Show II Bring the Cake Back After They Sing 'Happy Birthday'" The Justice Didn't Look Good Stewart's Appearance At Hearing Wasn't Impressive The only daily newspaper devoted to the progress aid advancement of Central Utah .and its people By HOLMES ALEXANDER THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1959 D. C. WASHINGTON, The Honorable Potter Stewart, 44, Is young to be an. Associate Justice 'of the ; U. S. Supreme Courl, but plenty old 'enough to make up his mind. Last October' the President named Mr.j Stewart to the Supreme Court where he has been serving ever since as a recess appointment. His confirmation, now comes before the Senate, and he should and doubtless well be accepted. But "Justice Stewart's appearance before the Senate Judiciary committee: was not impressive. He created a feeling at the press table that he would have a hard time calling balls and strikes in the American League, let alone the highest tribunal in 'the land. To give the Justice every break, let's admit that he, was among his elders, only one committee member being as young as the witness. Also - Mr. Stewart was on the griddle. The Southern members wanted to tost him for his States' A Gap In The West's Wall ly remnants, of a thriving, if misguided, past.

He has made it so strong that Nits entry and continued membership in the NATO defense network was considered vital to the safety of the free West in its long struggle with hostile Communist Russia. In helping his country to achieve all this, Adenauer has made jit a painfully, embarrassing contrast d East Germany. The with Kremlin and its puppets find this daily reminder of the virtues of freedom more than they can easily endure.

It was to the effect that a richer,' fuller life lay ahead for all. Actually, things are going to the dogs, A fast. As proof thereof, your attention is called to the opening of the major league baseball season in Washington the other day. Was the President of the United States there to throw out the first ball? He was not. He was in Augusta, Ga., playing golf. That's where he was. ' He sent his vice president to make the first wild pitch unthinkable. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE happened on opening day? The National Aeronautics, and Space AgencyNASA, for short called a press conference right at "play ball" time. The nerve of them. All they wanted to do was introduce the seven young "men who have been selected for training to make the first two years manned flights into space hence. But there were more reporters, photographers?, newsreel guys, TV camera and radio y a wkers at this press conference than there were at the ball park. Over" 100. And there were more women reporters at this spacious event, too, WHAT THIS WOULD SEEM TO IN- DICATE is that ball players are no A longer the glamour boys the number one heroes that they used to be. -This is serious and sad. The nine of the diamond and outfield have been replaced by the seven of the capsule and outer space. What iid these seven have that baseball players haven't got? The spacemen weren't big and braw-- r ny like ball players. They weren't handsome like movie stars, either. They were nice looking enough guys, '.all'- - right lean and clean-cu- t, all ' but one - crew-cu- t, and of average height. But they all had I.Q.'s'of over 130. To a ball player, that would be like having a batting average over .400. The spacemen are nothing that bobby-soxewould go crazy over. .They are all old married men in their 30s. With' ' families. But for growing boys with an interest in astronautics and dreams of travel to the moon or beyond here are tht Christopher Columbuses of tomorrow. Mark well their names Carpenter and Cooper, Glenn and Grissom, Schirra, Shephard and Slayton. That's how'.the world is changing. AS FURTHER EVIDENCE that things are not what they used to be, Washington's Touchdown Club whose ' members are sporting fans held their annual wel- -' come-hom- e luncheon for the Washington ball club the day before the opener. But were ball players the only attraction? Not on your life. They held a fash v " . . rs , : ' ion show in conjunction with the affair to draw a crowd. Models female type models, that is paraded in bathing" suits and other spring and summer feminine fripperies to please guests whose normal mode of expression used to be, "kill the umpire." There were only a couple of things that were normal about what used to be the holiday of opening day. For one, Congress knocked off to let the senators and representatives go to the A ', . game. A And then, Joe Cronin, new president of the American League and the last man! to win a pennant for Washington way back in 1933 was in town for the opener. He attended; a stag luncheon at National Press Club the day before. And there baseball, and only baseball, was dis cussed. No fashion show. The week before, Cronin had been in Washington to present President Eisen-howwith his annual season pass. Busy as he was, with the NATO council in town and the German situation hanging over his desk, the President took a half hour off to talk baseball. Joe got a kick out of that. He had his boy, Kevin, along. And Ike brought ' the time showing Kevin what a spent natural swing his grandson David had with the bat. This was encouraging. Things may hot be so bad after all, if somebody will just do something about them. But what do you suppose David and Kevin will become when they grow up baseball players or spacemen? In a perfect world, there should be a place for both. ; , , So They Say The architects have made every mistake it is possible to make in this building and we paid 26 million dollars for. Sen. Paul H.

He said that; hailing from Ohio which had outlawed school segregation in the 19th Century, he found no difficulty In accepting the decision. This answer brought a delayed but aggrieved reaction from Sen a- tor Hennings who, in other parts of the hearings, was a defender of the witness. Hennings noted that by "environment" standards a Missourian like himself would be against the integration decision, which he was not. Hennings added that by the same "environment" test, Justice Stewart , would be for the Bricker (of Ohio) Amendment, ' A which he was not. Luckily- - for material. .

He's so wrapped up in the Marine cause that when he gets up to root for the Leathernecks at appropriations hearings, the other Congressmen chant, "From the Halls of Montezuma." Flood, a snappy dresser and a man of dashing demeanor, hopes that those Leathernecks look up; to him. He's done a lot for them, but his pet' project is championing measures for .their safety especially on the highways. Not long ago he told a Marine officer that "this fellow Ford and his friends, with their lethal instruments, caused more trouble with the Marine Corps than the :iX A:' Japs ever did.". He referred to the mayhem on the highways when Marines speed off , on leaves. Leather-- ; necks should be more careful, he said. Then, the other day it happened.

"It 'went by me like a pay car passing a bum in the ; snow, sleet and ain. You never saw anything like It. He must have been doing 75 to get by me.

"I started following this guy, crazy as he was. That fellow gave a performance that made my mustache stand right up on A.end. ' ' "I got in front of him on this highway.

I stayed in front for a while so that he might see what I was trying to ' :. do ' "Then he slammed down on his horn and tore around my left end again. If he had held his doors open, he could have used them for wings and taken off right over the mountain." .This breathless tale intrigued me and I went around to get further details from the Congressman. His mustache was still on end, but it's always that way, waxed, on the tips. Upshot of it all was that the lawmaker traced the Marine's 72-ho- tags to his home address,' just out of his district.
