The chairman of the District

tested that members of his
committee accepted an invita-

policy briefing yesterday only

Carl L. Shipley said in a brisk

State, that he was "embar-

Louchheim had invited Repub-

Plan to Ban Antibiotics
In Cold Medicines Hit

The Food and Drug Admin
istration's proposed regulation
barring antibiotics from pre-
scription cold treatments has
brought in more than a thou
sand comments from doctors
and individuals-most of them
critical of FDA's plans.
Yesterday was the last day
for comments.
FDA will look over the criti-

to issue the regulation as pro-
posed, amend it or forget it.

Press Officer Richard I,

Mr.. Lodge had been sched-

but postponed the trip because
of the military coup which re-
suited in the downfall and
death of President Ngo Dinh

Justices Are Believed Likely to Recall
Warnings by Fronkfurter and Harlan

nority Of scholars could not
have failed to impress a
court which additionally Is
indifferent to comments by
the press but respects the
judgment of the bar as de-
clared in its own organs Of
opinion.
It should surprise no one.
Of course, that the reappor-

ceived more popular support
than the unanimous judy
ment IN the school Segrega-
ton cases. The fundamental
complaint Of the protesting
cities was that the present
representation was a denial
Of their population, h cir
power, and their Importance.
Quite clearly, any verdict in
their favor would inevitably
be very popular with them.
But it would be Just as un-
fair to support the reappor-
tionment decision because it
is popular with the cities as
it would be to condemn the
segregation decision because
it is unpopular in the South.
Popularity is never a natural
ally of the judicial tradition.

Alas, we have suffered a

cal agitation which gradually
led judges and politicians TO
change their opinions. II Is a
fair verdict on the historical
record to say that none Of
these wrongs would have
been destroyed if the men
and women Of that bygone
age had shown as little faith
in political action as has
been revealed by the oppo-
nents Of apportionment. In
our time We have grown too
wise for the strenuous cam
paigns Of political controver-
sy. We tend to leave these
contentious N alters to be
settle d in the courts and
above all in the Supreme
Court.
Yet it thrusts an unjust
and unnecessary burden on
the Supreme Court to make
it the agency for solving the
most complicated and pain
full problems in the Nation. It
betrays an imperfect faith in
the democratic process to
look to the Supreme Court
for a solution except as an
agency of last resort. Some
times the court must act to
protect outraged rights or to
end manifest wrongs when
political remedies are impos-
sible. But the Supreme Court
must never be too eager to
ssume this responsibility,
just as it can never be timid
in meeting this duty when it
has no choice. 1t should new
er forget the wisdom in JUS
tice Frankfurther's warning
that every free nation de-
serves the right to educate
itself by its mistakes.
Every frie nd Of the
Supreme Court will want it to
settle these apportionment
cases with equity and sue
cess. But one does not be-
come the critic of this court
in hoping that its jurisdic-
ton will not again extend so
swiftly to m alters which
more properly belong to set

Court Rebuffs Claim
To S2,232 Evidence

When an agent for the sta
ton discovered the money in
a paper bag, he contacted
police who set up a stake
out" and apprehended Mr..
Lewis.
An investigation of the bur-
glary was conducted, but police
did not solve the crime and no
charges were placed.
In his suit Lewis claimed he
had saved the money and kept
it in a closet in his home but
did not tell his family about it.

On March IL his wife PLAN
ned to house clean, he said,
so he took the money to Union
Station and placed it in a lock-
er.
Police felt they had q case
against Lewis in the store bur-
glary because he had been en-
ployed there but was fired
about a month before the theft.
In his ruling, Judge Daley
said police were within their
rights in taking custody Of
the money and that Inspector
Ashley Aderholdt also was cor
rect in keeping the money as
possible evidence of the crime.
The judge felt that Lewis
statements about saving the
money did not seem plausible.
He noted that the man had
been in Jail from December,
1857, until June, 1861, on an
assault and ATTEMPTED robbery
charge and is presently serving

ROME-What is happen
ing to Americas leadership
Of the free world? Why has
1t become so unpredictable?
This reporter hears these
same questions wherever he
travels in Europe. and also
the lament that the days of
Truman and Dulles, when
America dealt from strength
and was never awed by
Kremlin blusterings, have
given way to strong words
and meek actions.
The questions asked with
undisguised concern in Eu-
rope are: Can we hope that
America will ever again take
the forefront in the battle
against communism? Is there
a chance that the American
leadership will take a strong
stand when its allies have
become strong and willing to
cooperate fully in the bat
tie?
The statements of spokes-
men of the executive branch
and Congress that Europe is
dragging its feet are def
nitely exaggerations. This is
conceded by American mill
tary commanders.
Germany, for instance, is
rapidly increasing her mill
tary establishment within
treaty limitations. The last of
the IL divisions allowed her
under the Lisbon Treaty of
1855 will be ready for action
early next year. A reserve
force of 100000 men is now
being organized to bolster the
regular army.
The French are reducing
their cumbersome forces
from more than a million to
about $4,000 men. But the
new equipment providing for
greater mobility and firepow-
er, along with thermometer
tactical weapons, will more
than make up for the reduc-
ton in numbers. Two Of the
divisions are expected to be
placed in the service Of the
NATO by early next winter.

Neither Justice Frankfurt

Ian thought a legislature
might have the right to give

sons of public policy, even
