BY DAN POOLE
Star stan Writer

Huge propellers of the big
white ship began churning in
the waters of the Adriatic Sea.
At $3.50 am. the vessel pulled
slowly away from the crowded
harbor.
Ahead of us lay the calm blue
sea. dotted with a thousand
gray islands along Yugoslavia's
Dalmatian coast.
Behind, in the white-foamed
wake of our ship, lay the some
what remote medieval fortress
town of Dubrovnik with its an
cient buildings of yellow stone
ghstening in the bright sun
light.
We stood at the rail and
remembered the spotlesSly clean
cobblestone streets lined with
shops inside the perfectly
preserved fortress walls. The
stones had been worn smooth
by the feet Of many centuries.
We remembered walking
through the town as it hustled
with tourists, mostly German,
who were buying handmade sill
ver, and leather crafts. No auto
mobiles marred the feeling of
tinelessness inside the walls.
And we remembered strolling
through the deserted narrow
streets of Dubrovnik at mid
night after having watched
Arabian and Gypsy dancers
and listened TO American jazz
at one of the few nightclubs in
'Yugoslavia.
MOslem Town
The day we took a bus trip
through the mountains to
Mostar came wildly to mind.
Mostar, unlike the other cities
we visited, was Moslem town
which strongly reflected the
Turkish influence on Yugoslav-
ian traditions that preceded
that of the Austro-H Hungarian
Empire.
In Mostar. we had watched
aged MoslemS wash them
selves and remove their shoes
before entering the mosques.
And we had heard the noon
calls from the minarets as we
stood on the old stone bridge
that served as the focal point
of Maria Schell's movie, 1.-THE
Last Bridge"
At noon, our ship, the SIS.
Partizanka, locked at the is
land of Korcula. And shortly
afterward the loudspeaker an
nounced in Serbo-C roatian,
English, German and French
that it was time for lunch.
At 8 pm. we stopped at
Hvar, where big letters on the
top of a mountain spelled out
Tito, proclaiming the leader
who united the six republics
that make up present-day
Yugoslavia.
Shortly after 5 pm, we
were in Split, with its fourth
century palace Of the Roman
Emperor Diocletian. We visited
the palaces underground halls
that were just opened to the
public May 1: And we visited
the Christian church that had
been Diocletian's mausoleum.
The next day we boarded
the SIS. Proleterka for an
overnight cruise to Rijeka. AS
we dined, our ship glided by
the mountains of sheer rock
that are devoid of vegetation.
Those gray mountains are said
to be unlike any others in the
world.
Modern Ship
We were told that the SIS
Proleterka was Yugoslavia's
most modern passenger ship.
The 2,800-ton vessel carried
about $500 passengers. Its
cabins were compact, but the
food was an excellent example
OF the Austrian cooking found
throughout Dalmatia.
The cost of the boat tickets,
less than $40 a person, was in
dicative of the almost I'M
equalled responsiveness of a
Yugoslavian trip-far out of
proportion to the sights and
experiences offered.
After breakfast we were in
Rijeka, Yugoslavia's largest
port city, which is adjacent to
Opatija, the internationally

hire lawyers to acquire their right
to vote under the 18th amendment?
They did not. They brought pres

adoption and ratification of the 10Th

Supreme Court Exceeds Authority
So. then, it would appear that
the Supreme Court has exceeded its
authority in the Brown decision. 1t
not only exceeded its authority, it
tied its decision to the socialistic
views Of MYRDAL and to the l4th
amendment, about which grave
doubts exist as to whether Or not
it has ever become a part Of the
Constitution, for the reason that
Southern States were blackmailed
into ratification in order to get back
into the Union.
Would it not then follow, as the
night the day, that the only legal
way to deny to the States their in
herent right to legislate as they
see fit concerning school matters
would be to amend the Constitution
as was done when the 18th and 18TH
amendments were needed?
Have you considered the pnssi-
bility OF bringing suit in the Su-
preme Court itself. seeking a de-
claratOry Judgment as to whether
or not the 18th amdndment was
properly proposed, adopted, and
ratified according to the provisions
of Article V of the Constitution?
Read Article V and consider how

February 4, 1856 amended at the
1860 Session to read as follows.
That its decisions Of May II,
1854. and May 81, 1856, in the
school cases, the Supreme Court
of the United States placed

History ran a full circle in Arkan-
sas. The difference was that 18th

what was going on; goth century
Americans will not look.

is plainly declared by the instru-
ment ITSELF
Tenth Amendment
The next place where it would be
well to take good, long look is at
the tenth amendment to the COnsti-
tuition. Its language is crystal clear,
and reads as follows:
1.-The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States respec-
lively, or to the people,
Since the Constitution is silent as
to schools or education, it naturally
follows that the United States has
never been given jurisdiction over
this question. There are those who
claim that the tenth amendment is
outmoded and no longer has any eff
feet. But how could this be true?
Has it ever been repealed? It ap-
pears that the 18th amendment be-
came somewhat outm0ded and was
repealed by the adoption and ratifi-
cation of the 2lst amendment. It
has also been said that Chief JUS
tice Marshall's- decisions killed the
tenth amendment. If that be true,
why did not Chief Justice Hughes
follow the same procedure in kill
ing the 18th amendment?
l4th Amendment
Now the Court claims to base its
authority for outlawing segregated
schools upon the provisions of the
first paragraph of the l4th amend
ment. The first sentence of the l4th
amendment had only one purpose,
TO wipe out the effect Of the bred
Scott decision, which incidentally
was one of the soundest decisions
ever rendered by the Supreme
Court. The second sentence of this
amendment is framed in this man
ner:
mo State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person Of life
liberty, or property, without due
process of law, nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws"
Now let us consider for a moment
the language just quoted Assume
for the moment that very large
class of citizens as a group are de
MED the right to vote Would not
this constitute abridgment Of their
privileges. or amount to denying
them equal protection Of the laws?
1t would certainly seem that way.
Could not the Court remedy the
situation simply by decreeing that
such was in violation of the l4th
amendment? You would certainly
think so, wouldn't you? But con-
slider that the Negro man found
himself without the right Of suf-
frage, and he found his remedy in
the 18th amendment. Likewise, the
ladies of the country discovered that

It is distinct honor and pleasure
for me to be here today to adj
dress the James Allen Chapter Of

Revolution on a subject of grave
concern to us all: The Constitution
OF the United States and the Su-
preme Court - Today.
Seven hundred and forty four
years ago our British kindred at
Runnymede wrung from King John,
the worst tyrant Of English speak
ing history. Magma Carta, the great
charter of our liberties.
The Magma Carta
The great place of Magma Carta
in constitutional history rests in the
fact that the unlimited prerogative
Of kings was for the first time
brought under restraint Thereafter
the crown was to be under the rule
( Of law. The Great Charter symbo-
Lies the end of absolute and the
beginning of limited monarchy.
Unfortunately during the next 400
years Magma Carta was honored
more in its breach than in its OBJ
servance. But in the seventeenth
century it became the very symbol
OF mans fr e e m. Englishmen
forced through Parliament the cele-
brated Petition Of Right. In spirit
and purpose the blood brother of
the Charter. it drew a line in GER
tain areas which marked the end
of the Kings prerogative and the
beginning of the reign of law. The
writ of habeas corpus was to lie
even when an arrest was by com
mand Of the king or the Star Cham
Der.
But parchments make poor fet-
tiers for tyrants. The petition was
repudiated by Charles l and the
Parliamentary leaders were i'm
priSoned. The executioner's axe
later descended upon his royal
neck. The death sentence declared
that he had ruled. not by law, but

Russian Fishing Fleet Watched By

est attack in the economic cold war;" and said it may presage an attempt to wrest away U. s. Canada fishery which yielded 214 million pounds of halibut last year.
 Harold E. Lokken, a member of the North Pacific Salmon Treaty Advisory Board, said American salmon and halibut fishermen are watching developments in the Der ing Sea with great interest"
 "It all depends on what the Russians are fishing for and how hard they plan to fish," Lokken said. "It all depends on where they are going to fish.
 'In some areas the Russians could fish without bringing up any conflict with American interests.
 "There would be considerable repercussion for the American fleet, however, should the Rus sians take halibut or salmon.
 Legally, the : Russians, not being signatories, are not bound by the North Pacific treaty, but we feel they are morally bound by the terms of the treaty and should observe the same regula- tions as American, Canadian and Japanese fishermen, particularly as far as salmon are concerned" ,"
 Lokken said an American hali- but fleet now en route to the fishing grounds in the Boring Sea and Pacific Ocean near the Aleu- tian Islands, is expected to reach there Friday, to prepare for the April l opening of the halibut season.
 Lokken said the American hai- but fleet probably would be con- centrated on halibut banks lying along the Aleutian Island west from the Shumagin Islands.

SEATTLE, R -- Navy P2V pa trol bombers have a large Russian fishing fleet in the southeastern Boring Sea under constant surveil- lance, the Post t-Intelligencer said today.
 Rear Admiral Arnold McKech- nie, commandant of the 17th Ma val District at Kodiak, was quoted as saying his planes have been tracking the Russians for about two weeks.
 McKechnie's report bore out statement in Washington yester- day by Admiral Arleigh Burke, chief of naval operations, that the Navy is maintaining a close watch on movements of the Russians.
 Pilots shadowing the Soviet fishing fleet described it as ap- rearing to be regular, organized unit" engaged in trawling for bot tom fish.
 McKechnie told the P-I the es- timate of about 50 vessels may be low.
 "We may not be seeing them all, but there's a whole mess of them there," he was quoted. "We think we have sighted at least one tanker. It seems to be a fully or ganized fleet"
 The Russians were reported in international waters, to which they have legal entry, well east of the 175th parallel, not far from the entrance to Alaska's Bristol Bay.
 By treaty agreement, Japanese fishing boats remain west of the l75th meridian. Russia is not a signatory to the International North Pacific Fisheries Conven- ton, however.

 The bill would provide for Alaska's full participation in the highway aid program as of the year beginning July 1, 1860. As of that time, the new state would be- come eligible for some 36 million dollars of aid year as contrasted with the approximate IA million it now receives. Matching require ments would go up simultaneously from the present 10 per cent to 1872 per cent.
 The bill also would accomplish the following:
 Court - Require annual ses- sions of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Anchorage; permit the Alaska Federal District Court to sit in Ketchikan as well as An chorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and Nome; transfer to Alaska the so- called Fund c" amounting to more than a million dollars and made up of court fees and fines deposited with clerks of territor- ial courts.
 Transportation Tax - Continue partial exemption from tax pre- viously permitted for trips be- tween Alaska and other states.
 Housing Continue higher mortgage insurance ceilings ap- plicable under the National Hous- ing Act to Alaska as a territory.

 Alaska's Democratic Senators, Bob Bartlett and Ernest Gruening, said they would support the bill although they are not completely satisfied with its provisions.

'59er Caravan Will Reach Alaska Border Today

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., R R- The '59ers rolled into Whitehorse Tuesday night. The caravan planned only 12- hour stop here, the last major center on the way to Alaska, be- fore continuing their journey. They plan to cross the border into their new home state late today.
 The string of cars, trucks and trailers were given a police escort to the baseball park, where they set up camp for the night.
 Although tired and travel-worn, the group seemed enthusiastic and denied rumors they were planning to split up.
 All are looking forward to life in the 18th State, and say nothing can stop them now.
 At this point, they are only 200 airmiles from the Alaska Yukon Territory border and 1000 miles from the Kenai Peninsula, for which they forsook Michigan to make living as homesteaders.
 The pioneers have found infla- tion has set in in this part of bar ren northern Canada.
 A bottle of soda pop, nickel or dime in Michigan, costs them 20 cents along the Alcan High way. Gasoline for their 19 heavily laden vehicles ranges from 55 to 60 cents a gallon.
 Some of the service station op- orators in the Yukon charge a fee, for water and air. Canned goods are about 10 cents more than in a supermarket back home.
 The higher prices have been making the '59ers tighten the purse strings on their already low budgets.

in the Times list. Rader was be- lieved to be Egan's choice for the position.
 Neither Rader nor acting Cover nor Wade had any comment on the reported outcome of the meeting.
 The Governors office apparent ly sent only one name to the com mittee for endorsement = that of Floyd Guertin, Juneau, to be Com missioner of Administration. His appointment is expected to be an- nounced shortly.
 Guertin will become state direc- tor of finance and take up the cabinet post when the Depart ment of Administration has been established.
 The fact other names were not submitted to the committee indi- cates the Governors office does not contemplate further appoint ments Immediately.
 The Times said the central committee recommended Lou Dischner of Fairbanks for state labor commissioner, with Tom Moore, Anchorage, as second choice.
 Maj. William Crawford, Alaska National Guard Scout commander, from Nome, reportedly won sup port for the adjutant generals post. The Times also said Tony Schwamm of Anchorage was rec commended as Commissioner of Aviation. Juneau sources,, how ever, said his name did not come before the committee.

JUNEAU, (R - A rash of ru- mors popped up here yesterday concerning the Sunday meeting of the Democratic Central Committee and action it may have taken in regard to state appointments.
 Wendell Kay, Anchorage law yer, apparently won the commit tees approval to the Attorney General post while at least half a dozen other candidates were con- sidered.
 After the meeting the Democrats announced there had been no gen. eral endorsement of candidates, but it now appears the committee made several recommendations.
 The Anchorage Daily Times printed a list of candidates yes terday, the paper said had been endorsed at the meeting.
 Democratic leaders denied the endorsement, saying they would endorse a candidate only after he was nominated by the Governors office.
 The Times said Hay, 1855 Speak CT of the House, was the commit tees top choice for the Attorney Generals job. Kay has said he would accept the appointment if it were offered.
 Warren A. Taylor, Speaker of the present House, and E. P. Nc carron, both Fairbanks lawyers. also were considered for the past, the Times said.
 The name of Rep. John Rader, Anchorage, Governor Egan's cam paign manager, was not included
