It has been definitely moving in recent technical decision: toward giving much greater legal freedom to the states, while the trend in the executive and legislative branches for years has been to limit further and further the freedom of the states.

Sharp students of the court have an ddca that Chief Justice Hughes and the leading liberal Justice Bran- dels have gotten together and are directing the movement to decrease the number of cases to be tried in Federal courts and to expand the Jurisdiction of the states as far as the Supreme Court can do it.

Obviously nothing had happened to the machinery. He took a pud from his cigar and assured the witnesses that the state w.i.'i about to kill an innocent man. He recalled that yesterday morning when a court order saved him, he had watched Johnny a Negro, leave the cell next to.

his and go to his death. "A colored man went over last night an innocent man," he said solemnly. "That boy raised the first feeling in me in years. 1 have had no human heart for humanity since 1 was a child." He extemporized on this subject for a while, referring now and then, to his cigar. He took up the subject of religion, of his childhood, rambling along, glancing around ns though expecting, hoping.

Finally he got to the point of thanking the warden and the pnson officials for their kindness. Usually this is the signal of condemned men that they have snid their full, nnd Warden Waid stepped forward. "Warden," Vaughn cried out, "can't I have a little more time?" Waid stepped back. Vaughn wasn't finished, but, still talking, he walked over and sat down in the chair. "I am sending my wife and baby a message," he said, looking around.

When Mr. Walker departed, upon the discovery that this could not be done, NEC functioned mostly under capable ex-Newsman Eugene Leggctt ns a spore right arm of the Democratic National Committee within the Government.

Appointment of Lowell Mellctt to the long vacant Walker job now Is rather generally assumed among initiates here to be a sharp presidential move In connection with the coming congressional election. Mellett Is a hard hitting politically wise, ex-editor who may become a second Charles Michaelson of the Administration. Selection is regarded BS a personal presidential appointment. Furthermore, Mellctt is well and widely known in the Senate. Consequently, no serious senatorial objection to his confirmation is expected.

Those legislators in a position to know when the White House is disgusted, say it is again now because of the delay of the Senate in voting on the naval expansion bill. The Senate leader of the opposition has been claiming 43 votes against it (six loss than a majority.) Executive disgust has been somewhat appeased by on apparently more authoritative inside poll indicating only 32 votes against.
