He told newsmen he thought
the union has complied with the

the President could have sought
an injunction which would have

The general public feels the ef-

indirectly. A housewife in Florida
finds steel products like pins or
cutlery are disappearing from

can't buy the new farming equip

Others feel a greater pinch than
just steel shortages.
A dentist in a steel town finds
his collections are falling off and
his waiting room empty.
GrocerS and butchers are asked

FRIDAYS RECORD.

Mr.. Baldridge: I think in de-
termining whether the courts can
enjoin executive power, it is
essential that you look at the
circumstances which give rise to
the exercise of that power. And
think that here. particularly in
view of the affidavits that have
been filed in support of the Gov
Iernment's position, that certainly
the defendants have made no at
tempt to deny that there was and
lis a grave national emergency
that requires the exercise of rather
unusual powers in these particular
circumstances.
And I don't believe any President
would exercise such unusual power
unless in his opinion there was 9
grave and extreme national
Emergency.
Judge Pine: Is that your con-
ception of our Government?
Mr.. Baldridge: Our conception
of the powers of the Executive
your Honor. is that under the
doctrine of Separations of Power.
which I shall discuss a little more
lat length after a while, that except
for an occasional overlapping
there have not been and are not
lany instances of Importance where
one branch of the Government
attempts to encroach upon the
power and authority of the other
Judge Pine: Well. isn't it your
conception of our Government that
it is Government whose powers
are derived solely from the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Mr.. Baldridge: That is correct
Judge Pine: And is it not 50
that it is also your view that its
powers are limited and enumerated
by the Constitution of the United
States?
Mr.. Baldridge: That is true,
Your Honor. with respect to
Legislative powers.
Judge Pine: But not true as to
the Executive?
Mr.. Baldridge: Section l, Article
II of the Constitution reposes all
of the executive power in the
Chief Executive. And think that
the distinction that the Constitu-
ton itself makes between the
powers of the executive and the
powers of the legislative branch
Iof the Government is significant
and important.
Insofar as the Executive is con-
Icerned, all executive power Is
vested in the President. Insofar
as legislative powers are con-
Icerned, the Congress has only
those powers that are specifically
delegated to it plus the implied
powers to carry out the specifically
enumerated powers.
Judge Pine: So when the
sovereign people gave the powers
enumerated in the Constitution
it limited Congress, it limited the
judiciary, but it did not limit tn,
Executive?
Mr.. Baldridge: That is the way
we read Article II of the Consti.
tuition.

YESTERDAYS MEMORANDUM.

"This memorandum is submitted
solely for the purpose of clarifying
the defendants position on the
constitutional question of execu-
tive power which has been con-
sidered in these cases. We feel
that a further statement is justi-
fed and perhaps necessitated by
misunderstanding which may
have arisen during the course OF
oral argument.
"At no time have we urged any
view that the President possesses
powers outside the Constitution
and our brief, filed with the court
is clear on that point. On the
contrary. we have urged that the
President must act within the
Constitution, specifically Article
II. We have shown, by historic
executive usage, legislative recog-
milton and judicial precedent that
the President possesses the con-
stitutional power and duty to take
action in a grave national emer-
gency such as existed here. Be-
yond this, of course, we do not go
If the court understood us to say

court to dismiss two portions of

Prison Mutiny
Leader Goes
Beserk Monday

HOWELL, Mich. R-Earl Ward,
co-leader of the costly and bloody
April mutiny at Southern Michigan
Prison, may end up today in the
State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Ionia.
Ward, apparently going berserk,
attempted to wreck his cell in the
Livingston County Jail here Mon
day. He shouted and cursed at
times, incoherently.
The hub-bub he created among
other prisoners and the damage he
did prompted Sheriff Loren Bassett
to demand of State Corrections
Commission Earnest Brooks that
Ward be moved. Brooks replied he
would ask the Ionia hospital to
take Ward today.
Brooks said at Lansing he wasn't
certain Ward had completely lost
his balance wheel" or whether he
was lust putting on an act. "
Ward was listed as a psychopathic
case at Southern Michigan Prison.
Ward was transferred to the
county Jail shortly after the 5-day
mutiny ended at the big prison at
nearby Jackson. Authorities said
they overheard him and his CO.
leader, Crazy Jack" Hyatt, and
another convict exhorting fellow
prisoners TO stage new uprising.
Ward and Hyatt both are long
term armed robbery convicts. The
mutiny they led and a subsequent
general riot resulted in one con-
vict's being killed, nine wounded,
four state troopers hurt. six con-
victs being beaten up by their
mutineer pals, and an estimated
ia million dollar damage to the
prison.
