S. Court Delays Decried By Roscoe Drummond Written Especially for The Christian Science Monitor Washington The functioning of the federal courts has been deteriorating for a number of years. It isn’t the quality of justice which is strained; it is the courts which are strained by the work load. And the litigant, who could be any of us, is caught in the middle of excruiating, mount ing wasteful delays. These delays are not merely inconvenient. Delays of a year to four years in getting a case tried in a federal court now are so com mon that they are a source of postive injustice—unfair to the public, hurtful to the judiciary, and unnecessary. The situation is getting worse, not better, and nothing adequate is being done about it. Year after year after year, almost without in terruption for the past 15 years, the unfinshed case load of the fed eral courts has increased, new civil cases almost constantly exceeding those terminated. There have been a few spotty improvements, but in most districts the problem is critical bordering on the desperate. The immediate reason why this condition continues is that Con gress does not provide the judicial manpower to cope with the increas ing volume of litigation. Our society is more complex, our federal laws are more numerous and complex. The need for efficient justice is constantly greater. Today Congress appropriates for the running of the whole judicial system about what it costs to build a light cruiser. * * * * But what iies behind this congressional negleU of the courts? Why isn’t Congress more responsive to the needs of the judiciary? It certainly isn’t from lack of recommendations from the judicial con ference or from the Department of Justice. It isn't congressional perverseness, I am sure. Congress is itself, often harried, sometimes overworked—and never feels the hot breath of public criticism when it puts off aagin and again dealing with the courts. What is lacking is an informed and aroused public opinion which Congress could not safely turn aside. There is one »imp’,e, important, ■■u eitmnaoie step which could be taken to* help create « public opinion. That would be to turn the spotlight of national attention an nually upon the accomplishments and operating difficulties of the judicial branch of the government by having the Chief Justice of the United States address a joint session of Congress on the needs of the judiciary. This proposal has had an able and persistent advocate during the ! past year in Assistant Attorney General William P. Rogers. It has i been endorsed by the American Bar Association and has the unani mous approval of the judicial conference. Judge Parker of the Fourth Circuit has put it this way: “Congress must provide the funds and pass the laws necessary for the proper administration of justice. It is important that it be advised correctly as to what funds and what laws are necessary for that pur pose; and there can be no better way for this to be done than for the Chief Justice, who as chairman of the Judicial Conference of the United States knows better than anyone else the needs of the judiciary, to lay these before Congress in joint session. In this way, not only would all members of Congress be fully advised of the needs, but the public presentation by the Chief Justice would attract the attention of the citizenship at large to the work that the judiciary is doing and the importance of giving it adequate support.” Public and professional reaction to this proposal has been almost entirely favorable. But three objections have been raised, and they should be looked at. It has been suggested that the appearance of the Chief Justice be fore Congress might tend to impair the independence and impartiali ty of the judiciary. The Chief Justice is the head of the judiciary conference and as such is required by law to submit an annual report to Congress. For him to do it in person would simply enable him to discharge his duty more effectively and enhance both congressional and public awareness of the requirements of the courts. It has been suggested that the Chief Justice might not year after year have sufficiently important developments to report to justify an address before a joint session. I think that most congressmen and most citizens would value hearing the Chief Justice once a year. But if the arguement had validity, one solution would be to make the invi tation permissive, not mandatory. It has been suggested that since no Chief Justice has ever address ed Congress, it should not be started. The answer to that is that if tradition does not serve its purpose, it should be broken, not preserved. "We cannot,” says Assistant Attorney General Rogers, “permit the legitimate needs of the judiciray to go unattended because they are presented in such form and manner that they miss the mark.” * * • • One can understand how Congress, preoccupied writh many press ing things, is fairly causual about how it responds to the appeals of the judges. But Congress would not be casual about responding to the appeals of an informed public opinion to bring justice up to date. A personal report from the Chief Justice—who would have to be in vited by Congress—would put the needs of the courts on the front pages, where it is obvious they will have to be if anything adequate is to be done to bring justice up to date. Doctor Who Never Practiced, Dies At 102 Washington, D. C. (CNS) Dr. James Eduard Simpson, who had a degree from Louisville Medical College though he uever practiced medicine, died at his Washington home this week at the age of 102. Born in 1854 in Brownsville, Pa., Ui» Negro doctor's father was a riverboat steward and he himself studied r‘ Pittsburgh ami Wilber* i-'*rCe Universities before he came to Howard University in 1877. He earned his medical degree at Louisville Medical College and claimed that he didn't practice medicine because he was only in terested in the knowledge to at tend his own family. He became a teacher instead and taught latin. In 1925 Dr. Simpson was the first teacher in the public school system of Louisville to be retired. On celebrating his 100th birthday, his hearing and eyesight were excellent and he knew the Bible well from memory. He lived by the verse: "What man of you would live long and see many days, let him keep his lips from evil and his tongue from speaking guile." ^■gpl I Nobody/m ine comple: question is whe* department heads knowledge to give the Pre9Tfm^B|| Mr. Eisenhower obviouslydoSB broadened the regular “Cabinet” to^l of which, at any rate, is just about as important as the old-fashio%i Cabinet. It is queer how little the average citizen knows of functic al changes of this sort. * * * * To go back a bit, it was Franklin Roosevelt who set up whafr; called “the executive office of the President" in 1939. This wa/i landmark in the trend to institutionalize the job of executive manage ment. It gave the President six executive assistants with “a passkn for anonymity. Luther Gulick, one of the inventors of the sySttjft called it a nearly unnoticed but none the less epoch-making ev^t in the history of American institutions." The head of this White House executive office staff, Sherman Adams, sits in at Cabinet meetings. Mr. Eisenhower has broadened attendance at Cabinet meetings jto include others. Philip Young, chairman of the Civil Service Co|n mission, Harold E. Stassen, the President’s adviser on disarmament and Henry’ Cabot Lodge, the administration’s representative at the United Nations, customarily join the “Cabinet.” The President has instituted greater formality of procedure. Before the Friday morning Cabinet meeting a formal agenda is prepared by Maxwell M. Rabb, for mer Boston lawyer. Machinery also has been established to follow through Cabinet discussions to see that decisions are put into effect. * * * * But the cozy Cabinet o fthe Lincoln era is hardly adequate to cover the enlarged range of presidential responsibilities today. There is now, for example in addition, the National Security Council. This was set up by Harry S. Truman in 1947. Mr. Eisen hower has enlarged and strengthened it. Part of the NSC member ship is interchangeable with the regular Cabinet. It specializes in the whole broad field of foreign and military affairs. The Secretaries of State and Defense attend; so do the President and Vice-President, and the director of the Office of Defense Mobiliza tion. It has a permanent staff headed by an executive secretary, James S. Lay, Jr. The council often is joined by members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of the Treasury, and others. Foreign affairs are, of course, vastly more important than half a century ago. This means that the NSC deals with a crucial phase of policy while the regular Cabinet pretty much confines itself to the problems of the country at home—political and administrative. Mr. Eisenhower has various sets of technical advisers in particular fields. The three-man Council of Economic Advisers, for example, watches the national economy, employment, living costs, and pros perity, the Bureau of the Budget has the tremendous job of trying to balance income with outgo, and deciding on agency appropriations. The Cabinet composed of department heads has been around a long while and is not an institution likely to be disposed of. It has I sentiment and history on its side. But it is in the course of evolution. Already it has lost some of its importance to other groups. The steady growth of presidential responsibilities almost certainly means further changes ahead. Highways for the Nation By now Senate^ and House conferees will likely have reconciled differences on ways of imposing additional taxation for the multi billion-dollar road program. And what is perhaps the most ambitious and tremendous peacetime project in American history will shortly come before Congress for final passage. The last major difference has been resolved rightly, in o^r opin ion. That is to bas» diKirihution «os.oou,ooo.oqo the government s 90 per cent share of the cost of the 41,000-mile national highway network—on the relative size, population, and length of rural mail routes of each state. This seems far sounder than the other method voted by the House: accepting the states’ own estimates of costs. This formula would have put states under temptation to boost their shares by refraining from “sharpening their pencils”. In the long run, no doubt, federal-state sharing will have to meet what experience proves the roads actually cost. And the conference compromise may prove a wise one in limiting the plan of distribution to three years. The money released, in effect, to the states by so large a federal assumption of the cross-country network’s cost should now be used to relieve congestion in and around metropolitan areas. Otherwise each such bottleneck could nullify quite a little accomplished by the width and straightness of the open road. In fact, the whole vast project must be thought of as amenable to continual updating. One needs only to glance back 10 years to realize that yesterday’s thoroughfare may seem like a winding country road tomorrow. Strawberry PicTwitli Sweetenedjjjp Condensed Milk for Year Round Serving ' THE short, short season for ripe red strawberries must once have been greeted with Impatient delight by the lovers of this fragrant red fruit. Now, of course, we have strawberries In June and strawber ries in December, and in all the months in between, both fresh and froien. Modern means of transpor tation and methods of growing and processing have made this favorite berry available the year around. Here. then. Is a pie recipe for your year-round file. It Is made failure proof by the use of sweet ened condensed milk, which gives It, too, a smooth creamtneas and perfect cutting texture. And It Is uncooked, ao it is a perfect dessert for a warm day. The crust may be baked ahead of time, or It may be made of cookie crumbs. Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie t baked 9-Inch pie shell or cookie crumlvcrust t's cups (15-os can) sweetened condensed milk cup lemon Juice 1 package (J-os.) cream cheese 2 eggs, separated 4 tablespoons sugar l cup sliced strawberries, with whole berries tor garnish Put sweetened condensed milk and lemon Juice In bowl and stir until mixture thickens.

IT’S YOUR MOVE Here Are Money Savers Good News-Plus Warning Sometime in the next few days Congress is going to raise the debt limit temporarily once more. But there is good news in the fact that this year the administration has asked for only half the boost voted in each of the last two years. This time a temporary lift of $3,000,000,000 will enable the government to get by until the spring flood of income-tax collections comes again. Indeed, the Treasury expects to close the current fiscal year on June 30 with a $1,800,000,000 surplus. There is good hope that this can be used to cut the national debt below its current $273,000,000,000. That will be moving in the right direction—toward using boom-time surpluses to balance deficits which may be necessary in poorer years. For still another reason it is wise to make a payment on the debt instead of wiping out the surplus with a tax cut. For the prospect is that federal costs will continue to rise in the next few years. Certain ly there should be continued pressure for economy. But the American people are demanding more sendees, and things such as school aid and road-building will add to outgo. If prosperity is maintained and the national economy continues to expand, tax revenues will rise. We must hope that they will per mit further debt reduction, so that temporary increases in the debt ceiling will not be necessary. But careful estimates warn us that as costs are now moving this surplus could be the last for some time, and citizens had better enjoy that comfortable feeling while they can. The Last Word By Elizabeth Davis Pittman One of the most important' meetings of the decade sounded1 the gavel for adjournment on Sunday, July 1, 1956 when the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People blasted its last bigot. Why is this meeting to be remembered? Why ! was it so important? It was im portant because Alabama and Louisiana have tried to declare the N.A.A.C.P. illegal within their boundaries while Mississippi has attempted to belittle the import of the organization, the organi zation and its sympathizers as well by setting up a unique “tat tle tale” spy system which will gnaw at the core of the group until it has about as much impact and effectiveness as a well plan ned lawn social. The halls of justice will resound when the case involving the injunction in Alabama is tried. We have al ready quivered with fear, appre hension and horror at what hap pened in Louisiana when the or ganization was declared illegal. What could be more tyrannical than to deny freedom of associa tion and the right to try legiti mate grievances in the attempt to gain the dignity entitled to all men? This organization known as the N.A.A.C.P. is important to the American Negro for two reasons. It doctors his state of mind hy keeping him informed, vigilant and militant. The frame of mind of the individual is all-important in his quest for equality. We are beginning to realize that the psychological approach is more and more the answer to our racial problem. Th<-.' *"“'t ' they are equal, that they deserve the same opportunities as all other peoples. For generations there has been the partially suc cessful attempt to instill in the Negro, as a race, the feeling of inferiority and dependency, the subconscious fear that they can not do this, that they must not do that; and that if they attempt, they will be met with failure. The Negro is at the place where noth ing beats a trial but a failure. The Negro must defeat his de featist attitude. Secondly, the organization is interested in the general estab lishment of full citizenship rights for the Negro. The Negro, after the Civil War, was awarded his freedom. Naive, unprepared and trusting, they were easy prey for the carpetbaggers, who chose to exploit them for their own selfish interests. By the time the Negro had acquired sufficient experi ence to separate the wheat from the chaff, the harm had been done, and all means were being taken to deprive them of their newly gained rights. Since that day, they have had to fight anew —they have seen rights given to those who are, historically, less deserving than the Negro. The Negro has been deprived of prop erty rights—which rights have been returned via the Supreme Court, he has journeyed to Wash ington, D. C., the capitol of the nation and has seen, in some in stances, such discrimination as is experienced in the more back ward sections of the South. The Negro has been deprived of nu merous civil rights which can only be regained by legal prosecution, one of the tasks of the N.A.A.C.P. and a responsibility which it is anxious to shoulder—much to the woe of the deep South. The securing of the entity known as the “whole citizen” is Mil th«. OHfinni-yition manifested m the N.A.A.C.P., it is the hope of the many people who are dealing with the prob lems of discrimination in the pres ent and who are looking into the future. Let us hope that this dream will become an actuality. -1_ Seein' Stars By Dolores Calvin New York (CNS) Rose Morgan Louis is back on the job at her stunning Rose Morgan House of Beauty in New York_Mrs. Louis had been suffering from nervous 1 exhaustion and was warned by her doctor to take it easy.. .Now the bride of Joe Louis is slowing down considerably though it’s difficult with two careers under the same roof.

This appalling fact comes from the Nebraska Heart Association, which reports that there are ap proximately 7,000 deaths annually from these diseases compared to 2.290 War fatalities. In fact, heart deaths in just four of Nebraska’s largest coun ties—Douglas, Lancaster, Scotts Bluff, and Hall—exceed the last War’s deaths by almost 150. “But heart research, including Heart Fund-supported studies at Nebraska’s two medical schools, is making remarkable advances and saving thousands of lives,” says an Association spokesman. “Today some forms of heart dis ease can be prevented and a few can be cured. Almost all cases can be helped by proper treat ment, especially if started at an early stage,” he continues. To help fight the main types of heart trouble caused by high blood pressure and hardening of arteries, the Nebraska Heart As sociation is doubling its research budget and increasing by 25% its program to keep doctors a breast of the latest advances. “Nebraskans can join this fight by guarding their own hearts J.
