The Bulletin Editorial Page C-4—Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin Thursday, April 16, 1959 Hanna Votes 'Yes' Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 8, voted by Richard T. Hanna, Assemblyman representing this area in Sacramento, actually does away with a true loyalty oath for those serving the public in any type public office. Here for the information of the public is the Bill approved by Hanna: "Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concurring, that the Legislature of the State of California at its 1959, Regular Session commencing on the fifth day of January, 1959, two-thirds of all the members elected to each of the two houses of the Legislature voting therefore, hereby proposes to the people of the State be amended by amending Section 3 of Article XX, to read as follows: Sec. 3. Members of the Legislature, and all officers, executive and judicial, except such inferior officers as may be by law exempted, shall, before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: "I, . . . do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be,) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of . . . , according to the best of my ability. And no other oath, declaration, or test, shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust." Deleted from the original oath, the following: No longer required to take the loyalty oath are "I, . . do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be,) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of . . . , according to the best of my ability. And no other oath, declaration, or test, shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust." Deleted from the original oath, the following: No longer required to take the loyalty oath are all "public" officers "and employes, legislative and employees. There is no longer a requirement that public office holders and employes must swear to "defend" the Constitutions of the United States and the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic nor does the oath require them to bear true faith and allegiance to the two Constitutions, nor are they any longer to swear that "I do not advocate nor am I a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that now advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means, that within five years immediately preceding the taking of this oath (or affirmation) I have not been a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocated the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means." They have no longer required to take the oath "Public officers" and employee includes every officer and employee of the State, including the University of California, every county, city, district and authority, including any department, division, bureau, board, commission, agency, or instrumentality of any of the foregoing." In other words, the loyalty oath has been reduced to "nothing." Assemblyman Hanna voted for the "nothing" in the face of the proof that the State of California is the prime target for the Communists, organization wise, to infilter into every phase of life and government in the State, and against a public mandated vote in favor of the loyalty oath. Stay Home, Monty! British Field Marshal Montgomery is leaving for Moscow late this month to talk with Nikita Khrushchev. Few announcements have brought such a storm of protest from the British press. The newspapers of the "tight little isle" are not given to pulling their punches and they suggest bluntly that instead of going to Moscow Monty would do better to just "fade away." At 71, Monty may be on his metal, but nobody wants him on the meddle. British Field Marshal Montgomery is leaving for Moscow late this month to talk with Nikita Khrushchev.

Dropping The Pilot ADENAUDER FROM THE DRAWING BY SIR JOHN TENNIEL, 1890 Your Birthday FROM The Mail Box Your Birthday by Stella THURSDAY, APRIL 16 — Born today you are an individualist and are not the type to follow the lead of anyone else. You are seldom satisfied with things as they are, but want to correct them. Your methods may not appeal to everyone, but criticism seems merely a challenge for you to work harder toward your goal. You have a restless, searching nature, are fond of travel, especially the sea, and will probably see a goodly portion of the earth during your lifetime. You have an exceptional memory and are able to store up facts which you can pull out and use, literally, years later. You have unerring good taste and enjoy all that is beautiful. You have a sharp wit and often use it with telling force in both conversation and in writing. Since you have a magnetic personality, you attract people easily and should be careful in the selection of your close associates. You could be led astray by those who do not have your best interests at heart. Inclined to be jealous, you must curb this tendency or it can bring unhappiness into your romantic life. Among those born on this date are: Anatole France, author; Herbert B. Adams, historian; Humphrey Lloyd and Frederick W. Putnam, scientists; Charles Chaplin, comedian.

Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — From sunup to sundown, he's at the job, and the tool in his hand deftly bites into the giant forms of white plaster. Visitors rarely come. Just as well, because Carl Schmitz has important work to do. The product of his sculpturing skill will, in months to come, receive the attention of the world. But right now, sculptor Schmitz remains obscure to the multitudes who swirl about him as he and his assistants dwell in the very center of Capitol Hill. Schmitz workshop stands where once was the front lawn, about 50 paces from the front door of Capitol. It's a long wooden, temporary green-roofed building, bare inside except for an oil stove, Greek and Italian features. "Notice the fullness of the face," he said, "and the small mouth, and how the lips are set up high." "The figure on the right," he said, "that's Hope resting on an anchor. Notice how the belt line was moved under the breasts. Napoleon started the fashion of lifting the waist line — and Dior thought he had something new." Schmitz stood there and almost sighed, I thought, at the three lofty, modish figures. "Do you see the treatment of the hands? So articulate, so graceful . . ." Again he sighed. "I get the feel of the man who worked on it." It took Persico three years to complete the sculpture, one of the earliest patriotic groups carved in this country.

The product of his sculpturing skill will, in months to come, receive the attention of the world. But right now, sculptor Schmitz remains obscure to the multitudes who swirl about him as he and his assistants dwell in the very center of Capitol Hill. Schmitz' workshop stands where ence was the front lawn, about 50 paces from the front door of the Capitol. It's a long wooden, temporary green-roofed building, bare inside except for an oil stove, a bench and those tall sculptured figures. Backhammers and pile drivers keep pounding away along him, and the earth shudders while workers give the Capitol a new $10 million East Front. But Schmitz doesn't hear that. The pleasant, round-faced, mustached 57-year-old artist, who commutes from his home at 80th and Broadway in New York week ends, was hand-picked for the job by Paul Manship, who is perhaps the dean of America's sculptors. The job: to restore the prized statuary of the Capitol's East Front. I stepped out of the sunlight into Schmitz' subdued workshop. At one end towered a tympanum, the "Genius of America" sculpture of three women symbols, completed in 1828 by Luigi Persico. The tympanum, carefully transferred from its setting above the Capitol's front porch, is of sandstone — corroded, cracked and broken. It's Schmitz' task to duplicate the original. He's been working away at a plaster cast. About June, big blocks of white Georgia marble — about 50 tons in all — will be eased down through the skylight. Then, in eight months' time, a replica of Persico's tympanum, this time in marble, will be ready to be placed in its historic setting. Schmitz looked — tenderly, I thought — at the figure in the center, America, a classic of was moved under the breasts. Napoleon started the fashion of lifting the waist line — and Dior thought he had something new." Schmitz stood there and almost sighed, I thought, at the three lofty, modish figures. "Do you see the treatment of the hands? So articulate, so graceful . . ." Again he sighed. "I get the feel of the man who worked on it." It took Persico three years to complete the sculpture, one of the earliest patriotic groups carved in this country. On the bench in a folding case lay several dozen rasps, scrapers and other tools. The artist picked up a rasp and set it into a rhythm, shaving at a ripple in the flowing gown. George Stewart, Capitol architect, said, "If we waited 25 more years, we'd have had difficulty finding the right type of sculptor to do this work. They are a dying race." As we left, I looked over my shoulder. Watching Carl Schmitz in that setting made me feel like maybe time had turned back a century. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Farmer McCabe The Space Experts of this country have picked seven military men to ride space missiles into orbit around the earth. The first question to pop into everyone's mind is how will they ever get the thing out of orbit and back to earth? A lot of folks probably assume that the space missiles will have some kind of controls which will guide them back safely and smoothly as a parachute . . . but confidentially I think they expect the occupants to climb out, shinny on top of the thing, and stomp it down to gravity -how else. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — Several members of the United States Senate are a little disturbed over the attempt the other day to gag them when they were questioning Justice Potter Stewart of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Stewart was given a "recess appointment" as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court on October 14, 1958. He has not been confirmed by the Senate, but he has participated in many decisions and has written nine opinions. Some justices in the past have declined to take the oath of office until confirmed. The embarrassments that come to a justice who is already sitting on the court but who has to appear before a congressional committee to give information, presumably on his own qualifications, are obvious. In the hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee the other day, lasting two hours, a point of order was made that no question should be asked of Justice Stewart concerning Supreme Court decisions or his own attitude toward past decisions. But, in the discussion that followed, it was apparent that the point of order was not concurred in by other members of the committee from both the north and the south. While the Constitution provides that the Senate may confirm or reject any presidential nomination submitted to it, sometimes, when Congress is not in session, "recess appointments" are made. The recipient of such an appointment can serve only through the subsequent session of Congress. If he is not confirmed during that session that I thought was perfect." But the real duty of the Senate, every time a judicial appointment is submitted, is to find out whether the prospective justice actually believes in a written constitution and the method prescribed therein for its amendment, or whether he believes that the Supreme Court can override the Constitution at will. At one point, when the Senate Judiciary Committee was interrogating Justice Stewart, he was asked: "Do you think the Supreme Court has the power to amend the constitution?" He answered: "Certainly not to amend it, no." The questioning of Justice Stewart is to be resumed in a few days. This is not the first time the views of a judicial appointee have come under close scrutiny by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Back in 1930, when Charles Evans Hughes was nominated to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he was sharply criticized for his views in various cases. Indeed, much of the opposition to his confirmation came from the radicals of those days, and on the final vote they voted against Mr. Hughes plainly because of his previous decisions. In the case of John J. Parker, a member of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who was nominated by President Hoover for the Supreme Court of the United States, the labor union opposition was such that is nomination was rejected by a vote of the Senate. There is, therefore, ample precedent for the present members of the Judiciary Committee to examine the views of any appointee to the Supreme Court and, indeed, to While the Constitution provides that the Senate may confirm or reject any presidential nomination submitted to it, sometimes, when Congress is not in session, "recess appointments" are made. The recipient of such an appointment can serve only through the subsequent session of Congress. If he is not confirmed during that session, he is no longer eligible to remain at his post. Justice Stewart was, of course, not on the Supreme Court when the segregation decisions of 1954 were issued, but he has since had opportunities to concur in various rulings derived from the original case. On the surface, it would seem to be an impropriety to ask any Supreme Court Justice to discuss his reasoning with respect to decisions that he has already rendered on the High Court even though serving under a recess appointment. But the Senators on the Judiciary Committee did not ask about current decisions. They were interested in the reasoning of the Supreme Court in decisions prior to the time of Mr. Stewart's appointment. They wanted to know whether the new Justice agrees with the reasoning, and Senator McClellan of Arkansas, Democrat, asked him to explain what he thinks was the reasoning and logic applied in the school segregation cases. Justice Stewart said that basically he agrees with the 1954 decision, but not with "all the grammar and the footnotes." Yet it was one of those footnotes citing "psychological authority" — including Gunnar Myrdal, a Swedish Socialist — that has occasioned widespread criticism. Certainly in the argument before the Supreme Court itself, there was no opportunity to offer a rebuttal to the Myrdal view, because the "footnote" had at the time not been mentioned by the court. It might well be asked of what value it is to determine whether an appointee to the court agrees or disagrees with past decisions. On this point, Mr. Stewart said, "I've never read any opinion of THE Family Scrapbook Grown Up Too Soon? European visitors observing American children often feel that our youngsters are too much ahead of their years. They question how desirable it is to expect children of five or six to make some of their own decisions. They wonder whether children aren't permitted to start "dating" far too early. For 14-year-olds to go to dances together seems to them to be pushing matters. European children are usually dressed in what we would think are more youthful ways than customary in the United States. But their parents feel strongly that dressing like grownups is just another premature kind of behavior. It is generally true that American children today do seem more grown up in their appearance, their interests and their activities than was true of most children in our country two or three generations ago. But the "right" and "wrong" of the situation isn't clear. Surely, many youngsters are kept from acting their age because parents hate to see them grow up. On the other hand, it may well be that in some things they are pushed ahead of their years and ape older youngsters in undesirable ways. (Copyright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)
