More effective dissent to the Supreme Court's action was written by Irving Dilliard, 45, longtime student of the Supreme Court's procedures and editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial page (TIME, July 4). In a series of 15 doggedly detailed editorials, he denounced the "star chamber proceedings" in the case of Knauff v. the U.S. as a denial of her rights and a threat to the civil liberties of U.S. citizens as well.

...could the nation's press take claim for much astute reporting. It, too, completely failed to gauge the breadth of Republican sentiment. One reporter who had sensed the trend was the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's able, amiable Irving Dilliard, who, in the New Republic on Sept. 7 set down a multitude of reasons for possible big Republican gains. Some of them: dissatisfaction with the military, failure to come to grips with inflation, politics as usual, "feather bed" regulations for labor, bungling censorship, Congress' descending reputation...
