SHOULD ONE-TIME COM MUNIST PARTY MEMBER SHIP BAR SAM FROM PRACTICE? : Sam, a World War II vet eran, was denied the oppor iunity to qualify for the prac tice of law in New Mexico bee cause of membership some 15 years earlier in the Commu jiist party. The evidence show. ed him to be a man of high ideals ith a deep sense of 'social justice. In 1957 the United States Supreme Court, on review, unanimously held that a denial of Sam's right to take the bar examination was a denial of due process of law under the 14th Amnd- o A "1 - V I i if Ms? xik ment. In a related case, th Com mittee of Bar Examiner of California refused to certify Tom to practice law because he had refused to ansfer questions as to wheHier he had ever been a rrfenfcer oi the Communist parte?

It is important to both society, and the btr it self that lawyers be unintimi dated free to think, spot.) and act as memberscpf gn in depegdent bar." Barrage of Attack ; These and other recent 8e cisions of the Supreme Court have resulted in a barrage of & attacks on the Court, in reac tion against the Court's al leged trend toward liberal de cision. Within the last month, a Senate committee approved a bill which would restrict the powe of the Court in sev eral . directions. Among other things, the bill would bar the Court from reviewing cases involving state requirements for admission to the bar. ' The" present criticism of the Supreme Court is the most pronounced attack upon' that body since the early 1930s. The New Deal assault of a generation ago was prompted bya belief that the Court was lagging behind public opin ion and standing in the way oi progress. The current as lault is unique in that the court, traditionally themost conservative of the three urancnes or. government, is thought to be racing too far ahead of public opinion.
