years earlier in the Commu

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

In the course of his opine

is a worthy objective bit it i
unnecessary to sacrifice vitfLJ

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.

End Clearly in Sight
But the end of this second
session of the 85th Congress
was clearly in sight. Adjourn

tween Aug. 2 and 16. And it
was "the sooner the better"
for House and Senate-mem

Behind the Democratic-controlled
Congress was a record
of having already passed such
important measures as state
hood for Alaska, $5,500,00Oi

000 -housing programs; a 50
per cent extension of unem
ployment insurance payments;
an atomic information ex
change plan; postal, military
and civil service pay increase
bills; corporate and excise tax
extension; and others.
Defense Bill Waits
Ahead in the next four to
six weeks was the task of com
pleting action on four major
defense bills, farm and addi
tional housing measures, the
administration's five-year Re
ciprocal Trade Extension Act,
the final foreign aid appro
priation, two big public works
bills, a civilian space agency,
an education science - scholar
ship plan and some form of
labor legislation to name
only the most important.
A last-minute possibility,
reported during the week end
to be brewing in the House,
was a bill to provide an election-year
boost in Social Se

By DAYTON MOORE

Washington (UPI
Backstairs at the White
House:
President Eisenhower is
taking a personal hand in
teaching his ' 10-year-old
grandson, David Eisenhower,
to play golf. The last two
week ends they have spent
at Gettysburg, Pa., the Presi
dent had David play with
him on the local country
club's " nine-hole course.
k Thi usual pattern for their
trips to the club have been
for David to take a lesson
from the club professional,
Dick Sleichter, while the
President played the course
for the first half of an 18
hole round. David then join
ed the President for the fi
nal nine, playing most of it
under his grandfather's en
couraging coaching such as
"keep the old head down."
Grandfather E i s e nhower
doesn't confine his coaching
on the links entirely to golf
either. They alternate in driv
ing the President's electric
golf car. And the President
has been heard frequently
giving David specific instruc
tions on how to drive it.

Three Oakland Residents Killed In Plane Crash
Richmond. Calif. (UPI)
An Oakland steel executive,
his wife and their teen-age
son were killed Sunday night
when their light plane crash
ed and exploded on the mud
flats near Golden Gate fields
race track.
The victims were:
Frank Skoubye, 42, Oak
land, co-owner of the Gil-more-Skoubye
Steel Contrac
tors company; Anna Mae
Skoubye, 41, his wife; and
Jeffrey Skoubye, 15, their
son.
The family was returning
home after a holiday week
end in Salt Lake City and
Reno when the engine of
their single - engine Beach
craft Bonanza began sputter
ing. The plane crashed into shal
low water 100 feet off Point
Isobel at 8:45 p.m., scattering
debris for 300 feet along the
shore. The three passengers
were killed instantly.
A witness, Harvey Asp,
Albany, said he saw the
plane crash from his yard.
Engine Sputtering
"It came over Albany hill
and I could hear the engine
sputtering badly," Asp said.
"It looked as though the pilot
was trying to make a forced
landing along the shore.
"The plane hit the water
once, bounced into the air,
then crashed back' into the
water and exploded."
Only a few minutes before
Skoubye had called into the
CAA control tower at Oak
land Municipal airport for
landing instructions. He gave
no indication of trouble. Skou
bye was an experienced pilot.
The Skoubyes leave a 17-year-old
daughter, Karen,
who spent the holiday week
end at Lake Tahoe, rather
than accompany her family to
Salt Lake City where Skou
bye's mother lives.
