Doyid Lawrence:
y. S. Faces Constitutional Crisis
question IS Being Raised Whether Government by Law
Instead Of by Whn Of President Shall Survive
Dovjd Lowrence:

America Is face to face with
the gravest constitutional crisis
In its entire history.
The question is whether
constitutional government-that
IS, government by law instead of
by the whim of President
shall survive. The issue really is
whether the President can do as
he pleases and go unchecked.
President Truman has COM
mitted acts that present a
case for impeachment under
the Constitution, which provides
for such action by a majority
vote of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. He has seized private
property without due process Of
law" Whether he should or
should not be removed is a
q question that the Constitution
says shall be determined, after
a trial. by a two-thirds vote of
the Senate.
To say that the President
shall not be indicted by the
House of Representatives, be-
cause there is some doubt
whether the case would result
in removal, is tantamount to
saying that nobody shall be ac-
cused hereafter by grand jury
because in the subsequent trial
he or she might possibly be ac-
quilted. That has not been the
course Of justice heretofore in
America in civil cases either.
Some administration support
ers are saying that the steel
case is not a matter for i'm
peachment but for decision
eventually by the Supreme Court
Of the United States in a case
brought in the customary way.
But those who make that state
ment are overlooking the fact
that the President of the United
States apparently cannot be re-
strained by a court order against
committing acts for which he
claims authority under "inher-
Evening star., 1952-04-24

ent power" " If there were q
specific law involved and he had
done something under a given
statute whose words could be
reviewed by a court to deter
mine whether the authority Of
that law had been exceeded, it
would be a different matter. For
the agent of the President, the
Secretary of Commerce, could
then be restrained by a court
injunction.
But an act committed by the
Executive under So-called Gin
herent powers" is something
different, and it might be years
before a court case could be
devised that would cover the ex-
plicit points involved.
Since the President claims
inherent powers" and there is
no way of effectively serving him
personally with a court order,
there is no choice left to Con-
greSs but to impeach him and
try the case now with the Sen
ate acting as a court.
Even this very week the Presi-
dent has again flouted the au-
thority of Congress by refusing
to allow his cabinet officers and
the heads of executive agencies
to testify before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, which
merely has sought to study
accidentally the powers of
seizure. When a President does
not even cooperate in the max
ing of study of his powers by
the legislative branch and de-
clineS even to defend his legal
reasoning or to explain it, he
emphasizes how far America has
drifted toward a concept of the
presidency which plainly ig-
nores the coordinate status of
the Congress as an integral part
of the American constitutional
system of checks and balances.
The arguments against apply

u. 5. Politicians Ignoring
Big Issues, Red Paper Saws
By the Asseciafsd Pros,

MOSCOW. Oct. 4.-The Soviet
government newspaper Izvestia
said today United States presi-
dental campaign orators were ig-
noring the chief questions facing
the American people "such as
cessation Of the war in Korea and
strengthening Of peaceful rela-
tlons between the great powers"
The newspaper ridiculed the
conduct Of the campaign, depict
ing both sides as indulging In
crude and fiery imprecations.
Leaders Of both parties are
speaking with demogogic speeches
putting on each other the blame
for the deprivations to which
American workers are con-
demned." Izvestia declared.
The paper quoted some epithets
1T said were being banded back
and forth in the campaign. Among
them was a statement attributed
to President Truman that the
Republican Party was a symbol
OF economic crisis and unemploy-
ment. Another quoted Repub-
lican Party Chairman Summer
field as saying President Truman
had descended to the level Of cheap
politics in his efforts on behalf
OF Democratic Candidate Adlai E.
Stevenson.

dressed girls in a variety Of poses.
"You see." Mr.. Ford told the
jury yesterday. you are what you
are with or without clothes"
And there's nothing wrong with
being what you are. he argued,
because this Is 1852. the period Of
enlightenment"
''The court" he told the jury,
wants you to come here with
your experience of life.
'It makes no difference if you
see it in a penny arcade or if
you see it in other places.
