Brandeis-Frankfurter Letters
Reveal a Policy Arrangement

NEW-YORK — Supreme
Court Justice Louis D.
Brandeis paid an annual re-
tainer for 23 years to Felix
Frankfurter while Brandeis
was a member of the Sup-
reme Court in order for

Frankfurter to pursue
Brandeis' goals in the area
of public policy.
Brandeis felt ethically
constrained publicly taking
a stand on issues of the day
while he was a member of

Israel Cost of Living Up;
Spending Cuts Are Urged

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Finance Minister Yoram
Aridor is expected to renew
his demands for sharp re-
ductions in government
spending in the face of an
unexpected upward surge of
the cost-of-living index last
month, following a down-
ward trend last year.
The Central Bureau of
Statistics reported that the
COL for January rose by a
record 8.3 percent, the
highest increase for that
month since the bureau
began recording statistics
when Israel was founded in
1948.
The COL index rose by no
more than 7.3 percent in
January of 1980 and 1981.
The bureau said last
month's increase was
caused largely by price
hikes resulting from sharp
cuts in government sub-
sidies.

The January rise was
alarming because it
pushed the annual rate of

inflation up to 127 per-
cent compared to 101
percent last year.

Aridor has stated his in-
tention to bring Israel's in-
flation rate down from tri-
ple to double-digit propor-
tions. His goal this year is a
90 percent rate.

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
American contingent in the
Multinational Force and
Observers (MFO) for Sinai
will include 600 troops from
the crack 82nd Airborne
Division, Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon was informed.
Four European powers —
Britain, France, Italy and
Holland — also will con-
tribute to the MFO.
Australia is understood to
be ready to provide 10

Uruguay and Fiji.

the court.
The arrangement was re-
vealed in 300 letters, mostly
unpublished, obtained from
the Library of Congress.
The letters were obtained
by Bruce A. Murphy, an
assistant professor of politi-
cal science at Pennsylvania
State University.

Oxford University
Press is publishing Mur-
phy's book on the subject
this month, "The
Brandeis/Frankfurther
Connection: The Secret
Political Activities of
Two Supreme Court Jus-
tices."

Frankfurther was ap-
pointed to the Supreme
Court in 1939, the same
year that Brandeis retired
from the court.
