It appears in the cur rent issue of the U. S. News and World Report. Byrnes discusses not only the law but the sociology involved in the segregation Issue ano comes up with the declaration: the Supreme Court must , be curbed. "Power," says Byrnes, "intoxicates men. It is never volun tarily surrendered. It must be taken from them.'- The method he points to is the provision in the constitution giving Congress t h c power to regulate the appellate jur isdiction of the Supreme Court. From another quarter comes an attack on the Supreme Court. Sen. Joe McCarthy is unhappy because in the case of Pennsylvania, vs Sieve Nelson the high court de cided, six to three, that the federal government had preempted the field of security legislation.

Staff Writer, The Statesman Some 30,(XK) Marion County voters, including James Douglas McKay and Elmo Smith, are scheduled to go to polls Friday in the first serious test of new election laws which require each voter to sign his name to two poll lxxiks. Both McKay, seeking the Republican nomination for . U. S. Senate after serving as governor and Secretary of Interior, and Gov. Smith are scheduled to vote early in their precincts, both to avoid any rush and because of afternoon and evening commitments later. County Clerk Henry Mattson, who Tuesday night held a school tor election board workers in hopes of speeding up the voting process, rated the two candidates voting plans as good advice and gave out a list of 17 precincts he rated "critical" in the balloting scheme. Considerable slowing of voting processes is expected be cause of the poll book signing whioh serves as a certificate that the voter is a resident of the precinct where he is voting. A February school bond election where poll books were signed caused long waiting lines at the close of the election day. ( ) YTr5(H) Voters-iuJJ Precincts Gov Smith, who is seeking nomination for governor, also urged voters to cast their ballots early to help relieve the usual late congestion of the larger precincts. He and Mrs. Smith will vole at Salem Memorial Hospital, polling place lor precinct 12 in Salem, about 9 a m. The 17 priority precincts, led by suburban No. 48 with 770 registered voters, each have over 500 voters eligible for the Friday election. They are: No. 3, Four Square Church at 19th and Breyman Sts., 536 voters; 12, Salem Memorial Hospital, 500; 32, Interstate Tractor, 2355 Silvcrton Kd., 566; 41, new Saleway Store, S. Commercial St., 5-78; 206, Cole residence, 1150 Evergreen Ave., 695; 208, Western Security Bank, Candalaria Shopping Center, 48, Salem Hcichts Community Hall. 770: 52. Fairview Home, 613. No. 55, Four Corners School, 657; 61, Capitol Rcating Co., 3480 Silvcrton Rd.; 66, Sweglc School, 504 ; 75, Weeks Berry j Warehouse, 3495 N. River Rd., 521; 118, City Hall, Mt.

McKay to Wait Count in Portland w McKay will vote in a less crowded precinct, No. 24, at Salem Friends Church nearby his Jerris Street home. He and Mrs. McKay are expected to vote about 10:30 a.m., just before leaving lor Portland where they will await the election day results Friday night. The McKay campaign against Philip Hitchcock, "former state jenator, for the Senate nomination, coupled with several city money measures and a county zoning bill are expected to draw a larger turnout for Marion County than the state at large. Predictions see around 60 per cent of the county's 47,349 voters showing up at the polls. Estes to Pick Up Campaign Trail in Mid-Valley Today Sen.
