Without Election Returns
Though the United States Supreme Court end
ed its recent session as a seven-man court, for
major cases, it still managed to write a productive
record.
In mid-term Justice Whittaker's retirement
made way for the appointment of Justice White,
but he could not help to decide cases where he
had not heard arguments.
Justice Frankfurter was ill during much of
the session. Me is 79 years old, and within three
vears three more Justices will reach permissible
retirement. President Kennedy may face further
responsibilities for remaking the court.
A SHORT-handed court is naturally reluctant
to establish many new precedents. On some
matters this court clung
positions. In the civil rights field, it rejected a
Louisiana nubhc school
parent artifice" against integration, and it stood
firm against bus segregation in a Mississippi
1' rcedom Ride case.
Without the presence of Justice Frankfurter,
the court did reconsider the basic issue of First
Amendment cases involving congressional wit
nesses. But the Justices over-turned contempt ci
tations of six men on the procedural ground that
the committees which questioned them did not
properly identify the subject under investigation
"VET the court did
t lnrral lanrlmarto
The decision which
tical effect came in March just before the White
appointment, but with Justice Frankfurter par
ticipating. There the court ordered a rehearing
for Tennessee urban voters who protested that
their legislature had not redistricted the state
for fiO years despite a constitutional requirement
for apportionment every 10 years.
This was the first time that the Supreme Court
had entered what it once called a "political thick
et.'' And though it did not even consider the
merits of the case, its expression of interest was
enough to make redisricting issues erupt in 30
stales.
THE court also met other new issues forth-
rightly.
It decided that a man forced to move from
his home near an airport because of low-flying
planes was entitled to damages. It held that the
federal anti-injunction law had left courts with
out power to halt strikes that violate no-strike
agreements, leaving this problem to Congress.
In ruling against Brown Shoe Company's acquisi
tion of a retail chain, the court opened the way
under a Clayton Act revision for new action
against mergers that threaten to reduce competi
tion. No doubt the most controversial decision oc
curred on the last day of the session, when the
court ruled 6 to 1 against the New York Regent's
prayer for public schools. This was a vote to
protect religion, not to oppose it.
IN ANY event, the prayer case and the Tennessee
case illustrate two constant factors in the
court's attitude toward the nation, and the na
tion's attitude toward the court.
First, this court is willing to break precedent
when there, is no other way to uphold the Consti
tution, and when no other avenue of relief from
illegal coercion is open citizens.
In the Tennessee case the protesting voters
had to go to court ; they could expect no help from
the legislature.
In the New York case, the court found its
responsibility was to confirm separation of church
and state whether or not objectors to official
prayer could establish a deprivation of liberty by
the state. This alone was a precedent in pro
cedure. CECOND, whenever the Justices establish pre-
cedent, they are bound to upset routine think
ing and to affront somebody, inside government
or out of it.
In the prayer case, the court aroused sincere
opposition from those who mistakenly believed
religion w as the target, and vociferous opposition
from a few who oppose the court for other
reasons.
It is not the court's business, however, to
"heed the election returns." Its primary duly is
to defend the Constitution, and the court some
times provokes the greatest outcry when it is do
ing that duty. History provides a better com
mentary on the court than on its relentless critics.

EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
Following a recent article
of mine on the need for basic
educational research in the
United Stites,
KrfW&Tfffi'X I received an
tj inter e s 1 1 n g
1 4j manus c r l p t
i' from Paul H.
hi uavis, a col

rffr J points out
that while
Harla
we
spend a
half-billion dollars a year In
industrial research one com
pany, Union Carbide, has
more than 1,000 men in
chemical research the Rus
sians spend very little. As a
result, our industrial prog
ress is enormous, compared
with theirs.
But jn educational research,
the opposite is true. "We In
America," says Davis, "have
but little educational research
where teams with men of
many different disciplines
work together . . . exploring
the nature of learning and
teaching."
Ruttia, h falls us, hat an
normout educational re
search system, centralized
in the Academy of Peda
gogical Sciences, with ilt
eight inttilulei in Moscow
and many branches
throughout the Soviet
Union. These inttitutet
pick the bait men in the
country, and have no
budget problems.
"Clearly Ih Soviets are
focuting thousands of qual
ity men and unlimited
funds on educational re
search," Davis observes.
"They have over 20 experi
mental schools for letting
and perfecting innovations
and inventions."
He then quotes a Kent
Slat university professor
at capsuliiing our educa
tional needti "We need
more mal teaching at lh
lementary and secondary
level, higher standard! for
both teachers and ttudentt.
many more school build
ingt, batter talariet for
our teachers but far more
important than any such
needt, we need educational
research."
By educational research is
meant "research of depth,
both empirical and rational,
conducted at many institu
tions, staffed with competent
men of diverse disciplines--psychologists,
physiologists,
sociologists, mathematicians,
physicists, chemists, biolo
gists, neurologists, and edu
cators." The method of nrgani.a-1
lion, he continues, "could j
draw heavily on the methods
used by our land-grant col- j
leges, where a trilogy of re- j
searchers, students and coun
ty agents have combined to 1
make our agricultural indus
try at the front of the
w orld."
We still know so little ;
about the learning process
that many of our billions
spent for schools are v irtually
w asted The Russions recog-
nir.e thai the investment in :
brains and learning is the
surest and most permanent
way to achieve national pro
gress. We spend extraordin
ary sums on classrooms, lab
oratories, libraries and gym
nasiums - but the processes
and goals of education are not
clearly defined or well tin- ,
drrstood We should run our
schools at least as sensibly
as Union Carhirie runs us
business.

campaign themes that might
have returned to haunt the
President. There was his con
stant chiding of President Ei
senhower for withholding a
mere stroke of the pen by
which racial segregation could
have been barred forever
from federally-aided housing.
There was the commitment
to other bold and far-reaching
civil rights action by Con
gressional legislation. Repub
lican campaigners were out
classed by Kennedy's gleam

lines. That could have been
the margin of his slim vic
tory. It is Kennedy's promise to
get the country moving, how
ever, that has Been translated
by circumstances Into a pas
sionate 1962 campaign issue.
Even the Republicans were
impressed by candidate Ken

and his early montns in of

most of a mind to give up.

Spend $1.1 Million
For improvements
Portland - Expenditure of
$1,141,200 for campground
and picnic area improvement
and construction is scheduled
on the national forests of the
Pacific Northwest Region of
the forest service this sum
mer, according to J. Herbert
Stone, regional forester.
The improvement and con
struction work continues the
work started under the "Op
eration Outdoors" program in
1958 and ended this year. The
work is designed to provide
more and better recreation fa
cilities in the national forests
to meet the growing demand
for outdoor recreation, Stone
said.
The SI. 141.200 in construc
tion and improvement funds
projected for use this year is
about $100,000 more than the
amount spent in 1961. and is
more than three times the
amount available five years
ago.
Three-Fold Increase
Recreation visits to the na
tional forests of the region
last year totalled 11.3 million.
This represents a three-fold
increase in 10 years. Stone
said.

Among these epithets have
been "unnatural marriage,"
"collective colonialism" and
"state monopoly."
Khrushchev's anger possibly

But there has developed in
the past few months a ripple
of Republican confidence that
Kennedy and the Democrats
are not unbeatable. During
Kennedy's first year of office
there was no evidence of Re
publican confidence that their
party could get up off the
floor. They had no hope. They
now have much hope and
some confidence.
The foundation for this Re
publican hope and confidence
1 began in a small way with
the disastrous attempt to in
vade Cuba. It gained when
Kennedy smote U.S. Steel.
The multi-billion dollar stock
market plunge brought a
bloom to Republican pros
pects like a transfusion of
blood.
Republican hope and confi
dence, obviously, depend on
talk and fear of a recession,
on the continued high rate of
unemployment and on the re
jection by a Democratic Con
gress of much of Kennedy's
domestic program.

POLITICAL LEADER BACK
Washington-The blunt hand
of the authentic, do-it-yourself
political leader John F. Ken-
: nedy -that
Kennedv who
is
trusts his own
il instincts and
recoils slight
ly from the
earnest do
go o d i sm of
some of his
more academic-minded
sup
porters - is back in view.
There is earthy rejoicing,
therefore, among the old regu
lar Democratic pros along the
Potomac, not to mention in
various other parts of the
country. They had feared
that lately the President had
been too much in the com
pany of - if not under the
influence of the party's wing
of egghead reformers.
They are now happy to see
that this conclusion was whol
ly premature.
These circumstances arise
from Kennedy's selection of
former Mayor Anthony Cele
brezze of Cleveland to be his
new Secretary of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare.
fPHE Celebrezze nomination
- is nne of those very rare
instances where practical par
ty politics and the public in
terest can both be reasonably
served at a single stroke. It
thus has had the extraordinary
effect of pleasing practically
everybody except the social
worker type of Democrat.
Not even the Republicans
are displeased. Though it is
true that they have no inter
est in seeing the Democrats
help themselves politically, as
r-l-u,,,,.-, ,i,n.Am.,in
background and connections
will do, thev are immensely
relieved all the same. Another
kind of appointment to
H.E.W. would have struck
real terror to their fiscally
prudent hearts.
For H E W. is in a sense the
most sensitive department in
this government. Because it is
the central welfare agency
for countless millions from
just beyond the cradle to just
short of the grave, il positive
ly invites the nomination as
, secretary of some fellow
i whose compassion for man-
kind is as inch as his respect
for budgets is low. And this
great danger is notably pres
ent in Democratic administra
tions. T'HUS, when Abraham Ribl-1

Ihe odd seemed to run
ag.unst the probability thai
twice in a row the nod wouH

It had appeared mote than
jpated in the Communist time-
table of conquest predicated
on a divided Europe.
-A real fear that tariff
walls erected by the six with

choke off the sale of Com
munist goods to Western
Europe.
-A fear of the effect on
underdeveloped countries of
the increasing flow of foreign
aid from Western Europe.
This latter point would ac-

contest of wills. This dispute
about which should first tip
his hat to the other cost the
Democrats voles and they
know it.
President Kennedy is un
able even to get the Demo
cratic Congress moving. Re
publicans have begun to cam
paign on the theme that he
can't get the country moving,
either. So the campaign is on
to turn against the Democrats
in 1962 candidate Kennedy's
best-advertised 1960 campaign
promise.
For these reasons, Republi
cans are beginning to con
vince themselves that they
have a chance this year to win
the House. If they do that,
the Republicans reasonably
might hope to lick Kennedy
in 1954. it won't be easy. He
may be the smari.-.-at poliiician
of the lot.
AH of this recalls President
Eisenhower's comment after
President-elect Kennedy's first
White House visit. Ike was
impressed by the scope and
flair of his successor. But
over a scotch and soda, he
remarked to a few friends: "I
don't believe that young man
knows what he's up against."
To that Kennedy now might
say "amen."

likely, instead, that the Presi
dent would be pressed into
entering the wild blue yonder
in his search for Ribicoff's
successor.
That this has not happened
is a source of great satisfac
tion to all who accept the
necessity for public welfare
but do not wish to see it turn
ed Into some vast house of
experimentation at heavy cost
in money - and, ultimately,
at heavy cost to sensible wel
fare programs themselves.
The Celcbrezze appointment,
that is to say, is quite simply
in the public interest.
a
TT IS also in the political in-
lerest of the Democrats -and
this, too, was most dis
tinctly in the President's
mind. For former Mayor Cele
brezze not only conies well
recommended as a practical
administrator; he is also the
first American of Italian de
scent to serve in a presiden
tial cabinet. Americans of
Italian stock for years have
been moving into powerful,
and often locally dominant,
positions in Democratic poli
tics. For years, too, however,
they have felt that they have
not had adequate national
representation, a complaint
Kennedy has now moved to
ease. The effects arc likely to
be felt as early as this fall's
congressional elections and as
distantly as the presidential
election in 1964.

tive colonialism" designed to
keep them in bondage.
On their tide, the Commu
nists are in great need of
Western Industrial equipment
which they can purchase only
with hard Western currencies.
Only in this way can they ful
fill their ambitious plans for
industrial expansion.
It is also true that the Com
munist - bloc nations depend
more upon the West than the
West upon them. Poland, for
example, counts on Western
Europe for nearly a quarter of
its foreign trade. West Ger
many on the other hand sends
only one-twentieth of its for
eign trade product to the Com
munist nations.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara has announced
a long range plan to cut al
most in half the drain on U.S.
dollars caused by servicemen
and their dependents over
seas. He tells a news confer
ence that a $900 million cut
will be achieved by trimming;
military purchases abroad,
largely In Europe, and by
stimulating foreign purchase
here.
He adds:
"Study projects have been
launched aimed at reducing
U.S. support troops in Eu
rope, eliminating some mili
t a r y headquarters overseas
. . . and cutting the U.S.
share of payments for NATO
joint facilities."
COMMENT?
Well, it does look as if
it's getting about time for
Western Europe to shoulder
a bigger share of the burden
of its own protection. After
World War II. we helped our
friends and allies in Western
Europe to get back on their
feet by means of the Marshall
plan. For that, we have no re
grets. It was what we should
have done, and we did it. Un
der similar circumstances,
we would do it again.
But Western Europe is now
highly prosperous, and is far
less debt-ridden than we are.
It's hard to escape the con
clusion that it has reached
the point where it could af
ford to carry a much larger
share of the cost of its own
defense.
tfROM Chicago:
- Mrs. Gladys Burton was
standing at a counter in her
office the other day counting
money when a man walked
in with a brown bag under
his arm and handed her a
note saying the bag contained
explosives which would be
detonated if she failed to hand
over the cash.
Mrs. Burton looked up and
said to him: "YOU'RE NUTS:"
The man fled.
ABOUT 200 years ago, Aar
on Hill wrote thii little
jingle:
"Tender-handed stroke
nettle.
"And it stings you for youf
pains:
Grasp it like a man nf
mettle
"And it soft as silk re
mains." 1WRS.
BURTON tried his ad-
1UV
ice.
It worked.
If more people followed the
same advice, there would be
less trouble in the world.
