power of the executive branch began
under Franklin Roosevelt. It decreas

Dwight Eisenhower but flowered

is apparently reaching its zenith with
Lyndon Johnson,
In the past, when one of the branch
es of our government moved too far,
too fast, another branch would step
in and call a halt ... as witness
FDR s abortive court-packing plan.
But. unfortunately, today there no
longer seem to be any brakes. LBJ
seems to have free rein to lead this
country wherever he desires. We only
wish there were a few more with the
courage of a Wayne Morse to talk
back.
When we went to school, we were
taught that our government was one
of checks and balances, that the ex
ecutive, legislative and judicial
branches had equal power and equal
authority.
That certainly isn't the case today.
The legislative voice is non-existent
in Washington. D.C., and the judici-
cial has been reduced to a hollow
rubber stamp. The executive reigns
almost completely supreme.
If LBJ were to ask that all blue
eyed blondes be banished to the moon,
h i s rubber-stamp Congress would
agree. And the Supreme Court would
rule it constitutional.
Actually, the great increase in the
More on Printing Juvenile Names
A veteran Washington State news
paper editor thinks that so-called
“walls of secrecy” erected around juv
enile court proceedings are a real
disservice.
Hu Blonk. managing editor of the
Wenatchee Daily World, told last
weekend's meeting of the Oregon
Newspaper Publishers' Assn., that the
public needs to know more about juv
enile court proceedings.
It was Blonk's thesis that a well-
informed public would be willing to
give more financial support to courts
and to the programs needed to handle
juvenile problems.
He had conducted a survey among
Pacific Northwest editors, law en
forcement officers and high school
students this spring and found an
overwhelming belief that newspapers
should print the names of youngsters
involved in serious trouble.
Blonk probably is right but it is
indeed difficult to get the public very
excited. Some Gresham merchants
suggested earlier this year that names
of juvenile offenders be printed in
The Outlook. We had mixed feelings
and asked, editorially, what our read
ers thought. The response was prac
tically nil.
Publication, after all, is only a pin
prick at the real problem . . . in
difference or outright hostility at
home. That’s the only place where
the problem can be attacked with any
chance of success.
