I have not read that in the Constitution; nor does ti appear as an Amend ment duly adopted by the Suites and proclaimed by Congress; neither can I find that the Fed eral Courts shall have unlimited Jurisdiction and plenary powers in any and all matters; nor yet do I find any constitutional pro vision conferring upon the At torney General of the United States unlimited Jurisdiction. But, the Constitution is an old document and'must bow to the new ideas of the new Frontier, it seems. An interesting question occurs to me: suppose the Supreme Court should run afoul of the President. Would the court make a low bow fnd back out? We should have, perchance, a new illustration of the problem of the irresistible force crashing into the immovable body, eh? What do you think of tt? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, even Theodore Roosevelt would stand appalled at what’s going on today. Shall we make steel? Shall we ask permission of the President? Does he regulate profits, prices and wages? Now comes another Federal Commission and suggests with holding Federal funds from Mis- sislippi. Well, well!! This is no longer a free country, nor the land of the free; we must bow and scrape to the despotic autho rity. If the Southern States meek ly show no real spirit in the next presidential contest they will de serve to accept all that has hap pened; and whatever may fol low. We may sing that this is the land of the free, but surely it is not the home of the brave. Most of the brave are in the cemeteries. • * • If the Democrats in Washing ton rebuke and disown Bryan Dorn and Albert Watson let us remember gratefully those who stand true to the faith of the fathers. Our Mendel Rivers also speaks boldly for the faith of the fathers. * • • A speaker addressing the New York Chamber of Commerce told of the denials and contradictions in our diplomacy. Let me quote Henry J. Taylor: “On October 22nd, when the President acted about Cuba, French Intelligence told me that Mr. Kennedy had made a deal with Khrushchev to accept Khru shchev’s terms for a swap and take the missiles out of Turkey * N» In this instance de Gaulle knew all about taking the missies out of Turkey and the deliverations in Ankara in October. The leak reached de Gaulle, right or wrong, that this Kennedy-Khru- shchev deal had been made and that the missiles would come out of Turkey. President de Gaulle put the question directly to Mr. Kennedy and received a denial from Secretary of State Rusk and Ambassador Charles E. Boh- len; a denial of this information from Turkey that this was a swap that if Khrushchev would take the missiles out of Cuba we would take them out of Turkey.

DAILY comes January and lo and be hold we do take the missiles out of Turkey. My friends in the French intelligence today are saying to me, *1 told you so’. . -. In closing, I might say that as our great country faces each of these problems our understand ing of them, our support of our Government and the ability to harness American opinion, are seriously damaged by the Gov ernment’s own manipulation of the news. You cannot deliberately lie to our public on Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays and then ex pect to be believed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The immediate, solemn and indispen sable duty of our President to day is to re-establish the integri ty of his office and of the Unit ed States; a solemn and indis pensable duty which he was nev er authorised to abandon. It is up to our government to stop lying to us; trust us and tell us the truth. The spirit and will of the American people, in my opin ion, will take care of the rest.” • • • What is the teen-age problem; and wbat It the school problem? The teen-age problem starts in the home. Boys and girls who re sent discipline at home will re sent it in school. As a former teacher in schools and colleges I remember that of ten boys and girls respected the discipline of the schools. From many reports that is not always true today. At the bottom of the trouble, or problem, is the attitude of parents: they don’t require re spect and obedience at borne and they resent discipline in the schools. If we face the truth, boys and girls were not saints in my day, but they had less spending mon ey and fewer attractions outside of home and schools. When the teacher of two generations ago thought occasion required a thrashing be administered the punishment. In my boyhood in Charleston corporal punishment was admin istered by a cane in the palm of the pupil’s hand. Sane days ago I met a man in Charleston and we swapped accounts of our boy hood experiences in schools there. We remembered a boy who was frequently “caned” and who prepared for the day by the free use of powdered rosin in the palms of his hand. I don’t know what the punishment is in Charleston today, but people everywhere seem resentful of re striction. That resentment is ex pressed commonly in the matter of money; people buy and buy, apparently indifferent to the ob ligation to pay. I think I might tell a little story that explains that One day, while in Peru, I made a trip of inspection and upon arriving in a port found a Government man who stuck to me like a plas ter. When lunch time came I told my Secretary, Senor Santolalla, to invite the man to have lunch with us and to tell the hotel man ager that the gentleman was my guest and to charge his lunch to me. Mr. Santolalla, a fine Spanish gentleman, spoke English too, but in the somewhat formal style of those learning English in school; so he frequently tried his English on me. So, when I saw him a bit later I said “Alcalde did you speak to the hotel man ager”? He replied “Yea, Senor, and he said very well because Senor Enrique has pot the cus tom to pay his debts.” Now that is a growing habit here, it seems; so mariy peeople have not the custom to pay their debts. Of course men were never an gels (the Idtfees were, beyond doubt) but the unrestricted life finds expression today in a gen eral let down, all along the line. Nobody accepts restrictions cheerfully; we kick against the pricks, as the Bible says. Miss HoNmon In Sr. Drama Recital Kitty Lu Hallman was pre sented in a senior drama recital on Sunday, May 19, at South western University, Georgetown, Texas.
