By JEAN TENANDER
Although not an actuality until
the conclusion of the Treaty of
Rome in 1958, the Court of Justice
of the European Communities has
existed in principle since 1952,
Andreas M. Donner, Chief Justice
of the Court, said yesterday.
The concept of the Court ini-
tially took root with the establish-
ment of the European Coal and
Steel Community, and it has since
grown to become the legal body
of the three European communi-
ties: the European Coal and Steel
Community, the Common Market
and Euratom.
The seven judges to the Court
are chosen by unanimous consent
of the six member nations and
represent these nations. The Court
has its base in Luxembourg and
has handled about 130 cases since
its foundation.
Court Structure
Sketching briefly the structure
of the Court, Donner placed the
cases it handles into three cate-
gories. The first deals with the
complaints of member nations or
private parties who feel the trea-
ties of the Communities are not
being observed or justly handled
by the communities. Surprisingly,
the Chief Justice said that most
of the cases have been brought
up by private parties.
The second covers complaints
that the member nations are vio-
lating the treaties. In this cate-
gory the executive body of each
Community( has a right to sue tne
member countries.
The third category, which the
Chief Justice listed as an excep-
tion, includes those cases which
demand that treaties be observed
between private persons. In a
case involving a dispute between
two Dutchmen about a ruling of
the Common Market for example,
the national courts must suspend
proceedings and apply to the
Court of Justice.
Won't Predict
When asked to make a predic-
tion about Europe's future as
either unified. or disunited, the
Chief Justice smiled and said he
would have to exercise "judicial
restraint" and declined to answer.
Donner did say, however, that
Hannon Tracks
U.S. Confusion
On Russians
By SANDRA SANDELL.
"The recent wave of attacks on
thie' American school system, the
consumer society, the national
purpose and widespread apathy
have resulted in hypochondria and
bravado, self-criticism and flag-
gelation, guilt and confusion,"
Stuart L. Hannon said Tuesday at
a lecture on the national intellect
sponsored by the journalism de-
partment.
Hannon, the assistant to the
president of the company which
runs Radio Free Europe, said that
the confused concern over Ameri-
can goals and purposes is a result
of the national purpose of the
USSR. Some social or political
critics "sound like Pravda or Dos-
toevsky's master neurotics," he
continued.
Semantic Needles
"Some of our most prominent
writers search for every needle in
the haystack of semantics to ex-
plain Soviet behavior, but Jthey
have not' studied the destructive
weapon of dialectics. Rather, they
speak of inconsistencies in Soviet
policy, zigs and zags, ambiguities
and contradictions," he said.
Hannon felt that seminars
which are intended to probe the

substance of an issue frequently
only leave it fragmented-result-
ing in two problems where one was
originally..
Discussing recent peace demon-
strations, Hannon said that send-
ing thousands of telegrams to the
President and parading before the
White House are forms of "in-
fantile communication." Persons
who use these methods "disavow
the process of communication
through elected representatives,"
he explained.
Birthright Kept
"We must keep our birthright of
to those without it. Peace without
freedom and help spread freedom
freedom is meaningless. We must
reduce our commitment so that
what we do, we do well," he said.
"Our national intellect must be
shaped to face realities. One can
be disillusioned only if one has
had illusions. It is no longer a
matter of what we stand for but of
standing for our deals to the best
advantage. The real challenge is
the potential of ideals. It is not
to pommell ourselves for our fail-
ures or to commemorate freedom
with monuments or to substitute
protocol for diplomacy," Hannon
said.

the Court has advanced more to-
ward a federal structure than any
international organization bring-
ing together international states.
In rendering its judgements, the
Court draws upon the legal systems
of all the memner nations and is
thus developing a. European com-
mon law.
The difficulties that would re-
sult if the Common Market were
to be united with the European
Free Trade Association nations
can be exaggerated said the Chief
Justice. It would be difficult to
join the continental legal notions
and the common law of the United
Kingdom, but the law in which
the Court deals is primarily eco-
nomic law and as such is a rela-
tively new field. Since this new law
is not steeped in tradition, the
main differences would be pro-
cedural rather than theoretical.
