Policing the Funds

The American Federation of Labor has
taken commendable, although somewhat
belated, step in demanding that its men,
Der unions eliminate abuses in administra-
ton of their welfare funds and in pledging
its support to objective inquiries into the
problem of policing these funds. Recent
findings by State and Congressional investi-
gators in New York and in California have
revealed shameful waste and dishonesty
in the management of some of them.
The fact that most of the AFL unions
are autonomous leaves the Federation with
out direct enforcement power in their cases
but threat of expulsion could be lodged
against any offender. The Federation con-
stitution was amended by the AFL during
its Los Angeles convention to provide for
an annual audit of the welfare fund ac-
counts of the so-called Federal locals, nom
autonomous unions chartered directly by
the AFL.
The tremendous resources in the hands
of the union funds, estimated as high as
SIT billion, make them force of great
potential impact in the national economy.
There is public interest, therefore, in
volved in any effort to protect their integ-
rity.

Good Luck, Chuck

The signing of Chuck Dresser to replace
Bucky Harris as manager of the Washing
ton baseball team presumably is only the
first of some important trades" at Griffith
Stadium. The bouncy Dresser, a Snowman
on and off the field. is sure to shuttle the
clubs roster this winter and no doubt he'll
be looking for few players cut more in his
own colorful mold. The Senators have
been accused often of being listless club
on the field and the fans surely would well
come some new fire.
At the same time, Dressen's record in
the game shows clearly enough that he is a
shrewd and solid baseball man. The two
years for which he has now signed will give
him a certain amount of flexibility in his
efforts to rebuild the team. The Senators
are at a disadvantage without real farm
system but good ball clubs have been made
before through smart (and lucky trading.
In any case, Washington fans have been
mixing patience with their loyalty for a
long time and they will give the new man
ager good chance to prove he has the
touch.

It is a non-political document It does not
lend itself to political exploitation by either
side, in so far as the Congressional elections
in November are concerned.
At the outset of the Mccarthy censure
investigation, Chairman Watkins made
statement of principles which he said would
guide the investigating committee "We
approach this matter" he said, cas- duty
imposed upon us and which we feel that we
should do our very best to discharge in a
proper manner. We realize the United
States Senate, in sense, is on trial, and
we hope our conduct will be such as to
maintain the American sense of fair play
and the high traditions and dignity of the
United States Senate under the authority
given it by the Constitution"
In The Stars opinion, Senator Watkins
and his colleagues have succeeded admir-
ably in what they set out to do. They have
created new confidence in the integrity of
Senate procedure by their own refusal to
temporize with evil.

Only 100 copies were printed at first.
That edition was the archetype of
publications of the Constitution by the
Congress of the United States and in
the laws until 1873. The numerous re-
prints by the Houses of Congress in
what became established as the House
and Senate Manuals were very accurate.
It was not so with the editions of the
laws beginning in 1896, 1915 and 1845.

"engrossed copy" therefore became the
accepted archetype when comparison
with contemporary original became
desirable.
The reason for that change was that

is the closeness of the eyes to the brain.

0THE UNITED STATES in Con-
= gress assembled" 167 years ago
on Friday, September %, 1887, resolved
to send "the Report Of the Convention
lately assembled in Philadelphia" to
State legislatures for ratification. The
resulting approvals made the Consti-
tuition Of the United States the supreme
law of the land.
Charles Thomson, secretary of the
Continental Congress, in carrying out
that resolution had printed and SUBJ
mitted to the States a 4-page folio
containing the four documents relevant
to the expected ratification These
were the Constitution tuntitled), the
resolution of the Federal Convention
and it's letter Of transmittal to the
Continental Congress. all dated Sep
tember II, 1877, and the resolution of
Congress of September %.
That paper has Just been reproduced
for the first time in Senate document
introduced by Senator Leverett Salton-
stall of Massachusetts,, with historical
notes on the printed texts Of the Con-
stitution by the author of this article.
Through most of our history. 1t ap-
pears that there has been uncertainty
concerning the true archetype of the
Constitution - the text which as its
"slip law" would answer any questions
as to the original.
The Federal Convention, which dfew
up the text, was creation of the Con-
tinental Congress which by resolution
of February 81, 1887, resolved that the
convention be held for revising the
Articles of Confederation "and report
ing to Congress and the several legis-
latures such alterations and pro-
visions" In it's later days the conven-
ton set up a Committee on Style and
Arrangement which determined the
final phraSeology of the great docu-
ment. William Samuel johnson was
chairman and Gouverneur Morris the
stylist of the committee, which COM
pleted its work on September Is. The
convention on that day voted to have
the text "engrossed" and 500 copies
printed. The committee controlled both
forms.
The "engroSsed copy" is now en-
shrined in the National Archives, a
precious piece of parchment, for it
bears the original signatures of the
makers of the Constitution. 1t was
executed by Jacob Shallus, a clerk of
the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
After it was signed. it was formally de-
livered to the Continental Congress for
its consideration. under a letter Of
transmittal by George Washington,
president Of the convention. The Con-
gress filed this report" and based its
deliberations on the printed copies. In
1878 when the second edition of Re-
vised Statutes was issued it was the
only known archetype of the Consti-
tuition and has since been followed in
official prints of the Constitution.
The 500 copies printed by Dunlap
and Claypoole simultaneously and un-
, der the same authority were the work.

gress in perfecting its unanimous reso-
lutions of September g. When that
decision was made. it fell to Charles

gress. to communicate it to the States.

North Carolina of the 13 original States
has the copy sent to it for ratification,
and it has been identified only since
1852. Only four other copies in libraries
in Boston, Providence and New York
are known to exist. All six are signed by
Charles Thomson.
Fortunately. the accuracy of the Fed
eral Conventions Committee On Style

difficulties in reading the Constitution.

Political Suicide in New Jersey

When Vice President Nixon advised his
fellow Republicans a fortnight ago that
they should run scared" he was understat-
ing by considerable margin the way they
already were running in New Jersey. For
the intraparty dispute that has developed
there over the senatorial candidacy of for
mer Representative Clifford Case has begun
to look more like disorderly panic than an
intelligent campaign to hold what is cur
rently Republican seat in the Senate. And
with the Senate already so evenly divided,
this inYitation to defeat conceivably could
mean the difference between Republican
or Democratic control of the upper branch
in the 84th Congress.
Mr. Case served five consecutive terms
in the House, where he gained the reputa-
ton of being liberal Republican. He was
one of the early supporters of General Eli
senhower for the party's presidential NOM
ination. In 1853 he resigned from Congress
to join the Ford Foundation and in the Off
year voting last fall Democrat was elected
from Mr.. Cases old district. Disclosures of
gambling and racketeering operations under
a Republican State administration hurt the
party badly last year and Democrat, Rob-
ert Meyner, won the governorship. The

ceded by considerable maneuvering within
the party but it was hardly expected that
the differences would develop to the point
they have now reached. Senator Hendrick-
son was persuaded on the ground he was
not strong canpaigner, to withdraw. For
mer State Treasurer Margetts likewise
bowed out and Mr.. Case was unopposed in
the primary. The appearance of party har-
mony ended soon after, however, and an
open campaign against Mr.. Case by factions
represented as followers of the late Senator
Taft and of Senator Mccarthy has become
increasingly intense during the past month.
President Eisenhower and Republican
National Chairman Hall already have come
to Mr.. Cases support. Senator DirkSen of
Illinois, close friend of the late Senator
Taft and often a mediator in party dis
putes, has announced he will speak for Mr.
Z Case in New Jersey next month. Still, it is
the New Jersey voters who will do the i'm
portant speaking" on November 2 and the
open efforts of dissident Republicans to de-
feat the candidate of their own party are
very likely to succeed. It will be sad COM
mentary indeed on the political astuteness
and responsibility of the G. o. P. if control
of the Senate is squandered by bitter-end
personal row in New Jersey.
