Court faces test of ethics power over judges
CapitolStaff Washington Chief Justice Earl Warren and his court confront a major constitutional question as they pass to Warren Burger the Chandler case, a dispute over whether federal courts can discipline a judge for bench and personal conduct. The Oklahoma judge Stephen S Chandler has been paid but unable to work after losing power in 1965.
