is DECREE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ?

Editor, The Citizen:
Suppression of religious freedom gave birth to the
United States; and taxation without representation gave
the nation its independence These things are our hertz
age. So ask Upon what constitutional authority does
this Comptroller General deny the residents of Sgsbee
Park and Peary Court the right to vote?
None! The decree violates the spirit of the Constu-
ton, not the letter Establishing federal District of
Sigsbee and Peary Court" is empowered solely in the
Congress of the United States Denying person voice
in is effectively denying his citizenship But
who do hear actively speaking against this violation?
None And therein lies the tragedy.
Many reservation residents" vote absenteeism in
various states but bssfuy pay local city, state county
and federal taxeswhou representation Others shrug
off their inability to vote declining to Eight City Hall
So Hail to Apathy the forerunner of national dsntegra
ton: the shady poitican's bread and butter!
To any citizen doing in the lethargy of assumed
freedom say offer complaint if your peace becomes
an empty in political chaos because you chose that
your voice was not heard!

IKE BARS EXECUTIVE WAR

President Dwight D. Eisenhower made significant
promise to the nation recently when he pledged the
Executive Department of the government not to involve
the United States in without declaration of war
from Congress. Though the Presidents announcement
was not considered major by some, it is highly
significant executive pronouncement
The statements most Immediate Implication is q
pledge from the President not to involve this country
war in IndoChna without action from Congress Sew
era Congressman have expressed fears in weeks
that piecemeal commitment of aid to IndoChina would
eventually lead to the involvement of small u s. forces
which, in turn might lead to serious consequences.
The President in effect has promised that this would
not be allowed to happen.
He said very clearly:
'There is going to be no involvement of America in
unless is result Of the constitutional process that
is placed upon Congress to declare it. Now let have
that clear and that is the answer"
Though many people do not realize it, five of the
engaged in have been conducted without Congressional
declaration of These include the Korean War; the
Mexican War of 191417, the naval with France in
1798-1S00 and the two Barbary Wars The latter
took place in the early 1905 in the Napoeonic era
In saying that the Constitution placed the response
biy of declaring in Congress- President Eisenhower
Is being consistent with his administrators policies of
pursuing of Constitutional processes His state
ment should bring relief to those who have been anxious
about developments in IndoChna and be example for
future Presidents to lean upon.
