DALLAS 25, TEX., February 28, 1958. Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND, Committee on Internal Security, Washington, D. C. DEAR SENATOR EASTLAND: My husband and I wish to express ourselves as being in favor of Senate bill S. 2646 as proposed by Senator William Jenner, on which hearings are now being held by the Internal Security Committee. We deplore the weakening of the Smith Act by the Supreme Court, and ask that you include in S. 2646 provisions for correcting this dangerous decision. Yours very truly, ELIZABETH M. THOMPSON. OAK PARK, ILL., February 26, 1958. Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND. HONORABLE SIR: We support Senator Jenner's bill, S. 2646, to limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in five areas, namely: A, B, C, D, E. Very truly yours, Mr. and Mrs. JAMES D. MCDOWALL, DALLAS 5, TEX., February 28, 1958. DEAR SENATOR EASTLAND: I deplore the encroachment of the Supreme Court on the civil rights of the American people. I beg that your committee will act favorably on Senate bill 2646 as proposed by Senator Jenner. There are thousands of American citizens who are outraged by recent decisions of this Court and by its complete disregard of the Constitution of our United States such as the Mallory decision, the weakening of the Smith Act, the so called Civil Rights decision, and on. For the sake of my children and all the future citizens of our Nation, something must be done to protect the people and the States-so please put some teeth into this bill so that the Tenth Amendment to our constitution can be restored to a reverenced dignity of fact, rather than fiction. Most sincerely yours, Mrs. EVELYN TAYLOR. RIDGECREST, CALIF., February 26, 1958. Referring to S. 2646, wish to express approval of your efforts to limit the power of the Supreme Court. SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, Washington, D. C. DARWIN ELDER, WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. February 27, 1958. DEAR SIRS: By all means pass the Jenner bill relative to the Supreme Court. Also we want no Summit Conference. I recommend that the Senate pass a bill prohibiting the President from attending such meeting. Work for disarmament with inspection. Truly yours, CECILE MAE JORDAN. FEBRUARY 26, 1958. SENATOR EASTLAND: We write to ask you to please support Senator Jenner's bill to limit the powers of the Supreme Court. We are sure many of their decisions recently have been procommunistic, so please put our note for Senator Jenner's bill. 21794-58- -62 Mrs. DAVID GILLETTE, I have just read with much interest the report of Sering of Such contains a statement by Senator Jenner of Indiana. cuisine the Same action was started to curb the arbitrary and illSend Trusters of Supreme Court, especially as they nullify the efforts Sistes to Schake their own internal affairs. hope that the rings now being conducted by Senator Eastland will Sure Crede, It was never the intention of our Constitution Spy Court Hear the functions of the legislative branch of our wonten inarfere with the Government of our 48 sovereign States.

GENTLEMEN: The Supreme Court has gone too far, its time that their wings were clipped, I don't like it one bit, in their decisions on these lousy "Reds" they have caused the leaders to be turned loose, giving them another chance to try and overthrow our form of government. Get behind the Honorable William E. Jenner's bill, and then we can get back once again to the Constitution. Some day in the near future, these wise men of the Supreme Court will be elected by the people, instead of being appointed by the President. This way, the Court will not be jammed, like it has been in the past. I am an American, I was born in this country, I believe in the Constitution, and I for one will fight to the last ditch to preserve it. So in closing, I say, push this bill of Senator Jenner, get it over, make it a law, then the Supreme Court will have to abide by the Constitution. Thanks. GEORGE A. TIPPS. I am a citizen, a voter, a taxpayer, a conservative Republican, a patriot, and a veteran of World War I and World War II. INDIANAPOLIS 2, IND., February 28, 1958. SENATE INTERNAL SECURITY COMMITTEE, The Senate, Washington, D. C. GENTLEMEN: Let me register my request that the powers of the Supreme Court be limited. I am in favor of the Jenner bill. It appears to me very obvious that the State of Arkansas does not have enough schools; they never were known to have anything, so to send the United States Army down there to force the State to educate the Negroes simply makes more obvious their physical impossibility of performance position. The impossibility of performance in this matter for them is just as obvious to me as is this segregation and integration question expressed today as education of the blacks in the same classrooms with the whites is just a twisted way of expressing the old ultimatum of the Berber pirates and vandals on their intended victims that the whites should be forced to go to school with the blacks. It gets down to where I think the Supreme Court must have been under duress when they handed down this decision. They certainly have inadequate protection against this sort of thing. These Berber pirates may have been driven off the high seas by the United States Navy, but they appear to have started operations as the controlling force known as the Cominform that controls the Communist Party. I certainly am in favor of limitations on the Supreme Court as a means of rescuing the country from the terrorist influence of the Communist Party. Cordially yours, SENATE INTERNAL SECURITY SUBCOMMITTEE, JOHN P. DONNELL. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., March 1, 1958. Washington, D. C. GENTLEMEN: Since the Warren brand of Supreme Court now based decisions ritally effecting American rights upon communistic manifestos instead of law, it is essential that immediate passage of the Jenner bill become effective to protect American rights and national stability from Ike's Modern Republicanism. Kindly take steps for immediate passage of the bill. Sincerely, EARLE W. GAGE. CUCAMONGA, CALIF., February 27, 1958. DEAR MR. EASTLAND: I heartily endorse the Jenner bill limiting the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court-S. 2646. important hearings be held. I wish your committee the success you need. Yours sincerely, The time has come that these Mrs. C. NORMAN ABBOTг. Senator EASTLAND, A. M. KIDDER & Co., Tampa, Fla., February 28, 1958. Chairman, Internal Security Subcommittee, DEAR SENATOR: I have read Mr. Arthur H. Dean's statement as well as the statement of Mr. Thomas E. Harris, general counsel of the AFL-CIO, with reference to the bill introduced by Senator Jenner. I hope and trust that this will have no effect on the thinking of your committee. Our United States Supreme Court (or call it our United States "Extreme" Court, if you prefer) has already caused a great deal of chaos, so much so, that it will take, I'm afraid, many years to repair. Here is hoping the Jenner bill will be voted on favorably. O. W. KUHN. DALLAS 5, TEX., February 27, 1958. SIR: My husband and I approve Senate bill No. 2646. Please include in S. 2646 provisions for correcting the Mallory decision. Yours truly, LELABEL (Mrs. E. D.) SHERIDAN. DALLAS, TEX., February 28, 1958. MY DEAR SENATOR EASTLAND: I am heartily in favor of Senate bill 2646 as proposed by Senator Jenner and urge you to exert every effort to have it passed. Sincerely, Mrs. ALLAN M. GRAYSON. DALLAS 6, TEX., February 27, 1958. Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND, Chairman, Subcommittee on Internal Security, Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: The security of our Nation is in such danger from the power usurped by the branch of our Government that should be most trustworthy. For this reason I respectfully ask that you use your best efforts to get the Jenner bill limiting the power of the Supreme Court onto the floor as early as possible. Sincerely, Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND, Chairman Internal Security Committee DAISY M. REEDY. DALLAS, TEX., February 27, 1958.

Sincerely, ELLEN C. FERGUSON. (Mrs. Ted B.) INDIANAPOLIS, IND., February 28, 1958. SENATE INTERNAL SECURITY SUBCOMMITTEE, GENTLEMEN: Just another letter from Indiana in favor of the bill introduced by Senator Jenner. Surely, there must be some way to stop the subversive actions of men like Warren and others in the Supreme Court of the United States. Respectfully yours, RICHARD F. HOBERG. FORT WORTH, TEX., February 28, 1958. GENTLEMEN: Please give due consideration to Senate Jenner's bill S. 2646 curbing the powers of the Supreme Court, as I am sympathetic with the general purposes of this bill. I also believe that a proposal to appoint these Justices for a term such as 2 or 4 years, rather than the "lifetime" position they now hold, would meet with favor of the people-great favor I should say. Yours truly, B. V. BARTOW. TULSA OKLA., March 1, 1958. SENATE INTERNAL SECURITY SUBCOMMITTEE GENTLEMEN: I am very much in favor of impeaching the Supreme Court Justices that is if you have the courage to do so. If not, pass the Jenner bill.

Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND, Committee on Internal Security, Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C. DEAR SENATOR EASTLAND: I attach a great deal of importance to S. 2646, and I fully appreciate your effective work in this respect. I would urge you to continue until a satisfactory bill has been passed. Very truly, ELLEN RAY COOK. DALLAS, TEX., February 27, 1958.
