powers: powers granted for the preservation of our freedoms, to curb the ambitions of would-be dictators or the whims and unlawful desires of legislators. In the past these raiders of our freedoms have been thwarted by the voice of an alerted people. We hold that bill S. 2646 should likewise be rejected, thereby defeating an attempt to undermine the very foundation that has sustained and made possible the survival of the democratic form of government. It should be defeated as another attempt to dilute the powers of the judicial division, to weaken the guard at the gate. Very truly yours, EDWARD K. HOWE. BRADFORD, PA., February 26, 1958. Hon. JAMES EASTLAND, Chairman, United States Senate Judiciary Committee, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. DEAR MR. EASTLAND: Recent news reports stated that a bill proposed by Senator Jenner is before a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee for consideration. The bill in question would reduce the powers of the Supreme Court to entertain appeals in cases involving subversion. I note also that various organizations, in addition to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), have gone on record in favor of the bill. May I point out, as one veteran belonging to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, that I am strongly opposed to the proposed bill, and sincerely hope your committee will consider very seriously, and oppose, any limitation upon the Supreme Court. History shows that many periods in the past have seen the Supreme Court making unpopular decisions. If they had been limited, many of the protections afforded citizens today would be lost. I believe all three branches of our Government must be strong, but none at the expense of the others. Sincerely your, JOHN H. MEZLER.
