. Criticising the Court
The United States Supreme Court has long
been a target for criticism. Charged with inter
preting the U.S. Constitution, the court often must
step on toes, and when this happens, it is assailed
(depending on the period and the point of view)
as being far behind the times, or; as too leftish,
and so on and so on.
In the 1930s, for example, the liberals of the
country criticized the "Nine Old Men" for putting
the brakes on some of the social legislation of the
New Deal.
Today, conservatives condemri it for its "so
ciological" decisions, or for failing to protect
states' rights. -1
i
CURRENT criticism of the court is widespread.
In Pasadena, the chief justices of the su
preme courts of 44 of the states, by a vote of 36
to 8, accused the high court of assuming the role
of "policy-maker" rather than limiting itself to
interpreting the laws and constitution.
The resolution cited a lack of unanimity in
court decisions, and was critical of ;what it said
is an invasion of states' rights by using its judicial
power to transfer authority to the f ecfieral govern
ment. ' 1
Charles A. Sprague of Salem, a long-time ob
server of government, as an educator,1 newspaper
editor and governor of Oregon, declares the reso
lution was "exceedingly presumptuous."
Pointing out that state courts themselves fre
quently submit divided opinions, he said they
would do so even more often "if they were faced
with the constitutional issues which call for hair
line decisions."
M1
R. SPRAGUE adds:
- "The core of the
Court lately has been called on to decide an unusual
number of cases which have gripped public attention
and on which emotional attitudes have been positive.
One was the issue of school integration. Too bad that
had to be decided in a court. But that decision was
unanimous, as I hope the critical justices will rctcall.
Other decisions have dealt with Communists and svith
powers of Congress in the conduct of inquiries. The
cases arose in the period when hunting down subver
sives was in order. But both laws and procedures have
- had to square with the Bill of Rights in our constitu
tion, and it became the hard task of the Supreme Coutrt
to apply the constitutional tests. If the state justices
refer to this as a government of laws and not of merj,
I would respectfully refer them to another fundamen
tal: the rights of minorities, and the guaranties they1.
have in the Bill of Rights. Sustaining them is the high
duty of the courts, all the courts ...
"While the state justices walked around the inte
gration issue, their scolding of the U.S. Court can't
help but add some fuel to the fire now burning in the V
South, which is a defiance of the Supreme Court,, long
regarded as the sheet anchor of our liberties. Hence ,
it seems to me ill-timed as well as unjustified."
THE liberties of Americans are based solidly on I
x - f it. j? ai. - j; j i i
guarantees oi me ngnis oi uie maiviauai
not of state governments;
ernment; not even of the majority or the minori
ty, but of the individual.
If that is whittled away, all else follows.
The court's recent decisions have been based
on the philosophy that individual rights are para
mount in this free nation.
What the critics often lose sight of, in their
preoccupation with the various other things they
feel to be important, is-that the rights of individ
uals cannot successfully be divided into classes.
If they are long denied to one, then the liber
ties of all are threatened; the guarantee is no
longer effective for anyone. E.A.
Navigating y Birds
How do migratory birds find their way on the
thousands of miles they fly each spring and sum
mer? Ever since mankind first started observing
the regular flights of the birds, this has been a
puzzle.
A series of experiments conducted by a Ger
man ornithologist, E. G. F. Sauer, has revealed
that some species, at least, use an art little sus
pected in this connection celestial navigation.
rR. SAUER, writing in the Scientific American,
reports:
"Numerous theories have been x advanced in ex
planation of the remarkable ability of birds to fly
nearly halfway around the world, much of the distance
being covered at night, and yet hit their target on the
nose. Various theorists have proposed that the migra
tions were guided by the earth's magnetic field, by the
Coriolis force arising from the earth's rotation, by
landmarks, and so on. But more and more ornitholo
gists have, been driven to the conclusion that birds
must rely mainly on celestial navigation-the sun by
day and the constellations by night."
Experiments with birds bom and raised in
captivity, in closed, soundproof chambers, show
ed they had a sort of inner "clock" to tell them
the seasons of the year, although they had no ex
ternal references at all.
EXPERIMENTS with birds placed in a glass
, topped cage which showed the sky, and oth
ers with an "artificial" sky created by a plane
tarium, proved conclusively that the direction of
the birds' flight was determined by the positions
of the stars.
One of Dr. Sauer's experiments was described
this way: ,
"In one test we suddenly shifted our sky to the
longitude of Lake Balkhash in Siberia.. At first the
birds were deeply disturbed. For a full minute they
stood irresolutely. Then they turned due west, heading
directly for their usual migration starting point in
Germany."
The discoveries constitute a milestone in the
study of animal instincts. But more and deeper
mysteries remain. How can such a sophisticated
knowledge of the stars be bred into a tiny bird so
that he flies in the right direction although he's
never seen the stars before?
That is a real mystery. E.A.
matter is this: the Siupreme
not of the federal gov

To the Editor: I have cer
tainly been enjoying "Com
munications," lately. First the
one' by Floyd McCabe. Good
for him! But I would hate for
him to think he has an ex
clusive on bad roads. Try the
South Fork of Little Butte
creek. Remember the boastful
campaign advertisement that
you could "go anywhere in
Jackson Co. on a hardtop
rdad"? You can, as long as
you stay on Highways 99 and
62. The tourist that Medford
worships so will certainly get
"shook-up". if he should hap
pen to take a side trip out of
the shopping area.
Next, I enjoyed all three
communications in Sunday's
paper, especially Ivan Camp
field's on fruit-picking. So
true!
I know a family of five, all
picking pears. Between them
all, they picked as many as
182 boxes in one day at 14c
,$25.48. They could buy two
grift boxes of pears for that, I
imagine, if they didn't have
to buy school clothes for three
kids, besides eating. I also
iruagine that $25 wouldn't buy
gasoline for a "Fruit-King's"
Caidillac for a week.
iLast, but not least, I liked
Lai:ry Turner's letter on Ro
deois. So true, too. Let the
Cha'smber read that over sev
eral times. I know of dozens
of piepple who would have
liked; to have gone to the ro
deo, ; but remembered last
year, ioo well. Since it would
have tfost our family $22 to
even ijet into the bleachers,
and mot counting , refresh
ments, .we all stayed home.
Think of the attendance they
would have had if people
could afltord to go. .
What iirofits are some-one

risks his nisck for a mere $100?
Yes, I iave enjoyed the

Yes, the mystery of iniquity

Today and
Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
LAW WITHOUT POLBCY
With the schools about to
openj the country finds itself
committed to the principle of
integration. Yet there is no
policy for carrying out inte
gration. There is no policy,
there is 'no
program, no
guidance, no
rules on how
how to pro
ceed. For the
Federal gov-
ernment, 1
which has the
duty of reali
zing the prin
ciple, has ab
stained from the effort of
working out ways and means
for realizing it.
Thus, Congress has, as we
know, avoided any responsi
bility to do anything about
the problem of reconciling
the principle of integration
with the resistance of the
people and the state govern
ments in the deep south. The
courts are not really equip
ped to deal with the practical
problems of integration, as
they were exemplified during
the past year in the Little
Rock school. In reversing
Judge Lemley's order to sus
pend integration for a while,
the Circuit Court of Appeals
took the view that "it is not
the province of this court in
this proceeding to advise the
(school) board as to the means
of implementing integration
in the Little Rock school. We
are directly concerned only
with the legality of the order
under review."
.
rpHIS avoidance of the prob
lem of implementing the
principle was followed by the
President's press conference
last week in which he dis
avowed any responsibility for
dealing with the substance of
the problem. He professed to
believe that his whole duty
is to "execute" the law, leav
ing it to the court to deter
mine what the law is.
We are in a position, there
fore, where the Federal gov
ernment in all its majesty is
calling for a revolutionary
change in the social life of a
section of the country. But
the courts are unable, the
Congress and the President
are unwilling, to assume the
responsibility of dealing with
the hard substance ,- of the
problem- which is how to get
the principle accepted with
out a grave civil conflict.
The integration of the pub
lic schools of the deep South
poses the most difficult inter
nal problem which has ap
peared in this century, and
the President's conception of
his role in dealing with this
problem is so abstract, so
generalized, and so unrealis
tic that he will not even say
whether he believes in the
principle which he has used
Federal troops to enforce.
TLfR. EISENHOWER'S rea
son for refusing to say
what he thinks of the law he
is sworn to enforce is that he
"could disagree very violent
ly with a decision" but that
if he so expressed himself,
his duty to enforce the de
cision "would be much more
difficult to carry out."
This is a weird view of his
own office. If, in fact, he dis
agrees with the decision of
the court, his duty is not only
to enforce that decision but
also to propose legislation" or
a constitutional amendment
which will correct the deci
sion he disagrees with.
The notion that the Presi
dent has no duty to deal with
the substance of a great na
tional problem would have
horrified all his predecessors,
all at least since Buchanan.
MOREOVER, it is reason
ably plain from his pub
lic statement that President
Eisenhower has no clear con
ception of what is the prob
lem of enforcement that he
faces. He thinks of it as the
problem of maintaining law
and order against mob vio
lence. But that is not the
problem in Arkansas or in
Virginia or in any of the
other states of the deep
South.
In the ordinary practice of
the American system of gov
ernment, Federal troops have
been used where the state and
local authorities have not
been able to cope with vio
lence. But what we have to
day in Arkansas and else
where is the defiance of Fed
eral law, not by mobs but
by the state government,
backed by a large majority
of the qualified voters. What
happened in Little Rock a
year ago was that Gov. Fau
bus called out the National
Guard to prevent the Negro
children from entering the
school which was willing to
admit them.
THERE exists, in short, a
conflict between two sov-ereignties-between
the state
government and the Federal
government. This poses prob-

Russia, China Stepping Up
i-Tito
By K. C. THALER
UPI Correspondent
London-IUPD-Soviet Russia
and Red China have stepped
up their anti-Tito campaign
in new concerted moves to
assail Yugoslav revisionism
from within and without..,
Yugoslav reports said Mos
cow has refused to supply
wheat due under a long-standing
agreement, despite the
bumper harvest Russia is ex
pecting this year.
Red China in turn was re
ported to have cancelled con
tracts for Yugoslav tobacco,
an important export item in
Belgrade's precarious trade
balance.
Moreover, Peiping has car
ried the anti-Tito campaign
into the very heart of Yugo
slavia and, despite strong pro
tests from the Belgrade gov
ernment, has declined to halt
its propaganda war inside
Yugoslavia.
The signs were that once
again Red China was forcing
the pace in the campaign
against Belgrade with Russia
following suit.
New Phase Begins
Several fresh develooments
have marked a new phase in
the campaign which was fore
shadowed by the official com
munique issued at the end of
the Sino-Russian secret talks
in Peiping some three weeks
ago.
In outright violation of dir
lomatic privilege, the Red
Chinese Embassy in Belgrade
has recently been circulating
pamphlets in the Russian lan
guage inside, Yugoslavia
which assailed Marshal Tito
for his independent socialist
line. ,
. Yugoslavia is being bluntly
attacked in these pamphlets
for its alleged "treason" to
the Communist cause, and
Tito for having allegedly
"sold" the country for Ameri
can dollars.
The publication, named
Druzba, and printed in Peip
ing by the Chinese-Soviet
Friendship Society, has been
widely . distributed recently
throughout the country.
Protests of the Belgrade
government in Peiping have
apparently had no effect; this
was. held to reflect Peiping's
determination to carry its
campaign against revisionism
to the extreme.
Try To Embroil Russia -
The pamphlets also contain
reprints from attacks on Tito
in the official Soviet press.
This was seen as a calculated
attempt of the Peiping regime
to drag Russia into the quarrel
more deeply and-to commit
her irrevocably.
lems which go far beyond and
are quite different from, the
problems of dealing with
lawless mobs. They are prob
lems which are insoluble by
exhortation, or by Federal
injunction and law suits in
the Federal courts. For the
essential issue is the refusal
of lawful state governments
to accept the validity of a
Federal law. ,
Conflicts of this kind can
be resolved in one of two
ways. There carl be -a resort
to overwhelming force to
crush the resistance, which,
of course, is ruled out. And
there can be what is in fact
internal diplomacy negotia
tion between the Federal au
thorities and the resisting
state authorities aimed at
some kind of compact about
when, where, how much, how
fast, by what means, the prin
ciple of integration is to be
applied in the deep South.
If such a negotiation is to
take place, it will have to be
initiated by the President,
and the leading members of
Congress will have to partici
pate in it.

jr. tion of shy
ness. A rather angular, de
termined jaw puts out a bit.
He stood there, hands thrust
deep into the pockets of his
jacket, talking earnestly to a
couple of hundred silent se
rious Democrats.
He stood on nothing much
more than a soapbox, hung
with a tattered old flag and
placed on the edge of a windy
high school athletic field.
The place was Biddeford,
and for four hours' they had
waited out the afternoon for
Ed Muskie, patient women
wrapped in their Sunday
shawls, tired old men pulling
on their pipes and gangs of
children tossing balloons in
tireless, noisy exuberance.
TjINALLY, the last of the
lesser Democratic candi
dates finished and Gov. Mus
kie took up his stance on the
soapbox. r. - .
He spoke for less than 20
minutes, defending his two
term record as Governor
against the principal Republi
can charge in the campaign
so far-that he has not re
versed the economic decline
in this state.
By all the rules but one,
this 44-year-old Democratic
wonder-boy ought to be a
shoo-in on Sept. 8 when the
voters, in the last of their fa
mous September .. elections,
pick a United States Senator.
In 1956 he was elected Gov
ernor by 180,000 to 124,000.
Muskie has endless charm, in
telligence, a quiet dignity and,
by any fair yardstick, an ad
mirable record as Maine's
first Democratic Governor
since early in the New Deal.
But weighing against these
assets is a single clear liabil
ity. For an unbroken stretch
of 47 years, not one Democrat
has been elected to the United
States Senate from the state
of Maine. .
-
rTiHIS year the Republicans
4- have moved firmly to
stamp out the seeds of party
disharmony that were scatter
ed ' in 1952 when Frederick
Payne, the incumbent Repub
lican Senator running against
Muskie, beat Owen Brewster
for the Republican Senatorial
nomination. Brewster's pres
ent contribution to the new
unity of the Republican Party
must be treated in a separate
report, along with Payne's un
fortunate loan of $3,500 from
Bernard Goldfine, the friend
of Sherman Adams and most
everyone else.
Muskie has not mentioned
Mr. Goldfine or the $3,500 i
his campaign against Payne
and has no intention of doing
so, but it already is the chief
unspoken issue of the cam
paign. For one, Muskie thinks
mmwrnVt
ling much of its exports to
Communist camp nations.
The Russians, inturn, were
said to be refusing to supply
some 200,000 tons of wheat
which they undertook to de
liver annually to the Yugo
slavs under a long standing
agreement.
By Rowland Evans Jr.
the subject should be beneath ;
his formal notice. For another,
the reputation he has careful
ly fostered as a man of high
honor, a man above the purely
partisan dint, might tarnish if
he tried to capitalize on
Payne's use of Goldfine as a
mortgage bank.
Muskie needs Republican
votes, a lot of them, to get to
Washington. He is not going
to risk losing a single one on
any below-the-vicuna attack
on Payne.. . .
What then is Muskie's cam
paign? The answer is breath
takingly simple-a campaign
of self-exposure.
"I know there's nothing
new in this, since Kefauver's
done so much of it," he says.
"But I've decided to do a lot
of handshaking. I figure that
in the last four weeks I've
shaken 30,000 hands."
VTOT BAD when you consid
er that less than 250,000
voters turned out in the last
off-year election down here..
Muskie's policy of refusing
to engage in the personalities
of others, but spreading his
own as widely as possible, is
really the heart and soul of
his campaign for the Senate.
If you chauffeur the Gov
ernor from Biddeford, where
he spoke from the soapbox up
here to China Lake, north of
Augusta, and just let him talk,
you begin to see how he de
fied tradition and got himself
elected twice in a row as Gov
ernor. Beneath the surface
charm is a fundamental po
litical philosophy that govern
ment's obligation is to govern.
His simple charge against the
Eisenhower administration is
that instead of finding ways
to use the Federal power, the
Administration seeks ways to
avoid using it. The fact is,
however, that Eisenhower is
not really part of this cam
paign at all. The campaign is
strictly provincial. - -
When you finally pull up on
this late evening drive at a
small cabin on the edge of
China Lake, you meet the
other half of the "campaign
team," dark, vivacious and
very pretty Mrs. Muskie. Like
other wives of the new crop
of Democratic glamour boys,
she talks politics with the zest
of an old-fashioned ward
heeler.
But even with all this, Gov.
Muskie is still running against
tradition and, although the
odds and the polls are now
