The Administrations Reaching For
More Powerful of the proposals
which have come from the White
House to the Congress during this
session have one thing in common;
reaching for more power-a PEI
sistent. overriding and apparently
unabashed zeal to build up more
power in the Federal government
and particularly the Executive
branch at the expense of the State
and local governments and individ-
ual freedom itself. Some of the pro-
posals would undermine functions
of the Congress. The influence Of
advisers who would put control of
industry in bureaucratic hands is
too often evident
In this connection, it is signifi-
cant that the Chairman of the Sem

Why Red China Wants In am
one of the endorsers of the Commit
Tee OF One Million, dedicated TO
the fight to prevent admission of
Communist China to the United Ma

has repeatedly voiced the will of
the American people against adj

Hawaii and our West Coast The
abandonment of our position is the
minimum demand of the Red
Chinese-and it is a price we can
not pay.
