Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON Much
has been said about the
Senates exercise of its con.
stitutional duty to examine
the qualifications of Jus
tice Fortas to be Chief
Justice of the United
States. In some quarters
it is said that senators
should abdicate their duty
and comply with the Presi
dent’s request without in
quiry.
The criticism ignores the
real obligation of senators
and particularly those who
are members of the Judici
ary Committee to forth
rightly perform their con
stitutional tasks. The ob
ligation arises out of Ar
ticle II of the Constitu
tion which provides that
the President shall appoint
Supreme Court Justices
•‘by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate.”
The gravity of this ob
ligation is clearly revealed
by the nature of the office

a Supreme Court Justice
occupies and the awesome
power he exercises in it.
Supreme Court Justices
hold office for life, and
cannot be held responsible
in any way to the people.
After they ascend the
bench, no external author
ity can control their of
ficial conduct or make
them keep their oaths to
support the Constitution.
This in itself ought to
give the nation pause. The
tragic truth is that in re
cent years the Supreme
Court has repeatedly
usurped and exercised the
power of Congress and the
states to amend the Con
stitution while professing
tc interpret it.
On some occasions it ha 3
encroached upon the con
stitutional powers of the
Congress as the nation’s
legislative body. On other
occasions it has stretched
the legislative powers of
Congress far beyond their

constitutional limits. On oc
casions too numerous to
mention, it has struck
down state action and
state legislation in areas
clearly committed by the
Constitution to the states.
In so doing, the late
Justice Owen J. Roberts
put the problem aptly two
decades ago in his dissent
in Smith vs. Allwright:
‘The reason for my con
cern is that the instant de
cision, overruling that an
nounced about nine years
ago, tends to bring adjudi
cations of this tribunal in
to the same class as a re
stricted railroad ticket,
good for this day and train
only.”
It is idle to suggest that
Congress and the states
can redress the conse
quences of judicial usurpa
tions by exercising their
power to amend the Con
stitution. In the first
place, the Constitution
cannot be amended fast
enough to redress the con
sequences of wholesale ju
dicial usurpations; and in
the second place, it is ab
surd to expect that Su
preme Court Justices who
do not observe the langu
age and history of exist
ing constitutional provi
sions will abide by the
language and history of
newly adopted amend
ments.
Chief Justice Harlan Fisk
Stone stated this under
standably in the Butler
case:
“While unconstitutional
exercise of power by the
executive and legislative
branches of the govern
ment is subject to judicial
restraint, the only check
upon our exercise of power
is our own sense of self
restraint.”
Justice Fortas has been
cn the Supreme Court for
three years. The question
confronting the Senate is
whether he ought to be
elevated for life to the of
fice of Chief Justice —an
office more powerful than
that of the Presidency in
its impact upon constitu
tional government
My questioning of Jus
tice Fortas in committee
hearings has been directed
solely toward determining
whether he possesses a
sense of judicial self-re
straint and is willing to
exercise it. In the last
analysis, the only way to
preserve constitutional gov
ernment is to deny seats on
the Supreme Court to men
who are unwilling to in
terpret the Constitution ac
cording to its true intent.

Flshboat Sanitation
Most commercial fisher
men have long been aware
of the need of keeping
their vessel’s fish hold
clean. Sanitary conditions
in the hold directly affect
the quality of the fish held
in this area. Yet, only
scanty information has
been available to fishermen
on how to properly clean
and sanitize this most cri
tical region. The closest
approach to cleanliness in
many cases has been to
wash the hold, pen boards
and fish boxes with harbor
water—without using bac
terial or other suitable
cleaning or sanitizing com
pounds.
Experiments have shown
that conventional hand
scrubbing and rinsing with
harbor water does not re
duce the bacteria in wood
en fish holds, even though
the surface of the hold ap
pears visually clean and
free of slime.
Fish holds, in many
cases, have been construct
ed to store fish, with little
or no consideration given
to ease in keeping them
sanitary. Slime, blood, ex
creta and water from iced
fish contaminate the hold
area. These materials are
especially difficult to re
move from wooden holds
because only the exposed,
outer surface of the wood
can be effectively washed.
Debris which enters inner
layers of wood through
porous outer areas remains
in the wood to cause foul,
bilge-like odors and con
taminate incoming fish
with “spoilage causing”
bacteria.
Painting, to seal the
wood against the uptake of
debris, has been largely

discontinued. It was rela
tively ineffective and, in
some cases, the bilgy con
dition became more pro
nounced. However, im
pregnation of the wood of
the hold with a solution of
copper - quinolinolate
(cunilate), a wood preserv
ative, has been quite effec
tive in resisting uptake of
the debris. This makes the
wood easier to wash.
Basic to all effective
cleaning are the following
steps: (1) rinse, (2) wash,
(3) rinse, (4) sanitize.
Rinse: Cleaning the hold
should be done as soon as
possible after the fish and
ice are removed. Flush
down as much debris as
possible using fresh water
applied at a high velocity.
Pump this watery waste
from the bilge.
Cleaning: Before the sur.
faces dry from the rinse, a
concentrated detergent so
lution— up to 10 times
more concentrated than
recommended for normal
cleaning should be ap
plied by a high pressure
sprayer or by means of a
stiff brush. Synthetic
household laundry-type de
tergents are usually quite
effective. They should be
of the type suitable for re
moving material of a pro
tein nature. Chlorinated—
and iodinated—type deter
gents are available that re
act chemically with the
proteins causing an effer
vescence of CO2 that actu
ally lifts the debris from
the surface. Detergents are
most effective when used
with warm water.
Rinsing: Rinse the hold
with cool to tepid water
and pump the used clean
ing solution from the hold.

“BELIEVE YOU CAN, AND YOUcff^™
The above statement is something you might
believe—or disbelieve. However, belief is one of
the most powerful of all problem solvers.
As an illustration—it was generally accepted
for many years that it was impossible for a man
to run a mile in four minutes. Along came a
frail Englishman by the name of Roger Bannister
—he ran the mile in 1954 in four minutes flat.
Today there are many who even break that
record.
Why do men break records? They believe
they can!
Why do people reach for goals? They believe
those goals can be obtained.
The chief reason that people are beaten down
by difficulties is because they allow themselves
to think they can be beaten.
Don’t all of us finally find out that we are
usually bigger than all our difficulties.
OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: We repeat:
“Believe you can and you can.”
