Federal Govt
Invades Peoples
Reserved Rights

Excerps from an address by
Hon. Burr P. Harrison, member
OF Congress from Virginia S Sev-
enth District. made May /, be-
fore the Richmond Va, Bar
Association:
ION Wednesday Of last week,
the Government of the United
States moved dramatically to
invade further the power of the
peoples representatives over the
public purse and to Subjugate
the expenditure of public money
to the notions of nonelected
strangers in Washington, D. c..
Tiny is the County Of Prince
Edward, but great is the prin-
clple that its people have the
right to be taxed only by their
representatives. right inesti-
mable to them and formidable
to tyrants only.
1.-The 18th Amendment was de-
signed as shield to protect the
individual from the State. In the
tiny county of Prince Edward
we shall learn whether it will
become a sword to strike down
looo1 Golf uo1,or,,,,o,t
with reference to that part
of their effort devoted to the
closing of all Virginia schools
until Prince Edward does their
will, the actions of these non
elected Washington officials in
by-passing the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals is, in some
respects. the most insulting Of
all. 1t is basic that the laws or
no State shall be found to be
administered contrary to the
Federal Constitution until passed
upon by the legitimate interpret
er of State laws, the State Sup
RENE Court. There must be
somebody in the Department of
Justice with sufficient legal
training to find the case of Har-
rlson V. Day in volume 200 of
the Virginia Reports. where the
obligation Of the State with res
pect to public education is clear
ly set forth.
The action against Prince Ed
ward, though ruthless, is not an
isolated incident. 1t forms a pat
tern. 1t finds its counterpart in
the decision of Federal judiciary
to substitute its Judgment for
that of the discount committees
of banks and to compel banks
to release their money after
judges have looked into the
minds of money lenders and
have found that credit was de
MED on account of political ac-
tlvity and not because of credit
risk. 1t has its counterpart in
the action of Federal judiciary
in compelling a renewal of an
ended contract when one of the
parties did not want to renew
the contract. 1t has its counter
part in the action of Federal
judiciary in forbidding the law
full assembly of parents to dis
cuss the education problems of
their children. 1t has its counter
part in the action Of Federal
judiciary in decreeing that when
Congress said a closed shop
shall be illegal, Congress meant
a closed shop shall be legal:
that when Congress said shop
foremen may not be organized.

General Walker

The first two articles of our Constitution Law down
the principle that the President shall be Commander
in-Chief of the armed services provided and supported
by the Congress.
I'M PRACTICE THIS means that policy-making is
reserved to the civilian arm of the government. Even
though the military possesses the physical power of the
nation, II has no control over decisions as to how that
power will be used.
The Hatch Act Of 1888 provides that protection
of national policy and internal morale may require a
restriction on the freedom of action and speech eXer-
cised by civil servants in the political area. This APP
plies to an even greater degree to members of the
military.
1t is only in this context that the controversy in
volving Mai Gen Edwin A. Walker, highly decorated
Korean War veteran, can be properly evaluated.
SOME ACCOUNTS MlSLEAD when they infer that
that the General was admonished by the Army for
Fighting Communism. :" The charge is that he violated
Army regulations by substituting his own troop in
formation program on the Red menace in place of the
program supplied by his superiors in the Defense De-
partment.
More seriously, the Army claims that the high
ranking officer attempted to influence the voting of
soldiers under his command by providing evaluations
of legislators records which had been drawn up by
Americans for Constitutional Action.
NO ONE QUESTIONS the Generals heroism, op-
position to Communism, or right to his own political
opinions. But using his position to gain adherentS to
his political views is quite another matter. W. have
felt all along that he should resign and carry his
criticisms of government to the people as a private
citizen.
We are edited that he has done this. Certainly
he manifests a spirit of dedication in ~resigning his
commission and thereby foregoing all the e%moluments
that he has earned.
In practice, he will doubtless be aided financially
by his admirers, and retired Generals seem to have
little difficulty in obtaining executive positions in
private industry, but the efficacy of sacrifice is in the
will, and he is to be co%mplimented.
WE WOULD ONLY HOPE, now that General
Walker has made the break, that he will not prejudice
his cause by aligning himself with any political party
or special interest group until after he has presented
his case to the American people. Partisan association,
we feel would render his grand gesture largely inef-
fectiVe in its contribution to true patriotism CAT

WE ALL AVE AN OBLIGATION to help protect
the ragged, shivering and the sick round the globe
from the driving blasts of winter. To assist us, to dis
charge this obligation, the Catholic Bishops of the
United States conduct the annual Thanksgiving Cloth
ing Collection.
I'M THE DIOCESE OF COLUMBUS, this project is
conducted on a parish level, and during Thanksgiving
Week our Catholic people will be bringing their cast
off, but still disable, clothing to their parish for pack
ing and shipping.
A coat from this family and a dress from another
adds up to hundreds of pounds of clothing from each
parish, and many thousands from the Diocese lover
2,C00 last year,.
TOGETHER WITH OTHER DIocEsEs, this pyra-
mids to millions Of pounds nationally-15 million in
1860. These usable clothes, shoes, blankets and bed
ding, are distributed to those in direst need in 48
countries.
In the IS years since its beginning, Catholic Re-
lief Services, NC.W.C, the agency of the Church
which handles the clothing, has collected and sent
overseas some 1875 million pounds of clothing, valued
at we'll over one hundred and sixty million dollars.
This is a tremendous outpouring of Charity by the
Catholics of America.
PERHAPS WI HAVE BEEN accustomed to see
ing the picture of a ragged urchin in the Uttered
streets of Hong Kong, or the near-naked form of a
homeless man, old before his years because of lack
of proper nourishment lying beside the road In India,
irving to catch some sleep. Familiarity with such pic
lures has caused us to forget perhaps, that these are
real people. with real needs. Perhaps, likewise, we
have become accustomed to feeling the eyes of the
underprivileged world upon us, pleading for help.
Ne FORGET, PERHAPS, that we are the most af-
fluent nation in the world, maybe in the history of the
world. We may even have forgotten that we will have
to answer for our material as well as our spiritual
blessings when the Just Judge asks us TO give on ac-
count of our stewardship.
U NEEDY BRETHREN ask only for our cast
offs. but for them it may well mean the difference be
tween frost bite and warmth in the winter ahead. For
us it may mean the difference between a happy or an
unpleasant appearance before Almighty God on the
Last Day.

This vague and syrupy re-

tory that are the charter of

SOME PERSONS MAY say
that the film catches the spir-
it of Christ even if it fails to
present historical truth. They
may say that Christ is some
thing more than the privileg-
ed possession of a small group
of people in Palestine 20 CEN
turtles ago, that his message
is eternal and doesn't depend
on the accidents of history.
What they are really saying
is that Christianity is a mat
ter of inner feeling, not Of
historic fact.
This is a temptation that al
ways faces the Christian. He
tends to imagine that relig-
ion should not be entangled
in the cobwebs Of history but
should be a present interior
experience. Joris, one of the
10th century Anabaptist lead
ers, insisted that the Chris
tian religion was a matter of
spirit, not of history:
FAITH IS INSPIRED by
the power of the Spirit and
the truth, and not by the mar
ratives of biblical history, nor
by the history of the signs and
the miraculous facts of the
Apostles and the Prophets,
nor by the visible cross Of
Christ, nor by his 1ncarna-
ton, Death or Resurrection"
Such a religion of inner
feeling alone usually degener-
ates into a religion that con-
centrates on self. So we find

The third vocation is the
vocation of marriage the
call for a man and woman to
love each other exclusively
among all other human beings
so that through each other
they may give to God a spe-
cial kind of love-service which
is called married love, or in
its fullness, family life.
TO LOVE SOMEONE is TO
do the will of the beloved. In
order to love God above all
things and to serve Him fully
in order to be truly and
completely holy - one must
desire to do His will. In mar
riage Gods will can be seen
very clearly. Under God, the
will of the partner in mar
riage, so long as it does not
oppose the law of God, is
Gods will for the husband or
wife.
1t should be a tremendous
thrill for husbands and wives
to realize that when they meet
a real need in their partner
under God that they are ac-
tually loving God himself, for

is, to teach them how to love,

Everyone knows that
''love and marriage GO to-
gether like a horse and

say that falling in love is
q prelude to marriage.
THE HOPE OF EVERY
young couple is that their
love will grow through the
years until the very end of
time. However. too few people
know that marriage is a call
not only to love a man or
woman, but through that hus-
band or wife to love God.
Marriage is a call to love,
a call to love God for all
eternity, a call to the same
kind Of spiritual love similar
to that which a Religious or
priest is called.
FROM ALL ETERNITY God
has within Himself an infinite
variety of patterns according
to which He may be loved.
He sees within His divine Son
many mirror reflections of
Himself. Some of this infinite
variety of possibilities. He
loves very much, and His love
causes them to be placed out
side Himself in external
reality. Each one of us comes
