June X8 The supreme court is running around in legal circles Which seem to devolve deeper and deeper. The contusion oi taw has been engendered by its hard fought, close decisions first caused weary head shaking In the legal profession. Now it is getting chuckles. What would have happened if FDR's court-packing bill had been adopted, and he had ap pointed IS justices instead of 7, is an interesting thought to toy with. Justice then prob ably would have been meted -v m MALL ON out 8 to 7. On soma legally confusing occasions, the court has ruled that what it decided was justice short time ago is no longer constitu tional, but the opposite is. In a Pennsylvania school case in 1940, it held (8 to 1) school children could be required to salute, the flag, but, in a West Virginia case, it reversed itself (6 to S) and decreed the op posite. It has unrelentingly held racketeering is a crime for all citizens unless they belong to a labor union, and has now (May 10) given the federal communications commission the right to determine the contents of radio program! (possibly also of what goes over wires to news papers). Frequently, it has denied petitions for re views and then, on a rehearing petition, re versed itself and granted, reviews. . The only explanation is that this 7 to 2 New Deal court is volatile and changeable. Apparently, some justices "will even vote one , way in conference and then, on reflection, ..change sides. The other day in a narcotics case, the written opinion announced dissents by two justices. But when reporters inquired for the dissent ing opinions, they were informed no dissent had been filed. The court may have been reformed political ly, but legally, it is now mora in need of reform than before. Monopoly Holds rE McKellar bill whopped it way fast through the senate upon the wings of expectation that it would break up the Frankfurter-Mrs. Roosevelt-I opkins monopoly over Hew Deal patronage, but it is not likely to bring that result any time soon. For one thing, the bill must now pass the house, and the house members were left entire-. ly out of the McKellar plan of awarding good government jobs (above $4500 a year). The bill requires senate confirmation of such ap pointees. In practice. It would therefore cause Mr. Roosevelt to ascertain whether appointees are acceptable to senators from the same locality a the appointees. The whole senate would be given- the opportunity to turn down ap pointee whose chief claim, to fame. and ex perience is a Harvard law degree, or a career ef working in some social service. Also, such officials now holding jobs would hereafter have to be more polite to senator and refrain from arousing their ire in any Blatter of government policy. These would be the practical effects of the legislation. General feeling against the typical New Deal er in office is stronger in the house than in the senate, but the chances of the bill passing tha lower chamber are obviously impeded by the senate assumption of authority in this pa tronage matter for itself. The house would get none of the gravy. This naturally lessens It interest in the McKellar reform. Civil Service Safe A FAIR, objective analysis would Insist that Mr. Roosevelt's fears that the bill would break down the civil service system are un " founded, as it specifically is not to apply to any civil service appointee or anyone in the White House or FBI. From the standpoint of altruism, a standpoint from which no one on any side around here Is looking at the proposal, the bill might not make appointments any' better, but it would certainly make them different Basically, it would just give the senators' friends a chance, which now is exclusively re Malta Mr. Russell Durkee, who Is spending several weeks In San Francisco with her husband's mother, is expected home in the Dear future.

The friends of senators might not be much more astute, but they certainly would wear a different school tie. More important, Mr. Roosevelt would veto the bill, and it could not pass over a veto in either house. Thus the existing patronage situation will no doubt continue to the" end of time or Roosevelt, whichever occurs first. The War Today Br MAX HILL THERE is a significance not too easily noted in the brief communiques and dispatches on the tremendous air battle over Guadalcanal, which was announced yesterday by the United States navy. The Japanese, in my opinion, finally are on the defense in that area. That was our role for many long weary months. But this time it was the Japanese who were trying to check an American advance. That they consider the situation important and perhaps critical is shown by the fact that they used at least 120 fighters and bombers in their desperate and futile assault The results, as announced in navy communi ques and in dispatches from the South Pacific, toss a lie right back into the teeth of Premier Tojo and the Japanese propagandists. Poorly Trained N IN RECENT weeks, Tokyo broadcasters, have been informing their people at home, and also the world by short wave, that most of the American airmen in. the Pacific were college boys without adequate training. Well, 32 Japanese dive bombers and. 45 Zero fighters were shot down in the fierce engage ment, as compared with a loss of six American fighters. That's 13 to one and heaven help the Japanese if we ever get what they would call a properly trained airforce in the South Pacific. The reason for the battle was not disclosed for many hours, but by combining information in the dispatches from Leif Erickson, The As sociated Press correspondent at an advanced South Pacific base, and statements from Tokyo in a broadcast recorded by The Associated Press in London, it can be inferred that a rather large Allied convoy was the Japanese objective. Attack Convoy TOKYO said eight vessels, one a destroyer, were sunk, but this was not confirmed by an Allied source. The loss of 29 planes also was admitted. On the other hand. Erickson in his dispatches filed not far from the scene of the engagement said only two small freight ships were damaged. While Guadalcanal is some 8000 mile from the main Japanese island of Honshu, it is evi dent the Rising Sun forces fear the concentra tion of power there because of our proximity to. bases and airfields they have elsewhere in that area. One of the main, and still unexplained phases of the battle, is how our forces were able to inflict such tremendous damage with so light a loss in men and equipment. Were They Surprised? XAERE the Japanese surprised as they came YY in high over the area by a stronger force than they expected, or did the planes come, say, from a direction not counted on when the Japanese planned their attack? In the past the Japanese have depended upon the maneuverability of the Zeroes' and their ability to fly almost six miles above the earth to ward off attacks. They have been at'least moderately successful, although in most combats their losses have been, greater than our own. That strategy didn't work this time for a rea son yet to be explained. But never has the ratio been, anything like 13 to one. It isn't likely we have any accurate count on the number of first-line pilots the Japanese have available, but I doubt that they are able to train men as rapidly as we are. This Is true despite the use of modern American equipment brought a few years before the 'war. American airmen back from the pacific, who once admitted the skill of the Japanese pilots they fought, now say that the first line men are gone and that the enemy pilots they are engaging are second-raters.
