Right To Send
Troops -
President Truman had no right
to send troops to Korea to resist
the Communistic aggression there
and in doing so virtually ursurped
the right of Congress to declare
war, Senator Robert A. Taft
charged last night at he delivered
the second of three Weil lectures
here on the "Powers of the Pres
ident." Speaking to an almost overflow
audience in Memorial Hall the
aspirant for the Republican pres
idential nomination5 further
Taft
charged that the Korean "War was
"unnecessary."
"If American troops had re
mained in Korea (following
World War II), the North Ko
reans never would have attacked.
If we had armed the South Ko
reans as Congress approved, it is
doubtful whether the attack
would have been made."
"But someone in the State De
partment," Taft asserted, "chang
ed the policy so that we gave
them no heavy artillery, no tanks
and no airplanes." This neglect of
South Korea was done in spite of
the Wedemeyer Report of 1947,
he said, which "clearly pointed
out that unless we completely
armed the South Koreans, com
munism would sweep over the
country the moment the Ameri
can and Russian troops were
withdrawn."
The President has no authority
to "begin a war by sending troops
to defend any country against the
aggression of some other coun
try," Taft exclaimed and quoted
from various sources, including
v Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D."
Roosevelt and President William
H. Taft (the Ohio senator's
father) to prove his claims.
The question of sending troops
to Europe is more complicated,
Taft said. "There is no doubt
about the President's power to
send troops to occupied Germany
... and he can station troops in
a. friendly country if such country
asks that the troops be sent and
if there is no imminence of attack
and if they are stationed there for
some possible convenience in re
pelling a general attack upon the

Miss A.G. 'Murdered'
At Nite-CIub In Durham
By Bruce Mellon
Durham Lu Long Ogburn, 1951
Miss North Carolina, was mur
dered here last night about 7:30
at the Saddle Club by George
Grume, star football player from
Duke.
Customers were startled at first
but later became composed after
they learned it was only the Phi
Alpha Delta, law fraternity, chap
ters from Duke, Carolina and
nual moot crime. A crime is stag
ed each year to give the future
lawyers a chance to use their
knowledge in arguing a case.
Miss Ogburn, Tommy Medlin,
her date, and Skeet Hesmer, a
frieud, were seated at a table in
the westside Durham supper-club.
Ruffin Woody, a free-lance pho
tographer, had just taken a pic
ture of Miss Ogburn and her par
ty. As he was arranging to take a
second picture, Gecrge Grume
walkel over to her table and ask
ed to have his picture taken with
her. Medlin, a Carolina football
player, told Grume to "Shove off!"
United States itself.
'The sending of troops under
the Atlantic Pact as a part of a
defensive operation against Rus
sia without previous authority
from Congress appears ., . . to be
prohibited" since the Atlantic
Pact is "not self-executing"
Throughout his speech Taft re
affirmed his conviction that the
power without congressional ap
proval to send troops to one coun
try to defend it against a possible
or probable invasion by another"
and attacked the treaty making
aspects of Executive Agreements
(requiring only a majority vote
to pass in the Senate. "If these
various Executive claims are sus
tained, there will be little left
of the power of Congress in for
eign policyThe President would
become a complete dictator in the
entire field of foreign policy and
. . his arbitrary power will ex
tend into many domestic prob
lems also." .
"A Foreign Policy for Ameri
cans" a book by Taft outlining his
views on foreign policy was pub
lished ten days ago, shortly after
he declared his candidacy for the

Grume failed to move and plac
ed his arm around Miss Ogburn
where upon Medlin arose exclaim
ing with a knife in his hand, "I
told you after the game last Sat
urday ,if you started messing with
me, I would kill you."
Grume - drew a 6-inch switch
blade knife on Medlin but hit Miss
North Carolina instead. A scream
followed, Medlin grabbed her.
Then several associates of
Grume's, who had been sitting
with him at a nearby table, grab
bed him before he could strike
again.
Durham city cops arrived and
took Grume and Medlin in cus
tody. They were released under
bond later.
The case will be tried Decem

in Durham County courthouse.
Judge William Umstead will be
the presiding judge. "

Republican nomination. The 121
page book has been labeled "a
campaign pamphlet" by "Mr. Re
publican" opponents. Sen. Brien
MacMahon (D-Conn.), President
Truman's staunch foreign policy
supporter, asserted the book
shows Taft is still an "isolation
ist." .. In 1940 Taft was here under the
sponsorship of the Carolina Poli
tical Union. He has served in the
senate since 1939 and has been a
potential presidential candidate
twice before this year's try. Last
year, he defeated a Fair Deal
backed candidate by 430,000 votes
in Ohio.

Don't Give A e&;
Duke Campus Students "don't
give a damn" about the loss of
their victory bell to University of
North Carolina students, a cam
pus observer said yesterday.
Not only are they apathetic but
they feel that as long as they beat
the Carolina f ooball team last
week that was "spoils" enough.
"We don't care about bells, "so
long as we keep winning the
games," said one student.:
s Three football players were
among those who would not ioin
w
a propsed cavalcade to recover
the, bell in Chapel Hill, while iJ
was reiiaoiy learned that Captain
Jim Gibson showed no interest in
getting the bell back.
In Chapel Hill, a former Duke
student for three years, now at
Carolina pointed out that the bell
was bought by both schools to in
spire keener competition between
the two schools. -
