Too Long Deferred
RuL. T. Williams, Jr.

James Madison, 1.-The Father OF
the Constitution" is the only one
of the five foremost founders Of
the Government without me-
mortal in the Federal city.
For months the Senate Com
mittee on the Library has failed to
act upon a proposal Of Senator
Byrd Of Virginia to end this
century-old neglect Of Madison's
memory.
Early in the session Senator
Byrd introduced a joint resolution
providing for the creation Of the
James Madison Memorial Commits
sion. This commission would be
charged with the duty of reporting
to Congress recommendations in
regard to this memorial.
Week after week other commit
tees of the Senate hold their Ses-
Sions in their commodiouS offices,
either in the Senate Office Build
ing or the Capitol itself. But the
Senate Committee on the Library
has yet to hold a regular meeting
during the present session. That
is why, in the judgment of certain
Senators, Senator Byrd's resolu-
ton in regard to the Madison me-
mortal has yet to receive even pass
ing consideration by the commit
tee of the Senate charged with the
duty of reporting to the Senate
upon such proposals.

It will interest the people OF
Kentucky to know that the chair.

the Senate is Senator Barley

What his reasons are. If he has
any, for failing to manifest any
interest in Senator Byrd's proposal
have yet to be revealed.

For Americans Only

THE Massachusetts Supreme Court upholds the State
law requiring school children to salute the flag and
pledge allegiance to their country.
At the same time, Governor Charles F. Hurley of
Massachusetts vetoes the bill which would have re-
peaed the law requiring school teachers to swear al
legiance to the Federal and State Constitutions
That is work we'll and timely done.
Said the governor in his veto message:
"To repeal the law now would encourage certain
vicious minorities whose motives and conduct are
inimical to- and destructive Of the principles upon
which this Republic was founded"
Nothing need really be added to that. Except pos
sibly the words of Daniel Webster:
Massachusetts, she stands"

NEW PERSPECTIVE
Picturing the vastness of the uni
verse, he paraphrases Plato, and
says:
MAN is still imprisoned in a
cave with his back to the light
and can only watch the shadows
on the wall. That which we call
life exists only inside the mar
row zone surrounding each Of
the stars: and altogether that
space makes up less than one
thOuSand-milIiOnrmilliOnth part
of the universe.
"OutSide Of this zone, life
would be frozen; inside, it would
be Shriveled up so it is the
tragedy of our race that it is
probably destined to die Of cold,
while a greater part of the sub
stance Of the universe still re-
mains too hot for life to obtain a
footing"

which comes ever nearer and

AGAINST RULES

Hynes Terry, Capitol guide, de-
clares that the act would make
a good radio skit. But, because
there is no registration Of visitors
to the Capitol, no one knows the
names.
The actors were a man, his wife,
Rosie, and two sons. They came to
the Capitol with the thousands
who visited it on Sunday. Papa
had a movie camera and Terry
found him first in the Senate gal
lery. He had climbed over the
rails and was perched in the press
gallery, apparently ready to shoot
mama and the children.
Terry told him there were strict
rules against taking pictures in the
building. The man answered some
what belligerently, but when Terry
threatened to take his film he pro-
tested:
Honest, mister, didn't use
the camera. You can't destroy
the film. have the Monument,
the White House, the cherry

lures"
Terry let him go, but being a
little suspicious he followed him.
When he caught up with him the
little family group was in the old
Supreme Court room. They had
crawled under the guard rail. The
two sons were sitting behind the
bench. Papa was grinding away
with the camera. ....
"A-ha," exclaimed Terry, "give
me that camera"
He took the film and exposed it..
Papa slapped one hand to- his
