Ever since the fall of Abe Fortas, critics of the Supreme Court have been urging Congress to impose a stiffer code of financial ethics on judges. Last week, at the urging of Chief Justice Earl Warren, the Judicial Conference of the U.S., composed of 25 leading federal judges, beat Congress to the punch by adopting a tough code...

Warren's main objective in rushing adoption of the code was to protect the independence of the U.S. judiciary. Two bills now before Congress would require judges to make financial reports available to the House Judiciary Committee or to the Comptroller General, whose office is controlled by Congress. Until recently, the judges were able to resist such a requirement by noting that neither the executive nor the congressional branch of government required such disclosure from its members. But Congress last year enacted its own code of ethics-however weak-and the judges could no longer complain that they were...

We can't let this escalate into runaway inflation, and we're very close to that now." If Congress allows the tax to expire, he added, the economy could race far enough out of control to create "the possibility of a serious recession."

Both men were obviously waving red flags at Congress, which in economic matters often has a low level of sophistication and which has been delaying consideration of the tax extension. The main trouble lies in the House, where many Democrats demand broad-scale and much-needed tax reform as their price for supporting the surcharge. Hoping to avoid a rapidly developing impasse, President Nixon called House leaders of both parties to the White House. Over coffee, they agreed to make the extension bill more attractive by adding a Nixon proposal to drop 2,000,000 poverty-level families from...
