COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Bv SPECTATOR
Prompt Action Forestalls Trouble
One thing I learned in Peru: sometimes you must act, act
promptly and vigorously, before opposition develops. When
the matter is a thing dune, unhecho, as the Spaniards say,
the would-be opposition is confronted with a thing done, no
longer a theory or mere speculation.
We could so easily have headed off all this trouble with
Cuba, which now is complicated with Russia. Shilly-shally
ing has cost America the respect of the world and millions
of dollars already, with the prospect of spending billions
more, in war and the pensions for fifty years.
*1 had the presumption to suggest plans two years ago;
and I now presume to suggest that we forthwith send a pow
erful fleet to cruise around Cuba as a demonstration of
might and purpose. We are handling world affairs with
lillyrtirigers and we are losing the respect and confidence
of our own people, as well as of the world.
If we can’t deal with Cuba what does Russia think of us?
Powell Jaunts Need Investigation
Many phases of that jaunt of Adam Clayton Powell de
serves study by the citizens of our Republic, but one will
strike us as worth special study, perhaps some Grand Jury
might study it, if the Congress itself and the Comptroller
General of the United States do not act.
I may not have all the details, but, as I read it, we sell
millions of dollars to other nations and they pay in their
own money. So there are millions of dollars due the Gov
ernment of our country but the foreign countries can’t send
their money to us and apparently, can’t buy our money in

Final Report for 1962
THE DRIVE TO FILL in the
blueprint for socialism in Amer
ica was blunted this year by a
balky Congress, which was made
that way largely because of an
aroused electorate. Grassroots
America made its will felt in the
halls of Congress this year in
more ways and on more issues
than in any year since I have
been in the Senate. . Many legis
lative items which did not square
•with the Constitution, which
would concentrate more power
in Washington, and which would
increase the budget deficit did
not get through the Congress.
Or, if they did get through, they
limped through after being
winged by restricting amend
ments.
DURING THIS SESSION the
President requested more money
and more power than ever be
fore in the history of this coun
try. Senator Harry Byrd has
documented power requests
totaling more than 200 in num
ber. Here are some of the pow
er requests the President didn't
get fulfilled: (1) power to raise
or lower taxes at his will; (2)
power to create a Department
of Urban Affairs and Housing;
(3) power to outlaw literacy
tests as a pre-requisite for vot
ing; (4) power to bring the Fed
eral Reserve Board Chairman
more under his control by
changing his term of serriee
from 14 to 4 years; (5) power
to withhold taxes an divi lends
and interest; (6) power to
Ush a
health
and (7) power to withhold union
dues from the pay of drUsn
government employees.
HERE ARE SOME OF the
power requests which got
winged but approved in some
form: (1) power to spend addi
tional funds for public works
projects; (2) power to reorgan
ize some agencies to gain great
er control over their operations;
(3) power to increase controls
over agriculture; and (4) power
to purchase bonds to support
United Nations operations.
THE MAJOR POWER victory
the President gained was pas
sage of the Trade Expansion
Bill in substantially the form
requested. This bill gives the
President the greatest delega
tion of power ever provided any
President in regulating foreign
commerce and trade, an area
specifically granted to the Con-
gress under the Constitution.
WHILE THE CONGRESS
balked on some legislative re
quests, it gave the President full
support—and in sons cases
more than he requested—in ap
proving the following legisla
tion: (1) increased funds for 3
stronger defense force and more
space explorations; (2) author
ity to call-up 150,000 Reservists
if needed; (3) a resolution ex
pressing Congressional concern
over the commnnist arms build
up in Cuba; (4) a communica
tions satellite system to be
operated by private enterprise
with appropriate government
regulations; (5) tightening of
food and drug laws; (6) a tax-
exempt retirement plan for self-
employed persons; and (7) in
creased postal rates and a w ge
boost for government employees.
INCREASED PUBLIC CON
CERN over the cold war has
also had its effects on Capitol
Hill. Strong public support was
primarily responsible for the in
vestigation into censorship of
military anti-communist state
ments and cold war education
programs. The investigation be
gan in January and was con
cluded in June after receiving
statements from more than 100
persons and after compiling
more than 8 million words of
testimony.

committee report, which wifl

tremendous. Everyone may not

BECAUSE OF THIS Im-
creased public interest in the
cold w*r, the Congress this year
put a few restrictions on aid to
communist countries and also
eliminated fromi the trade bill a
provision giving special treat
ment to Communist Poland and
Yugoslavia.
THE GREATEST LESSON to
be learned from this session is
the importance of public concern
and interest in national affairs.
Lincoln’s old truism that “with
public ' sentiment nothing can
fail; without it, nothing can suc
ceed” proved its mettle in the
2nd Session of the 87th Con
gress, even against the power
and patronage of a determined
and politically-astute Adminis
tration.

It appears that our Government
holds these vast sums in the Em

Atm part of Section 9 of Article
1 “Xu money shall be drawn from
the 1reasury, but in consequence
of appropriations made by Law;
and a regular statement and ac
count of the receipts and expendi
tures of all public money shall be
published from time to time.”
W ell now! How much have we
to our credit in pounds, Francs,
Guilders, Pesos. Soles, Krones,
Liras, Escudos, Cruzeiros, Rupees,
Dinars and others? And what Act
of Appropriation has the Congress
made in this case.
In fact', by what authority of
law could the Congress authorize
or condone such grabbing of the
Nation’s money under any guise
which honorable men recognize?
The tax payer was born to be
flim-flammed, cajoled, and duped.
I quote something which is naus
eating and which should be pre
sented to a Grand Jury.
In two very reputable dailies I
find the story which I quote in
part. No cheap, yellow journal
cai i ies the story, but The Sumter
Item and The Aiken Standard and
Review, both papers which I
greatly respect and esteem.
By special permission of Mr.
Drew Pearson I quote his ‘story”
which should shock all citizens:
“Adam Clayton Powell, the deb
onair congressman from Harlem,
has been sending post cards
home from one of the most unique
junkets m congressional history.
With Congress stewing over vi
tally important legislation, Powell
has gone off to the night clubs of
Paris, the theaters of London, the
film festival of Venice, and the
delights of a cruise through the
Gieek islands, largely at govern
ment expense.
He has taken with him two lady
members of his staff, Mrs. Tamara
J. all, a young blonde divorcee,
and Miss Corrine Huff, reception
ist, in Powell’s office, a dark-com
plexioned former runner-up in the
Miss Universe contest. Officially,
they will study equal opportunity
for women ...
•Powell then sailed on the Queen
Mary August 8 with his two sec
retaries—at t he taxpayers’ ex
pense.
Just before he sailed, he asked
the State Department to arrange
a plush sight-seeing tour of Eu
rope, and the State Department
accordingly sent the following
cable to its embassies in London,
Paris, Rome, Athens and Venice:
‘Congressman Adam C. Powell,
Chairman Committee Education
and Labor accompanied by Mrs.
Tamara J. Wall and Miss Corrine
Huff staff members traveling
western Europe accordance follow
ing itinerary:
‘August 8 sailing Queen Mary
arriving Southampton 8-13; Paris
8-16; Venice 8-20; Rome 8-23;
Athens 8-27; Delphi 8-30; sailing
Leonardo da Yinci 8-15 from Gil-
braltar. Arrival time and flights
forwarded when firm.
‘Provisions handbook congress
ional travel apply. Codel and party
authorized use local currencies
19FT561 funds. Meet assist ap
point control officers’.
This means that ‘Codel’, the
cable abbreviatipn for Powell’s
‘congressional delegation’ could get
counterpart funds in each city
without having to account for
them. Counterpart funds are iocal
currency which American embas
sies have on hand usually in pay
ment for surplus farm products,
and th j State Department’s cable
meant that Powell and his two
secretaries could dip into these
funds for shopping, night-club
bing, tips to doormen, etc.
‘Request one single and one
double with bath as follows’, con
tinued the State Department cable.
‘London — Cumberland Marble
Arch Hotel; Paris Hotel San Re

‘London,’ continued the State
Department cable ‘request three

to repeat those which have moved

The Lido is the Paris night club
famous for its undraped girlies,
and the head of the Abyssinian
Baptist Church had the American
embassy, busy with common mar
ket and NATO problems, make
sure he had the best table at the
first show in order to study equal
opportunities for women.
‘Venice—if the film festival go

they got off the boat.”
A WASHINGTON LETTER
From
OLIN D. JOHNSTON
SOUTH CAROLINA’S SENIOR SENATOR
ORIGINAL SIN
THE TRAGIC MESS in Mis
sissippi will go down in history
as one of the blackest days in
our history, paralleling only
the original sin when the Con
stitution was broken in 1957
by President Eisenhower with
Federal bayonets in Little
Rock. I condemned Eisenhow
er’s militaristic brutality and
ignorance of the Constitution
in Little Rock then, and I con
demn just as vigorously the ac
tion of President Kennedy in
Mississippi now.
* * *
THE WEEKEND before
troops were called out in
Mississippi I called Attor
ney General Kennedy to
warn that Federal troop in
tervention or any display of
armed might in Mississippi
would inevitably lead to
bloodshed. I personally be
lieve in the doctrine of inter
position imposed by Gover
nor Barnett and stated that
the President had no consti
tutional right to intervene in
the matter aa he did. The
peace was not broken nntil
after the troops had moved.
The question of interposition
had not been settled in the
case, and the use of armed
troops in my opinion caused
the rioting, bloodshed and
deaths that have resulted.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
IN A STATEMENT to the
Senate, I had placed into the
Record a current editorial from
U. S. News & World Report
by David Lawrence entitled
“Illegality Breeds Illegality.”
Agree!r~ with the article, I
pointed out the 14th Amend
ment is not really valid because
its adoption was forced at the
point of bayonets during the
occupation of the South. The
10th Amendment to the Con
stitution, which delegated pow
ers to the states not expressly
given to the Federal Govern
ment in the Constitution, su
persedes by far the 14th
Amendment.
* * *
THE FIRST unconstitu
tional use of troops since the
Reconstruction era came
when Eisenhower used them
at Little Rock less than two
months after the United
States Senate, including Sen
ator Kennedy, had voted 90-0
for my amendment to re
peal the only existing con
stitutional means by which a
President could use troops
to enforce a judicial process.
This illegality bred the ille
gal use of troops by Presi
dent Kennedy yesterday.
FOREIGN Ai9
THE SUICIDAL POLICY of
foreign aid is leading America
down the “Primrose Path” of
appeasement which resulted in
first the “surrender” in Korea
and then the “sell-out” in Cuba.
The Congress would be stupid
not to halt aid to Communist
Yugoslavia and Poland and to
countries engaged in shipping
war material and Red soldiers
to Cuba.
JAPAN, WHICH HAS
abundantly henefitted from
our foreign aid and lopsided
trade agreements, is now re
paying America by selling
Red China 50 percent of its
ammonium chloride fertilizer
production. Starvation in
Red China is the main thing
that haa kept it from spread
ing its aggression beyond
Korea, VietNam, Tibet and
India. Japan, in providing
her with fertilizer to over
come that handicap is help
ing to create a Red menace.
* * *
I DO NOT CARE who is in
the White House. It is time for
the Congress to tie the hands
of our President and see to it
that American taxpayers do
not provide the tools and
money to help our enemies. If
we cannot cut off aid from
People who are cutting our
throats, then we ought to junl
the whole program.
* * *
THE STATE DEPART
MENT is responsible for the
“namby pamby” philosophy
of appeasement which en
dorses foreign aid and which
helped Castro to power in
Cuba. This kind of distorted,
misguided government policy
that existed under Eisenhow
er led to our woes in Cuba.
Even though President Ken
nedy inherited the mess, his
actions on the Cuban prob
lem have done nothing to
improve the situation.

WHEN \SX
GIRL. OLD
ENOUGH TO
GO ON DATES?
When Is Girl Old Enough To Dote Freely?
£
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “I
have just read the column en
titled ‘Thirteen-Year-Old Wants to
Date.’ Well, I don’t think a thir
teen year old should not date a
guy who drives a car, but when
one becomes a teenager, there
are more activities at school.
At our school, when one gets into
Junior High, there is the Junior
High Dance. Usually a girl goes
with a boy. Her parents usually
take her to the dance and after
the dance they pick her up. some
times taking the boy home. I be
lieve that is the beginning of dat
ing. I seldom read the letters in
the paper, but this one I did be
cause my mother and I were hav
ing an argument on the subject of
dating. I am older than thirteen. I
was fifteen on Feb. 2. 1962. Mother
says I am not old enough to go
out on dates. Well, if thirteen is
too young, which I agree, when
is a girl old enough to go out on
dates? I think at fifteen a girl
should be allowed to go with a
guy sixteen or seventeen. Mother
always says that there is quite
a bit of difference in two or three
years, but when a girl of twenty
marries a guy of twenty-five she
says it’s different when you are
older. “WHY?”
OUR REPLY: Your mother is
as right as rain—as right as right
can be. You are too young to go
with a boy of seventeen. You are
too young to date a boy who drives
a car—or, to be more factual, you
are too young to have dates to go
“riding” or to drive-in movies
or the like.
Do you really have to be told
why two or three years makes
less difference “when you are
older?” What were your interests
three years ago? How much do
you think you have learned in the
past three years? Are you inter
ested in dating boys who are
twelve or thirteen as well as boys
who are seventeen?
