I gislative, the Executive and the
I Judk'ial. It Is the latter that 1
j wish to cnmiment e>n.
I It is a tact that Suprerme Court
i Justices are appointed by the
Pre.slelent with the advice and
consent of the U. S. Senate. These
men are "in tune" with the poli
tical philosophy of the Chief
Executive and a majority of
members who control the politi
cal party in power. This Is as it
should be.
W(' have had nearly 40 years of
“one party rule". The (>xtrom<'
longevity of the justices appoint
ed has insured an Innovative and
social Court. This has been es
pecially true of the inimediate
I past 16 years.
j A tremendous amount of good
j has come in the knocking down
' of barriers to freedom of our Ne-
! gro citizens. The signal falling of
I the Court has been its overjea
lousness in protecting the rights
' of a suspected criminal during
' the Investigation of the criminal
' act prior to and following arre.st
• of the suspect. Once a verdict of
1 guilty has been rendered by the
I criminal’s .peers punishment doe.s
not “fit” the crime, and most oft
en is too lenient. '
I wish to second guess the au-
’ thors of the Constitution in one
area. I believe that a mandatory
' retirement age of 70 should ap
ply to justices in lieu of lifetime
appointment.s. .Some men arc'' Shelby, N. C. |

liberal and conservative philoso
phies of tlie total bench would re-
S'jJt. Had such a system of ap-
iwintments been in effect, the
recent ex«:es.s<'.s would not have
occurred.
There' is muth wrong with our
country. And we all wish to erad
icate all inju.'-tice. However, ours
is still the most perfect govern
ment ferr the greatest number of
citizeas ever devised by man.
I accept with pride your opin
ion that I had sympathy, in fact
it gcjes beyoai that emotion to
one of empatliy for J was never
able to build a veneer thick e
nough to ignore the sacrifice bc'-
ing made by young men called
into service.
To discharge my duties with
li’alrness was uppermost in all
ttiat 1 tried to do and if this
fact is recognized as you implied,
Plea.se join mo in giving thanks
for our citizenship in America. 1 Siaoerely yours.
