Washington civic and patri-
otic leaders today joined with
others throughout the country in
demanding tina Communist
propaganda be banned from the
air by the Federal Communica-
tions Commission.
From all sections of the nation
came kilograms and letters to
the commission demanding that
Earl Browder and other Commu-
nistS be refused permission to
broadcast their propaganda, which
calls for the overthrow Of the
United States Government.
Commissioner Aiming S. Prall,
chairman of the FEC, explained
that his office had no control
over the situation, pointing to
the section of the law which
makes it mandatory that candi-
dates of all parties be given time
on the air.
Cleric Adds Plea
The plea of the thousands who
are protesting BroWder'S speeches
on the air declare that the Com,
munist party is not a regular po-
litical group and should be de-
MED the air.
Destructive, un-American pro
paganda" was scored by the Rev.
IgnatiuS Smith, o. P, one of
the Capitals distinguished clericS.
In a telegram to the FEC, he
said he deplored any interpreta-
ton of the law which gives Com
munism opportunity to undermine
American institutions.
Action of Terre Haute, Ind,
authorities in arreSting BroWder
and a group of companions to pre-
vent him from speaking over the
radio was commended by Clayton

An Amazing Spectacle
By James T. Williams, T.

This Is a Senate, a Senate of
equals, of men of individual
honor and personal character
and of absolute independence.
We k1tot0 no masters, IDe Gc-
knowledge no dictator. This is
a hall for mutual consultation
and discussion, not an arena for
the exhibition of champions.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
It is we'll for the plain people
Of the United States, in the crit
ical times in which they live, to
recall to their minds the exalted
place in the American system OF
government which the Framers Of
the Federal Constitution reserved
for the Senate Of the United
States.
No thoughtful American will
make the mistake of confusing
the Senate, envisioned by the
Founders of the American Union,
with any member of the Senate
who falls below the high stand
ard of membership for that body
which was cherished by those
who established the government
of the Constitution.
Thoughtful Americans will not
forget that when the authority
of the Senate is invaded by the
arbitrary power of Personal Gov
ernment the fault is not to be
found in the American system
Of government.
The blame lies at the door of
those members of the Senate
who have no stomach for the
fight, who lack the courage to
repel the invader, whether he be
member of the Senate who
has betrayed it's birthright to
serve as the agent and tool Of
Personal Government. or special
privilege or any other enemy
of the American people.
"KNOW NO MASTERS"
To the end that the Senate
might discharge with fidelity
and without fear the great re
sponSibilitieS imposed upon it by
the Constitution to the Senate
was given great powers commen
surate with those responsibilities
Among the greatest response
bilities assigned to the Senate by
the Federal Constitution is that
of trying all impeachments. This
power is set forth in Article I
Section 3, of the Constitution
which reads in part as follows:
"The Senate shall have the
sole power to try all impeach-
ments. When sitting for that
purpose, they shall be on oath
or affirmation. When the
President of the United States
is tried, the Chief Justice shall
preside; and no person shall be
convicted without the concur
renee of twO-thirds Of the mem
bers present"
When a Senator or RepreSen
tative in Congress, member o.
the Federal Judiciary or Of the
Cabinet is impeached by th'
House and the Senate is callec
, upon to try him, the Constitution
of the United States provides tina
the Vice President of the Unitet
, States, who is ex officio Presiden

accept the Senator's invitation
and to inquire when he will
be home for the reception Of
visitors"
Senator Reynolds responded:
81 may say to my eminent
friend that I shall always be
at home to receive him or any
member of this body or any
body else in the United States,
so far as that is concerned.
I may say further that in ex-
tending that invitation 1 assure
my good friend that the latch
string is always on the outside
and the dog is dead"
AS other members Of the Sen
ate arose to praise the park
of their States, Senator Carte
Glass CD Of Va, announced:
"I simply desire to extend
a cordial invitation to my
friend from North Carolina
and others to forget their pro-
vinciaIism and visit the Shen-

of the Senate, shall preside at the
trial.
The House has recently i'm
peached a member of the Federal
Judiciary. The Senate has just
taken the oath as the Court which
will try this impeachment.
The President of the Senate in
the person Of the Vice President
of the United States will preside
at the trial as does the Chief JUS

President of the United States is
impeached and up for trial.

ing the amazing spectacle soon
to be staged on the floor Of
the Senate by the arbitrary
power Of Personal Government?
sUPINE SILENCE
What will the American people
say about the invasion OF the
citadel of Liberty and of Justice.
which the Framers of the Con.
stitution intended the Senate to
be, when they find out that the
approaching trial of the Federal
Judge recently impeached by the
House is to be presided over by
the Vice Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee in the
person of the Vice President Of
the United States?
With the exception of success
sion to the Presidency in GER
tain contingencies the only duty
of the Vice President under the
Constitution is to serve the Gov
ernment and people of the United
States not as the political errand
boy of Personal Government seek
ing reelection, but as the Presi'
dent of the Senate, without a
vote, except to break tie, and
with the solemn duty Of serving
the Senate as it's Chief Justice
when the Senate functions as a
court to try impeachments Of
Federal officials below those who
occupy the exalted office of the
Presidency?
What was the free American
press thinking about when, with
out protest, it permitted Personal
Government in January last to
stretch it's arm into the Senate
and install in the seat Of the
Senate's presiding officer a vice
chairman of the Democratic ma.
tional committee of which the
Postmaster General of the United
States is still the chairman?
What was the Senate think
ing about when it sat in supine
silence before this challenge to
Senate that knows no masters
and acknowledges no dictators?
What was the Hon. John Nance
Garner thinking about, patriotic
American that he is, when he
allowed the arbitrary power of
Personal Government to draft
him for such an unconstitutional
and unworthy role?
What is the secret purpose Of
Personal Government in attempt
ing to make of the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States . vice
| manager of it's campaign for re-
election?
