Meditations McCarthy Committeemen Must Fix His Role in Probe On the United States Supreme Court, or indeed any judicial body, a jurist completely removes himself from any case coming up in which he may be presumed to have either a direct or an indirect interest.

This is a principle long observed in American jurisprudence. It is founded on the simple notion that a man who has any interest, however remote, in a matter up for judgement cannot be presumed to be without prejudice. Americans apply it in many places outside the courts of law. To them it seems a plain requirement of justice. The Republican leadership in the U.

S. Senate believes this principle should operate in the coming hearings on the dispute between Senator McCarthy, his chief counsil, Roy Cohn, and top Army officials. The charges that have been flung by the Army involve alleged acts and remarks by both the senator and his counsel. This is not a case agaisnt Cohn alone. Therefore, McCarthy is an interested party.

Before the Senate leadership spoke the Republican and Democratic members of McCarthy's investigating subcommittee made known their feeling that he ought to step out of the picture as a witness. Now President Eisenhower has added his support to the general idea that a man should not sit in judgement on his own case. Even before the President spoke, McCarthy had bowed to the pressuer to the extent of removing himself from his- committee for these hearings. But he made plain he did not thereby intend to yield the right to cross-examine wittnes- ses. He said he is willing to extend the same right to Army officials on the other side.

The senator said' he has this right because he is a senator that he could not possibly divest himself of it That is perhaps a legal argument that only lawyers and students of government could settle properly. Congressional committees usually allow cross-examination only through committee members or staff men. Proposed questions are handed up in Since in this hearing neither McCarthy nor Cohn will be acting as committee personnel many senators doubt that the senator's insistence on cross-examining is fair or proper. In the last analysis the six other members of McCarthy's committee must determine whether this demand is within tht limits of the American notion of justice. The President and Senate leaden All they that be fat upon earth shall cat and worship: all that go down to the duct shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own tool.

'New Broom 7 Troubles Rep. John Phillips, a has told the governments' housekeeper, the General Services Administration, to weild the mop more vigorously around Washington. As head of a House appropriations subcommittee, Phillips had some private eyes take a peek at the government's cleaning activities. They found cleaners "sleeping peacefully." Evidently others regarded a mop as a prop, and the mop closet turned out to be something of a social center. Things had got to the point, said Phillips, where various government agencies were doing their own cleaning, instead of ''having someone in" GSA.

Even the Pentagon threatened to assign military personnel for inside yard duty. GSA complains it hasn't got enough money for a proper job. and wants more. The report we saw doesn't say so, but we're sure GSA promised to do better. Obviously it won't be Phillips' fault if the Republicans fall down on their 1952 campaign promise to "clean up the mess" in Washington.

Views of Others Need lers Miss Vital Subjects President Elsenhower told a news conference that hanging should be the fate of any President who failed to act instantly to protect the American people against a sudden attack in thli atomic age. There will be universal agreement with that viewpoint. In case this country should be attacked certainly nobody would expect the President to wait to hunt up congress, seeking a declaration of war, before hitting back. That is common sense, has always been common practice in this country and in no way conflicts with a statement made by the President a week ago that he would not put this country into war without proper constitutional action by Congress. When the country has been attacked, we are already in a war without any declaration whatever.

What occurs to us in the connection with this question, which appears to have occupied a large part of the President's weekly press conference is that the White House correspondents who selected the subject and kept it going were certainly not making much use of the President's or their own time. We suspect the question was raised originally in the press conference in the hope of developing some embarrassing contradiction in the Presidents views, but as it transpired, the issue was dragged out so that the comferjcwas deprived of his view point on numerous other matters of equal importance and of much greater Knoxville (Term.) Jourinal. Counting Unemployment Roger W. Babson is strongly avocating a change in the method of reporting unemployment which would base the figures on a per capita rating instead of as now reported. Mr.

Babson says the present method ignores the growth of the country. For example, reported unemployment in the United States Feb. 28 was 3,385,000. This is with a total estimated population of 161,350,000, which is increasing about 150,000 a month. On the per capita basis which he proposes, this would mean that unemployment Is only about.

2 per cent of the entire population, compared with 10 per cent in 1932. In the labor forces of 63 million a present, unemployment on the per capita basis would be only 4.9 per cent, compared with 23.6 per cent in 1932, when the labor force was 51 million. Per capita figures would make a much better showing for the nation's economy and would besides, give a more accurate picture of the jobless situation. Mr. Babson has presented his plan to administration heads in Washington, particularly to the Department of Labor, but they seemed not inclined to favorable consideration, for reasons they did not Morning Tribune.

The Association of American Railroads has now become a reluctant cobelligerent in the big fight between Robert R. Young and William White over control of the New York Central. Young pulled the Chesapeake Ohio out of some of the coopera- tive activities of A.A.R. at the end of the war.

He then set up his own rival Federation for Railway Progress. Theoretically the A.A.R. is a neutral group representing the interests of S. railroads.

JORDAN. M. D. It often seems that everyone knows how to raise a those who have never had one. Not only do they "know" what to do, but they are liberal with advice, even though this is likely to be based on folklore and prejudice.

Most of the time, a new mother with her first born is completely confused by well-meaning advice from a long line of relatives, friends and neighbors. Usually, such advice is worth what is paid for nothing. Although given with the best of intentions, what one person says is quite likely to be exactly the opposite of the suggestions provided by another. Any but the strongest-minded mother is likely to be left in a state of utter confusion. There are some points in this connection which I should like to bring out, and which are based on an excellent book written a few years ago by the late Dr.

C. Anderson Aldrich and Mrs. Aldrich. It is called "Babies are Human Beings." I hope this is still in print. In any event, the main theme is that babies should not all be treated alike, because their individual personalities must have a chance to develop.

As the Aldriches pointed out, babies are different even at birth. In a hospital nursery for new-borns a great difference can be noticed between one baby and another, in appearance and behavior, not only by the parenta but by other careful observers. One question which the Aldriches discuss is about fondling or loving babies. Conscientious mothers often ask whether fondling is proper. They sometimes appear to feel that it may wrong for babies to be rocked, bugged or mothered, that the infant in order to be healthy must be raised as practically "untouched by rn an hands." Of course, a baby should not have too much or indiscriminate fondling by friends and relatives.

Like everything else, this matter can be overdone. The more people who come in close contact with the baby the greater the chance of giving the infant some infection. Baby Needs Affection To feel that a mother and father should not give the infant physical affection, however, is to inflict unintentional cruelty on the child. Everyone thrives on some affection, infants most of all. Of course, it is good to fondle for the baby and good for the parents.

This does NOT mean bouncing a baby around roughly or exposing it to colds or infections. Two principles should govern your conduct: Treat a baby as you would like to be treated if you were young and helpless, and remember that signs of affection are appreciated even before a child ca ntalk. The rewards of proper handling in infancy are reaped when the child gets older. To make these rewards even more bountiful, it might be wise to follow expert advice and ignore the rest. JACOBY ON BRIDGE By OSWALD JACOB? Written for NEA Service Six SpodUs Sums a Popular Contract today's hand was played in a tournament some years ago, six spades was a very popular contract.

The slam waa popular with North and South because there' seemed to be a fine play for the I contract; and it was popular with East and West because they usual- ly wound up with a score of plus i 100 for defeating the slam. At all tables West opened the four of hearts. Declarer usually won the first trick with dummy's ace, ruffed a heart, and tried a spade finesse. East won with the king of spades and got out safely with a trump or a club. South eventually had to lose a diamond trick, and there went the slam.

The slam was made at one table where the South player was the late Dr. Louis Mark of Columbus, O. He began with the ace of hearts a spade trick to East's king. East had to return a diamond, since a third round of hearts would allow declarer to ruff while dummy discarded a losing diamond. East deceptively returned the jack of diamonds, but Dr.

Mark was not fooled by this play. It was clear that East held three diamonds and West only two. If East had held three diamonds headed by the jack, he would have returned a low diamond instead of the jack. Acting on this analysis, Dr. Mark won the diamond return with dummy's king and led the ten of diamonds for a finesse 'through East's queen.

When this finesse succeeded, the slam contract was home. sponsored "Wild Bill Hickok," got offer for another western series. "No, thanks," said Andy, "I know which side my bread is corn- flaked on."
