So, what about it? ~ Do you remember the story of the lad who put his finger In the dyke and kept it for a long time so that the impact of the heavy sea would not quickly enlarge the hole and flood the city? I am not Just rambling; I am thinking of the urgent need for watchfulness, lest we lose our liberties by inertia and drowsy acceptance of whatever may be done. I have long regarded cranks, kickers and all objectors as serv ing a useful purpose. Why didn’t we rise up in strength and vigor when the un employment Compensation Act was virtually foisted upon us by the Roosevelt Administration? Why did we so calmly accept So cial Security, thinking for the mo ment of the Old Age and Survi vors’ Insurance? Perhaps the ba sic idea appealed to our people; and I am not challenging the worth or value of tfaise services; what I am thinking of is that we readily accepted the intervention of the Federal Government. And so today: We run to Washington; we appeal to our Senators and Representatives for this, that and the other day after day. The notable attitude of most peo ple is a vigorous repudatton of words, but an equally vigorous appeal for the fruits of socialism and paternalism in foot. Where are we today? Whatever Mr. Kennedy wants, advocates or sponsors must run rough-shod over all our cherished principles, ideals, laws, and customs. We, as a State, live, move and have our being in the bright light of Wash ington. Not only did Washington send troop* into Little Rock, but Wash ington now sends hundreds of marshalls into Alabama. Did you hear and great blasts in Congress? No!! Why? Well, a Congressman who shows himself a real champion of our constitu- itonal liberty will be treated scornfully; be will see the smile of presidential favor turn to a scowl of disapproval. We have in Congress a number of old political hacks whose gov erning motive is to stand in With the Party, and, especially, the President. The President is the Party and the Ruler! t Who repudiates the invasion of Alabama? The Governor of Ala bama was exactly light when he declared hri intention to arrest Federal Marshalls who act un lawfully. I’ve read that the Federal au thorities seek injunctions and criminal action against some of ficials in Alabama. According to ancient law a group of people acting in concert to violate a State law are guilty of criminal conspiracy. But be hold the mw day and what It brings forth; those conspirators come South with the smile of ap proval, full moral (or immoral) support of tbs President and with the comrivaace of the Federal au thorities!!! In the field of foreign affairs, where are we? The bungling in Cuba was bring fomented, organ ised, fostered and supported by Mr. Kennedy's regime although our Government was solemnly declaring to the world that we would take no military action aganlst Castro. And, by accident, that is or was the truth for a more farcical invasion was never known; it can hardly be regarded as Military, a practice maneuver by Boy Scouts would have been more effective. With the Communists we are about as weak and ineffective as we were in Cuba. A long time ago Spectator suggested that we blockade the Cuban ports until full restitution was made for all American property expropriated by Castro. As usual we waited and waited. Finally Russia and other countries rallied to Castro. Senator Tillman’s favorite quo tation from Latin was the essence of political—and military wis dom: “Suaviter in mode, fortiter in re.” Translated, it bespeaks the suggestion of Theodore Roose velt—“Tread • softly but carry a big stick.” (Smooth and easy in manner, but strong and vigorous in action) • • • We are feeding millions of So viet satellites; we are spreading our billions and our men all over the world; we are feeding strengthening Communists, while enfeebling our nation at home. Our American citizens are being hamstrung in business and al most ruined by taxation while we nobly pose as Shining Lights to mankind!! Mr. Kennedy isn’t at fault in much of this, but our Congress is. Let’s be brave and look at facta: Why should our Courts compel DuPont to sell the stock it holds in General Motors? Was it a crime to buy the stock? No! Well, bow has it become a crime? Of course it is a civil action, but the moral effect is the same. When DuPont bought that stock it probably saved a great Ameri can industry from ruin. It really was a good service to the econo my of our nation. I am not a stockholder in DuPont or General Motors. But if I were, my hold ings wouldn’t amount to a row of pins. DuPont has many competitors; so has General Motors. So where is the right of our Government to intervene?

C TELEPHONE 8*5-6640 THE CLINTON CHRONKLB Crist tbs courts, th and tbs Executive Departments think pf building and enriching ivmnmy instead Of a club over every large Aren’t wu fortunate to have Du Pont, General Motors, end all our groat enterprises? Has Henry Ford complained of General Motors? Who com plains? Why? In the beginning I was telling of the need for. eternal vigilance sa a means of liberty. A couple of small Incidents have c o m • to mind: two mombrira of a grand Jury seem to have made revela tions of proceedings of the grand Jury. A judge is quoted as saying that no statemant is valid except by the whole grand Jury. When I was a law student I think all pro ceedings of a grand Jury were se cret except as reported officially to the court in session. The grand Jury is a body charged with the oversight of af fairs and must be discreet. A certain county supply bill failed of passage because the Sen ator incorporated a provision conferring authority on him to re ject appointments or provisions. Knowing only what the ipan In the street says of this, I am of the opinion that what this Senator suggested is really common prac tice, most Senators governing their counties, notwithstanding that every such provision or practice Is plainly unconstitution al; and is still unconstitutional whan the House members Join the Senator in managing the county. “The Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers shall be forever separate and distinct.” • • • Well, haven’t you oftrii wonder ed about our wasteful practice of throwing corn cobs, sawdust all over the land, Instead of utilizing the inherent value of these things? “In a small laboratory, a Gov ernment scientist is working on a kind of modern-day alchemy: Finding a way to turn cheap, plentiful waste material Info valu able electricity-generating fuel.” “If the procedures he has de veloped work on a large scale as well as on a tiny one, such lowly by-products as sugar cane seei- due, corn cobs, peanut shells and sawdust could serve to produce electricity, he says, ‘at least as ef ficiently’ as the most advanced conventional power plant now op erating. The secret lies in har nessing the enegry naturally giv en off by the decomposition of this vegetable matter; the cbemi cal reactions thus created emit i form of electrical energy. “Dr. Sister’s device is a ‘bio chemical fuel cell’—a new appli cation of a century-old idea. A foal cell, essentially, te a chemi cal generator of electricity akin to a storage battery; it converts chemical energy into electricity without first making mechanical power. But the fuels mainly tried until now, oxygen and hydrogen gas, are considered too expensive for wide commercial application. “Besides low cost, enthusiasts say, a biochemical fuel cell would work in any climate. White it’s still In a primitive stage of de velopment, Dr. Sister is convinc ed his cell can provide the basis for an inexpensive, low-voltage power source for many residen tial, industrial, military and out er space applications. Equally enthusiastic is Dr. John Welsh, formerly with the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and currently president of Joseph Kaye A Co., Inc., a Cam bridge, Mass., research and de firm. Dr. Welsh, who working indspondsntly on similar sxperimsnts, pro claims; ’Tvs psvsr soon anything with so many sxdting possible applications In my years in the energy field.” * * * As old Cato, tbs Censor of an-, dent Rome, always said, “And, moreover, Carthage must be de stroyed,” so should we with equal and unde via ting resolution de clare: And, moreover, let us return to our glorious isolation, building anew on the foundations of Wash ington, and repudiating Soviet Russia, as was our American pol icy until Mr. Roosevelt took Rus sia to his bosom and tried to live cheek by Jowl with the murderous crew that openly plots our down fall; so let us cleanse our house at home of every trace of com munism.
