"Tho Judiciary of this country, at least the Federal judiciary, is above and beyond the control and influence of politics, and while it is human, neverthele;B. so long as it determines the law as laid down by the supe rior court and determines it fearlessly and honestly, the American people will look to it and the American people will recognize it as the foun dation upon which future independ ence and future property rights may be preserved and protected." Call* 1). C. Coart Timid. Mr. Gardiner criticized the Municipal Court in the ease at bar for failing to follow the indication of the United States Supreme Court in the Chastle ton decision, but said: "This is to be excused, perhaps, because of the fact that court is an inferior one and natu rally timid.*’ Attorney J. L. Krupsaw, representing Jacob Fink, the tenant in the case be fore the Court of Appeals, today asked the court to strike from the record the brief of Mr. Gardiner. Among the rea sons assigned for the request are that the brief “by its allegations attacks, charges, belittles and otherwise slan ders a co-ordinate branch of the Gov ernment —the Congress of the United States. It also belittles and places the Municipal Court of the District of Co lumbia in an embarrassing and humili ating position.” Mr. Krupsaw also claims that the brief partakes of the nature of a personal affidavit by Mr. Gardiner and contains evidence con trary to the rules of the court. A decision by the Court of Appeals on the question of the emergency is ex pected early in November.
