Senators Refuse to Reveal Their Stand

1t seems worthy of note
when the sovereign and mighty
Senate of the United States,
which takes itself right seri-
ously, runs to cover behind
its prerogatives and refuses to
record itself publicly on con-
troversial issues before it.
That is a courtesy which
members of this club reserve
for themselves, a sort of mu-
tual protective device against
the prying eyes of curious con-
stituents. We saw it extended
this week on an important
issue that came up during con-
sideration of the Gore high
way bill. which the Senate
passed. The bill soon will come

the administration bill that

curing payment of prevailing
wages for workmen on inter-
state highways and overtime
pay beyond eight hours per
workday or 40 hours in any

done by applying the Bacon

done already in cases of other

works.

Ddvy Crockett and Communism

knowledge Of where he wants
to 60. the American knows he
can go there. In the certain
ty of his need, he can go any,
where and do anything. even
to moving mountains. That
is the essence of the American
tradition, and it is not senti-
mental to say that it is q part
of the fibre of every American
true to his heritage and I'M
infected by the virus of alien
PHILOSOPHERS.
Every great crisis in Ameri-
can history has been overcome
through the wholehearted de-
votion of Americans to a cause
and a goal. In the Revolution
it was national independence
on a plane Of high political
principle. In the great Civil
War it was union with free
dom for the North and indie
pendence and self-determina-
ton for the South-Americans
all. There was a cause in all
our great advances, in the
drive of the pioneers, in the
conquest of depression, in the
defeat of the Axis in World
War II.
But since World War II the
cause has been obscure, often
unacceptable. Where a true
cause has begun to be appar-
ent to all, as in the desperate
fighting in Korea, official &C
ton has caused it to sag and
disappear. We must not offend
our allies, the wise men say.
We must not glorify our ma
tional traditions and take
pride in ourselves as Ameri-
cans, because this smacks of
colonialism and nationalism
and worse. And above all, we
must not take down great
grandfather'S flintlock, even
to brandish it in warning, be-
cause that is jingoism and
militariSm.
Why do grown Americans
respond to the appeal of Davy
Crockett? Surely it is because
he reminds us of the things we
had to make us great, and the
things we need to hold and
cherish if we are to keep our
place in the affairs of men
and hold off the savages who
threaten the survival of civil
iZation.
There is some of Davy
Crockett in all of us.

The very obvious appeal Of

that the Crockett story has a
special ingredient, a particular
character, that excites the i'm

That special ingredient may
well be the presence through
out the Crockett story of
