State Praised For
Highway Program
General Manager of Truck
ing Association Speaker
At Dinner MEETING

The State of Maryland was
praised last Friday night for its
"model" highway program by Ray
G. Anterior, general manager of
the American Trucking Associa-
tions, Inc, of Washington.
Speaking at the fourth annual
meeting of the Western Maryland
chapter of the Maryland Motor
Truckers Association, Inc, at the
Mt. Lake Hotel, Mr.. Anterior told
the group the state was to be con-
graduated on the inauguration of
an extensive twelve-year highway
construction program without inn
posing any inequitable, punitive,
third-structure taxes"
Maryland has instituted pro-
gram to spend 600 million dollars
in the next twelve years for con-
struction and improvement of its
highway system. Mr.. Anterior
also lauded the states concern with
the breakdown of interstate reci-
procity which is occurring from the
passage of weight-distance taxes
which hinder the free flow of COM
merce between states.
He expressed confidence in the
future of the trucking industry and
of business in general. He outlined
the economic growth of the truck
ing industry over the past twenty
five years, pointing out that the
growth had been due to public de-
mand for the type of service that
trucks provide.
More than seventy members and
guests attended the session. They
were welcomed by Mayor Joseph
limbaugh, of Oakland.
The business meeting was opened
by Chapter President Francis w.
Sanders, of the Sanders Motor

association. was POSTMASTER.

best friends say the Senator can be
pompouS on occasion. The irrev-
erent in Ohio called his appointees
to State office during his first term
"Brickers Boy Scouts"
The Senator was born in Madi-
son County. Ohio, in a frame house
that was an ex-log cabin. A farm
boy. he taught school for a year
after high school to finance his en-
trance into Ohio State University.
During his freshman year he re-
turned twice daily to the old home
stead to do his morning and evening
chores. He was catcher on the base
ball team, president of the junior
class and head of the YMCA. Re-
jected for military service because of
slow heart. he was ordained
minister for year by his local pas
tor and became first lieutenant in
the Chaplain Corps. Upon leaving
the Army. he returned to Ohio State
for his law degree. AS Attorney
General of Ohio. he collected Sc mil
lion in delinquent claims for various
State departments.
When he doomed as a Republican
presidential hopeful in 1910, he was
dubbed by Editor William Allen
White IAN honest Harding" A more
sympathetic observer, invoking the
patron saint of Ohio Republicanism,
called him "a Mckinley without a
Hanna"
Four years later, although plainly
the darling of the convention crowds,
he took second place on the national
ticket. While Dewey stumped the
country with cautious "me-too"
gospel. Mr.. Bricker was roundly de-
nouncing the New Deal and all it's
works at every whistle-stop.
The Bricker Philosophy
Actually his political philosophy is
best summed up in negative way in
speech he made criticiZing the
Supreme Court for usurping the law
making powers of Congress and for
holding "left-wing attitudes and
opinions" He accused the court Of:
/. A desire that State regulations
be superseded by Federal regulations.
2. A hostility toward business in
general and big business in particu-
lar.
3. An irrepressible sympathy for
the underdog in both economic and
political activities.

Core of the Controversy

T Asst WEEK the Senate began debate on a pro-
- posal to amend the Constitution of the United
States relative to making treaties and executive
agreements. This proposal Senate Joint Resolution
No. /, more familarly known as the Bricker amend
ment, contains five sections:
Section !. A provision of treaty which conflicts
with this Constitution shall not be of any force or
effect.
Section 2. treaty shall become effective as in
ternal law in the United States only through legisa-
ton which would be valid in the absence of treaty.
Section 3. Congress shall have power to regulate
all executive and other agreements with any foreign
power or international organization All such agree
ments shall be subject to the limitations imposed on
treaties by this article.

By Mor McGroN

The proposed Bricker amendment
to the Constitution which touched
on this weeks tense debate about
the conduct Of our foreign affairs is,
paradoxically enough, the project of
a man who has always prided him
self on strict application to domestic
matters. And just as paradoxically,
Senator John w. Bricker, Repub-
lican, of Ohio sees it as part of a
lifelong effort to keep Government
at the local level.
The administration cries out that
the amendment will hamstring the
Presidents treaty-making powers.
The Senator stubbornly insists 1t will
do no such thing.
I'm not dealing in international
affairs" he says impatiently to the
steady stream of callers filing
through his Office these days.
Millions of words have been
penned about the amendments eff
feet, particularly that of the cele-
brated which" clause. It is, on the
whole. a dry and legalistic question,
but 1t has evoked tremendous emo
tional response among superna-
tionalist groups, which are among
the 500 organizations pledged to its
support.
Reverse lsoIotionism
If the amendment could be con-
Strued as "isolationist," then it
would be a new brand of that
philosophy. For hitherto, isolation
ist activity has been directed at
keeping the United States out of
tDorld affairs. The Bricker amend
ment, on the other hand, might be
interpreted as warning to the
Dorld to keep out of United States
affairs.
Senator Bricker himself gives
some support to this theory when
he says: 1.-THE ink on the u. N.
Charter was hardly dry before they
began messing in domestic affairs"
While the amendment has been
interpreted in some quarters as q
preventative for future Yaltas and
Potsdams. Senator Bricker sees 1t as
protecting State laws against the
onslaught Of international agree
ments like the human rights cove
nant and the genocide pact.
Senator Bricker. a lawyer, became
interested In the whole question OF

5. Conviction that labor organiza-
tions can do no wrong.
g. The belief that administrative
action should not be hampered by
judicial review.
In 1916, after his three terms as
Governor and the unsuccessful vice
presidential race. the Senator came
to Washington and was somewhat
jolted. friends say. to find himself
one of half a dozen former Gov
errors in the upper chamber. He
went back to the more congenial and
morale-building climate of Column
bus as often as he could. He got of
to a rather bad start with an off
the-record" speech at a Gridiron
Club dinner. where politicians ira
ditionally set aside partisan differ
ences and josh each other a bit.
Mr.. Bricker astounded the gathering
with a rip-snorting Republican
speech. in which he tainted Presi-
dent Truman about the G. o. P. ma
jority in the Congress.
Until the Bricker amendment
placed him in the national spot
light, the Senator was concerned
with several rather fruitless enter
prises during his senatorial career.
One was a proposal in 1949 that
Southern Democrats and Republic
cans form a new political party, a
suggestion that was branded as de
featist" by several G. o. p. spokes-
men. He also proposed that judges
who freed Communists on bail
should be investigated. This came
to naught.
No Apologies
This year, the Senator became
chairman of the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee. The fact
that he is still a member of his old
law firm, which represents the Penn
sylvania Railroads, whose activities
fall within jurisdiction of the COM
mittee, has caused some raised eye
brows around Washington.
The Senator, however, makes no
apologies for this circumstance. The
fact that the railroad is q client
Of his firm makes no difference in
his attitude, which has always been
sympathetic. He stands pat on that.
And so he stands on his amend
ment.
II will not be dissuaded." he says
firmly.

mlgnt exist, no matter how remotely,
you can scare the people into taking
that power away from the official.
Supporters of the Bricker amend
ment are telling the public today
that the treaty-making power Of the
Federal Government could be abused,
that through the treaty route civil
rights could be suspended, States
rights could be abrogated, the Con-
stitution could be undermined and
socialism could be forced onto
America.

cry-hayoc technique to score some
political points for his party in 50

He said, Treaty law can override

But that set of circumstances is
not likely to arise.
Even Mr.. Dulles, when handed
the responsibilities of being Secre-

take q calmer view. His present

put laws on the books that run
