There Is No Appeal From Disgrace
Of Lying to the House of Commons

the sanction of normal politi-
cal controversy.
But lying to the House Of
Commons in q solemn per-
sonal statement Is like telling
q deliberate lie while under
oath. 1t is an offense which
Parliament cannot forgive
without outraging its own
values. John Profumo has
now fallen as the dishonored
victim rejected by his coll
leagues in the Commons who
had no other choice.
The tragedy. however, does
not close with one wrecked
career or the garish vul-
garities Of Christine Keller.
Causes and personalities that
should remain untouched by
all this sordidness have been
cruelty drawn into the
spreading mess. Even Prime
Minister Macmillan, who de-
serves a better fate, has been
bantered by destiny and has
emerged from the current
test as a diminished and
vulnerable figure. His de-
tense persuaded a reluctant
majority in Parliament but
it never silenced the mu-
tinous voices in his own
party, and more disquieting
still, it never stopped the
reverberating accusations in
the country.
Who would have thought
there was so much venom in
Christine's kiss? It may yet
prove mortal to a govern
ment. A lack Of taste may
sometimes be more rulnouS
than a breach of ethics. For
shame cannot wither, though
custom may stale, her in
finite sameness.
Outside Parliament the
issues are being debated with
a mixture Of bewildered
anger and cynical gossip.

Party leader, denied that

Profumo Is savage, inexor-

sensitive people to hope he
may be spared the additional

Under the British parlia-

DAVID LAWRENCE
Says Ratification Count Included States
Which Were Denied Seats in CONGRESS

A significant book on the
school-segregation problem.
recently published, throws
light on important phases Of
President Kennedy's "civil
rights" program. It was
written by James j. Kilpat-
rick, editor Of the Richmond
(Va.) News Leader, who a
few years ago received the
University of Missouri's Gold
Medal for distinguished serv-
ice to journalism because Of
his successful campaign to
free a Negro sentenced to life
imprisonment for a murder
he did not commit.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick has made ex-
tensive research into the facts
concerning the alleged rati-
fication OF the Fourteenth
Amendment on which the
new civil rights" bills are in
sents-from the committee
records in Congress, the
speeches Of members, the Of
fetal acts-undisputed EVIL
dence concerning the exact
method by which Southern
legislatures were coerced into
"ratifying" the Fourteenth
Amendment. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
writes:
ION July 20, 1858. Secre-
tary Of State Seward issued
a cautious proclamation GER
tifying that the Fourteenth
Amendment had been rati-
fled. There were, he sur
missed, 81 States then in the
Union Twenty-eight, by
Stewards count, had approved
the amendment, but he was
doubtful about the whole af-
fair. Among his % were
Arkansas, Florida, North Car
DINA, Louisiana, and South
Carolina, where ratification
had been sanctioned by
newly constituted and newly
established bodies avowing
themselves to be acting as the
legislatures Of these States.
If their resolutions were valid,
and II the original ratifica-
tons Of Ohio and New Jersey
were still valid, notwith-
standing their subsequent
Withdrawals, the amendment
was a part Of the Constitu-
ton.

and a contempt for make

The American press, in fol-
lowing so avidly the details
of the Profumo affair, might
with advantage study the
heroic example Of The Times
in Its efforts to establish
standards Of conduct worthy
Of respect and congenlal to

Stewards doubts. It ordered
him to declare the amend
ment nconditionally
adopted; and on July 20,
adding the names of Ala
bama and Georgia. whose
notifications had Just been
received, Seward declared
the Fourteenth officially a
part Of the Constitution.
WAS the Fourteenth
Amendment thus legally and
constitutionally added to the
Constitution in 1858? 1t is
exceedingly doubtful. Neither
a resolution Of the Congress
nor a proclamation Of a
Secretary Of State can super
sede the Constitution itself.
II the States Of Arkansas,
Florida, North Carolina,
Alabama, South Carolina,
and Louisiana were in the
Union in 1865, when their
notifications Of the Thir-
tenth Amendment were
counted among the three
fourths necessary to adop-
ton, it is impossible to
understand how they legally
could have been read out Of
the Union by the act Of
March 2, 1867, put under
military dictatorship, and
ordered to ratify the Four
tenth Amendment under
duress.
I'm any event, reliance
must be placed upon the
coerced ratification Of either
five or seven Southern States
which at that time were
denied q republican gov
eminent. denied representa-
ton in the Congress, and
denied the right to act freely

Mr.. Fitzpatrick says this
alleged constitutional provi-
sion-on which the Supreme
Court relied in its ruling in
the school desegregation
cases in 1954-thus stemmed
from tainted parenthood."
He points out, too, that
neither the Congress that
