souri Democrat, thinks it wrong to “clut-
ter” the Constitution with,a specific fig-
ure which might some dafy have to be
changed, if. for example, the Court take*
on a greater work load.
Op the other hand, there seems sound
reason for protecting the Court’s struc-
ture against the ebb and flow of political
whim. As it stands, the caprice of either
Congress alone or the Executive ip com-'
pany with a willing Congress can alter
markedly the make-up of the taribuigt
The situation was saved in 1937 only
because Mr. Roosevelt’s flacking jdan
aroused stiff opposition among both Dem-
ocrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill.
The story might be different another time-
To be sure, nine is-not a sacred num-
ber. But it has proved practicable in
terms of present-day Supreme Court re-
quirements. The figure is not so lOw as
to impose'an impossible burden of case*
upon the Justice*.
Nor is it so high as to make the Court
more of an assembly, in which necessary
exchange of judicial views would become
an unwieldy process.
Thus, if the Supreme Court is to be
reasonably insulated ffom the normal po-
lfikal tide*, the present amendment would
appear to have some validity. There is
nothing hard and fast about a figure plac-
ed in the Constitution. 1
ft can be changed in the same way it
-eat! be originally fixed. _ Speedy action
is not of the essence where the Court is
concerned.
Hennings had a stronger point, how-
ever. when he complained of the siipshot
fashion in which the Senate approved the
Butler amendment. After one day of hear-
ings, the Judiciary Committee reported
the measure favorably. The next day,

The best approximation* of U. S. Office of Education and Na-
tional Education Association are that to 1990 there wtre between
80,000 and 100,000 colored teachers for the 3,200.000 colored chil-
dren enrolled to U. S. elementary and high schools: In the 17
southern states and District of Columbia there were 74,558 colored
teachers. , ,
In general there has been a great shortage of qualified white
teachers for the public schools m recent yean, but a surplus of
colored teachers. Many cities have bad to employ temporary,
uncertified white teachers because qualified college-trained teachers
were not available.

IN IBM. to North Carolina, for instance, 90 per cent of the colored I
teachers had college degrees, while only 00 per cent of the white
teachers had them. Similarly, in 1950 North Carolina employed
1707 new white teachers, though its colleges graduated only 704
qualified teachers for elementary schools. By contrast. North
Carolina hired only 359 colored teachers, though 480 were grad-
uated. ~ •• ■ . V .
National Education Association has no racial ban and many of
its members—it doesn’t know how many—are colored teachers.
Fifteen states §nd (he Djstwt of £ejuo$ta have, had separate

and Missouri A. T. A. organizations have now merged with N. E. A.
and the Maryland organization is in the process of merging. So
tar as the teachers themselves ere concerned, they appear ready to
end segregation, on short order.

It is a counter move by the at-

North 1 America. The attorney,
Herman Jones of Austin, blames
the discharge of Vanccinkhrite for
the state move. Vancronkhite is
a former publii relations aide and
intimate of Govemos^Shivers.
Jones had this to say: “It was
clear the company did not get the
boom dropped on it until after
Vancronkhite’* separation.”

Hammonds says it is strange
that the company’s legal difficul-
ties began shortly after Vancron-
khite said his salary would have
to be raised to $2,000 per month
or 20 per cent of the firm's pro-
fits. Vancronkhite has denied there
was any difference of opinion over
his salary. He claims he was
“sucked in" and got, out when he
saw the firm couldn’t get its af-

Vancronkhite handled Shivers’
campaign for re-election 2 years
ago. Shivers said he has no plans
to use his former executive as-
sistant. in this year’s campaign.
But Shivers also says that he
agrees that Vancronkhite was
sucked in like the policy holders
who later found the company in-
solvent.

Sheriff Clark Gregory of La-

ed on a Michigan state highway

sheriff said all 3 had been drink-

He was arraigned on a drunk

plea of diplomatic immunity. He
refused to answer all questions,
