Judges Jim Proctor and Al- an Goldshorough were the two judg- es who had the courage to challenge the right of the State Department to negotiate executive agreements with another country without rati- (to news cameras fication by the Senate. To date the State Department has negotiated 38 air treaties without | paying any attention to the Consti- | tution of the United States which | requires treaties with foreign coun- tries to be ratified by a two-thirds Senate vote. Now, for the first time, the courts have called a stop. While the court depree did not actually pass on the merits of the issue, and actually passed the question on to the Sup- reme Court, nevertheless Canada is al;‘elady up in arms. What brought the issue to a cli- max was when Colonial Air Lines, a small company with a phenomen- al 19-year record without a fatility, got tired of being kicked around. {The State Department had given Cgnada a route parallel to Colon- J's, from Montreal to New York, while simultaneously denying Colon- iad the right to fly to Washington. Colonial challenged the State D’pflrtment's power to negotiate a treaty without Senate ratification. In retaliation, Canada is now so irate that it has served Colonial with netice to show cause why) iti should not be closed down on| t}ie Montreal route after December 12 . What the issue partly boils down to is that the big air lines are able to hire top Cabinet-level lob- byists to protect their interests when State Department executive agreements are being written. ‘American Airlines, for instance, retains as its attorney, the son-in- law of Secretary of State Acheson; while Pan American, long retained } Louis Jehnson, now Secretary of National Defense. The little com- panies, able to afford no such lob- bying luxury, have to fall back on the Constitution of the United Stat- es. “Sockless” Jim Folsom i It has never been told before| how “kissin' Jim"—Alabama’s fab-! ulous Governor James E. Folsom— almost becam? known as “sockless | Jim.” \ Except for the delicate interces-| sion of a thoughtful Mobile pub- lisher, the Alabama chief executive might still be living down a front- page reputation as the “barefoot Governor with shoes on.” The trouble was that Jim's feet were so big he couldn’t find a pair | of, socks to fit. He solved the prob- 11: simply by going without socks al wearing his Charlie Chaplin | ed feew. This went against the grain with R. B. Chandler, publisher of the Mobile Press-Register, who suspect- ed that the eyes of the nation |} would be east on the Governor’s big, undraped feet. So with the dignity of Alabama at stake, Chandler dictated a formal letter to the Governor just before his inauguration. Chandler observed in effect, that he didn’t mind Big Jim sticking his foot in his mouth occasionally as long as he didn'l‘ stick both feet in the public eye. ing schooi for the feeble-minded has a long waiting list. Two states, Nevada and Mississippi, do not even have a training school for this purpose. Arizona is building one. THESE DAYS el e SR GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY JUDGE SCHIRICK'S DECISION Judge Harry E.

They said that Hoonah had a population of 500 perma- nent residents, owned a public waterworks system and had just spent 1$40,000 on construction of an electric light and power piant. | After a stirring pep rally send-off, the Douglas High School basket- ball team left early in the morning on the Mafguerite for Skagway to |play the local team.

Finally, to save the state from embarrassment, Chandler offered to scare up some socks for the Governor. Big Jim cheerfully accepted the offer, and Chandler sent out a frantic plea to the cotton mills. He warned that a “sockless Gover- mor” in the heart of the cotton belt would be bad publicity for the industry, might even start a fad among the younger generation who would imitate the Governor and al- s0 go without socks. A cotton mill in Northern Ala- bama immediately responded. It} made up a batch of oversized socks that would fit the Governer of Alabama, and Big Jim wears them to this day. Neglected Children - While the American public has responded to many worthy drives to make our people healthier and happier citizens, the Government— and particularly Congress—has been blind to a disgraceful social prob- lem—the lack of public school fa- cilities for feeble-minded children. While we have been making great strides in the scientific develop- ment of the atom—chiefly for war| we are still in the dark purposes ages relative to caring for close to‘a million mentally retarded children. Some of these unfortunate young- sters happen to belong to families who can afford to send them to ex- pensive private schools, where they receive adequate care. However, the, great majority are the children of poor families and either live like hermits, because their parents are afraid to expoSe them to the ridi- cule of other children, or—worse; still, perhaps—roam the streets of our big cities, because there is no room for them in overcrowded training schools maintained by state |our schools is a long, dull and un- inspired document. The Judge de- cided that Communists may teach our children and that there is noth- ing we can do about it because the Communists have a Constitu- tional right to teach Communism in schools supported by taxpayers’ money. Compare that with various decisions to the effect that it is unconstitutional to teach God and religion and moral law—and you can see how far we have become influenced by Marxist materialism. The argument that teaching is not a right but a privilege, that the teacher is, after all, a hired.em- ployee who should live up to the terms of employment, leaves the Judge cold. The assumption is that the Judge, having spoken, we can do nothing about it. However, there are many things we can do. First of all, it must be seen to it that the Judge’s decision is gppealed: up. to.the Sup- reme Court of the United States. Meanwhile, parents can object to the indocrination of their children, making repeated and, if necessary, violent protests and demonstrations cannot be fulfilled. “This, in the main, contribution which Lenin made his works. . .” | This was said in 1927, which is|li_ is the new g iu“ 22 years ago.

Ward said he looked up from his work suddenly and saw the bird lapping its way up the bar like in apparition from the general iirection of the front door. He fol- owed the example of customers and ought cover, at the same time ‘oping the creature wouldn't de- ide to land among the polished ;lasses resting on the backbar. After a couple of cramped zooms iround the bar the sea bird headed for the front door again leaving its mark only in the minds ot hose who witnessed the sight. When the commotion had died jown and the feathers settled, Nard congratulated Ole Lloyd who allantly held the door open, on he presumption it was a lady gull, nd permitted her to fly to free-| lom. The bartender said it was the irst such visit from the winged lier, and singe it didn’t even have short one, he supposes it will be her last. ¢ NOTICE After December 10, no telephone -entals for the month of December will be accepted at a discount.
