RIGHTS OF PEOPLE
HELD ABOVE STATE
Constitution Should Not Be
Barrier, National U. Grad
yates Told.


Garland Pollard, former Governor OF
Virginia, last night told the gradual
ing classes of National University the
Constitution should be amended, II 1t
stands in the way of legislation de-
signed to remedy any great evil con-
fronting the country.
Mr.. Pollard, who now is chairman
of the Appeals Board Of the Veterans
Administration, spoke at the Univer-
sity's 67th annual convocation in Me-
mortal Continental Hall.
I'VE should not use precedents," he
said, "as some courts do-as devices
TO enable us to make up our minds
without taking the trouble to think.
Amendment Held Necessary.
eff the people of this country are
suffering from any great evil which
can be ameliorated by governmental
remedies, the power to apply those
remedies must reside somewhere. II
the Federal Government has not the
necessary powers under the Constitu-
ton and if the States cannot ade-
quately reach the evil, then. the Con-
stitution should be amended.
4 am a States rights Democrat,
but my devotion to the doctrine rests
on the theory that individual rights
can best be protected by preserving
the rights of the States. But il and
when States rights are invoked to
prevent us from applying remedies
necessary for protection of the rights
of the individual, then I am for the
rights of man as against the so-called
rights Of the State"
