SECTION ONE—I ]l ' SENATOR (*S I i Ok LENNON jgt j R E PORTS BTflEj Washington—l have been impressed with the appeals from your letters both for and against Senate Joint Res olution 1, commonly referred to as the Bricker Amendment. This is a very involved Constitutional matter. Since coming to the Senate last July 15, I have discussed the proposed amendment and read just about every thing available on the subject. I am sure many of you have done the same thing. I haven’t felt like jumping up on the stump and telling you that I know all the answers about a thing so important and complex. I am still studying it. At the time this is writ-j ten, the: debate on the floor of the Senate is hot and furious. As one of my friends who was visiting the gal lery during the debate said, “Alton, I don’t see how a Philadelphia lawyer could get all the facts for and against a thing like that in five years of study—-especially with 1267 pages of fine print in the testimony before the Judiciary Committee.” AMENDMENT Senator Walter F. George of Georgia has offered a substitute amendment. Let me say I consider him probably the most outstanding member of the Senate. He has been a member for 32 years. Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and is now ranking minority member. He is considered one of the most promi nent Constitutional lawyers in the | country. Senator George’s substitute amendment seems short and simple enough. After he introduced his, amendment. I asked Senator George | to brief me on his thinking. He did, t in detail, and there were other Sena tors who joined me in listening to his explanation. THE GEORGE SUBSTITUTE What Senator George said, with the earnestness and sincerity of a scholar of the old school, I shall never forget. He said that amending the Constitu tion is serious business, and that no surplus of words should be used in a proposed amendment. He feels, and I most certainly agree, that the Con stitution should be the supreme law of the land and supreme above every- i thing, including international agree ments. His amendment says that: treaties which conflict with the Con-1 stitution shall not be legal and that no international agreement other than a treaty shall become effective as in ternal law in the United States except by act of Congress.

Quinn Furniture Company EDENTON, N. C. ■MHfRM Page Six time you read this, the issue will have been settled and my vote recorded. I favor the George substitute as middle ground. Many of my colleagues fear that to insist on the Bricker amend- 1 ment, all the way would result in a.I complete defeat of all of the sug gestions and the George substitute seem- to provide, they say, the safe guards necessary. It would appear ‘ that Senator George has come to the forefront to again prove himself the great statesman we all know him to : !)■•. T feel confident that is the reason i President Eisenhower called him toj the White House recently for hisi views. At. the present time, I hope and believe that the majority of the Southern Senators will favor the George substitute. THIS-AND-THAT I : Senator Hoey has been acclaimed for bis leadership in helping to work out in conference the final cotton acre age increase bill . . . He and I were over at the television studios the oth er day to make our television film when we ran into the Vice-President who was just completing his program. He was rushing around in order to get hack to open the Senate Session . . . Speaking of television, one of the Con ! gressmen is reported to have made a I fluff for sure on television w r hen he got up and proudly stated. “Hello, la dies and gentlemen, I’m glad to come into your bedroom again.” Os course, what he meant to say was “living 1 room.” ... I hone those of you who have an opportunity will read Dr. Har i ris’ prayers at the opening of the Sen |ate each dav. He is pastor of Foun dry Methodist Church here in Wash ington and is Senate Chaplain . . . Senator Monronev of Oklahoma wants to convert a room in the Capitol into a prayer room for all members of Con gress to use for meditation. I think he is to be highly complimented for this and it should be done . . . Where children are, there is the golden age. —Novalis.
