Constitutionality of the CVA
In a letter to Governor Douglas McKay, ex-Governor
Oswald West states that in none of the discussions as to
the merits and demerits of the proposed Columbia Valley
Administration has the question been raised as to its con
stitutionality. The issue was raised by Raymond Moley,
former chief braintruster of the New Deal at its incep
tion, in the magazine Newsweek. He charges that:
'The CVA proposal would set up a monopolistic gov
ernment corporation, well protected from the reach of gov
ernments of the four states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana, and practically independent of congress.
"Since its huge properties would be removed from the
reach of the taxing authorities of state and local govern
ments, those agencies, thus impoverished, would become
mendicants dependent upon the CVA.
"It is not only private enterprise that is proscribed in
the Columbia Valley Administration. It is the public's
control of its own government."
West quotes Article IV, Section 4 of the federal con
stitution which says, "The United States shall guarantee
to every state in this Union a republican form of govern
ment." '
West also quotes from President James Madison, who
was a leader in the constitutional convention in 1787, and
rightly called ' Father of the Constitution," who cooperated
with Hamilton and Jay in writing a series of papers under
the title of The Federalist, explaining the new constitution,
No. XLIII, stating that the guarantee supposes a pre-existing
form of government of the form which is to be guar
anteed: "As long, therefore, as the existing republican
forms are continued by the states, they are guaranteed
by the constitution."
Similar views were expressed by Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Story, an authority on the constitution ; and Judge
Thomas M. Cooley, also acknowledged authority on consti
tutional law, who defined a republican form of government
as "a government by the people: a government by repre
sentatives chosen by the people."
West concludes: "The constitutional question herein
raised may prove without merit, but it is of sufficient im
portance to demand lerious thought and discussion by
both sides."
Emotions Grip Council of Europe
What goes on in Strasbourg, France, these days is
enough to strain to the limit the emotions of Europeans.
Cold words fail to carry the drama and feeling of the
infant Council of Europe which is meeting at Strasbourg.
The stature of the delegates from the various countries
is enough to emphasize the moment of the occasion. Among
the delegates are the best-known politicians and party lead
ers of Western Europe. Most of them had been in the aban
doned League of Nations. And a good proportion had
been present when the United Nations was born in San
Francisco.
What makes the meeting of the Council of Europe dif
ferent from the other conclaves of nations is the unasham
ed reason for the Council : Self-preservation of the nations
and peoples represented.
Leon Blum of France, who watched the League of Na
tions be strangled by power politics, let go to his emotions
when he said: "With all my strength, with all my soul, I
hope this will remain one of those cardinal dates of which
the succession marks and measures human progress."
One of the better indications of how strongly Europe
feels about the meeting for survival is the representation
that is present there among the press of the continent.
There are more reporters covering the meetings than had
been at the United Nations or the councils of foreign min
isters. Offering dynamic leadership to the event to bring poli
tical union to the countries of Europe is Winston Church
ill. The war-time British prime minister symbolizes the
long fight for such a union of countries. His political and
historical insight is backed by events. He has warned
his fellow Europeans: Unite or perish.

Pankln released a decision in the case of a 21-year-old

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
'Little Blowhard'-He
Can Weather Anything
By HAL BOYLE
New York VP) Life has been a breezy round of gayety since
"Little Blowhard" came to our house to stay.
The neighbors drop in unexpectedly. Lost friends from bygone
years
look
up and stay for
a n enchanted
evening.
Yes, sir, the
world has been
making a beat
en path to our
doorway. And
it's all because
of "Little Blow
hard." He's boomed
our social stand-
ing so high I don't see how the
blue book can leave us oui an-
other year unless its editors
are overlooking us for pure
spitc'
"Little Blowhard" is an air-
conditioning unit.
He specializes in making the
good old summertime feel as
good as the good old wintertime.
He throws heat out the window
as fast as he finds it; just loves
to re-weather the weather.
For years Frances has been
threatening to get one of these
gadgets. And I've fought against
it on religious, as well as fin-
ancial, grounds.
"If the Lord meant Manhattan
to be cool in the summer," I
objected, "He would float an
iceberg up the East river and
blow a wind across it to make
everyone comfortable."
"Don't talk nonsense on your
days off from work," said
Frances. "Electricity comes from
heaven, and they've figured out
a way to use electricity to make
a room cool. And, furthermore,
the Lord helps those who help
themselves."
From there the conversation
drifted on to more Important
topics, like why hadn't I bought
her an engagement ring 12 years
ago and when, If ever, did I plan
to get it? Soon there was a nice
cool two-way breeze going.
Well, I forgot all about the
matter until the other day I came

his false teeth in court today.
Mrs. Bessie Ledick, a neighbor,
said the teeth were hers. She
told Justice of the Peace Willis
Stark she offered to sell them
to Humphrey last week for $50.
He tried them for size and de
cided to keep them, she said,
but refused to pay her. "They're
mine," Humphrey retorted' In
court yesterday. "Somebody cut
my screen door while I was
home and opened the bedroom
door. I glanced at the window
and it looked like the radiator
of a speeding car was crashing
into into the room.
Instinctively I hit the floor.
Just then Frances came in and
said:
"What are you doing, rover
boy, looking for termites?"
"Duck, or it'll hit you," I
said, pointing at the window.
"Don't be a goose that's our
new air-conditioning unit, an-
nounced Frances.
Isn't it a nice
surprjse?"
l tried to tell her that it was
fooIish to buy a wind machine
so late, since the worst of the
summer was over. But it is no
use arguing with wives or the
weather.
For thf next live days heat
wave gripped the town.
"See?" said Frances, every
time the thermometer did any-
thing. And all it did was to rise.
"Little Blowhard" huffed and
puffed like a polar bear choking
on an lce cube Three mornings
in , row j woke up with Icicles
between my toes. Then Frances
found that by turning a few
knobs the little monster could
be calmed down,

Qur guests love him. They
eome at dusk and most of them
ieave before daybreak. They like
to tease "Little Blowhard." They
blow cigaret smoke in his side,
and he whooshes it out his front
radiator in a filtered blue haze,
"r-m not running him down,"
,aid one guest, "but I know an
air-conditioner up in the Bronx
that can blow smoke rings. Of
course, he's a year older than
your Little Blowhard."

At one time it was the mark

But today, Buford said, that

Buford was glad to write the
