Senator Byrd's Veto Plan

Senator Byrd has proposed to the
Senate an interesting new approach toward
an old objective. The objective is to confer
upon the President authority to veto spe-
cifc items in appropriation measures.
Under the Constitution, President has
power to veto a whole bill, but not its sep
arate parts. This could be changed by
constitutional amendment, but an uncon-
ditional grant of item veto powers has been
opposed in the past on grounds that there
might be abuse of such presidential author
ity. Senator Byrd'S current proposal is that
the Constitution be amended to allow Con-
gress to confer this authority-for appro-
priation vetoeS only-on the President by
statute, or to withhold it If such is the will
of the legislative branch in any particular
case. The proposed change would not affect
the basic veto power, or the right of Con-
gresS to override either whole veto or an
item veto by the usual two-thirds vote.
Supporters of the item veto have argued
over the years that it would tend to reduce
appropriations by discouraging pork
barrel" funds and the "log-rolling" practice
by which members trade votes on regional
funds. More than three-fourths of the
sHte Governors have item veto, powers, in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-04

some cases extending to nonappropriation
bills. In several other cases, Governors are
allowed to reduce appropriation figures
without vetoing items. Senator Byrd de-
scribes the State records as impressive in
terms of savings in noneSsential appro-
priations."
The Virginia Senator's interest is, of
course, his long-standing one of enabling
the Federal Government to live on bal
anced budget. 1t was this same philosophy
that prompted him as chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee to join with
Democratic Senator George and with Re
publican committee members in voting
down the House passed Democratic plan for
the $20-per-individual income tax reduc-
ton. Senator Byrd's consistent record on
the side of fiscal responsibility in Govern
ment warrants careful consideration of his
new veto proposal.

well, another week has rolled
around" the lady said, with resigna-
ton.
She shouldn't have said it.
No one should say such things be-
cause time is a mystery, one of the
greatest, along with space and force,
beyond our ken.
Probably the less we think Of time,
the better. Certainly in ordinary,
everyday life, speaking of the passage
of time does little to help.
Time, the elusive, eludes us all, in
the end.
Time slows down, speeds up, it seems,
but actually we make these impressions
on ourselves.
Nothing is either good or bad. but
thinking makes it So" and this applies
particularly to time.
The child can hardly wait for the
Fourth of July to come, so todays
youth solves the snail-like pace of time
by firing off fireworks the night before.
People who are i'll feel that time
stands still.
The person who cannot sleep gets
double dose OF time in slow motion.
He feels that morning will never come
In all such cases, it is best to forget
about time.
Since time is something we know
nothing Of. and only exist in it like
fish in the sea. we do wen to overlook
it. II we can; forget 1t. when We may.
and ignore 1t when we have TO.

Fascinated Juror

Recently completed a period of jury
duty at United States District Court.
In no way am I exaggerating when I
say this was one of the most enr;ching
experiences of my whole life. This was
an opportunity I had long wished for,
and discovered. in no uncertain terms,
that the axiom anticipation is greater
than realization" was disproved.
1t was my experience that jury serv-
ice was even more fascinating and
more intriguing than expected. Each
phase of the assignment brought some
new interest: The congeniality of fell
low jurors in the spacious lounge. the
expectancy attending case assignments,
the thrill of actually being assigned,
the interesting unfolding of the case
being tried, the enlightening instruc-
ton on the law by the judge. the jurors
elaboration and finally the verdict.
All this was climaxed by the satisfac-
ton that an important civic duty had
been performed in which had a small
part. There was the heartwarming
feeling, too, in knowing that under the
great judicial system of our beloved
country once more there had been
meted equal justice under law" I
was deeply impressed by the dignity
of the courtroom and its procedures.
the courteous and friendly attitude of
the court personnel, and enjoyed the
comfortable accommodations for all in
our spacious new courthouse. I'm glad
served on the jury!

Victims of the Motusows

The case of Harvey Matusow is i'm
portant, not because of the former
informers retraction Of previous testi-
mony. but because there is every reason
to believe that the United States has
acted in an irresponsible manner
toward thousands of former Gov
eminent employees who lost their po-
sitions by the false testimony and
character smears of unknown inform
ers out to earn a few soiled pieces Of
silver.
Government departments and Off
Gals are not sacrosanct powers and
individuals immune from criticism or
error. 1t is more important to protect
our Constitution and the liberties Of
our people than it is to fire so-called
'progressives" from Government jobs.

art historian, was appointed to full

Trade Possibilities
Government Worker.

In a review of the Clarence Randall
and Samuel Lubell concepts of foreign
trade and tariffs, your reporter. Rich
ard Fryklund. quotes Mr.. Lubell as
saying the elimination of all tariff
barriers by the United States would
increase our trade by only $2.6 billion.
This is a pretty pessimistic figure Mr..
Lubell is putting out. With the whole
world crying for American goods. it
would be rash person indeed who
would make any predictions as to how
much our exports could rise to. Mr..
Lubell's figures, however. are too low.
According to the Tariff Commission,
the total exports of the United States
in 1909 were over So billion; in 1918
they were $48480, 100000. Even with
allowances for fevered war prepara-
tions, once these figures are analysed
it readily can be seen that exports are
of tremendous Importance to us.
1t is interesting to note how often in
discussions of trade and tariffs the
shipping industry is ignored. Stimu-
lated world commerce would probably
raise the value of the United States
Merchant Marine by hundreds of mil
lions through increased shipbuilding
and cargoes handled. I think Mr..
Randall has the right idea.

Clash of Interests

In his letter to The Star today Mr..
HodgkinS seems preoccupied, as so many
Of the advocates of home rule are, with the
legislative burden imposed on Congress in
It's handling of local affairs. Much Of this
burden" is trivia. 1t could be delegated, If
Congress chose to do 1t, to the Commits
sionerS as we'll as to locally elected city
government. Congress has shown little dis
position to do so.
{ The clash between local and Federal
interests in this National Capital would be
Intensified rather than removed, however,
by delegating important legislative power
TO city government. Take, as an example,
the fundamental power of local taxation.
Maryland and Virginia tax the salaries
earned by Washingtonians in those States.
Would any local government get anywhere
in attempting to tax salaries of Marylanders
or Virginians or Mississippians earned in
the District of Columbia? Let a local gov
eminent try to enact local income taxes
comparable with those prevailing in such
cities as New York and Philadelphia! That
is merely one of many fields in which Con-
gress would continue to assert it's preroga
tives and model the law, as it has done in
the past, to its own purposes regardless Of
the interests of the local community.
The notion that the interests of this Fed
eral City would be served by a locally
elected city government coming into one
head-on collision after another with the
Federal Government has been pretty well
tested by experience and found wanting.
1t is hard to understand why anybody
familiar with the history of Washington,
wants to try it again.

Merit System Milestone

Secretary of Labor James Mitchell has
announced an appointment that we'll may
be milestone in merit-System progress.
In designating Willard CaSS, a career civil
servant, as Deputy UnderSecretary of Labor,
Mr.. Mitchell became the first cabinet officer
to take definite action toward creation of
what the Hoover Commission described as
Senior Civil Service" Both Hoover Com
missions now are on record as proposing a
top-level permanent civil service staff, quail
flied to carry on major departmental re-
sponsibilities from one administration to
another.
In effect, Secretary Mitchell is putting
into practice plan recommended by per-
sonnet advisory board to the first Hoover
group. Mr.. Mitchell was an active member
Of that board. The earlier recommendation
was for the appointment in each depart
ment of career executives who would be
unaffected by changes in administration and
who had the ability to direct departmental
operations during changes in command.
The new Hoover Commissions suggestion is
along the same line, although these key
career administrators would compose spe-
cial senior classification of civil servants
"of exceptional skill and experience for
continuing service in all departments and
agencies" They would be eligible for pay
comparable to that of Undersecretaries
Mr.. CaSS, career employe in the Gov
eminent since 1941, will have charge of
reviewing and assisting in co-ordinating
plans for administrative Improvements in
the Department of Labor. 1t Is task that
calls for an objective approach by compe-
tent executive, without regard to political
implications or pressures. In making. this
appointment, Mr.. Mitchell has set an excel
lent example for his fellow cabinet members.

Middle East Alliance

The network of defensive alliances
among the free nations has taken on bit
more muscle with the signing Of the Turk
ish-Iraqui pact.
An oil-wealthy Arab state, Iraq has
small but reasonably modern military es-
tablishment that is generally rated above
average in the Middle East. The country's
location is highly strategic one, stretching
from northern frontier with Turkey to
a southern coastline on the Persian Gulf.
It's eastern frontier is shared with Iran and
it has other borders with Syria, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia. 1t is, in other words, almost
squarely in the center of the Middle East
and directly across any invasion path
pointed at the Persian Gulf or at Egypt.
Politically, the Iraqi government OF Premier
Nuri Said has had long and close ties with
Britain, and long and clear record OF
active opposition to communism. In arriv-
ing at a military agreement with Turkey,
it becomes the first Arab or Middle East
nation to enter into direct alliance with
NATO member. And while there has been
sharp criticism from other Arab states, led
by Egypt, there have been reports stimuli
taneouSly that either Jordan or Syria might
before too long work out similar agreements
with Turkey and Iraq.
To Turkey, of course must go the great
est credit for the gradual evolution of the
treaty network that stretches now between
Europe and Pakistan. Since becoming
member of NATO, the Ankara government
has reached separate military agreements
with its Balkan neighborS. Greece and Yugo-
slavia; with Pakistan, with Italy and now
with Iraq. A possibility is that Iran, which
has lengthy frontier with Soviet Russia
and frequently has been subjected to pres
sures from the north, may be one of the
next to enter into defense alliance with
Turkey, perhaps to make up Turkish
Iraqi- Pakistani- Iranian bloc. Such COM
bination would present barrier Of signifi-
cant strength to Russia's historic aspira-
lions to extend its rule to the Persian Gulf
and the Mediterranean Sea. /
