justifies the president in using the
armed forces of the United States in
securing amends for indignities Suf-

As Speaker Clark stood with poised
hand about to attach his signature
to the resolution, Representative Mann
made the point that he was acting
without authority as it was Necessary
for the senate to be Informed that the

Penrose's statement as cheap dema-
