his
opponent. Gov. Brown would
do well to remember this,
even though most press re-
ports and commentaries now
coming from California wide
ly indicate, If they do not
actually predict, that Mr..
Nixon is in for q bad beating.
And incidently, Mr.. Nixon's
friends say that he has not
yet begun to fight; that he
will delay his real attack on
Gov. Brown and his four
years Of administration in
California until after the
nominating primaries have
been held June 5.
In the primaries, MIR. Nix
on is opposed by the very
conservative Joseph Shell,
Republican leader of the
lower house Of the State leg
islature, the Assembly. Two
other contenders dropped out
some time ago-the Mayor Of
San Francisco, George Chris
topher, and the former Gov
ernor. Goodwin Knight. Mr..
Christopher stepped out. an
nouncing he intended to
throw his support to Mr.. Nix
on. Mr.. Knight retired be-
cause Of Ill health. Mr.. Shell
who flies his own plane and
Is wealthy, as well as a for
mer Rose Bowl football hero
has been working hard for
the nomination for a year.
To a considerable extent.
the Republican primary will
measure the strength Of the
rightwingers in California as
opposed to the more moder-
ate and progressive Eisen-
hover type in the Republican
Party. This race between the
two groups is marked still
further by the fact that Re-
publican Senator Thomas H.
Kuchel has two right-wing
opponents in his quest for
denomination: Lloyd Wright
and Howard Jarvis. Mr.. Nix
on is expected to receive 70
per cent or better of the
Republican vote in the pri-
mary, and Senator Kuchel
it is said, will do even better
against his two opponents.

The Army is drilling a well

Located at the Rocky

Safe disposal Of wastes

A waste treatment plant
has been designed to be used
in connection with the well
to remove any solid material
