Ramspeek Urges Effor'
To Save Manpower

Government supervisors are not
meeting their responsibilities un-
der the Presidents manpower pro-
gram, Robert Ramspeck, chairman
of the Civil Service Commission,
charged last night.
Mr.. RamSpeck addressed the
Society for the Advancement of
Management at the Willard Ho-
tel.
The speaker cited the practice
OF many supervisors who refuse
to delegate a measure of RESPONSE
bility to subordinates and insist on
doing the whole job themselves. :"
This, Mr.. Ramspeck asserted,
resulted in an imbalance of the
work load and poor utilization Of
manpower.
The CSC chairman warned that
the labor pinch would be acutely
felt in mid-1952 as a result of
the defense effort and declared
that the fullest conservation of
manpower is needed to keep the

Anderson Optimistic
On Chance Of CLOSING
Democratic Split
BY the Assoeiated Press

Senator Anderson. Democrat, of
New Mexico said today he believes
the Democratic Party split over
President Truman's civil rights
program can be closed in time to
give us a united front" in the
1852 elections.
But Senator Byrd. Democrat, Of
Virginia. a leader of the Southern
Opposition to the controversial
program, declared the indications
lat this time appear to be all
against" a new unity.
Senator Byrd pointed to Mr..
Truman's prediction yesterday
that his Fair Deal" program,
which includes civil rights legis-
lation, will be part of the platform
the Democrats adopt at the nomi-
mating convention next July.
Bitter Fight Predicted.
Mr.. Truman told his news con-
ference at Key West, Fla, that
would be the case regardless of
whether he runs again or some
one else heads the Democratic
ticket. And he repeated that he
won't disclose his intentions until
after he sends his annual series
of messages to the new session
Iof Congress convening in January
IF the President is right in his
forecast about the party platform,
especially as to civil rights. it will
touch off a bitter new fight" Sen
ator Byrd told a reporter.
The Virginian recently blasted
the Truman administration in ar
Alabama speech. and he called on
Southern Democrats to "keer
themselves free to take whatever
effective action may be necessary
for our fundamental freedoms"
Anderson Optimistic.
Just what that action might be
in the 1852 campaign is still un-
der study" Senator Byrd said to-
day.
Senator Anderson, chairman OF
the Democratic Senatorial Cam
paign Committee, said he is op-
timistic that an end can be put tt
the intra-party strife over civil
rights.
He added he hopes a civil rights
platform plank can be worked out
along the lines of the one drafted
by the platform committee at the
party's 1948 convention.
That plank Endorsed civil rights
in general terms, but was ditcheo
after a floor fight led by Senator
Humphrey. Democrat, of Mime
sofa. Adopted instead was 6
plank committing the party to g
comparatively specific program.

Truman Slams Door
On Further Discussion
OF Eisenhower Plans
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor Staff Correspondent

KEY WEST. Fla, Nov. 16.-
President Truman seemed today
to have just about slammed the
door on further White House dis
cussion of how he stands on the
Eisenhower for President issue
but no one had any idea that
the question of his attitude would
die down.
Some who heard the Presidents
remarks at yesterdays news con-
ference concluded that he had
become fed up with recurrent
quizzing on the matter and wanted
no more to do with it.
First. he repeated earlier de-
malls Of the New York Times
story that he had offered to sup
port the North Atlantic forces
commander for the Democratic
presidential nomination at their
recent Washington conference;
pointed out that Gen. Eisenhower
likewise had denied it; said that
they both have a reputation for
truth-telling. and observed tartly
that that should end it.
Insistent on Fair Deal.
When reporter still pressing
wanted to know if he would sup
port the general. the President had
a terse no-comment.
The Presidents confidently
blunt assertion that the Fair Deal
program would be part of the next
Democratic platform also seemed
to be a notice to recalcitrant
Democrats from the South, who
have been speaking kindly of Gen.
Eisenhower as party nominee,
that the next head of the ticket
himself or another-would be
pledged to continue the Truman
line.
Gen. Eisenhower's political views
Or afflliation-of course. are not
known. but the President certainly
made it plain that Truman Demo-
Gratis will support only an avowed
Truman-stripe liberal.
Speech Scheduled for Tuesday.
Continuing to keep mum on his
own plans for 1852. the President
goes to Washington next Tuesday
to address the National Womens
Democratic Club. and the speech
will be watched for a hint of his
intentions.
Inasmuch, however, as he has
said that he has no plans to an
nounce until after his Big Three"
messages to Congress in January
there may be nothing revealing
about next weeks talk.
The President yesterday had an
other busy day, bearing out his
quip that he was getting lots of
work done in daytime down here,
and thus could sleep at night-a
privilege denied him in Wash
ington.

the trainers of the Constitution
provided expressly that only Con-
gress could do certain things.
Those powers are expressed In
section 8 of Article I. OF course,
Congress is given the power. and
the exclusive power
ITO declare war, grant letters
of marque and reprisal and make
rules concerning captures on land
and water.
ITO raise and support armies.
but no appropriation of money to
that use shall be for a longer term
than two years"
That reflects a certain and def
mite suspicion of a possible desire
on the part of some President to
set up great permanent Mill
tary force. Further powers OF
Congress as stated in section 8:
ITO provide and maintain. a
Navy.
ITO make rules for the govern
ment and regulation of the land
and naval forces"
There are other powers, such as
calling forth the Militia and dis
ciplining the Militia.
Power to Make Treaties.
The Constitution also provides
that the President shall have the
power to make treaties, but only
by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. provided two
thirds of the Senators present
concur. The. Presidents relation
ship to the armed forces is stated
only in section 2 of Article II OF
the Constitution:
THE President shall be Com
Imander in Chief of the Army and
Navy OF the United States. :"
There is one very definite limit
and I think it is admitted by
every responsible authority who
has discussed the problem-on the
Presidents power to send troops
abroad: He cannot send troops
abroad II the sending of such
troops amounts to the making of
war.
Some may feel that If the Presi-
dent can do certain things there
is no sense in arguing that he has
no right to do them. But the
division and limitation of powers
is the very basis of our constitu-
tional system, and decisions re-
garding the proper limits of such
powers affect the validity of many
other actions. such as the right
of Congress to pass legislation to
restrain the Presidents authority
to send troops abroad in such a
way as to involve the country in
war. True, the President perhaps
cannot be prevented from usurp-
ing power, but we can only pre-
sumo that the President will fol-
low constitutional laws passed by
the peoples representatives.
Protecting Lives.
Most of the cases which have
been cited. as authority for the
President sending troops abroad
are cases where the use Of or
troops was limited to the protec-
tion Of American citizens or of
American property.
The Boxer Rebellion is fire.
quently cited; but in that case
troops were sent into China be-
cause the legations in Peiping
were besieged and the legitimate
Chinese government was unable
to defend them against the lebel-
lious Boxers. So the various ma
tions sent their troops there, in
order to rescue those who were
in the legations. That was. a
clear effort to protect American
lives, to protect American diplo-
matte lives which were threatened
contrary to the law of nations:
and certainly it was not an act
which would necessarily involve
us in war.
