At AATIALIEN LAWS
SENATOR KELLOGG INTRODUCES
MEASURE FOR RIGHTS OF
PROTECTION IN BILL
Would Give President Authority TO Use
His Own Judgment in Dealing
With Matters From
All States

Washingt0n.-A proposal 10 confer
on the federal government power 70
determine and enforce. even as against
states, treaty rights which aliens in
the United States may be given was
introduced Thursday By Senator KEEL
logg, Republican. Minnesota, in the
form OF bin framed by the judiciary
committee of the American Bar aSs0-
citation
Senator Kellogg said that the meas
ure was put forward to raise the issue
and not to apply necessarily 10 any
specific situation.
Under the bill the president would
be authorized where in his Judgment
any statute of state or territory con
travened treaty rights of aliens. TO
instruct the attorney general to take
up the defense of civil or criminal
prosecutions brought by state officials
before state courts and TO secure their
removal TO federal courts for trail.
The federal courts would take 5aris-
dictiOn when any acts had been COM
mitted against aliens which would con-
| stitute crimes under state laws and
I penalties similar TO those provided In
/ the state statutes would be imposed
/ in case of acts against American Citi-
Gems. United States marshals and, If
I necessary, army or navy forces would
( be available to enforce decisions.
/ Under present conditions there is no
| Law authorizing Intervention by the
/ federal government for the protection
OF alines in state proceedings, Senator
! kellogg said. The bin, he added, was
intended 10 make clear the rights and
duties of the federal government
The bill was referred 10 the foreign
. relations committee, Of which Senator
Kellogg Is q member.
Senator Kellogg did not care TO com
meut on the possibility that the meas.
ure would apply TO the japanese ques-
ton on the Pacific coast, although the
terms Of the bill apparently would give
the federal government power 10 In,
tervepe in antialien land proceeding
under such acts as the California law
in case treaty rights Of aliens appear

one to make first flight.
From the airman's standpoint there are
only two classes of people, those who have
been up" and-all others The great advan-
tage of balloon is simply that there is moth
ing about it which detracts in the slightest
degree from the inherent charm of being alb
solutely free of the earth. We hear much dis
cusson in scientific circles about the fourth
dimension" But how can we expect to un-
derstand the fourth dimension when NEST of
us have no adequate appreciation of the third?
You who read this disagree? Have you ever
been ballooning? No? Then I refuse to argue.
for you probably belong to Class H.
Not every one who has a craving to "go
up" is eligible to the Fraternity of the Third
Dimension. But if there are times when YOU
want to get clear away from the practical
side of life, if your heart beats just a little
faster at thought of the infinite wonders of
nature, and if there still turks somewhere in
your blood the oldtime spirit of adventure.
you need only come with me on a short balloon
trip and I will show you literally ga new
heaven and new earth"

way. But the remarkable fact, which applies
we'll to any aircraft, is that one never
does get dizzy in balloon. The only reason
that I know of is that when up in balloon
there is nothing to give any adequate visual
impression of altitude. There is no connection
with the ground, which is simply spread out
like huge map. 1t takes very experienced
eye to judge closer than within so per cent of
the true altitude. On top of high building
you look down at the receding walls, with rows
and rows of windows getting smaller at the
bottom, and you realize fully the complete
perspective. 1t is all matter of imagination.
If you can imagine yourself falling past sue
cessive stages on the way down, you cannot
help getting dizzy, but there is nothing that
can produce this impression in an aircraft.
Having thus described at some length the
sensations that are not found in balloonng, it
may be reasonably expected that / devote
some time to those that commonly expert
enced. But this is as hard as trying to describe
the sensations of fishing. I have no thought
Of even trying to be the Izaak Walton Of bal
looming, for only poet would dare attempt it.
