There was nothing mysterious

Ia mystery only as long as it

What seems to have happened
Ito her was the ebb and flow Of
life in q suburban community.

Ia great many who were on the

But there are Rockville resi-

these is Mrs. David Betz. who
was quick to supply information
about the lass who left her mark
on Rockville's cultural life.
Her name was Pamela Barr

Our illegal 18th Amendment

ity Of the procedure used in
1867 and 1868. To this day.
the highest court in the land
has never ruled on the legiti-
macy Of the Fourteenth
Amendment itself.
Since the Supreme Court in
1854 overturned a precedent
established So years before
with respect to equal but
separate" schools. there are
many lawyers today who say
the Supreme Court now should
re-examine the method by
which the Fourteenth Amend
ment was illegally interjected
into the Constitution. In fact,
a case has Just been brought
in q Federal court in Tennes-
see that raises this very issue.
AS recently as 1851, the
Supreme Court expressed its
disapproval of what it termed
the conquered province" the
DRY that prevailed IN Congress
after the war and warned that
the Fourteenth Amendment
was not to be used to cen
tralize power so as to upset
the Federal system"
Yet the civil rights meas
ure which the House has just
passed does mean Federal in
reference in the operations
of State institutions and agen-
cies and the harassment of
citizens generally by a Federal
commission-even though such
citizens are not connected
with State governments in any
way.
This is perhaps the most
far-reaching invasion of the
rights of the States that has
been proposed since the ILL
fated time when Congress
coerced the Southern States
by means Of puppet legisla-
lures into "ratifying" an
amendment that the people
didn't want-the antithesis of
government by the consent of
the governed"
Few voices, unfortunately,
are being raised in the North
against this defiance of basic
principles Of constitutionaliSm.
Whether or not one believes
in the principle of integra-
ton in the public schools
wherever the States desire it
AS this writer doeS-the fact
remains that the orders to
obey indignation" and the
support in Congress for various
civil rights" measures are
based on an alleged amend
ment to the Constitution that
never was legally ratified.

though important financially.
It's argument is that Repub-

The ability of India to repay
the loans and grants provided

The State Department could
have been outspoken by stating
that Egypt's present policies
as Russia's pacemaker in the
Middle East and in Africa have
caused us to turn down its re-
quest for a loan for the Aswan

strong and frank policy which

dam because Egypt had mort

to the USSR and her satellites
to purchase arms.
1t happens that our eco
nomic aid is not always pred
icated on the "solvency" of
a recipient. If it were, very
few nations would receive it.
We did not look into Britain's
ability to repay when in 1916
we advanced the Labor gov
eminent money for the great
~socialistic experiment. We did
not look into the solvency of
Greece and Turkey in 1947
when We rushed not only mill
tary but also economic assist
ance to help them stay out of
the Red clutches. And we GER
tainly did not bother about
Poland's ability to repay when
we loaned that Red satellite in
1916 some $50 million to i'm
prove the exploitation of it's
coal mines. At that time, more
than today. coal was an i'm
portant strategic material and
we knew that the USSR had
obtained complete control over
them.
There are grave doubts, even
today, about the solvency -
both political and economic
OF YugoSlavia. Yet we wit
messed this week a spectacular
show in the Senate when a
stable number of legislators
got up and fought with all the
energy at their command the
Knowland-B Bridges resolution
to cut of military aid to
President Tito.
President NasSer is only
playing footsie with the Krem-
lin, and according to some
diplomatic observers there was
a time when he and his peo-
pie. who are only fanatical
nationalists, could have been
detached.
President Tito is actually a
ull-f1edged Communist from
way back, before the last war.

THOMAS L. STOKES
The Democrats Aren't Hurtino

John N. Garner: but so great
was the uproar of protest
from the convention that
Henry Wallace Just decided
not to try to deliver the speech
he had in his pocket.
1t was Henry Wallace, you
remember, who himself was
displaced four years later by

cesSful protests by big city
bosses to President Roosevelt
a few weeks before the conven-
ton that Wallace would lose
votes for the party in their
cities and would weaken the
ticket.
Democrats. and President
Roosevelt in particular, had
FAR less conjunction about
shutting vice presidential can
didates in and out than do
Republicans and President Eli.
senhower. President Roose-
welt had three different Vice
Presidents.
But they never made so
much fuss and other about IL
as there is now among Repub-
leans over Vice President
Nixon.
So far as Democrats are
concerned, the fuss among Re-
publicans can get noisier and
continue indefinitely. Nor do
they care especially what mo-
tivated Harold Stassen, though
they listen with interest to all
the speculation, in fact are
ready to contribute their own
ideas.
The range is from guesses
by his enemies that Harold
StasSen tried to throw in an
other candidate for Vice Presi-
dent to muddy up the waters
so that he himself might COP
that place, to the theory that
he was trying to introduce
Herter to the Nation and
arouse interest in him SO that
the party would have a can
didate available for the presi-
Dental nomination in case the
President at the last minute
found it unwise for him to
undertake the burden. And in
between there are all sorts Of
other theories in the debate
about Stassen's adventure.
