A similar claim was ad-
vanced after World War I, in
behalf of the large Slavic pop
ulation of Karnten, in Austria.

no likelihood that he will
voluntarily withdraw it and
permit a plebiScite. That army
shouldn't have been there in

Treaties and Our Constitution
Senator Explains His Proposed Amendment Aimed
At Agreements Which Override Our Basic Law

from mischief by the chains of
the Constitution"
Not even the adoption of a
Bill of Rights stilled Patrick
Henry'S fears concerning the
treaty power. Jefferson was
satisfied. however, that the
treaty-making power was lin
tied by the Bill of Rights, in
Guiding the 10th amendment
reservlng to the States and to
the people powers not dele
gated to the Federal Govern
ment. AS Jefferson pointed out
in his Manual of Parliament
tary Practice, Surely the
President and the Senate can
not do by treaty what the
whole Government is inter-
dicted from doing in any way"
In 1920, the Supreme Court
repudiated Jefferson'S inter-
probation. The court held in
Missouri v. Holland, 252 U. S.
416, that a treaty gave Con-
gress power to legislate in a
field shut off to it in the alb
Sence of treaty by the 10th
amendment. In other words,
the Federal Government can,
merely by making promises to
foreign countries, acquire au-
thority inconsistent with the
Constitution which gave it
birth. Such treaties, accord
ing to the Supreme Court, do
not conflict" with the Con-
stitution and are, therefore,
not affected by the admins
tration substitute for S. j.

Section 2 of S. j. Res. /
erects a bill of rights against
the treaty power. 1t carries
out an intended function of
the 10th amendment, frus-
trated in Missouri v. Holland.
Section 2 is the nub of the
controversy raging between
supporters of S. j. Res. l and
those who back the admins
tration substitute. Section 2
provides:
"A treaty shall become ef-
fective as internal law in
the United States only through
legislation which would be
valid in the absence of treaty."
The administrations case in
opposition involves some in

What Defense Dollars Bouqht
Ronnstein Air Base, One in q NATO Chain, Look
Alert and Deadly Efficient in German Forest

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE,
Germany, Sept. 18.-Every-
body talks about what defense
costs, but nobody talks about
what it buys.
One of the things it bought
is this magnificent air base,
carved out of a carefully
tended German forest near
Kaiserlautern within the past
year. German contractors did
the work and we're paid in
marks from occupation funds.
Ramstein is part of a chain
of new NATO bases which were
moved west of the Rhine to
face the present enemy but to
keep as far as possible out of
his reach. Some of them are
manned by our allies-for ex-
ample, the British, Belgians
and Canadians have the COM
mand north of here. Most of
them, however, are USAFE

Europe).
When NATO planning be-
gan, USAFE was using the old
Luftwaffe bases principally.
The Luftwaffe had looked to-
ward France and England. Nor
were their bases-adequate for
what seemed then such formi-
dable aircraft-able to accom-
modate the jets and heavy
bombers of the present.

up for November.
The problem that now con-
fronts the Republican Party in
next years congressional elec-
tions was diagrammed exactly
in last November's election.
While Gen. Eisenhower was
winning a tumultuous, over
whelming personal victory. the
party. itself. barely won Con-
gress. Its precarious hold on
Congress could be shaken loose
by much less than the normal
loss of the party in power in
off-year elections such as that
next year.
Gen. Eisenhower pulled the
party through last year. Now,
however. circumstances are
different. He will not be on
the ticket next year. The
party. in effect. will be run
ming on its own. In that case,
the only thing to do is to keep
the President, himself, up front
and out front as much as pos
sible in an effort to identify
the party and its candidates
with him. This Identification
process could not wait, so the
party strategists decided. That
explains the unusually early
start of the congressional cam
paign.
AS a matter of fact, the
Democrats got off first with
their big rally in Chicago early
this week built around Adlai
Stevenson, the returned globe
trotter. Republicans suddenly
realized some time before it
occurred that this celebration
might develop, as it actually
did, into something which they
must counteract. So they ex-
panded their long-scheduled
Midwest meeting of Republi-
can women into the much big
ger affair in Chicago over the
week end to which State chair
men from 18 Midwest and
Mountain States were also
summoned.

Why is the whole episode
important? It's because DON
aid Maclean served as a Sec
retary of the British Embassy

and the main job of Maclean
was to keep in touch with
atomic energy developments
here. He was secretary of a
committee of the allies, in
cluding the British govern
ment. and was therefore ac-
cepted and trusted as a thor
oughly reliable person.
When Maclean disappeared
and one of the reporters here
told former Secretary of State
Acheson about it, the latter is
reported to have exclaimed:
MY God, he knew every
thing!"
Maclean not only knew
about atomic energy matters
when he was in America, but
at he time of his disappear
ance he had been given charge
of the so-called American
desk" IN the British Foreign
Office in London. This is the
desk over which flows daily

Eternal Triangle
Nearly Puts End to
STORY of ; Loves
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Sept. 18.-"The
Story of Three Loves" playing at
the Century Theater, shifted
from the screen to the center
aisle last night when an irate
husband halted a supposed rival
for his wife's affections with a
tire wrench.
Five police cars were called to
end the disturbance which al
most started a riot among some
1000 patrons.
Officers took into custody the
husband, Morris Beber, 41-year-
old cab driver, and Otto w.
Sparks, 81, a clerk.
Each was fined $25 on charges
Of disorderly conduct. Magistrate
Vernon H. WieSand dismissed an
assault charge against Beber
when Sparks said he didn't want
to prosecute.
Be er admitted attacking
Sparks after he found Sparks
and Mrs. Beber sitting arm in
arm in the theater. Sparks said
he had met Mrs. Beber in the
theater quite by accident and sat
with her because he had known
her and her husband.

also be surrendered by treaty.
The administration argument,
however, is that the President
and the Senate can always be
trusted to guard the Nations
sovereignty. However, its all
tentative plea is that S. ).
Res. / would "hamstring" the
President.
AS token of its good faith,
the administration has said
that 1T will not. sign the pro-
posed U. N. Human Rights
Covenants. 1t has promised
not to use the treaty power to
regulate essentially domestic
matters. Assurances have been
given that executive agree
ments will not be used in lieu
of treaties. It has not indorsed
proposals for United States
participation in world or re.
gional government.
The anomalous situation
today Is that the administra-
tion's international agree
Matchmaking policy is COM
pletely consistent with S. j.
Res. /. Yet it bitterly opposes
a constitutional amendment
which would perpetuate its
present policies and which has
been indorSed by the Ameri-
can Bar Association, more
than 20 State bar associations,
the National Association Of
Attorneys-G General, nine State
Legislatures, and scores of ma
tional organizations in general
sympathy with the Presidents
program.
Opposition to S. j. Res. 1
seems based in part on mis-
information. That can be
eliminated by further discus
sion and debate. More impor-
tant, however, is the opposi-
ton of many prominent
Americans who have long
flirted with the idea of con-
verting the U. N. into a world
government. The year of de-
cision for them is 1856. At a
conference to revise the U. N.
Charter, their goal is a Charter
provision reading substantially
as follows:
This Charter and the laws
of the U. N. General Assembly
made in pursuance thereof
shall be the supreme law Of
the world, and all nations
shall be bound thereby, any,
thing in the constitution or
laws of any nation to the con-
trary Notwithstanding"

full and as American a sight
as you. could find in Iowa. For
here, as everywhere, by delib-
crate national policy, the fam
lilies accompany the men, and
while it isn't exactly illegal
not to have children, it's GER
tainly out of the ordinary. The
rate of adoption. incidentally.
is very, very high. What is not
so pleasant is that there are
plenty of children of half
American parentage available
for adoption.
The inevitable second thought
is that these dependents would
present a cruel problem if war
came. The answer of the mill
tary is that it is a congressional
policy. They add that the wives
insist on it.
Maj. Gen. Dean Strother,
commanding officer of the 18th
Air Force, which includes Ram
stein, will not discuss Air Force
cuts but, like all officers. he
hates to see fringe benefits
tampered with. His special
problem at the moment is that
so many of his pilots, costing
so much to train, will soon end
four-year tour and can quit.
His hope would be that Con-
gress would think up new at
fractions to make them stay
rather than cut down on pres
ent ones.

ly exploited it at their Chicago
meeting, and for this a whole
battery of complainants from
both Middle West and South
followed one another in teSti-
monial session, including the
three last Democratic Secre-
taries of Agriculture. The
President was accused of going
back on campaign pledges.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben

sion of a visit with the Presi-
dent at Denver.
The warmth of the Presi-

away the troubles that now
harass his administration. Eff
fective measures will be
needed. There is still plenty
of time before the election.

circumstances which suddenly

discomfort in the Farm Belt

oped first and continues to
grow and spread. To that wor-
ry, which is paramount, has
been added the recent fluctua-
tions of the stock market, the
significance of which is dis
puted.
In such a dilemma the natu-
raj play is to call on the Pres

Donald Maclean-a British
official, known among his
friends as a Communist-in
some strange way eluded the
British security services in
May, 1851, and disappeared be-
hind the Iron Curtain bearing
confidential information he
had been accommodating from
his intimate contacts with the
governments of the United
States and Great Britain.
Now his American born wife
has disappeared under circum-
stances equally mysterious, and
the world is wondering whether
the British security service
fell down again on whether
perhaps it now will be in the
position to confound its crit
les by exposing the whole story
and revealing that perhaps it
has known all along what was
going on.
The latter theory is one
that naturally arises Wishfully
among those familiar with in
tell1gence work. For it would
be incredible if the British
security service, knowing how
important it was to obtain
every scrap of information
about the whereabouts of Mac
lean and his associate, Guy
Burgess. would fail to shadow
the family in Switzerland and
keep in touch with every one
who might seek to talk with
the wife of the missing diplo-
mat.
Certainly if the intelligence
agents have been and are still
on the job, it may be days be-
fore they will discover the
place where Messrs. Maclean
and Burgess have been hiding.
There would certainly have
been no point in intercepting
Mrs. Maclean but it would be
shrewd rather to maintain un-
interrupted surveillance until
1t could be determined exactly
where she was headed.
