LIBERTY INVASION
CLAIMED FALSE
Senator Logan of Kentucky
Addresses D. c. Bar
Association.

Declaring there is no basis for the
'hue and cry" that American liberties
have been invaded, Senator Marvel M.
Logan of Kentucky told the District
Bar Association last night that the
powers of the States are fully pro-
tected by the bill Of rights" amend
ments to the Constitution.
Senator Logan's address was de-
livered at the annual dinner Of the
bar association at the May1oWer Hotel
in honor of the bench of the United
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict and the District Supreme Court.
"If the lawyers and the courts re-
main true to the fundamental ideas
of government" Senator Logan said,
1.-The nation need not feear any disaster
in governmental affairs.
Powers Not Exhausted.
st do not believe that the powers
delegated to Congress have been ex-
hausted and I am of the opinion that
Congress has many powers that it
has never exercised. AS long as it
exercises only the powers that have
been granted to 1t we are on safe
ground, and, if it attempts to exer-
else powers not granted to it, we have
our courts to prevent such an as
sumption of powers"
