NOTES AND COMMENTS
Hard work may not kill anybody, but, oc
casionally, it sure wears one down.
Culture, when you boil it down, is the art of
being unselfish some of your time.
COURT AGAIN CRITIZED
The cricism of the Supreme Court from the
American Bar Association, at its recent meet
ing- Chicago, is the latest evidence that the
highest court of the land is seriously out of step
with the vast majority of legal experts in the
United States today.
The latest critism, concerning Supreme Court
decisions favorable to Communists, follows a
repudiation of tthe top court by the Supreme
Court Justices of the various states. It also fol
lows criticisms made by the Governors of the
various states.
Considering, also, the fact that many of the
controversial decisions differ from the tradition
al concepts of past Supreme Courts, one won
ders what further evidence be needed to prove
ihe case against the present top court - the
charge that judicial training and experience is
lacking and needed among the Big Nine.
Congress, and the President, should see to it
that qualifications for membership on the top
court are carefully raised. For example, there
.si little in the present pplan of bestowing Su
preme Court appointments as political plums
to commend itself.
Just, as Chief Justice Earl Warren won his
appointment because of his part in getting the
California delegat.es at the 1952 Republican
convention to support Mr. Eisenhower, other
inexperienced men, have won seats on the high
court as a “payoff” for some political service
rendered to the right person at tthe right time.
To be a Supreme Court Justice one should
Have judicial training on a high level over a
number of years. This should be an inviolate
prerequisite. The least Congress should do at
(the current session, or in this Congress, is to
patK a bill, or constitutional amendment, re
quiring such qualifications.

Polite lies often begin with “ I have nothing
tto weai 1 .”
Then there are the people who like jokes
on the other fellow.
Good luck rarely comes unexpected; usually,
it is over-expected.
While the just are preparing to inherit the
earth, the unjust are rapidly grabbing it.

THE EFFORTS OF Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson to
discredit the Talmadge Farm Plan
are another confirmation of the
widespread popular support which
it is attracting throughout the
country.
stered by compensatory payments
on domestically-consumed basic
commodities through the propa
ganda devices of smear, associ
ation and innuendo. Rather than
discuss my proposal on its merits,
he has endeavored to tag it with
a false label of socialism and to
relate it to the resurrected ghost
of the so-called Brannan Plan. For
example, in a recent speech he re
ferred to it as “a long step to
ward a fully socialized agricul
ture” and in letters written to
newspapers across the nation he
called it the “Talmadge-Brannan
Plan.”

THE BENSON bogeymen have
no substance in fact.
It is elementary economics that
socialism is synonymous with na
tionalization or government own
ership and control and the Tal
madge Farm Plan which would
free the farmer to plant and sell as
he pleases and pay him the dif
ference between che price he re
ceives for that portion of his crop
sold for consumption in this coun
try and 100 net cent of parity is the
exact opposite of that. The label

of socialism could much more ac
curately be applied to Mr. Benson’s
own program under which the gov
ernment imposes rigid planting
controls and engages in the busi
ness of buying, storing, transport
ing and selling agricultural com
modities.
The only point of similarity
between the Talmadge and the
Brannan Plans is the compensa
tory paymen. idea and, if : t is the
intent of Mr Benson to equate that
feature of my proposal with the
Brannan Plan, then by the same
logic it also could be called the
Eisenhowei Plan, the Seaton Plan
and even the Benson Plan because
officials by those names have advo
cated a similar use of direct pay
ments to compensate producers of
metals, woo! and sugar.
THE FARMER WHO wants to
be returned to a free enterprise
economy with protection equivalent
to that rnjoyed by labor through
the minimum wage and industry
through the tariff and the taxpayer
who wants a stabilized farm pro
gram which will give his pocket
book a break both in the market
place and at tax time will not be
deceived by Mr Benson’s attempts
to confuse the issue.
While I would not say that my
bill can be enacted either this year
or next, 1 will make the prediction
that when anew farm program
is passed—and. if not before, one
certainly will be after we install a
Democrat in the White House in
1961—it will be along the lines
of the measure I have proposed.
