JOSEPH KRAFT

Is there a new, liberal ma
jority on the Supreme Court?
At least two Of the cases
(Gastelun-Q uinones and yell
lin) adjudicated as the term
ended this week suggest that
the answer is Yes. But II so.
the majority asserts itself in
a mode that is discreet and
technical, not broad and
9 philosophical. In conse-
quence. the sharply divisiye
issues Of the past seem soft
ened in intensity-perhaps to
the point where the way will
soon be opened for q new
set Of dominant issues.
In general, the divisions Of
the past found their most
sweeping expressions in con-
flicting concepts of the APP
propriate dimensions for ju-
dicial review Of the legisla-
ture. Former Justice Frank
furter. and the old majority,
tended to emphasize the doc
trine OF judicial restraint. AS
Justice Frankfurter once put
It: Responsibility for
legislation lies with legisla-
lures, answerable as they are
directly to the people, and
this courts only and very
narrow function Is to deter
mine whether within the
= broad grant Of authority
vested in legislatures. they
have exercised Q Judgment
for which reasonable justi-
fication can be offered"
In contrast, Justice Black,
and the old minority main
tanned that the court had a
special role, or. privileged,
position" in defending civil
liberties against legislative
incursion because these lib
critics, as set forth in the
Bill Of Rights, were absolute.
AS Justice Black put it: ut Is
my belief that there are abb
solutes' in our Bill Of Rights,
and that they were put there
on purpose by men who
knew what words meant, and
meant their prohibitions to
be 'absolutes.'"
What generated these far
reaching. not to say far out,
,generalizations was o series
Of security cases dating back
more than is years. In all
these cases. the right Of the
Congress to act, or to secure
information, regarding in
ternal security was. in some
way, in tension with the
freedoms guaranteed by the
First Amendment. With very
few exceptions, the court
consistently sustained and
legitimized the practices Of
the Congress and It's commit
tees and agents in protecting

1t was declared by the
court that Congress could
pass o law multiplying what q
State had done by way Of
racial discrimination, but
that 1t could not deal with
q situation in which a State
has passed no law or taken
no action whatsoever. The
citizens remedy, II was
pointed out, lay In proce-
dures through the States and
not through the Federal
Government.
Mr.. Kennedy In his mes
sage pointed out that there
are 80 States which have
enacted laws against dis
elimination in public places,
and he seems to feel that,
when the States fail to pass
such laws, the Government
can step in and do 90. It is
precisely this extension Of
Federal power which the Su-
preme Court In the 1883 case
declared unconstitutional.
On the matter Of employ
ment, the President is step
ping on delicate ground when
he insists that the Federal
Government can compel an
employer to hire somebody
whom he does not wish in
his employ because Of fric-
ton among his other en-
ployes due to racial feeling.
Incidentally, the President
had one sentence in lis mes
sage which probably will be

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Kennedy has
proposed to Congress that 1t
enact certain civil rights"
laws, and he assumes they
win be held constitutional by
the Supreme Court. But the
truth is these same proposals
are Of doubtful constitution
atty. and members Of Con-
gress who have taken an oath
to uphold the Constitution
will have a hard time decid-
ing whether, by voting for
such legislation, they will be
violating or sustaining the
Constitution itself.
A little more than SO years
ago, Congress passed a law
providing for equal accom-
modations in public facilities
hotels, restaurants and eat
ing places. 1t sought to ban
racial discrimination. But the
Supreme Court Of the United
States, in an action known
as the "Civil Rights Cases."
decided in 1883. held that
Congress had no power under
the Fourteenth Amendment
to write any such laws and
that its only power was to
nullify State action Of a dis
criminatory character. The
Supreme Court decision was
by an 8 to / vote, and the
majority opinion said:
1T is clear that the law in
question cannot be sustained
by any grant Of legislative
power made to Congress by
the Fourteenth Amendment.
-. The law in question, with
out any reference to adverse
State legislation on the sub
jects, declares that all persons
shall be entitled to equal ac-
commodations and privileges
of inns, public conyeyances,
and places Of public amuse-
ment. and imposes q penalty
upon any individual who shall
deny to any citizen such equal
accommodations and privi-
leges.
This is not corrective
legislation; it is primary and
direct; 1t takes immediate
and absolute possession of
the subject Of the right Of
admission to inns, public con-
veyances. and places of
amusement. 1t supersedes and
displaces State legislation on
the same subject. or only al

the internal security. A So
called conservative majority
headed by Justice Frank
furter and including Justices
Clark, Harlan, Stewart and
Whitaker-was in the saddle.
The Gastelun Quinones
and Yellin cases both in
volved questions Of internal
security and civil liberties.
In the first, a naturalized
citizen had been ordered de-
ported by reason Of his mem
bership in the Communist
Party. In the second. q wit
ness who had refused to an
swer. chiefly on grounds Of
the First Amendment, ques-
tons put to him by the
House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee had been
convicted of contempt Of
p Congress.
In each case, the Supreme
Court reversed the rulings of
the lower courts by a 5-4 de-
cision. In each case the nil
nority ruling for the Govern
ment and against the individ-
ual was the same: Justices
Clark, Harlan and Stewart
from the old conservative
majority, plus Justice White.
In each case the majority rul-
ing for the individual and
against the Government was
the same - the four tradi-
tional liberals-Chief Justice
Warren, and Justices Black,
Douglas and Brennan-rein-
forced by Justice Goldberg.
And in each case, the basis Of
the majority ruling was mar

ties. Mr.. Kennedy will adj

ing. those sentiments.
He faces not hostility, but
uncertainty. The Germans
do not know him as they
knew Gen. Eisenhower, Mr..
Dulles and even Harry Tru-

the President also inherits
old fears associated with the
Roosevelt Morgenthau doc
trine Of unconditional sur
render and even the Versail-

 Some of the fisheries which he feels would be further developed include sardines, naackerel and squid off the coast of, California
 herring and cod in Washington, Oregon and Alaska waters, mullet In Florida, hake in Atlantic wa ters, alewife off Maryland, Vir- ginia and North Carolina, and many others. Fish flour or fish protein concentrate would also be eligible for exportation under the bill.
 "l understand that approxi- mately seven billion pounds of presently unutilized fish are available annually off the coasts of the United States,' Senator Bartlett said. Harvest of these species would provide an impor- tant year-round diversification for our fishermen. In the Pacific northwest there are abundant stocks of gray fish, rockfish, and other species which are not fully utilized. In Alaska, Bering Sea bottomfish, now taken by Japan and Russia in amounts of more than ? billion pounds per year, and in California, hakes, sauries and anchovies, all lend themselves to use for fish protein concen- trate.e
 In conclusion, Senator Bartlett stated, "The inclusion of fishery products in the Food for Peace program offers an approach to this serious problem of the fish ing industry as it has offered solution to the problem of Ameri- can agriculture. While helping to solve these problems, the Food for Peace program can promote our defense and security and our humanitarian goals of providing economic development and food for our friends"
