Supreme Court Called An'Aid'To Communism
WASHINGTON — (UP) — The Supreme Court was attacked Thursday as an "aid" and comfort" to communism and defended as a coequal branch of the government doing its part in safeguarding individual liberties.
The mounting controversy over recent Court rulings brought with it fresh demands for legislation to curb or overturn its actions, and new warnings of threats to law enforcement.
The FBI was reported ready to withdraw from prosecutions of espionage and certain other criminal cases if necessary to protect the secrecy of its files. The Justice Department urged laws to safeguard FBI files, and to establish new police procedures to prevent breakdown of prosecutions against hardened criminals.
Notes Of Restraint
There were some notes of restraint. The National Assn. of Attorneys General softened a proposed criticism of the high court. And some key congressional investigators declared the Court's rulings would not hamper their work.
The Senate exploded in debate on the Court yesterday. Views ranged from that of Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-S.C.) who charged the tribunal had "gone power wild." to Sen. Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) who pleaded against "abuse of the highest tribunal of our land." Senators Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) lauded Court rulings and Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Rep. Donald L. Jackson (R-Calif.), in a speech prepared for house delivery, denounced the high court's current course as lending aid, comfort and assistance" to the Communist "enemy."
He said the Court, in rulings on Communists and Congressional investigations, has stymied the FBI and rendered the House Committee on Un-American Activities and Senate Internal Security Subcommittee "as innocuous as two kittens in a cage full of rabid dogs."
By Communists"
Decisions "Might Be Celebrated By Communists"
Asserting that June 7, when two of the most disputed Court rulings were issued, might be celebrated by Communists henforth as a "red letter day." Jackson said Congress should protect its committees by special legislation or abolish them.
Jackson, a member of the Committee on Un-American activities, found himself sharply at variance with Committee Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.).
Walter said Thursday no new
legislation is required to meet the Supreme Court's edict in the Watkins case, one of those delivered June 17. That decision said witnesses can refuse to answer Committee questions unless the purpose of the inquiry is given and the relevancy of the questions shown.
Court rulings under attack deal chiefly with conduct of Congressional Committees, prosecution of Communists and publicity of FBI files. Some congressmen seized upon on the latest furor to renew attacks on the Court's school de-segregation and other rulings.
Britain Warns Against Smoking
LONDON—(UP)—A British Health Ministry spokesman said Thursday that a major part of the "very great increase in deaths" from lung cancer in males during the past 25 years was caused by smoking—particularly heavy cigarette smoking.
John Vaughan-Morgan, parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Health, told the House of Commons in a long-awaited report:
"In their annual report and more particularly in their special review of the subject, the Medical Research Council advised the government that the most reasonable interpretation of the very great increase in deaths from lung cancer in males during the past 25 years was that a major part of it was caused by smoking tobacco, particularly heavy cigarette smoking."
"The government feels," the spokesman said of the cancer-smoking announcement, "that it is right to ensure that this latest authoritative opinion is brought effectively to public notice so that everyone may know the risk involved in smoking."
"The government," Vaughan-Morgan added, "considers that these facts should be made known to all those with responsibility for health education. . . .

Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield had asked an additional $149,500,000 but the Senate went along with House cuts of $16,500,000.
However, Chairman Carl Hayden (D-Ariz.) of the Senate appropriations Committee assured his colleagues that the reduction would not mean any curtailment of daily rural mail deliveries or suspension of Saturday service in cities and towns.

Says Air Power Insufficient
HUNTSVILLE, Ala — (UP) — Col. John C. Nickerson Jr. testified Wednesday that "gross" over-emphasis on air power exists in the Defense Department.
Reliance on air power alone, the Army missiles officer testified at his court martial, might lay the United States open to "total defeat" if Soviet armies overran most of the Free World.
Nickerson was testifying in his own defense in an effort to mitigate his sentence for admitted negligent handling of secret documents and sending classified memos to various outside persons.
But Nickerson almost immediately launched a blistering attack on the air power philosophy of defense which he said has been "glamorized and publicized" by every member of the Air Force.
