THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1965 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN For the Federal government to exercise authority over the registration of citizens is to strike at the autonomy of the States and makes a farce of the Sovereignty of States. As L see it, every State should join in challenging this in the Courts; furthermore I think every State should solmenly declare such legislation an invasion of the self-government of the states. As I’ve said before, the legal scope for legislation by the Congress does not invalidate the Constitutional powers of the States; nor does the Congress have the right or power to preempt any field of legislation unless the Act of Congress is within the prescribed powers of the Congress. Apparently the Congress is either ignorant of the Consti tution or deliberately oblivious of the restricted field of Con cessional powers. Our State Attorney General is a very alert and resource ful official and he must admit the soundness of my observa tion. I do not know whether the Governor is a lawyer, but I think Governor Ansel would have sharpened his sword on this occasion; he would have spent hours looking up the law. Our lawyers of today seem to accept any Act of Congress as valid though we should know more law than that. The 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution should be studied instead of the so-called 14th Amendment which Tvas never legally adopted as is well known or easily ascer- ta iV \ Colony Church Is Scene of Livingston-Wilkerson Wedding 4<r ‘The 14th Amendment hit the Southern people where it hurt the most by disqualifying for State or Federal office all who had directly or indirectly aided the Confederacy during the Civil war. President Johnson encouraged the ♦Southern States to reject the Amendment and 10 of them— all but Tennessee—promptly refused to ratify it. Without ratification by at least some of these Southern States, the necessary 3-4 of the then 37 States could not be obtained. The Reconstruction Act ignored the fact that the Civil war had been fought and won by the North on the theory that the so-called Confederate States coud not legally secede, and this being so, these States had never been out of the Union. Also overlooked was the earlier ratification of the 13th Amendment by some of the same Southern legislatures that were now dissolved as ‘unlawful/ And so it came to pass that the States that could not get out of the Union in the first place, and which had ratified the 13th Amendment as members of the union in the second place, were now nevertheless readmitted to the Union by Congress in the third place, having performed under du ress the prescribed condition precedent to readmission, namely, the ratification of the said 14th Amendment. In spite of all of this, Secretary of State Seward had trou ble putting together his necessary ratification by 3-4 of the then 37 States, namely 28, because before he arrived at that riumber, Ohio and New Jersey respectviely had repealed their ratification. And so the Secretary of State announced on July 20, 1868 that the 14th was now ‘in’ the Constitution, but only on the assumption that the repealers by Ohio and New Jersey were invalid. But the Supreme Court, which so frequently imposes new constructions of the 14th Amendment upon us, has never said that the said 14th Amendment was legally adopted. The Court has always refused to consider that point, because in 4;he Court’s long-standing judgment this raises a ‘palitical’ rather than a legal question/^ “Last June 30 marked the end of a two-and-a-half-year foreign aid arrangement between the United States and Egypt (United Arab Republic). During this period we sent Camul Nasser’s government approximately $400 million in food and fiber commodities. What have we received in return? We’re indebted to the American Security Council for the following tabulations: In September, 1962, Nasser launched an attack on Yemen. His troops are still there, 50,000 of them, despite repeated promises to withdraw them. During 1963 and 1964, Nasser gave military support to Algeria against Morocco, and supplied arms to Greek Cip- riots in their war against the Turks on Cyprus. In October, 1964, at the second conference of the so-called non-aligned nations, in Cajro, Nasser led the attack on U. S. policies. In November, 1964, following the U.S.-Belgiu mrescue of the helpless hostages in the Congo, Egyptian mobs sacked :and burned the new John F. Kennedy Memorial Library in Cairo. Soon thereafter, Nasser began sending arms to the Communist led rebels in the Congo. When the U. S. govern ment objected, he made his famous speech telling us to “go Lo hell/ Our government suspended aid to Nasser, temporarily, after that slap in the face. But, on June 22, eight days ahead of the scheduled end of the program, President Johnson authorized shipment of the remaining $37 million worth of aid which had been originally allocated. This was done, said "the State Department, because of the improved relations between the U. S. and the U. A. R. Now it has been revealed "that Nasser has been selling thousands of tons of rice to Cuba, the U.S.S.R AND RED CHINA. We find ourselves in agreement with Sen. Ernest Gruen- ing of Alaska, who said: ‘Not only is our foreign aid pro gram (to Egypt) bolstering Communist economies through out the world, but, by not holding Nasser to the limtis of •exports, we have permitted him to restrict the market dis tribution of food to the poeple of Egypt. Instead of promot ing peace in the Middle East, we have been financing war and the violation of the right of man. 9? Just a brief quotation from Tom Anderson: “The Negro in America owns more cars, T.V. sets, homes and farms than all the combined Negroes in the world. The Negro nowhere in human history has ever even approached the materialistic comforts he enjoys in America. The Negro in Mississippi lives better than the average white of Russia. The plantation slave in America had more freedom than the Jtussian citizen has today. The Negro has achieved more in association with the whites than he has ever achieved any where, on his own, in human history.” Miss Susan Christine Livings ton became the bride of Mr. James Harvey Wilkerson Jr. of N. Char leston and Newberry on Friday, August 27 at 7:30 P.M. in Colony Lutheran church, Newberry. Dr. Richard Knudten of the Newberry College faculty officiat ed at the double-ring ceremony in a bridal white setting of tree branched candelabra. Floor bask ets of gladoli and palms were used as a background and the choir rail was entwined with smi- lax. Arrangements of gladoli and carnations were used in the altar vases. The family pews were marked with showered arrange ments of carnations in brass hold ers. Professor Darr Wise of the Newberry College faculty present ed a program of wedding music before the ceremony.

Psalm 19 by Marcello was used as the processional for the attendants. The Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin by Wagner was used for the bride and Wedding March from Midsummer’s Nights Dream by Mendelssohn was used as the recessional. Before the ceremony Miss Judy Willingham sang “Song of Ruth,” and while the couple were kneel ing at the altar she sang “O Per fect Love.” William R. Wise Jr. of Green wood served as alcolyte.

Mr. Wilkerson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Wilkerson Sr. of N. Charleston. He is a grad uate of Newberry College where Let me urge you to ponder well and seriously the gross and grievous breach of faith which the Federal government is guilty of in its championship of one group of people while reviling, insulting and deliberately betraying another group. Do you know something of our early history? I greatly fear that the men in authority either are ignorant of our history or deliberately violating not only the spirit of our National Constitution, but the wording thereof. When the Constitution was submitted to the 13 States for ratification there was a strong current of objection because the Sovereign rights and prerogatives of the States were not clearly and specifically set forth. Almost immediately the ten amendments were submitted to the States and upon ratification became part of the Constituion. Here are the 9th and 10th Amendments: “The enumeration in the Constitution, or certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” And then to be sure of clarity there followed the 10th Amend ment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are re served to the States respectively, or to the people.” Let me repeat : The solcalled 14th Amendment was never lawfully or legally adopted. j he received an A.B. degree in History and Political Science. He is a member of Kappa Phi social fraternity. The young couple will reside at 1144 Summer street in Newberry. Mr. Wilkerson will teach in Whitmire High school. For a honeymoon trip to Jekyll Island the brid€ wore a black and white sheath dress with an Em pire style coat to match. She used black accessories and an or chid corsage.

(Contriued from , page 2) It was notified that Federal funds amounting to $16 million would be withheld unless students and interns ceased train ing programs at Roper Hospital, a private institution next door. The training programs have been conducted for years. The medical college’s accreditation was endangered on ac count of the loss of teaching material at Roper. The message was clear: “Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.” The College of Charleston, an old and honorable institution has supplied a superior brand of education to young people for nearly two centuries. It now confronts the Federal jug gernaut, which threatens to seduce, bride, or destroy any thing or anybody that stands in the way of the Great Soc iety. Alumni and friends of the College of Charleston are numerous. We are confident they will rally around in support of an institution that has the courage to say “no” to the temptation of government money. (Ed note.—^Another college with the courge to say “no'* to the Washington dictators is Bob Jones University in Greenville.)
