Most television dramas about

writer's look and sound Like old,
old movies.

"The Messiah fitted neatly into

standing, hardship and final
triumph.

Christmas program, lavishly

But even the presence Of

drama.
NBC also broadcast the sec

cal hour was the NBC 0rches-
ira playing Prokofiev's "Cin-

artist Lisl We'll illustrated the

ABC's ARREST and Trial" was
an interesting story with a we'll
telegraphed ending. Milton Berle
frightened up everybody's act
with his Glowing on the Ed

Efforts to help the "Phil Sill

show needs is funnier scripts,
not a bigger cast.

District Court has the primary
responsibility for the calendar
and judges work schedules
When 1t became apparent that
the case load had risen con-
siderably over last year, Judge
MCGUIRE named two extra
judges to the two judges he
had already designated for
July.
Judge MCGUIRE also changed
the rules for civil cases, provid-
ing that, beginning in the fall
many types Of pre-trial mo-
tons, which are often time
consuming and frivolous, can
be heard by a pre-trial exami-
ner in order to free q judge for
trial work.
Jail Load Gains
At the end Of June Judge
Bazelon received the latest fig
ures on the criminal calendar
which showed that the number
of defendants in jail had in
creased from SO last June 80 to
176 this year.
He brought this to the atten-
ton of Judge Mcclure, who got
another Judge to volunteer his
services for the month of July,
bringing the total to five.
At the same time Judge Ba-
zelon circulated a memorandum
to the circuit judges outlining
the situation, and Judges Wright
and Burger volunteered to sit
for the summer recess.
BY this time Judge MCGUIRE
had gone on vacation and half
of the Circuit and District Court
judges were spread across the
country and around the globe.
BazelOn Acts
Then, without consulting the
District Court any further,
Judge Bazelon called Judge
MCGUIRE and announced he was
making the two circuit appoint
ments. Judge MCGUIRE con-
CURED that the two judges
would help ease the calendar.
Although Judge Bazelon has
refused to comment on any
facets of the situation, it is
quite clear he realized that the
two appointments would obtain
considerable publicity and
bring the whole vacation dis
pute and calendar problem in
to the public eye.
The reaction of the District
Court judges so far has been
mixed. They all agree that
something should be done to
ease the backlog.
And although some well
coined the move, most of the
judges strongly objected to
Judge Bazelon's action in air
ing the controversy and resent
what they regard as an attempt
to bludgeon the District Court
into submission through publi-
city.

otoE CteA1 WEAteE
A bitter five-year-old con
troversy over the traditiona
'three-month summer vacation
showdown in the United States
District Court was made public
last week.
For the first time since the
battle started back in 1858, Il
emerged from the secrecy Of
judicial chambers when CHIEF
Judge David L. Bazelon Of the
United States Court of Appeals
appointed two Of his circuit
judges to sit on the District
Court bench in an effort tc
clean UP the District Courts
backlogged calendar.
His surprise action in nam
ing Circuit Judges j. Sicily
Wright and Warren E. Burger
to the District Court for the
balance Of the summer term
was taken, Judge Bazelon said,
"in the public interest.
Crowded Calendar
THE public interest" is the
statutory wording necessary
when a chief judge Of the Court
of Appeals wants to name his
judges to the District Court.
However, In the broader con-
text, 1.-THE public interest" en-
compasses Judge Bazelon'S view
that the nine to twelve week
vacation customarily taken by
almost all the IA District Court
judges is too long in view of
the increasing overload on the
criminal and civil calendar.
Specifically, Judge Bazelon
was said to be disturbed over
the 176 criminal defendants in
the D. c. jail who are not able
to obtain their liberty on bail
and who normally would have
to stay in jail all summer.
The chief Judge was also
said to be dissatisfied with the
average 22.5 month delay in
the civil calendar between the
time a civil suit is filed and its
final disposition.
Other Critics
Judge Bazelon is Joined in
his dissatisfaction by some of
the Circuit Court judges and
at least five District Court
judges who wish to cut down
the vacation time and operate
the court on a faster pace
throughout the summer months.
Although Judge Bazelon's
action last week seemed sud-
den, actually the dispute
started five years ago when
former Chief Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman started a campaign
for a buster working summer
session by bringing up the mat
ter at a meeting of the Judi
cial Council of the Circuit,
composed Of all the Circuit
judges.
The District Court judges
reacted strongly to the notion
Of a limit on the vacation pc
Rod. A few even went so far
as to threaten to turn the
whole affair into a public scan-
dial by refusing to obey any
such order.

controversy.

Fatal Gap?

In a recent speech, Senator Gold
water, the leading candidate for the
Republican nomination, warned against
a fatal gap" in American defense re-
sulting from the nuclear test ban. Going
still further, the Senator offered the
view that the mere prospect of the test
ban has already caused the President
to abandon defense projects which
offer real not paper protection to the
people" The projects the Senator had
in mind are those leading to the devel-
opment OF the anti-missile missile. The
President, however, merely expressed
the doubt Of the experts who work on
the problem that any absolute success
will be attained. The Secretary of De-
tense has testified that the work goes
forward under $3.50 million budget.
This is far cry from Senator Gold
waters view that the President seem
ingly" has sentenced to death a vital
portion Of the defense of this Nation.
The Senator's qualification of SEEM
ingly" only served to expose his syn
tactical juggling for what 1t is, a word
game designed to make something out
of nothing.
Along with the Secretary of De-
Tense, the Joint Chiefs Of Staff and the
chairman Of the Atomic Energy Com
mission have Endorsed the test ban.
There were reservations from the mill
tary, but they were in general agree
ment that the ban will serve the best
interests Of the United States. The
reservations Of the Chiefs and indeed
the factual base of Senator Goldwater's
own objections are essentially Of a piece
with the reserved optimism of the
Presidents original announcement. It
is perfectly clear that no one in the
administration approaches the treaty
with utopian expectations. AS every
one in support has said, 1t is but a
first step" Still without a first step
no journey is ever made.
The only fatal gap" we see at the
moment is the one between Senator
Goldwater's facts and his conclusions.
If this is fair sample Of his concept
Of intelligent opposition, fatal gap may
soon appear between the Senator and
the Republican nomination.

Mideost Menace

The House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, a very knowledgeable and sober
minded group, has issued sound and
timely warning in declaring that the
arms race in the Near East-particu-
larly between Israel and Egypt-is full
Of great danger.
This holds true even though all
parties concerned are ready and willing
to adhere to the limited nuclear test
ban pact. In the world of reality, such
adherence-Since the Signatories are
baSically incapable of becoming atomic
powers Of any conSequence-haS little
significance. What still counts, however,
is that they are capable Of arming them
selves with extremely formidable con-
venttonal weapons. And they are also
capable Of keeping that area of the
world in a constant state Of uncertainty
and tension. AS the House committee
has put it:
=. The Near East continues to be I'M
stable. There has been no progress toward
an Arab-ISrael peace, and little progress
toward the settlement of the conflicts that
divide the Arab states. Virulent threats and
determinations engender fear and disrupt
stability. Parallel with this competition in
propaganda goes a competitive acquisition
of arms This arms race began with conven-
tional weapons which the Soviet bloc furn-
ished to Egypt in 1855 and has been intensi-
fled in kind and proportion until there is
now danger Of oscillation to more sophisti-
Gated weapons. AS result the governments
OF the region are burdened with excessive
defense expenditures. . The committee
believes that an arms race cancels out the
Salutary effects of United States economic
assistance and accentuates the threat of a
new outbreak of hostilities. Our aid to Israel
and the Arab states should be administered
SO as to discourage conflict and to promote
stability in the area. Consideration should
be given to the withholding of economic as
sistance from those countries which persist
in policies of belligerence.
This is something more easily said
than done, but our country has good
reason to try to do it. Certainly, as the
House Foreign Affairs Committee makes
clear, every effort must be made to
check the Egyptian-Israeli arms race
before 1t leads to an explosion that
could rock the world.

An Art Loan

The rarest kind of art loan has been
announced for the National Gallery of
Art starting in December. From New
York's Museum Of Modern Art will come
$50 major works, paintings normally on
permanent exhibition at the Modern.
The occasion is extensive renovations in
the New York museum. Instead of fol-
lowing the usual practice of simply lock-
Ing up its treasures while the work goes
on, the Modern is making major loans
to Canada and to the National Gallery.
To Washington will come an impor-
tant part Of a sequence Of paintings
that has long been recognized as the
canon" OF modern art. The standard
establishing series begins with the severe
structures in paint of Cezanne and the
upward flow Of paint and emotion to-
gether in Van Gogh's STARRY Night"

French achievement forward into its

great Towering in MatisSe, prague and
PicaSSo.
We will see, too, the sheer catholicity
Of the Modern'S taste, a point often lost
to people not familiar with the museum,
a point sometimes obScured In this
very city few blocks from the National
Gallery and up the hill. The Museum
Of Modern Art has been extraordinarily
successful in finding first rate works of
all schools. Notable in the loan show
will be the top examples Of American
realism, such as Edward Hopper's House
by the Railroad" and the haunting pic
ture by Andrew Wyeth, christmas
World"
For lack of state cultural appa-
ratuS in the manner of other nations,
this country's artistic presence abroad
has regularly been created and sustained
by the Museum Of Modern Art. It will
be educational and rewarding for the
Capital to see how its unpaid substitute
functions at home.
