Justice Jackson Takes Crack At Ghost-Writing; Use Explained
Spadework On
Speeches Cited
Br JAMES MARLOW
Washington Nov. 22 tfi Cr-
rri rrrach. Justice Jackion brine
up the question ot ghost-writers
lain.
Here was the supreme court
droning through a batch of dull
Monday cases.
It reached one about a lawyer
accused of having had a hand in
writing a magazine piece which
bore another man's name but was
in support of the lawyer'i client.
Suddenly Justice Jackson who's
been around a long time in Wash-
ington where you hear a lot about
ghost writers teed off:
"Ghost writing has debased
the intellectual currency in etr-
enlatiew here (Washington) and
la a type af counterfeiting which
invites ne defense."
No defense? Busy President
Truman probably would be among
the first to defend it. So would
President Roosevelt if he were
alive.
It was Just coincidence but
while Justice Jackson was de-
livering hia .epinton of ghost-
writing another Washington
story was breaking:
Clark Clifford one of Mr. Tru-
man's most trusted White House
aides was leaving to go into pri-
vate business to make more
money.
Clifford has been serving as Mr.
Truman's legal counsel and also
as a ghost writer. In fact as ghost
writer far Mr. Truman Clifford
had succeeded Judge Samuel
Rosenman and some others who
had done ghost writing for Mr.
Roosevelt.
The story of presidential ghost
writing under Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Truman goes like this:
When they had to make a speech
say on labor the government
agency most expert on the sub-
ject (in this case the labor de-
partment) would dig up the neces-
sary facts end background.
This would go into the ghost-
writing mill at the White House
where a number of aides would
take a whack at putting the speech
together.
When all the pieces were fitted
together with maybe a last going
over by Rosenman or Clifford or
maybe the whole Job by them
the finished product went to the
president.
Then the president whether
Mr. Truman or Mr. Roosevelt
would go over what the ghosts
had written make what changes
he thought necessary put in some
touches of hia own or maybe
even re-write the whole thing.
But anyway the spadework
on the speech was usually done
by the ghosts whasa names were
never mentioned.
Come to think of it it would
seem odd if Mr. Truman got up
to make a speech and to avoid the
counterfeiting" label put on
ghostly work by Justice Jackson
made his speech this way:
My fellow Americans: The
speech I'm about to deliver has
been put together by Joe Jones
a file clerk in the labor depart-
ment Charley Ron my secretary
Charley Murphy one of my aides
Clark Clifford one of my aides
and Mrs. Truman who suggested
some changes when I read the
speech to her last night.
Paragraphs 2. 7-10 22 and 37
were put together entirely by
Jones. Ron and Murphy are re-
sponsible for paragraphs 11 to 21
Clifford re-wrote Ross and Mur-
phy in 14 other paragraphs and I
re-wrote Clifford in 20 others
10 of which were at the suggestion
of Mrs. Truman."
Other government officials have
ghosts or at least ghostly help.
So do many businessmen. If you
asked them why they didn't do
the whole job themselves theyd
probably say:
I cant possibly make all the
speeches I'm called upon to make
and write them all myself and
still get my other work done. So
long as the speech represents what
I think its honest to do it with
the help of a ghost. i
Of cause airtimes It might
be the truth if the government
official sr the businessman said
he cant write a speech to save
hia neck and needs the help of
a ghost.
To the problem raised by Jus-
tice Jackson when he say ghoat
writing has debased the intellec-
tual currency in circulation here;
there's one solution:
Cut down the amount of intel-
lectual currency in circulation by
having fewer speeches. Then may-
be the currency would be worth
more.

Could Irish Take
Top Pro Grid Team?
By HAL BOYLE
New York oP) Could unde-
feated Notre Dame knock off one
of the top professional football
teams?
That has been a favorite topic
this season with a number of pig-
gkin historian of the sports pans.
Impressed by the reeerd ef St
games witheut a lesa rung up
by the Ramblers a number ef i
writers have opined that the
fighting Irish could heal many .
piay-for-pay teams. And seme
even have erewled dear out
an the Umb and proclaimed that
Notre Dame canid su to the
best pis elevens.
I am no fonder of tanned pork
than the average man but if
Frank Leahy's boys in green can
whip the Cleveland Brown I'll
be glad to eat without benefit of
gravy the football they do it
with. And that is one proposition
I dont mind ending with a prepo-
sition. In successive weeks I watched
Notre Dame tar North Care-
lina's Tarheels. 42 to d and the
Cleveland Browns retain the
leadership of the All-America
conference by blanking the New
York Yankees 81 to 0.
They were games that dem-
onstrated the best in amateur
football and the best in profes-
sional football. And the only pos-
sible conclusion an innocent by-
stander could draw was: Notre
Dame and the Cleveland Browns
dont belong on the same gridiron
any more than a Jake Lamotta
has any business in the same ring
with Joe Louis.
In their classea both teams play
nearly perfect football but they
aren't in the same dam. Frank
Leahy can employ the discipline of
the old college try if his boys
dont play their hearts out they're
yanked. But Coach Paul Brown of
Cleveland just as much a per-
fectionist as Leahy has the ad-
ded discipline of the dollar nis
men know if they don't win they
won't eat next year at least not
with the Browns.
His team doesnt merely do moat
things well. It docs everything
well. There is a specialist for every
job paid well to do it right. And
the Job is done right
It is easy to foretell what would
happen if Notre Dame ever took
on the Browns. The Ramblers
were held to a one-touchdown tie
at the half by a fast-charging
North Carolina line that mussed
up the South Bend barkfield. But
in the second half the Notre Dame
reserve power wore down the
Tarheel forward wall. It was n't
until then that Quarterback Bobby
Williams could get hia passes
clicking.
Against Cleveland Notre
Dame would find the situation
exactly reversed. Ne amateur
outfit in the land ne matter
hew strong er talented rould
stand up against the Browns.
Their forward wall features
hefUes like Forrest Grigg. n
214-pound tackle about as Im-
pregnable aa an elephant.
The simple truth is that by half-
time the Browns would have worn
the Notre Dame line to splinters
and smothered its backs so often
they would have a feeling they
were playing in eiderdown quilts.
And meanwhile Cleveland
would have passed or linbucked
the dazed Ramblers silly.
Against the powerful Yankees
last Sunday the Cleveland quar-
terback Otto Graham a shy 195-
pound iad who likes to play the
violin completed 19 of 34 passes
for 382 yards. He had thrown 69
consecutive passes in five games
before one was intercepted. Mac
Speedie the end caught 11 Graham-flung
passes for 228 yards
a conference record.
Yes Notre Dame is mighty but
it would be mighty foolish ever
to trot out on a gridiron with a
pro team like the Cleveland
Browns. For professional football
separates the men from the bays
and there is no way for the boys
to bridge the gap.

Although there is some debate
on the origin of meteorites they
probally are the remains of
masaes circulating about the sun.

SOUTH AMERICANS
THEMSELVES DRINK
MORE COFFEE
Washington Nov. 22 (I1) Re-
duced Brazilian cultivation and
higher U. S. consumption aren't
the only reasons for record-high
coffee prices in this country.
Fact Is. the eammerrr depart-
ment reports. Itonth Americans
themselves are drinking more
coffee than they used to.
An analysis by the departniu!
said that no immediate shortage
of coffee ia foreseen in this coun-
try. and listed some cheerful signs
in recent developments:
J Fresh reports from Brazil it
said indicate that a two
months drought there had ended
and that the next harvest of coffee
may be aa large as the current
rrop."
2 Present high coffee prices may
encourage additional planting
as well as land fertilization and
more careful cultivation of Brazil-
ian coffee trees.
B Colombia which ranks next
" to Brazil as a coffee produc-
ing country has upped production
almost one-third since prewar and
ia expected to keep up the pres-
ent pace.
One factor pushing up prices
here doesn't seem likely to let
up. That U. 8 coffee drinking.
Americans now drink on the
average (which means including
a theoretical share for the big
crop of war babies who are still
milk drinkers) over 19 pounds o
year each third more than
prewar.
And the U. S.. easily the leading
coffee drinking country in the
world takes two-thirds to three-
fourths of the entire world's ex-
portabla production.
