Adults can change jobs, move to a new neighborhood or take other measures to find a social life to fit into if the situation gets too rough for them. The teenager's so ciety is determined by the school he must attend. There he either adjusts, retires de feated or withdraws. Some of the batte lines are laid down by the economic and social divisions of the community, but the aggressiveness comes from the teenagers them selves. It just happens that way. I don’t think teenagers mean to be cruel. They are very scar* ly created.

Why hold them in venera tion? What claim have they on us? Their outstanding achievement; their suppos edly imperishable contribu tion to us was the Constitu tion of the United States. But we have been in error all these years; the Consti tution proudly bears the name “George Washington, President and Deputy from Virginia.” We South Carolin ians think of John C. Cal houn; our Massachusetts fr'ends venerate Daniel Web ster. But all in vain. We foolishly and childlishly cherish % document no long er valid; a document worn old and useless. Our big men of today thrust aside all such veneration as childish prat tle; the big men of today dismiss the Constitution. I have that on authority of a news report from Washing ton, D. C., not the illustrious George Washington of the Cherry tree and the victory over Cornwallis at Yorktown. No, indeed; the great George Washington lies in the soil at Mt. Vernon, about fourteen miles from the City of Wash ington. If he can rest in peace while the City of Washington undoes his work I wonder. I visited his tomb several times and all seemed qu et behind the iron gates, but that was before the new pa triots took over the Govern ment, the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Service—and all the sundry other phases and features of the government of the Nation. I read in the Constitution, Article 1—Section eleven that the Constitution “shall have power to declare war . . . and make rules concerning cap tures on land and water’’; to raise and support armies and make rules for the govern ment and regulation of the land and naval force,” etc. But in our innocence and lack of sophistication we feel that our intellectual, group so far surpasses that of those old men who labored in Philadel phia to prepare a guide for the Congress. ^As you have read, this Na tion has about 400,000 men in Asia, in Vietnam, in carrying on a military exercise with all known weapons, costing billions of dollars, Jhousands of soldiers, and hundreds of airplanes. Why we have gone to Viet- i pam must be a great secret -of State as I’ve found no one who knows what this is all about. If we win, what shall we gain? Can anyone an swer? Now if this whole affair is to exterminate the Reds who and what are the Reds? Did not they spring up in Russia? And now hold China, but then we have them ninety miles from Florida—in Cuba!- Yea, verily, at our doors Reds flourish with ease and secur ity while we rush six thou sand miles to Vietnam to curb the Reds!! And we run all over the world without even a Declaration of War. The idea of telling the world what this is all about is the solemn clause in the Constitution. But the Consti tution is what a group of old- timey men drew up; and we innocent people have regard ed the Constitution as' some thing for simpletons and un sophisticated ignoramus! We enlightened people of today refuse to adopt a Declaration of War, such a thing being out of date. The authority for all that fresh attitude is found in a dispatch from Washington of August 18, in a United Press Dispatch which I quote: “Undersecretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenback told Congress Thursday that declarations of war were out of style in situations like Viet nam.” The No. 2 man in the State Department also said Presi dent Johnson should not be required to ask congressional permission before he author izes bombing missions near the Chinese border. He said they did not threaten to ex pand the Asian war. Katzenbach defended presi dential powers and the 1964 Bulf of Tonkin Resolution in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, which is studying the rules of the executive and legislative branches in mak ing U. S. commitment® over seas. The former attorney gen eral said it would be ’outmod ed phraseology’ for Congress to declare war in Vietnam and that it would misrepre sent limited U. S. objectives in Southeast Asia. Sen. J. William Fulbright, D-Ark., the committee chair man, questioned the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution by which Congress gave President Johnson wide authority to conduct the war, and noted that the Constitution pro vides that Congress shall de clare war. Katzenbach replied that this particular provision in the Constitution was not adaptable to current interna tional situations. A declaration of war, he said, 'would not correctly re flect our limited motives in Vietnam . . . What could a declaration of war have done to give the President any clearer authority than the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution? Katzenbach went further Major Patte Has Command Course Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (AHTNC) — Army Major Chris Patte, son of Dr. and Mrs. Edouard Patte of 400 Pine St., Clinton, S. C., began the 10-month regular course at the Army Command and General Staff College, Fort' Leavenworth, Kansas, Augus^ 18. He is among more than 1„- 200 officers from the United States and 51 allied nations who are preparing for duty' as commanders and general staff officers in divisions or, logistical commands. They will receive instructions in the function of the general staff at corps and Army lev els. Major Patte received bis' commission through the Re serve Officers Training Corps program ,He received his B. S. degree in 1956 from Pres byterian College, Clinton, S C., and his M. S. degree in 1961 from the University of Alabama. Major Patte and his wife, Rebecca, live at 1421 Fourth Ave., Leavenworth, Kansas. and opposed a resolution in troduced by Fulbright July 31 which would require congres sional approval of , presiden tial commitments abroad. ‘The voice of the United States in foreign affairs is that of the President,’ he said. Katzenbach said that to re quire congressional approval of foreign commitments would deprive the govern ment of the speed needed to deal with the daily conduct of international affairs. But he added that while the President plays the 'preemi-( nent role in foreig npolicy. Congress plays a vital part in supporting and approving his leadership’ .... He said the raids did not increase the chances of (Com munist China entering the war and that the Gulf of Ton kin Resolution was broad to permit Johnson to select U. S. targets. ‘When forces are commit ted, Congress cannot say what the President will bomb or will not bomb’,, he said. Well, now, Nicholas Kat zenbach sets George Wash ington to one side and he smothers Ben Franklin, John C. Calhoun, James Madison, Daniel Webster—all men for merly regarded as great, while Mr, Katzenbach puts aside the Constitution and rebuilds the nation on a Kat zenbach Constitution; or does he need a Constitution? Katzenbach now tells us where we stand and what to do? Without being over-zealous. would it be out of order to know the antecedent of Mr. Katzenbach? We today put aside in immemorial antiqu- uity such names as Washing ton Jefferson, John Marshall, James Madison. John C. Cal houn, Henry Clay, and com mit our destiny to a gentle man named Katzenbach—not Jones or Smith or Williams,! but Katzenbach!.
