RUSSELL RIDICULES HIGH

COURT RULES I
By James Halker
Unless the Supreme Court slows
down, law scholls must employ a
i “professor of phrenology and palm
reading" to keep abreast of the law.
Sen. Richard Russell said here Fri¬
day night.
! To the delight of the several
hundred Georgia judges and attor¬
neys at the Old War Horse Lawyers
Club, the senior senator poked and
jabbed at the high tribunal,
j "The law school will have to send
a professor out for a newspaper so
he can tell the next class what the
Supreme Court says is law that
day,” Mr. Russell continued.
In fact, the way things are going,
the senator doesn’t doubt we may
return to the days when “a sooth
slayer consults tea leaves, coffee
grounds and chicken entrails to ad¬
vise leaders on action for the mom¬
ent.”
IN ONE SWIFT decision, Sen.
Russell quipped, “the high court
knocked out half the law Judge
iiooper knew and he had to relearn
the law.”
Judge Hooper, a federal district
judge in Atlanta, was a fellow plat¬
form guest at the dinner. He laugh¬
ed loud and got in a counter lick
moments later.
“We district judges don’t utilize
psychology, philosophy, ideologies
and ideosyncrasies in making deci¬
sions, as has been attributed to the
Supreme Court,” the judge said.
.. as a boy, I used dooblebugs to
help me make decisions.”
Sen Russell found failure in the
other branches of government, too,
all foreboding trouble for the na¬
tion.
“Historians teach there has never
been a democracy in all of time
that hasn’t committed suicide,’’ he
said.
“When Benjamin Franklin left
the Constitutional Convention,”
Sen. Russell said, he was asked by
a woman, “What have you given
us?”
“ ‘A republic, madam, if you’re in¬
telligent enough to keep it’ ”
TODAY, the senator said, the ad¬
ministrative branch wants more
powers — “absolute power corrupts”
—and Congress has delegated toC
much.
The danger of majority rule with¬
out checks and balances, he said
"Vs that the majority has been in
error as much on public issues as
the minority.”
In the coming session of Congress
Sen. Russell predicted President
Johnson will get most anything he
wants. He has ample votes for
medicare linked to Social Security,
the senator said.
The President’s great test, he
said, will be whether he yields to
organized labor pressures to abolish
state right-to-work laws. “I’m not
wedded to right-to-work laws but
I am to the states’ right to pass
them,” Mr. Russell said.
The new Senate is the most liberal
\ in memory, he said. “I never thought
I’d see the day I was praying for
the House of Representatives to
deliberate slowly and carefully on
new bills.”
Traditionally, he said, the large
unwieldy House hasn't time for
lengthly study and relies on the Sen
ate for refinement of statutes.
The senator praised FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover as “one of the
most outstanding public servants
I’ve known” and called Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara a man
of excellent judgment in trimming
military costs.
HOWEVER, he said later, there
was no justification for closing Hun¬
ter Air Force Base in Savannah. It
is the transport base closest to
South America, he noted.
Mr. Russell said he has “no pat
answers” to the war in South Viet
Nam and favors pulling of of South¬
east Asia entirely if it were possible
for the United States to maintain
the confidence of the free world.
He said the U. S. should abandon
the multilateral force of nuclear
ships within NATO. “We are better
off it we have control of the bomb,”
he said. The multilateral force can’t
work unless all NATO nations agree
and England, Belgium and France
want nothing to do with it, he said.
