' Regulating Railroads
The State of Arizona
brought an action against the
Southern Pacific Railroad for
violation of the Arizona Train
Limit Law which made it un
lawful to operate within the
state a train of more than
fourteen passenger cars
seventy freight cars. The
Southern Pacific admitted its
violations of the statute, but
claimed the law was uncon
stitutional under the com
merce clause of the U.S. Con
dilution, which confers upon
the U.S. Congress the power
to regular interstate com
merce. Arizona attempted to
uphold the statute as a valid
exercise of its police power,
claiming that the statute was
necessary as a safety measure
to protect train crews . from
the injuries often caused by
the "slack action" of long
trains.
The United States Supreme
Court held the Arizona law
' Invalid on the ground that it
imposed an undue burden on
Inter state commerce. The
Court stated: "At present the
seventy freight car laws are
enforced only in Arizona and
Oklahoma. The record here
shows that the enforcement
of the Arizona statute results
in freight trains being broken
up and reformed at the Cali
fornia Border and in New
Mexico, some distance from
the Arizona line. Frequently
it is not feasible to operate
a newly assembled train from
the New Mexico yard nearest
to Arizona, with the result
that the Arizona limitation
governs the flow of traffic as
far cast as El Paso, Texas. For
similar reasons the Arizona
law often controls the length
of trains all the way from
Los Angeles to El Paso."
Ever since the case of Gib
bons vs. Ogden, decided by
the U.S. Supreme Court in
1824, the Court has held that
the states have no authority to
impede interstate commerce
substantially because of the
necessity for national uni
formity in the regulation of
interstate commerce. In each
case the Court must balance
the burden on interstate com
merce as against the end
sought to be achieved by the
state, i.e., to protect the
health, safety, or morals of
its citizens through the exer
cise of the state police power.
The commerce clause has
been held to invalidate the
following state enactments:
fixing the number of cars In
an interstate train and the
number of passengers in each
car; ordering an interstate
railroad to detour its through
passenger trains for the bene
fit of a small city; command
ing trains to stop at all junc
tions; and ordering at least
one passenger train a day to
stop in every village having
a post office and 200 inhabitants.
A reasonable exercise of
state police power has gener
ally been upheld though it to
some extent affected inter
state commerce. Thus, a state
may license trainmen in order
to Insure their competence;
prescribe the size of crews
manning Interstate trains; lim
it the speed of trains within
the city limits; require an in
terstate railroad to eliminate
grade crossings; and pass lo
cal quarantine laws applicable
to goods moving in interstate
commerce.
In the Southern Pacific
case, the Court felt that the
total effect of the Arizona
Train Limit Law as a safety
measure was insufficient to
outweigh the national inter
est in keeping interstate com
merce free from serious interference.

Great Fire of lfififi, which des
troyed much of London. Just
before the fire, King Charles
II asked architect Sir Chris
topher Wren to redesign the
cathedral which was in a bad
state of repair after lislitning
struck it several times.
After the fire Wren began
turning his ideas into stone.
He amended his earlier and
unorthodox plans of a one
story cathedral without aisles
or clock and bell towers.
Finest Example
Rebuilding began in 1675,
and when completed in 1710.
St. Paul's was the finest ex
ample of Renaissance architec
ture in England. '
The cathedral is built in the
shape of a cross, crowned with
a huge dome which rises to a
lantern-shaped peak. The
cross at the very top stands
369 feet above the pavement.
Steps lead up to the impres
sive western- face, with a
portico of 12 double columns
and another eight columns
above. Over all this is a pedi
ment containing a sculpture
by Francis Bird of the conver
sion of St. Paul. The clock and
bell towers rise on either side
of this front.
St. Paul's survived World
War II, but just barely. At the
end of the war only six attic
windows had any glass left in
them. Bombs had demolished
the north transept and the
sanctuary and b'2 incendiary
bombs had fallen on or beside
the cathedral.
Restoration took a long
lime. By ljjt) on.y ui.: n....
transept still had to be com-
sleep better
better
plelcd - and this isn't finished
yet,
St. Paul's Is the resting
place of many famous men, in
cluding Wren, Lord Nelson
and the Duke of Wellington.
St. Paul's often is described
as "the parish church of the
British Commonwealth' but
it has strong American con
nections, too.
Roll of Honor Presented
On July 4, 1951, Gen. Eisen
hower presented the Dean
of St. Paul's, W. R. Matthews.
wilh a Roll of Honor contain
ing over 23,000 names of
Americans who lost their lives
during World War II while
based in Britain.
This Role of Honor is now
in the American Memorial
Chapel, which was completed
in 13511. The chapel was dedi
cated Nov. 26, 1958 to "The
American dead of the Second
World War from the people
of Britain." Queen Elizabeth
II and Vice-President Richard
Nixon were at the service.
Queen Mother Elizabeth
will attend a festival service
June 7 to commemorate the
2501 h anniversary of St,
Paul's
As the cathedral's press ad
visor observed: "St. Paul's is
an international shrine."

Ceds Term Hixon
Enemy of Peace
Moscow - IIIPII - The Com
munist press Saturday aimed
a broadside at Vice President
Richard M. Nixon as an en
emy of peace. There was no
mention of Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev's vitriolic attack
on President Eisenhower.
The Communist party paper
Pravda coupled a denuncia
tion of Nixon with a report of
favorable foreign reaction to
Khrushchev's latest disarma
ment proposals.
However, western observ
ers in the Soviet capital said
tile disarmament message
Krushchev wanted to empha
size nt his rare Kremlin press
conference Friday may have
been lost on the world due to
I his denunciation of Eisen-
liower as a "dangerous" Prcs
, idenl.
Prnvda's attack on Nixon
was labeled "the dirty work
of Mr. Nixon." It attacked his
recent speech before the
SEATO conference in Wash
ington. Nixon's provocative activi
ties ax;iinst peace are now
clearer to all people, includ
ing the U.S. people." Pravda
said.
