WASHINGTON. 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

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

stricted to Roosevelt's friends.. 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.

of price administration in Ari
zona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and
New Mexico, and in El Paso and
Hudspeth counties In Texas.
The action, which establishes
prices at levels set up last Feb

duction in the price to the farm
er, the OPA declared.
, The maximum price for un

is $20 a ton. Slightly higher
prices are permitted for hay that
is graded by a 'state or federal
Inspector, except grade No. 2
which is also $20 a ton.
