ated. The American people have
had a long experience of this very
problem of the relation between q
Federal Constitution and state
constitutions, between constitu-
tional and statute and common
law. The experience will stand us
in good stead if we draw upon it
now.
From this experience we can
learn also a lesson of the greatest
pertinance, namely that the initial
next of a constitution does not
establish constitutional order.
And order has to be developed by
judicial decision, by legislation,
and also by usage and custom.
Moreover, the way in which a con-
stitutional order works in fact
depends upon things which often
cannot be described in the con-
stitution, for example in our own
case, the two party system. 1t is
not mentioned in the Constitution
but the American government, as
we know it, is inconceivable with
out the party system.
In International relations poll
tics is called diplomacy and we
must not imagine that, having
created the world organization,
diplomacy will disappear. Diplo-
macy will continue operating
through the security council and
the assembly but also outside
these institutions in direct inter-
course among the nations con-
cerned in particular problems.
That is another reason for not
overemphasi sizing the mechanism
of voting and of membership. For
diplomatic intercourse will be the
real determinant of how the mech
anism is to operate.

Committee Heads Named For
Veterans Counseling Service

The budget for 1916 was set at
the same amount as 1945. $500.
Although IL was anticipated that
the work OF the Center would In
crease considerably due to vet
Grams returning from Europe and
the Pacific, 1t was decided that due
to careful use OF funds this year
the amount saved would, in addi-
ton TO an equal budget, take care
Of the increased load. 1t is antiei-
pated the funds will be furnished
by a $4,000 allotment from the CON-
munity Chest and $4,000 from the
City OF Ypsilanti.
Mr.. Buchen reported 141 con-
facts at the office by veterans and
members OF their families during
June as compared with so con-
facts during May. His report indi-
Gated an increase in visits OF newly
arrived veterans from IS in May TO
rs in June. Since the center was
opened Feb. I, 1945, 430 contacts
with veterans have taken place.
The executive committee auth
orized Director Buchen to arrange
for a secretary.
According TO the Army figures.
Il will require about a 12-montn
period to return from Europe those
soldiers who are TO be discharged

Four Amputations
on One Veteran

Battle Creek, Mich, July 10-AP
The first and thus far the only
battle casualty Of this war who has
lost both parts OF both arms and
legs is now a patient at Percy
Jones General Hospital here.
He Is Master Sgt. Fredric Hensel
OF Corbin, KY, who had both legs
above the KIN. and his left arm
above the elbow blown off on
Okinawa June 2 when he stepped
on a Japanese land mine.
Despite desperate efforts by doc.
tors to save his mangled right fore
arm, that too was amputated
while he was en- route to this coun.
try on a hospital ship.
I'D make a good picture for
propaganda against the next war"
drawled the good-natured Kentuck-
ian.
His wife, Mrs. Jewell Hensel, for
merly OF Corbin but now living
at Salem, Ind, was on hand to
greet him when he came in la:e
Sunday night.
Miraculously, Army doctors said,
Hensel is in good condition. They
say he will be able to walk on
artificial legs and use his =ew arti'
fiical arms. The sergeant hopes to
be getting around in a wheel chair
in time to celebrate his 9th BIRTH
day Aug. 3 and his third wedding
anniversary Aug. IL.

Many Autos
Lack Stamps

Although there have been 1885
full year license plates issued for
motor vehicles in the city so far
this year, and 1884 half year
plates, there have been but APP
proximately 5000 federal use
stamps sold by the local post Of
flee and it's branches on Cross St.,
and at Willow Village.
Some OF the difference between
the figures can be explained by the
fact that some OF the cars licensed
in January are no longer in opera
ton. Many Of the others are no
longer in this area, since many OF
the workers at the bomber plant
moved out when the plant closed.
But federal tax collectors believe
that much OF the lag in sales is
caused by persons not conforming
with the law. The penalty that
can be imposed upon a person using
a car for which no stamp has been
purchased for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, is SIS fine, or 30
days in Jail, or both. ANY car in
use is required to have a stamp
plainly posted on the windshield.
