INTENT Tlic Supreme Court has a duty to declare a law uncon stitutional, if the law actually < onllicts with the plain moan ing ol the Constitution. How ever, the controlling factor in interpreting the Constitution actment, particularly vv h e n spelling out the intent of Con gress. In the opinion ot nimiv Constitutional lawyers, Con gress, by simple statute, could establish an age limit lor mandatory retirement, such as 70 or 75.

The tlon ' body of historical documents! AMENDMENTS is adequate to set forth the j Other controls would require 1 itnnt ot the }• ramers, Ixith as Congress to propose a Consti tutional amendment to tin 1 to the Constitution and as to ns Amendments—if the Su preme 1 Court wished to dis- cover that intent. But it appears that the Su preme Court is not interested in discovering what the Consti tution meant to those who wrote it. The theory of the so- called “living Constitution” holds that new facts and new situations can change the meaning ot old words. Nothing is more absurd. The Constitu tion means today exactly what it meant in 1787, or It means nothing at all. As the Supreme Court ren ders decision after decision that remakes America, the w ords of Thomas Jefferson are more significant, when he said: ’'There is no danger I appre hend so much as the consolida tion of our government by the noiseless, and therefore un- al;i rming, instrumentality of the Supreme Court." CONFIRMATIONS The only power Congress ^as chose11 to exert over is the power of confirming new justices, and that power has been exercised entirely in the allirmative. The power of im peachment has been seldom used; within the overall Fed- cial court system, only four States. One such amendment could set additional qualific,- tions for Supreme Court Jus tices, such as a requirement that candidates have had ,d least five years service on Hr' highest trial court in a St n or on a court with appellate jurisdiction. This would limit membership on the Supreme Court to experienced judges, and prevent purely political ap pointments. Constitution, 1 amendments would also he re quired to limit the term to a set period or to require periodic reconfirmation of justices Of course, Constitutional amendments eun also he drawn to protect specific rights, such as in the fields of school prayer or legislative rcappor tioninent. The Constitution pro rides that the initiative tor these amendments max also come from the State Icgisla tures, as well as from ( on- gress. Most of these proposals have already been advanced in (M . gress, but have not generated sufficient support. In the lone run, only popular opinion will provide the pressure tlml will make Congress curb the Court.

W KST FLORIDA STREET SOUTH HROAI) STREET siL’LBfh’K* COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR . . . W e seem to he in a world ol turmoil, struggle, strife, blundering and all that blun dering can cause serious trou ble Beyond a doubt America saved Russia and how! First we poured guns and ammunition and other re quisites into Russia from the North when the Germans were on the verge of thrash ing Russia. How did all that result'.’ A major ol artillery, now in a thriving business, told me that his command was order- id out of Germany so that the Russians might seize and oc cupy Berlin. How did all that end’’ Russia occupied — and still holds, about two-thirds of Germpny. And we, having some jmild grip on a part of Berlin, are about k hundred miles from the freeVGermany line. And as to China! China was threatened by the Reds. Mr. Roosevelt sent one of his able lieutenants to smile away the threat and the end was that the Reds took — and still hold - China. Our friends fled in to Formosa and we protect them with the greatest fleet in the world. Americans drove the Span iards out of Cuba and set up a sound government there, we reserving the right to in tervene to protect Cuba’s freedom. Our right was the Platt Amendment and then Mr Roosevelt smiled again and squashed the Platt Amendment. When young President Kennedy sent an expedition to Cuba we had already dis missed all claim. Now we rush forward five thousand miles to Asia to curb Reds. although Reds nourish in Cuba, less than a hundred miles from the Uni ted States. Who appointed us as World Protectors? And if our mis sion is a sound one why do we go to Asia, while the Reds flourish one hundred miles away? So pow we are' in Vietnam. Why'.’ Let some one tell us. Can any Congressman tell us why wo wage war in the name of amiable interest? W’hy has Congress never do clarcd war? Having m mind the Constitution of the Lni ted States, what legal nghi have we in Vietnam'.’ II we arc not at war what legal right have we to spend hi I lions of dollars, thousands ol men and thousands of planes in a foreign land? What legal right has our Congress to throw billions oi dollars all around the world while coldly planning to in crease the taxes here at home?

And with 35 kinds of Pontiacs, you can choose your way of Wide-Tracking. Our five Firebirds begin with a unique 175-hp Overhead Cam six and escalate to the 400 cubic inch Firebird 400.
