STATE JOURNAL Thursday, 11, 1958 Checks and Bahnces In a system of government like ours, with its three scp- arate and distinct branches, it is perhaps inescapable that at various times in our history each should be charged with encroaching upon the others. The line drawn between the executive, and judiciary authority is in some places quite vague. Some constitutional experts and students of government say this was deliberate, on the part of the founding fathers, who wanted a system flexible enough lo be adapted to widely ranging conditions. None of us needs to be reminded that the country lawmakers have often accused occupants of the presidency o) trying to reduce Congress to a rubber stamp. And hardly a year goes by that some member of the executive branch does not assail Congress for attempting to invade the domain.

By the same token, the courts are charged from time to time with "legislating" on major issues, instead of interpreting existing We are today in a phase of our history marked by many sharp controversies. Because the courts have stepped into some of these, it is they ratheiythan the other branches government which right now are bearing the brunt of the quite common charges of "encroachment." Not long ago, in assembly, a heavy of. th nation's state supreme court justices voiced severe criti cisms of many recent decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court The move was most significant for the fact that these nor riially very reserved judges saw fit to speak out at all.

This is not the place to argue the merit or the wisdom of their action, or for that matter the wisdom of the high Court decisions in question. Obviously, since they are composed of human beings the courts are fallible like anybody else. The same is tru of members of Congress and occupants of the presidency. But what we must guard against, when the battle rage hot, is any tendency to upset or destroy the curious balanc the founding fathers established among the "contending branches. i -Whenever one or the other branch makes a serious mis we must seek out the means provided in our syslerr to correct such error.

the case of the courts, they can be appealed to in hope they will modify or reverse a decision. That failing, Congress can be 'asked lo revise, clarify or repeal the law involved in a dispute--even if it be a part of the U. S. con- tfitutton. At all costs, however, we must avoid any course which would subordinate any branch of government to the others, cast it into grave disrepute.

'The co-equality of the three branches, each checking the othfer, is one of the great foundation stones of pur liberty.

We have been so accustomed over the years to look to Europe as important center of music that we were surprised to learn that Ihe U.S.

has more than half of the estimated 2,001) symphony orchestras in Ihe world. The present total of 1,055 U.S. orchestras represents an increase of 055 per cent since 1820. Did you know' (hat more rnoney was spent in 1957 on concert tickets than on admissions to professional baseball games? More than 28 million Americans play at least one instrument (usually piano). There were in 1357, 158 summer musical festivals and seven operas a day are given somewhere in the.U.S.

Vito Petrone, who believes we could do much for our youngsters retarded and others, with proper musical instruction, called lo our at tention the following editorial in Ihe Courier, featuring a copy of ipeech delivered at George Washington University by Mrs. Harry Chernock of Falls Church, It reads: "NO ONE CAN possibly speak all languages, but music could servi i universal language to aid in erasing many international barriers Music knows no race, creed or color. Music teaches us pa tience, tolerance and endurance; it transcends all human emotions Most of us are familiar with the saying, 'A soft answer lurnetl If mere words are capable of such an attainment, to what heights music can soar!" As an example of what music has attained in the area of inter national relations, may we point with pride to three recent inusica events: The triumph of Van Cliburn in Russia (when the cold war was momentarily warmed by a young American musician), the recent tou of the Philadelphia Orchestra in Russia (where music by American composers found generous acceptance), and the New York i a monic's just-completed lour of Latin America. Perhaps Ihis last event most strikingly illustrates the power music to subdue international animosity ant! political defeat intr cultural victory. At the outset of Ihe Philharmonic's 12-counlry, city tour, smoldering Latin-American resentment was fanned into lion by the visit to Caracas, Venezuela, of Vice President Richarc Ni.xon.

So severe did demonstrations become during this tirm that Federal troops were dispatched lo insure the safety of the Vic President and his party. Into this explosive emotional climate, th New York Philharmonic moved on its cultural mission. The result wa demonstrations of a i order and a positive public response de scribed on the front pages of Latin American newspapers as "scnsa tional, "unprecedented," "delirious." Ovations and honors wer heaped on the orchestra and its conductors, Leonard Bernstein and tnitri Mitropoulos, wherever they played. Whether in jam-packed ai ditoriums or in their radio and television appearances, the Philhar rnonio met only with the warmest response and Ihe most pronounce respect Irom our Central South American neighbors. New York' welcome home for ils Philharmonic at the end of the tour not so much a case of hailing the conquering heroes as it was acknowledgment of a brilliant achievement in the field of diplomac international relations.

The language spoken by the Philharmonic was the universal guage of music, which, tn return again to Mrs. Chcrnook's speech leaches us patience, tolerance and endurance; it transcends all huma emotions." MRS. W. WILSON, 4 North Park, has brought us a February, 193 issue of the San Francisco Examinee which shows that crime was disgraceful factor in American life at lhat time. John Dillinger wa shot down in July of the previous year and the newspaper says, "onl aroused citizenry can shatter the sinister alliance between Undo world gangs and crooked politicians." The stories published in th paper of that date duplicate in many respects llie stories we are reac ing today asjhey are revealed in the senate investigations, We toda faced wilh the same problems of 1935 when Ihe editor wrol "Crime rides ruthlessly, brazenly, out of Ihe underworld In take to of life anil property, and lo dominate the overworld." It jusl doc-sn iccm righl that we, as a people, can not stamp out the racketed blackmailer, dope peddler and kidnaper.

By GAYLORD P. GODWIN WASHINGTON (UPI) With admission Alaska the liled States will have a state at ussia's back doorstep. Little Dia- ede, an Alaskan island, is with- eyesight of Big Diamedo, wned by Russia. The. distance tween them is only 2.4 miles.

Alaska has been seeking stale- od for 42 years. The first state- od bill was introduced in Con- ess in 1916. It got nowhere, but askans and their friends kept ying. The Alaskan Legislature signaled the "forget-me-not" as territorial flower. The federal government is going have to work out a lot of inor problems with a 49lh state i its hands.

There is that long- matter of where to add IB 49th star to the flag, for one ling. Another is changing hun reds of tabulating machines and rge of government irms to show Alaska as a state nstcad of a territory. And what jout the Lincoln Memorial which as Ihe 48 states listed around ils ides? Alaska's population in 1950 was 28,613. Its estimated population ow is about 200,000. Between 940 and 1950, ils population rcased by 77 per cent, while the xipulation of the continents Jnitcd States increased by onl) 4 per cent.

Alaska's percent rowth exceeds that of evcrj late except Nevada, which i iquals. Anchorage, the largest city, ha: 2,000 residents; Fairbanks, tin he second largest, about 16,000 'uneau, capital, and Ketch in the southeast both hav ewer than 10,000 inhabitants. As the 49th state, Alaska iave the highest birth rate ar owest death rale of any slate. It also will be good huntin jround for girls looking for hu lands. There are 16 males I every 10 females and ncarl three-quarters of Ihe women Iher re already married.

In the con- nental United States, ightly exceed men in numbers, nd only two-thirds of the women re married. If you think of Alaska as a erpelual icebox, you are mis- ken. True, temperatures in the inter range down to 70 degrees elow zero. But in the summer the icrciiry climbs in many places i 90 degrees above. Fairbanks deparlment stores.do booming summer business in athing suits.

Winters in Anchorage, bathed breez'es from the warm Japan- current, are no more levere han those in Kansas, the Dakotas nd Nebraska. Three-fourth! of Uaska is in the north tempera- lire zone. The remainder is north the 'Arctic 'Circle.

Alcorn had told qucslion- rs It was not in a for Is party to win contrdl of the Senate. "For my snapped ower when asked about that, "I ave never admitted defeat in ny fight I had to fight." Alcorn subsequently revised his stimate of Senate prospects, 'hsre has considerable re- ision all around In the past few nonths.
