The Veto Power THE POWER OF limited veto gapaftt by the Constitution to the jPresident of the United States is • vital part ox the system of and balances among the tlttee coordinate branches of our National Government. In the fry™** of some Chief Executives it has enjoyed frequent and effec tive use; others have employed it 'Hot at alL IN THE COURSE of American history, from 1789 through April 19, 1960, the veto has been invoked 2,171 times. This fi gure includes both regular vetoes and pocket vetoes (refusal to sign within the final 10 days of a ses sion) against both public and yriYate bills.- Tbef potency of this Executive power is abundantly evident from the fact that on only 72 occasions has Congress over ridden & veto by the necessary 2/3 vote of both houses. The extent to which the veto power has been used has varied E eatly among the 33 men who ve served as President. Eight Presidents—both Adamses, Jef- ferson. Van Buren, Harrison, Taylor, Fillmore, and Garfield— never used the veto at all. At the Other extreme were Cleveland, who vetoed 584 measures, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who used this power 631 times. President Eisenhower, who has vetoed 160 bills, has probably been overrid den by the Congress least of all. He has lost on one veto, that com ing on a public works appropria tion bill which he had already twice vetoed and which had been reduced to meet some of his ob jections. ' BETWEEN NOW and the first part of July, when the Congress is expected to adjourn, I hope President Eisenhower will use the veto power or the threat of this power to hold the lino on Con gressional spending forays. I also hope he will use it this election year to prevent enactment into, law of radical and politically- inspired programs which would foster socialism and the growth and power of the National Gov ernment. Last year he effectively utilized this power in lighting successfully for a budget of bal anced proportions. ON THE SPENDING (appro priation) bills, I would go one step further and give to him or any other President the power to veto any specific items within such bills in the interest of eliminating waste, extravagance, and pork barrel expenditures. At present, the President must veto an entire appropriation bill—the largest involving more than $40 billion—in order to knock out pork barrel items. In other words, in place of the scalpel to do the necessary pruning, the President is forced to use the meat ax or swallow all the pork barrel items. At present 42 of the 50 States have given their Governors the item veto power, and no State which has ever extended this power has subsequently with drawn it. I had this authority when I was Governor and found it to be a very effective instrument for weeding out waste and extra vagance. ALTHOUGH THE POWER of item veto has been proposed for years, the Congress has never moved to relinquish its right to pad appropriation bills through submission to the States of an amendment to the Constitution. Congress will never make such a move until the people demand that the President be given the power of item veto. This is a reform proposal which is long overdue, which, could be of much benefit to the taxpayers, and which would make a substantial contribution to national fiscal responsibility. Sincerely, WASHINGTON AND "SMALL BUSINESS By C. WILSON HARDER Almost 100% of the nation’s independent businessmen, 96% to be exact, voting through the National Federation of Inde pendent Business, have asked Congress to assure business freedom in hiring policies. * * * This is a significant vote at this time. As is well known, this la an election year, and with an eye on sixe- aUe blocs of racial minor ity votes, there conld he more sheeting in Congress this C. W. Hsrdsr year on the nebulous subject of Civil Rights than anything else. * * * This is not only a Federal trend. Politicians at the state and city level where there are large concentrations of racial minorities, also let their hearts bleed publicly for the strength ening of Civil Rights • * * There is a strong drive to this type of legislation In California, for _ if an employer seek leg a receptionist from a state at ettee dares to what color the girl that caDers at his office be, l^e is in for a let of icrstic yammer. * * * Now no American with a "background of respect for the U. S. Constitution has any deep racial bias. ♦ But most Americans also re- , sent having a gun stuck to their * * * 1 But as officialdom has al- [• ready stuck its nose into the - operation of business to further schemes of socialism, control ■■ ■■ ■ of labor relations, et al, there is perhaps enough precedent for laws that would tell each and every employer what per centage of his employees can be white, tan, brown, bfeck, pink, green, and so on. > * * * . And it is not without logic that these self-appointed Mes siahs of equality iu political life, unable to accomplish any thing with the public at large, will seek to make business the fall guy again. * * * In those industries where gov ernment has permitted Big La-, bor to move in with full force, as many employers know, they have very little say left as to just who they will hire, whom they will not hire. The union bosses, backed up by the fel low travelers that permeate the National Labor Relations Board see to that. * * * And it is significant if the em ployees forced on an employer do not produce efficiently, the NLRB does not volunteer to make up the losses. * * * Thus, if in all this political maneuvering over Civil Rights should result in still another agency to enforce some screw ball employment regulations employers might have little if any time left to make a profit, oo* Actually, the American Con stitution promises protection to all minorities. But there is noth ing in this document which gives any minority priority. * o * But issue is even deeper. ooo It is high time that the Amer ican business structure quit be ing the brant of all the crackpot socialist or do-good schemes dreamed up either for reasons of vote getting, or through just plain ordinary softheadedness. 1 - ; /ot ■ ¥ NEWBERRY COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Mrs. Chloe Amick, 1430 E!>ene- za Rd., Newberry.

JOHNSTON SOUTH CAtOUNA’S SENIOR SENATOR AT NO TIME in our modern history have our Pan Ameri can affairs fallen to pieces as they have in recent years. v ooo ONE OF THE first symp toms was the attempted Communist revolt in Guate mala which was almost sing- leh&ndedly thwarted by our late Ambassador John Peuri- foy, a native of South Caro lina. Following a briefing in Washington with Ambassa dor Peurifoy, I began a per sonal study of Communist threats to Latin America. In 1957, having become firmly convinced that the United States was drifting far from our friends to the South, and by inaction was encouraging Communist infiltration in Latin American countries, I prepared and filed with the Senate a document warning of Communist perils south of the border. THE ^ STATE DEPART MENT, encouraged by leftwing newspapers of the north, ridi culed my report and continued on the road of neglect and criticism of friendly Latin gov ernments. When the Castro revolution broke out in Cuba, I warned repeatedly that this revolution was not one seeking freedom for people, but was, in effect, a Communist inspired and dominated revolt which would result in an unfriendly government on that island. SIMULTANEOUSLY I urged the critics of the Do minican Republic to stop in terfering with that country’s internal affairs and pay more attention to bolstering friendships there and in other Latin American coun tries then friendly to the United States. • * • TO THIS VERY DAY the State Department cannot seem to interpret the serioosnesS of our deteriorating Pan Ameri can relations, and the Presi dent continues to believe that all that is necessary is hu re cent friendship flight to patch everything up.. Our future years in Latin America will be filled with peril if an open, friendly, warm, helping hand is not extended immediately. * ‘ * • IT MUST BE a hand with genuine help and understand ing, and not one filled with villificatior, internal inter vention, erfticism, and polit ical pap phrases manufac tured on M adison Avenue. If the present administration had only spent a small part in once friendly Latin Amer ica of what it has spent in the far-flung countries of Eu rope, Asia, and Africa, then we would ^oday have no worry south of the bbrdet. * * * THE PERILS we may face in Latin America include grow ing Communist influence in every country south of the border; possible lens of thp Panama Canal through sabo^- tage or political blunderings; and the establishment of un friendly military bases which could be used as springboards against other Latin American countries and our very own United States. • * * *. • THE TIME HAS COME for positive action to solidify the Western Hemisphere against Communist aggres sion. Our Monroe Doctrine needs to be redefined to in clude infiltrated as well as open aggression by foreign powers. Country Club Living Here is true casual living . . . in luxurious sur roundings.
