to come. Some people think that
an electric line to extend from

the peninsula the biggest boom
possible. To this and surveyors
have been laying out a line of
such proportions and something
in this way may soon be put into
operation. What a boom it would
be.
A fine display of talent comes
with the local club this year. The
fever sprung up anew when the
Bay League was formed and the
enthusiasm has been on the
spread ever since. Getting ahold
of good pitching talent was a fine
streak of luck and good luck has
been with the club ever since.
With such pitching talent as
Wayne Young, Jim Hughes, Ver-
non Foraker and Barney Rey-
nolds, the club has an elegant
chance 20 become the leader in
state baseball. So far these men
have done we'll and thus kept the
locals on top as the leader of the
league. Also, it can be said that
the other players on the team
are equally as alert and as skill
full. All through the season excel
lent baseball has been played and
enjoyed by the public. We hope
that the season will end with the
club having a record that no
other club in the state can equal.
The morning service at Imman-
uel Church drew out a large at
tendance and the sermon, by the
Rev. Frank R. Buckley was time
ly and very interesting. He choose
for his text as found in st. John
18th chapter, beginning at the
third verse, Opening and alleg-
ing that Christ must have suffer-
ed and risen again from the dead,
and that this Jesus, whom l
preach unto you, is Christ. And
some of them believed and con-
sorted with Paul and Silas, and
of the devout Greeks great
multitude and of the chief Wo-
men not a few" Another fine
feature of the service was the
duet entitled 'Now I Belong to
Jesus" as given by Mr.. and Mrs.
James Doughton of Blackbird'
The choir also gave some fine Sc
lections. The day was bright and
gave opportunity for all wishing
to hear the Gospel to do SO.

Democrats Sharpen Criticism
Eisenhower Now Faces Same Kind of Critical Analysis
To Which G. O. P Subjected Roosevelt and Truman

Democrats will no longer re-
spect the privileged sanctuary
from which President Eisen-
hover has operated in almost
complete immunity from po-
litical criticism.
From now on he will be
held strictly to account for his
=, party and policy. His leader
ship will be subjected consist
emily to the kind of critical
analysis which was a common
place OF life under Roosevelt
and Truman.
This decision emerged clearly
at New Orleans where the ma
tional committee has just
elected Paul Butler its new
chairman Sam Rayburn, pros
pective Speaker. said it for
Congress. Governor-elect Har-
riman of New York said it for
the Governors, and Adlai Ste
venson said it for himself. The
new Stevenson chairman, Paul
Butler, chimed in promptly.
There was no demur from
the second level of party lead
ership-members of the ma
tional committee and State
chairmen-who were present
in unusually large numbers.
With a self-confidence appar-
emily induced by their election
successes they applauded in
public and in private said it
had to be done.
Democrats don't hate Gen.
Eisenhower as many Repub-
hcans-and some Democrats
did Roosevelt. They don't
belittle him, which was the
treatment Mr.. Truman got

from the opposition. The pic
ture they want to create is Of
a man put to work for which
he is not suited, who won't
read newspapers and does not
keep a firm hand on the Gov
eminent or his party.
This strategy seems to sig
nal "go slow" to the Know
land wing of the G. o. P.
which has been trying to
force Gen. Eisenhower to re-
treat from his China policy.
But whether or not Republic
cans close ranks behind the
President, Democrats will pur-
sue 1t.
They say they believe their
story. They also argue that
as a practical matter they
have no choice if they wish to
win in 1856.
For they expect that the
strength they mean to dem
onstrate in the next two years
will force the Republicans, no
matter how divided. to draft
Gen. Eisenhower. Then their
candidate, probably Mr.. Ste
venson, must face him again,
and if he has not been identi-
fed, thoroughly and unmis-
takably, with Republican er-
rors, they have handicapped
their own man.
As they see it, they will sup
port Gen. Eisenhower in for
eign policy because he follows
the line they established.
They expect to approve more
liberal domestic legislation for
which they cannot help the
President getting a share of

were being ignored. Amend
ments were proposed by the
late Senator Taft of Ohio and
by Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana to require congressional
authorization for the use of
the armed forces of the United
States whenever the contin-
gency arose. But such propo-
sails were rejected by the SEN
ate. Likewise, Senator Wat
kins of Utah, by an amend
ment, endeavored to require the
President to go to Congress

ers under the North Atlantic
Treaty. This, too, failed.

ing a lengthy opinion attrib-
uted to "the executive depart
ments" in February. 1851, and

who was at that time chair
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, makes
the fiat statement that the
President is under no obliga-
ton to get authorization from
Congress before imposing a
blockade or using the armed
forces to carry out either U. N.
or NATO obligations.
Indeed. the document quotes
at length from a formal re-
port made by both the Senate
Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions and the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs which
discussed Article AZ of the

identical language said:

action by these forces upon
the order of the Security Coun-
Gil would not be an act of war
but would be international &C.
ton for the preservation of the
peace and for the purpose of
preventing war. Consequently
the provisions of the Charter
do not affect the exclusive
power of Congress to declare
war"
It was this reasoning which

the Department of State used
in defending Mr.. Humans
decision to join with other
United Nations forces In re-
pelling aggression in Korea
without asking authorization
before or afterward from Con-
gress.
So. when Gen. Eisenhower
says to the Nation that he
cannot impose q blockade
without going to Congress be-
cause 1t would be an "act Of
war" it means either that he
has never been familiarized
with the background of the
American ratification Of the
U. N. Charter and the inter-
probation placed on it by COM
nittees of Congress. or else he
means to reverse the Truman
policy and take up with Con-
gress beforehand any military
or naval action hereafter
required through the u. N.
Charter or through the North
Atlantic Treaty provisions.
In any event, the President
has. justified Senator Know
lands discussion of the sub
ject by publicly declaring it
to be a subject for congress
sional action. But at the same
time Gen. Eisenhower has
added some confusion to the
problem because. If he thinks
the Korean armistice is a
peace treaty, then it Is the
first time in history that an
armistice has been accepted
as a document that does what
only a peace treaty can do
namely. end a state of war.
For the very breaking of the
armistice by Red China is an
act of war against the United
Nations. 1T remains to be
seen whether the 16 ma
tons which fought in Korea
will be content to let the
matter rest with a resolution
of condemnation"
