SHOWS NO MERCY
TO INFLATED EGO
Saw Jones Score His Slam.
Thinks Present Stars
Inferior to Bob.
BY w, r. MrCAIITM.

~ VERY sport has it's odd charac-
~ ter; q guy who gets around,
sees everything and has definite
- opinions on the top-flighters
and what they can and can't do.
Such a guy is Sherman Ford, a we'll
known Washingtonian who has fol-
lowed golf and golfers for a good many
years, and has seen all the top gents
OF the game in and out of action.
Just to give you an idea Of the kind
of Fellow Ford is, he followed Bob
Jones right through the grand slam
Of 1880, from Britain, where Bob
cleaned up on the amateur and open
championships Of the old country;
through the heat at Interlachen where
Bob won the United States open, and
down TO the home stretch at Merton,
where Jones slaughtered Gene Homans
to win the fourth Of the major titles.
But where Ford has seen en- all
he thinks that the present crop Of
golfers aren't quite up to the Jones
standard, and he shows no mercy
TO the local lads who 90 up to the big
tournaments and finish down in the
alSo-ran list. In a way the guy has
a refreshing viewpoint. for hes the
No. l detlater Of goIfing ego around
Washington. No Iinksman who thinks
he's pretty good gets by the biting
sarcasm of the Ford tongue. He
accuses many Of the local pros Of lack
Of knees which is his term for the
rOnmOnlv used "C1ItS "
Puts Birdie on Cox

of Wisecracking He met Witty
Cox the big Kenwood mentor, at
Chevy Chase. He'd met Cox before
but it was the first time he'd had
good chance to talk to Wifi Now
take Cox here" cracked Ford. He
was getting a little old and creaky at
the joints, and he couldn't quite top
the bunch around New York, so what
does he DO? He packs his bag and
comes down to Washington where he'll
be a big shot for quite a while" And
he made that crack to Wifi. too How
about it. Wifi" he asked That's
right, Mr.. Ford" said the smart Mr..
Cox
Ford and Fred Mcleod used to get
together on Maniac Hill at Columbia
for what Ford called a golf lesson He
hasn't played for couple of years
now, following serious operation. but
he still gets around. He and Freddie
would get out there and argue about
everything but how to hit golf hall
They'd hit maybe a dozen balls over
two-hour stretch. We didn't do
much talking about golf" laughed
Freddie. And it let me blow off
steam" said Ford. BY the time We
finished we had everybody catalogued,"
said Ford.

CRAZY TRAILER LAWS

People who travel and live in trailers
are complaining loudly about the laws I'M
der which they must operate their homes
on wheels, and with good reason. No
two states of the Union have the same
laws dealing with trailers, recent report
of conference of highway users dis
closes.
If trailer traveller were two visit all
of the 48 states his vehicle would
eventually have as many lights as Christ
mas tree, one speaker declared. Red,
blue, green, crystal, amber, yellow and
white lights in various numbers and COM
binations are demanded by conflicting
statutes. In some states trailers must dis
play as many as 10 lights
Height limits range from IL feet in
Oregon to the sky in four states. Length
limits for automobile and trailer COM
bined range from 80 to 85 feet. Registra-
ton and license fees vary greatly.
Recommendations for uniform provi-
sions have been made by motorists as
sociations, but progress in that direction is
slow. Perhaps if trailer owners organize
and holer loudly enough something may
be done about it.

TELEVISIoN PROSPECTS

ing on the problem, hope to have it ready
for dress rehearsal in few years
One authority says that American en-.

greenish image, replacing it with the
familiar black and white, that they have
increased the size of the picture to by 10
inches and provided system of project
ing them on screen by feet, about the
size of home movies.
The experts report that television'a
range is about thirty miles, and this would
require 1000 transmitters to give adequate
.coverage to the entire country. The trans.
mitters would have to be linked with
coaxial cable and to do this would cost
s5O0,O00,0OO The next problem is where
is the money coming from?

able thing about Justice Maxey'S
address is that we are living in a
Z time when 1t is necessary to remind
our people that their safety is
threatened by failure of admins
trative offices to observe these ''com-
mandments." 1t is startling to realize
that the American people have been
seriously threatened by violation of
of every one of them since March.
1888.
Justice Maxey's address, which
was distinctive in its quality, should
rank among the finest papers pro-
duced in the realm of statesman
ship in many decades. It dealt with
craftsmanship, with the building of
our Constitution, with the requisites
and implications of democracy.
with the aspirations of great and
free people, with the value of Con-
stitutional government - with those
great fundamentals in government
which have brought the American
people so many blessings not en-
joyed by many people elsewhere.
In these days, when more and more
power is being concentrated in
Washington, we would do well to
pause and consider that, as Justice
Maxey observes, "An appreciation of
Natures limitations Of government is
the hallmark Of craftsmanship" He
continues: "Demagogues mislead the
people into the belief that govern
ment possesses the wisdom and power
Of deity. Statesmen neUeT confuse
government with God. They encour-
age the individual to be litter not
a leaner. They know that government
has no wealth and no power except
what citizens put into it, that the
functions of government are admin
istered by average men. and that
placing man in Office does not
change the chemistry of his character
or convert mediocrity into genius"
AS basic part of his lucid expo
sition of the wisdom of. and neces-
sity for, Constitutional government,
if a people are to be safe, Justice
Maxey placed in four main groups the
many commandments in our Federal
Constitution.
The first, he says, is that "The right
address questions to the al

of the several states to regulate their
otCn affairs must remain inuiolGte."
He then reminds us Of Jefferson's
observation that when all govern
ment shall be drawn to Washington as
the center of all power. it will be-
come venal and oppressive" 4h3c
The second commandment, the
Justice says, is this; "Entrlist no
Official tDith 1utocrdtic potUer." He
then warns us that The autoeratic-
minded hate constitution. An
autoerats proclaim high moral pur-
poses, as John Calvin did when he
burned Servetus. =. Their philosophy
is that the individual must for his
own sake be regimented. Arbi-
trary power always marks the end of
liberaiism-and true liberalism is
civilizations finest fraitage.'
The third great commandment in
the Constitution, he says, is that
Arbitrary polcer shall nepeT be
lodged in any majority" He adds:
THE doctrine of the right of ma
joTitieS is as wicked, as brutal, and
as dangerous to human liberty as the
now repudiated doctrine of the di-
vine right of kings. There is not a
dictator in the world today who does
not claim that he holds a mandate
from the majority. The American
idea is that there are human rights
to be put beyond the reach of ma
jorities, mobs or masters"
AS to the fourth commandment, the
Justice says: '.Since in the Consti-
tuition the people made only limited
grants of power to the Chief Ex-
eeutive and to Congress, and since
Limitations are vain if those to whom
they apply can ignore them or in
terpret them as they please, it fol-
lows that it is an implicit constitil-
tioTdl mandate which provides that
guarantees to citizens and limitations
on officials shall be potentialized and
maintained By the Supreme Court of
the United States"
The Justice also reminds US again
that mo member of the Convention
ever questioned the existence of the
Supreme Courts power to set aside
legislative acts contrary to the Con-
stitution. What the Convention
votei down was a proposal to
give the Supreme Court the power
to Ueto all acts passed by Congress,
before they went into effect Ga power
analogous to that now possessed by
the Executive" Further. he says:
Experience proves that the only
citadel of individual rights and the
only anchor of constitutional gov
eminent. is a fearless Independent
Judiciary"
All thoughtful people will agree
with the Justice when he says that
Americans, If they still possess the
core of character, will never submit
to the intolerable bondage of being
governed by a dictator however dis
guised may be his official title. Any
official who attempts to rule with
out constitutional restraint can not
be trusted by a people who desire to
be Free"
