The su preme court took the wisest wy out In that New York state employment Insurance decision. tunned. The court has never handed down an equally divided decision In such an Import ant case. There was no obvious rea son 'for doing It this time. Absent Justice Stone was really not so 111 that he could not have partici pated In an urgent decision. Even If he was, the court could have waited a few days until he got better. But that course wotild have publi cized the division of the court. It would have meant another B to 4 de cision, with -lengthy argumentative majority and minority opinions. Edi torial commentators could have pounded their smoking typewriters until the Judment of all, Including the commentators, was asphyxiated. This way, there Is nothing to com ment about. No opinions were offer ed. Not even the actual division of the court was made public. And the state Insurance law stands upheld, as It would have stood had there been all the fanfare of a customary decision. Thus did the court demonstrate not only Judicial, but executive, ca pacity. No inside Information la needed on the division of the justices. The way they voted was obvious to any close follower of the court. But If anyone bad obtained any Inside Information, It would have shown the following Upholding DlMentlnjt Justices Hughes, Justices Vandevanter, Roberts. ' Butler. Brsndela, " MoReynolds, H Cardoza " Sutherland Furthermore, If Justice Stone bad been polled at home, he would have been found with the upholders of the employment Insurance act, thus creating a A to 4 majority for the state law. - Borne win say this line-up means a shift within the court. They will interpret the rote of Justice Roberts as an Indication that he has left his four dissenting compatriots and cre ated a majority out of the minority formerly composed of Justices Hugh es, Brandels. Cardoza and Stone. This Is assuming too much. Rob erts voted with his new associates Sn the New York milk case and sev eral others last season.
