Echoes from Senator Taft's
speech yesterday had scarcely
died away when the State Depart
ment came up with some quota
tions on presidential powers from
a book by the Ohio Republican
Senator's own father, former
President William Howard Taft.
In his Senate speech, Senator
Taft challenged President Tru-
mans power to commit American
troops to the defense of Western
Europe.
Digging into their files on presi-
dental powers, State Department
officials produced these quotations
from The Chief Magistrate and
His Powers" written by the late
President Taft in 1916:
Two principles. limiting con-
gressional interference with the
executive powers, are clear. First.
Congress may not exercise any of
the powers vested in the Presi-
dent, and second, 1t may not pre-
vent or obstruct the use of means
given him by the Constitution nor
for the exercise of those powers. I"

of relief today after the Navy

has no resident doctor, no tele-
phone connection to the mainland
and boats to it are few.
Fair mounted as several other
youngsters sickened and a mes
Senger left the island and noti-
fed DR.. Berton w. Storrs.
DR.. Storrs asked the Navy for
help and yesterday they sailed
him across the bay. He inocu-
lated rs islanders at the general
store.
Today he planned to finish the
job. He reported things so well
in hand that the little island
school will stay open for three o1
it's eight pupils. The other five
got sick before the doctor brought

Taft by Quoting His Father

"The President is made Com
mander in Chief of the Army and
Navy by the Constitution evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose of enabling
him to defend the country against
invasion. to suppress insurrection
and to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed. If Congress

poses, the action would be void.
". In the carrying on of war
as Commander in Chief, it is he
who is to determine the move

Navy. Congress could not take
away from him that discretion and
place it beyond his cotnrol in any
of his subordinates, nor could they
themselves, as the people of Athens
attempted to. carry on campaigns
by votes in the market place.
The Athens reference appar-

the Athenian army to an offensive
