vast majority of the people of this country years," Eastland continued, "a ere up in arms over the conduct" of the S. Silpreuie Court, Sen. Eastland (D-Miss) says. He said in an interview last liight that if the court "is not curbed, we will lose our system of government." Eastland stopped over here en route to Biloxi where he was to address the Mississippi Bar Assn. today.

Eastland said he has found much favorable sentiment for a constitutional amendment proposed by him and Sen. Johnston which would make the court justices subject to confirmation by the Senate every four years. The court, he said, "has grasped the power to become a policymaking body and therefore it should be subject to confirmation by the people or their- elected representatives." "For tuu first time in many vast majority of the people of this country are up in arms over the conduct of those politicians on the sureme bench. I believe that 90 per cent of the press of the country is now critical of the Supreme Court." Congress has spent "half of its time for the past four years in correcting Supreme Court decisions," he said. "We can make corrections when the court misconstrues the constitution.

So the time has come to correct the court." Eastland, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said rulings, "it is impossible today to convict Communists, saboteurs or traitors." He added that recent court decisions have made it more difficult to obtain convictions in a broad category of criminal cases. Move To Modify Supreme Court Ruling BRIDE AND GROOM--G. M.
