Editor and Publisher Member ml th AimtUM Trm n AiMrlaM lres la exclusively entitle U th ase fee publication el all Kin dtapatenee credited te tt er eat e-therwU credited la this News From Washington The Capital Journal, using Arthur Krock. Washington cor respondent of the New York Times as authority, claims the new deal segment of the Washington hierarchy is busy shooting its poison arrows at John W. Snyder, the new secretary of the treasury. Yet a few days ago some other Washington1 corre spondent accused the new dealers of boosting Vinson for the supreme court in order to get rid of him in the cabinet. Vinson's election was credited as a victory for Hannegan and Wallace. Strange they would kick Vinson upstairs and make room for another man they hated. The difficulty is that Washington correspondents, who have to wnie something, often pull stuff out of the air. follow wrong leads or play bum hunches. As a result they are not too trust worthy. Take Krock himself, he played Hull as his prime favor ite for a long time, and is not free from personal prejudice though as head of the Times bureau he has excellent sources for information. For the news that comes out of Washington a larger dose i of! skepticism is needed than for most other news. In that polit ical swamp trails, are soon lost, currents lead to dead pools and sunlight is obscured by the dank growth of rumor, design, deceit, .ignorance. Even the president seems to be lost in the swamp. " Idaho Politic ( Idaho politics is pretty much of a merry-go-round. William E. Borah was about the only consistent winner in that state. His vagaries seemed to suit the people. With other office-holders ft has been pretty much of a leap-frog affair. The term of gov ernor is only two years, and governors change about that often, so the statehouse is in a state of perpetual motion--new ap pointees moving in as displaced office-holders are moving out. T&e Idaho whirligig did a good spinning job Tuesday, in the state primaries. Senator' Cosset t who had himself upped to U. S. senator from the governorship when John Thomas died, was defeated for the senatorial nomination by State Senator George XL Donart. C. A. Bottolfson. "Butt." who served one term as governor, was defeated for reelection, came back to serve another term, was defeated for the U. S. senatorship two years ago by Glen Taylor, the guitar-strumming minstrel, was beaten in the primaries for the senatorial nomination by a St. Maries physician. Dr. C. A. Robins. The political survivor in the primary race was Gov. Arnold Williams who is now serving out the Gossett term. If Idaho's government suffers, ss it does, from its biennial political upsets, its politics is at least far more interesting than Oregon's where political inertia prevails. It took 100 motorcycle policemen to escort the wing of the : big Howard Hughes flying boat, at Los Angeles, through the streets to the sea where the plane will be launched. This was '' the Henry Kaiser cargo plan which Henry urged as a means of speeding transportation and ending the war. The doubting - generals and admirals were called "brass hats" by the swivel- chair strategists and editors. ' An official report in Paris says that the grand mufti of ' Jerusalem left France in an Air France plane for Damascus, in : stead of a British plane as first dispatches stated. Maybe France, remembering Lebanon, turned him loose in the middle east to get sweet revenge on Britain. ' . -I U. "Three i Hundred Pickers of Strawberries in Final Stretch" runs a newspaper headline.

IP ' i ras WASHINGTON, June 12 The outburst of Justice Jackson against lisaSJee Black Is beng widely shushed as only an outcry from a per snoal quarrel. That la the least of it. What is behind it Is far more - sensational and important, to wit: A clique haadad by Mr. Black has gained ascendency in ha su preme court, the tooaevelt appointees of which are split three ways to Uke utter conn ion of law. Black's associate in f the top faction Is Justice Douglas. Black has man s d increasingly as the past year, by various means, to get a majority, sometimes only of one vote. . Enough of the other justices do not know where . they want to go to permit an inner chaotic condition to become' solidified under manipulation. Now Jackson struck out in such an amazing and ; enpreuusd manner because he saw In the Vln . son oputznent to the chief justiceship, a chance to bseak the Black faction. A story is being com ', mooJy told on the inside that Jackson was motivated by the activities of Black and one or more of his unidentified colleagues on he supreme bench in . Inducing Mr. Trumaa not to appoint Jackson to the top seat. There have been reports that Black directly threatened to resign if Truman chose Jackson. Legal Bevolatloa However thai may be. the controlling point Is Jackson interpre ted Mr. Truman's choir of Vinson as a move by the President to rioan the highest bench of the confusions in legal derisions which have corrupted law. In fact have comprised a revolution, m, social revolution, upsetting the great bulk of legal customs and precedents, s ' revolution which has not settled ino sny stability or effected sny enenmon acceptance rnVnew law. but which plunge deeper and deeper " aa It peoreens. . In this Interpretation of Mr Truman's intent, Jackson was. orient. Indeed, the conditions Jackson describes concerning the in ternal affairs of the court, explain conclusively why Mr. Truman : resisted the pressures to appoint a sitting member to the top seat, - but got an outsider and one of his own personal friends for the job. t k i am mi cauea tn jusuces nugnes ana Kooerts wno mi a mm or tne Inner court condition.) H would be inaccurate to predict any swift success for this en - deavor, however, even with the president, Vinson and Jackson col ' laboratmg. The fUack faction has a hold on the internals of the courts from its long build-up of power over U4 years. (Jackson says their machine roaches even to the inspiring of columnists). Chief Justtee Stone could not do it. and Vinson merely replaces the temper ate leatal inspirations of Stone. Ds trass Ira are Coart . For these reasons, if not equally strong democratic political rea- ' sione, there has been little talk of impeaching anyone, or doing much Investigating. aiMf congressmen were slow to react. Whatever is done Is apt to be done quietly. The average democratic congressional at- titude has been to ignore the court ss much ss possible. Indeed, private lawyers stay asses' from it as much as possible, and outstanding legal authosatla have publicly advised young lawyers to compromise cases In private, and remain out of the court aa much as possible, because of no political nature and remain out until a Judicial nature la reatosedt, Thus Jackson lifted the hive on the bench only an inch and let ;.' out only one wasp, confirming with Inner facta a condition which has been pvfeuc knowledge for some Tears, affecting ss he said "the repu i tation. of the so wit for nonpartisan and aafeiaeed decisions.'

What an incongruous situation! Governor Warren has been a good governor and merits reelec tion. But the democrats of Cali fornia should have their own can didate to run against him In No vember. The primary; system haa pretty well destroyed Party organization on the state and local levels. This has quite effectively smashed ma chine ruie and bossim except in cities; but it 'has made parties amorphous masses living largely on tradition save as some leader provides his party with a tem porary program or set of princi ples. The open primary would further impair! pariy organization what enthusiasm can California democrats generate for thetr candidate for governor? The singular thing is that while liberals, like Tompkins, .hold par ty organization: of low esteem, if not in contempt, the more ex treme groups I like the commu nists, for example, have the most rigid party discipline of any po litical organization. See what happened to Carl Browder when Duclos, the French communist, called for a shift in the party line. The destruction of the old par ties leaves a sort of vacuum into which new, ; tightly disciplined groups may enter and seize pow er. The grange itself is not "li beral when its own theories are challenged. Unless its policy has changed lately, it, still refuses to admit to its publication arguments on the other; side of issues to which it is committed. That la its privilege, to be sure. The end result of being, "liberal" may be a denial of liberty by people who know what they want and how to get it Even Henry Wallace, who certainly qualifies as a "true liberal," is calling for party loy alty and party discipline. As I see it. the Tompkins ides gives no sseurance of better gov ernment snd. would snake more of a mess of state and local poli tics snd weaken party organi zation when i it needs to be strengthened and made to stand for principles that mean something.

Don is righfvin saying that Salem hasn't done as much as it should for the veter ans, but he is wrong in intimating that Salem doesn't care and hasn't tried. What he doesn't seem to understand is that Salem does things in the Salem way, which is different from any oth er way on earth. It's like this: If Salem officialdom was faced with the necessity of digging an official post-hole, it would not be a matter of merely taking a spade and digging the hole. No, indeed! That is not the Salem way. It would,, be a matter of appointing a commission, making extensive surveys, receiving vo luminous reports and recommen dations, receiving petitions and remonstrances, giving due consid eration to the arguments of those favoring a round hole and oppos ed by those who figured that a square hole would be better. And there would be much solemn re iteration that the; whole business must be a matter of "long range planning" rather than the simple meeting of a present need. It would probably be necessary to import some "experts" to instruct us in ceremonious procedure, but eventually the hole would be dug unless the necessity hsd pass ed by the time the decision was reached, and it was found that merely driving a stake would an swer the final purpose. So Don should not be discour aged. The housing will be provid ed at least in time for the veter ans' children to enjoy. Speaking of children the veterans evident ly didn't "fool with1 long range planning in that project. A. M. Church ' ed the Frank A.
