What of the Future?

FOLLOWING the passage Of bills to pro-
tect Virginia public schools the ques-
ton presents itself: What of the future?
No one has the answer to this. Much
depends upon the members of tho Ited
States Congress- There is where a decision
will be made on the constitutional prin-
ciple raised by Virginia and six other states
as to the right of the Supreme Court to
amend the Constitution by judicial fiat.
The Manifesto, signed by l01 members of
Congress. sets forth this question in no
unmistakeable language. The action of Vir-
ginia and her sister states gives Congress-
men of like mind the opportunity to join
the issue. Congress alone has the power to
curb the Court in its usurpation The is
sue should be joined in the coming Con-
rress. Determination of this contest Of
power is the first step toward any lasting
solution of the school indignation problem.
Virginia is fortunate in having in its
congressional delegation a number of men
who understand the fundamental issues
and have the ability and fortitude to join
the issue. Every member of Congress from
Virginia signed the Southern Manifesto,
regardless of political party. Though it
would be difficult to select one Virginia
Congressman over another in his support
of constitutional government. we believe it
can be fairly said that Fifth District Con-
gresham William NJ. Tuck and Fourth
District Congressman Watkins NJ. Abbitt,
were possibly the first to realize the Courts
fault in rendering a decision beyond its
inherent power which in effect illegally
amended the Constitution. Certainly they
were among the first to speak out and have
been equally as vocal and militant in
bringing the matter to the attention of the
public. Each has worked diligently with
his fellow legislators in Congress and in

Colder Winters?

THE ARRIVAL OF COOLER DAYS
earlier this season than usual. indicates
that weather experts who predicted the
United States would experience colder
weather in the coming decade might have
something
In the last decade, most of the weather
experts have agreed that the weather in
the United States was getting steadily
warmer. They cite as proof of this the fact
that many plants, and trees continue to
move north in their survival capacities. and
also the fact that the icecap at the North
Pole is steadily retreating
In recent months, however some wealth
er experts have said there are definite indi-
cation that the country is in for a return
to colder winters. The late arrival of sum-
year and the early arrival of fall in MANY
others gives them tentative support for this
theory. AS result homeowners in the
United States will turn their attention in
creaslngly to newer and less expensive
system of heating

lnulcate Britain would ike the
delegates to the current 15-nation
conference to consider basic
changes in NATO'S strategy. A
private meeting between United
States and British delegates was
arranged to provide the Amer
leans with a full dress rehearsal
of British arguments and, if pos
sible, to interest America in
actively promoting the scheme.
Earlier this year there were
reports the British government
thought NATO was spending too
much on the wrong things,
Britain has been in no position
to buy luxuries since World War
II. so a new look at NATO was
urged in many British circles.
Suez Cost Understood
Now the heavy cost of the Suez
expedition is beginning to be
understood and the British gov
ernment is convinced that a
cutback in NATO spending is
necessary right now.
The British delegation, led by
Foreign Minister Lloyd, Defense
Minister Head and Chancellor OF
the Exchequer Mcmillan wants to
win American Secretaries Dulles
Wilson and Humphrey to this
point of view. Then they will
tackle the other 13 delegations.
NATO members are committed
to seek the permission of the
entire group before changing
their expenditures. Britain will
find it rough going on any
formal suggestion of a radical
change in NATO or on any re-
quest for special relief for Britain
The United States and most con-
ltinental powers believe NATO is
too weak already.

be this:

stopped on the ground only by a
