That is the charitable way of looking at the proposal of Senators Eastland of Missippi and Bridges of New Hampshire for ."unpacking" the supreme court. They propose a constitu tional amendment to limit to three the number of justices who could, be named to the supreme court by one president. It would b retroactive in nature and force the retirement of all the Roosevelt justices except Black. Reed and Frankfurter. Those put off the court would be Douglas, Jackson and Rutledge. Despite the unseemly strife within the court and its diligence fn remaking law until even the country's lawyers hardly know what th law is, the East land -Bridges suggestion seems both inept and absurd. The mechanics of the plan makes it beyond realisation. It would require the affirmative vote of two-thirds f each house and ratification by three-fourths of the states . obviously impossible. We casvt unwind history like that. The country will just hsve to go forward and work its way out of the present mess In' the judiciary. Most of the members are young and have an expectancy of long service an the bench; but maybe they are young enough to learn. And there fin still truth in the oft-quoted quip of Mr. Dooley" that the supreme court follows the election returns. Public opinion is hard even for judicial zealots to resist. The Eastland-Bridges idea is just a summer brainstorm which will die with the summer recess. Simplicity and Directness The AFi Eddie Gilmore doesn't believe in making hard work of anything and the simple logic he employed in getting Generalissimo Stalin to affirm his confidence in the UN as an Instrument for peace is a good lesson in human relations. ; Gilmore, the versatile writer who a few years ago was confining hia efforts to such feature stories as the once-famous whale hunt in Sen Francisco bay, recently has faced a barrage of questions as to how he scored his last newi beat, in Moscow. Embryonic reporters as well as the public at large could not Imagine the situation other than one requiring great ingenuity in reaching Stalin at all. let alone getting exclusive answers to specific questions. But here's the way H was done: Eddie merely wrote the Questions, gave them to the wife of a Red army corporal who handed them to a soldier guarding the Kremlin gate. The en velope containing the queries was addressed merely "General issimo Josef Stalin, The Kremlin, Moscow." The replies were delivered to the AP reporter a few days later. - Intrigue, the inside track and diplomatic double-talk aren't the only weapons in the maintenance of International relations. There should be more simple and direct approaches. .Budget Director Y. Paul Appleby, named acting budget director by President Truman when Harold D. Smith resigned to become vice presi dent of the International bank, is an ex-Iowan who went to Washington with Secretary Wallace and has remained in public service most of the time since, lie is a brother of the late Frank "ppleby -who published the LaGTande Observer for several jrtsxav lit some of the late evolutions of Washington officialdom '.'Appleby .was on the outside and started to engage in the radio business, but has been assistant budget director for some time.

Thus the question naturally arises whether they j '-, really wish peace or wish to continue, the status quo as long as . possible.-' ' - f . while the Potsdam agreement (Truman, Bevin and Stalin) called for treating Germany as an economic whole.- it has never "been so treated. The U. S., Ruian and British zones function as entities, and there Is no exchange of production to or from the Rus aian zone, which is surrounded by the iron curtain. The British have delivered some coat to the French, but not enough, and they have not kelped the Americans feed the German population in the American one. - " ' ' i Mr. Byrnes wants a qS&derated 'Germany and a central govern- .

The Bible in Judges VII has the story of a precedent case. When Joshua led the children of Iraet in an attack on Ai following his cap ture of Jericho, he took a bad beating. Joshua was discouraged and asked the Lord if he had brought; the' Israelites' over the Jordan to be destroyed by the Amorites. The Lord replied that "Israel hath sinned" .so Joshua set about making an investigation. He called up one Achan and told ham he better make confession, and Achan told this story: "I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel and thus and thus have I dne: "When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight and I coveted them and took them; and behold they are hid in the earth isf the midst of my tent and the silver under it."

Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt an nounced that the state will offer in the next 18 months at least 3,00)0.000 feet of timber "urgent ly needed" In the home building program. Washington state, under its constitution, must sell its timber to the highest bidder at public auction. Identical Ue bids would invalidate a salt. Under OPA ceilings the State has been get ting tie bids fur its offerings. To offset this the state pro poses, with help from NHA, to offer timber in such quantities that the amounts tied up by iden tical bids will be relatively small. The NHA announcement said It will aid in stepping up timber appraisals so that 1.000.000.000 feet can be offered this year and the remainder in 1947. Market Suffers Sharp Slump NEW YORK.
