Senate and the Continuing Body

the Senate is or is not a Con-
tinuing body" nowadays hinges
really on whether there's a
two-thirds vote available to
accomplish the objects sought.
Hence. the country now will be
treated to many q hypocritical
argument. Some of the same
Senators who argued in the
Mccarthy case that the Senate
is a continuing body" will be
heard now arguing the OPP
posite--that the Senate is,
after all, not a continuing
body and that a majority vote
is all that's needed to adopt
new rules.
1t is these inconsistencies on
the part of prominent Sena-
tors which give the impression
that the Senate is interested
only in expediency and political
combat, rather than in basic
principle.
Freedom of speech in the
Senate, for example, usually
championed by the so-called
liberals" was dealt a severe
blow by the resolution to "con-
denim" a Senator for expressing
his opinions.
AS for the Wisconsin Sena-
tors conduct in income tax
matters in a previous term, the
executive branch of the Gov
eminent which, after all,
should have control of these
matters unhampered by the
legislative branch, found
nothing wrong then and did
not find anything wrong later
when it disposed of the case. In
fact, the Government. as it
turned out, finally discovered
that it owed Senator Nc
earthly about $1,000 because
he had overpaid his tax.
But none Of the liberals"
ever apologized to the Wiscon-
sin Senator for the numerous
innuendoes they had spread
implying guilt. They had voted
81 to 20 to condemn him for
refusing to accept a Senate
committees right to pass judg-
ment on whether or not he had
violated any income tax laws.
When a great liberal" the
elder La Toilette, another SEN
ator from Wisconsin, once ''in-
suited" a Senate committee for
trying to question him on his
loyalty" the liberals" ap-
plauded. Consistency goes by
the boards in modern politics.

Kansas Gov. Hall Tells Party to Develop

A clear voice from the scene

the kind Of government they

It belongs to Gov. Fred Hall

Governor who vetoed the bill

that he could not be reelected
if he signed it.
The election returns showed
him to be a prophet. President

poses. The fact that the air
base would be handed over to
the Japanese government with
all its improvements made no
difference. The short and vir-
ulent campaign was successful.
The purchase had to be
abandoned.
These are among the few
examples Of the present trends
in this country. At the bottom
of the whole situation is the
fact that despite the gen.
erosity we have displayed
toward our one-time foe. there
continues to remain a deep
feeling Of resentment among
the masses against the
American conqueror. For
the first time in Japan's long
history the Japanese military
forces have been defeated and
alien soldiers have occupied
the country.
The change from a strict
conqueror into a friend, pro-
tector, savior and especially
purveyor of everything the Jap
aneSe needed to rebuild an
obsolete industry has not made
much of a dent. The officials
and business tycoons treat
Americans with the customary
oriental politeness. But be-
meath this veneer, in the view
of all those who have spent
some time here, there is a
faSt-growing feeling among
all Japanese that we have out
stayed our welcome, and it is
time to restore Japan to its
full sovereignty. This means
they would like to discuss a
readjustment of the Mutual
Security Pact. Such a revision
would not only mean the de-
parture from Japan of Amer
lean troops still stationed here
on the basis of the pact, but
the return Of Okinawa. There
have been several demonstra-
tons demanding the return Of
this island, now an important
defense outpost Of the United
States.

Japanese Reds Good y. S.

The Japanese are now at the
stage when they want to re-
main neutral and enjoy the
economic fruits of neutrality.
They figure that within the
next ten years the population
will have increased to about
100 million people compressed
in land not larger than
California. Since they have no
hope for any territorial expan-
sion in the foreseeable future,
they count on living from the
proceeds of foreign trade. par
ticularly with Com m u mist
China and Southeast Asia. It is
there that they can compete
successfully with America and
other Western countries.
Their main expectancy to
develop their industries lies
in trade with the Red Chinese.
The recent signature Of the
JapaneSe-R Russian treaty was
only a curtain raiser for a
similar action with Commu-
mist China as soon as the
opportunity arises. This, the
Japanese leaders say, should
not be regarded as going back
on the United States. They
point out that Great Britain,
Americas closest ally and
partner in international af-
fairs. has recognized Red
China without impairing in
any way her relationship with
the United States. Why should
Japan not do the same. eS-
pecially when it could do it
more successfully?
Japan is in sharp contrast
to other nations in the Far
East in its feeling toward the
Communists. The country has
never felt their harshness,
and lacking the experiences OF
other victims in Europe and
Asia they are drifting towards
economic and political CO.
existence. with a speed which
makes American observers and
the representatives Of Japan's
non Communist neighbors
uneasy.

now are contending that the
Senate is not a continuing

cides that it is not a con-

only a majority vote to change
the rules. Otherwise 1t re-
quires a two-thirds vote, and
the proponents Of the idea Of
changing the rules know they
can't muster two-thirds Of the
Senate.
It will be recalled that in
September. 1854, it was pro-
posed to 'censure" the Wis

a Senate committee examining
his income tax returns. Later
the resolution was changed

Senate committee report in
September, 1854, said:
THE fact that the Senate

require little discussion. This
has been uniformly recognized
by history, precedent and

Certainly the Senate has
every right to adopt a new
set Of rules at the opening Of

suspended Jail terms in Alex

Gilbert. Cronk, "a, a construc-

condition of good behavior for
two years. after pleading guilty
to charges Of assault and bat

His wife, Hazel Cronk, "a, the
child's stepmother, was given a

on condition Of good behavior
for one year, when she pleaded
guilty to neglect.
Now in Foster Home
Judge Irene Pancoast said the
little girl. Nancy. would remain
in the custody of the Alexandria
Welfare Department at the pres
ent time. The child has been in
a foster home since Alexandria
police rescued her from the closet
in the Cronk apartment in the
500 block of Prince street.
Nancy was alone in the house
when police, investigating a
Ineighbor's complaint that child
had been heard whimpering for

hands we're bound at the wrists
by a heavy belt which was Sc
cured to a hook above the child's
head.
Il have never seen a child in
worse condition" Judge PAN

hearing today. Judge Pancoast
said she had seen Nancy shortly
after police freed her.
Charge Was Reduced
Nancy had told police at the
time of her rescue that she had
been tied up in the closet off and
on for a week prior to her release
by police.
Cronk had originally been
charged with felonious assault
on the little girl, his daughter by
Ia previous marriage. Assistant
Commonwealth Attorney Leslie
Halls recommendation that the
charge be reduced to assault and
battery was accepted by Judge
PancoaSt.
Judge Pancoast told Cronk
that he would be required by a
court order to contribute to the
support of Nancy while she is in
the custody of the Welfare De-
lpsrtment. The amount of sup
port to be required was not
stipulated.
