Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON—T he s e
arc unusual times fur our
country. There is a grow
ing division and discontent
in many aspects of our
country’s life. Our society
is being tested. Things
we recently took for grant
ed are being questioned.
Cherished institutions are
being changed, sometimes
for the better, more often
not.
All this leads me to
say that there is an in
creasing public awareness
and concern with the tend
ency of the Supreme Court
to assume legislative re
sponsibilities and, in the
guise of constitutional ad
judication, to substitute its
own view of proper policy
for those of Congress, the
states and local communi
ties.
During the debates on
the Omnibus Crime Con
trol Act last spring, the
Senate took a close look
at recent decisions in
which the court has clear
ly trespassed upon the

"A narrow window may let in light,
A tiny star dispel the gloom of night,
A little deed an ancient wrong set right.’’
For most of us great earth-shaking achieve
ments will never be ours. We will very likely
never be known throughout the world for our
accomplishments. Nor will we be known as
failures because this recognition never came to
us.
The most successful of all people are those
who have accomplished indirect achievements.
The little tasks we perform. Year after year a
person who gives his best to needy neighbors,
and through this effort he helps them gain tri
umph
Who can determine how many people see a
tiny star. How can we determine the good that
comes from a single unselfish deed.
OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "One look,
and there may be an end to strife; one smile,
and hate may sheathe her cruel knife."

AMBASSADOR SST
There was a time when all we made
were Ramblers.
And, those Ramblers made our image.
With the predictable result that we got
a reputation for building dependable, little
cars that were high on economy and low on
sex appeal.
We still make the Rambler.
It’s a smarter buy than it ever was.
But it’s no Javelin.
When American Motors can build a
hot, sporty car that out-sports the other
sporty cars, that’s news.
So far, more than 45,000 sporty-car
drivers have decided that the Javelin is a
better car for the money.

legislative powers of the
states and Congress in the
field of criminal law. The
Senate chose not to accept
provisions which I had
sponsored which would
have exercised Congress’
constitutional power to
limit the court’s appellate
and habeas corpus juris
diction. I am pleased to
say that it did adopt, by
decisive votes, other provi
sions which I supported
which symbolize Congress’
opposition to the court’s
assumption of legislative
powers. These votes con
stituted a clear warning
that Congress will not
long tolerate the creation
of an oligarchy of nine
men, who impose their
own legislation upon the
country by 5-4 or even
9-0 votes.
The present controversy
regarding the nominations
of Justice Fortas to be
Chief Justice and Judge
Thornberry to fill the re
sulting vacancy involves
many important questions,
but at the heart of the
matter is the Senate con
cern about returning the
Supreme Court to the ex
ercise of judicial power

lenged in this dispute.
Subtly, but importantly,
the constitutional function
of the Senate has been at
tacked by the joint decision
of the Chief Justice and
the President to permit
the Chief Justice’s resigna
tion to be effective upon
the confirmation of his
successor. On other occa
sions, the Senate has con
sidered the qualifications
of the nominee against the
demands of the office. O'n
this occasion, the Senate
has been faced with the
task of choosing between
an incumbent and his suc
cessor.
With respect to the
qualifications of the nom
inee, the Senate must in
vestigate a nominee’s past
actions and examine his
constitutional philosophy if
it is to properly perform
its duty to “advise and
consent.” Where a nom
inee has already sat upon
the court, consideration of
his past decisions is the
best way to proceed with
this task. A nominee

The Rebel is the family car that dared
to cross the treacherous Baja peninsula.
Most of the specially equipped cars that
start this trip never finish. The Rebel did.
But, if anything changes our image, it
will be the AMX, our two-seater sports car.
The AMX, specially equipped and mod

At this point, it looks like our image

should be willing to dis
cuss not only general con
stitutional philosophy, but
shhould be willing to dis
cuss how he has applied
his philosophy to concrete
cases. During hearings
upon the recent Supreme
Court nominations a kind
of “Judicial sth Amend
ment” was asserted to
shield the nominee’s views
from Senate scrutiny.
-This emphasizes anew
that constitutional process
must be observed if we are
to restore the court to its
proper function. Careful
selection of those who
serve upon the court is the
most effective way to ac
complish this. In perform
ing its “advise and con
sent” duty, the Senate,
too, has an awesome re
sponsibility, and it should
not make its judgment up
on the basis of friendly
assurances of the technical
competence of the nom
inee. Along with other
senators, this is the task I
have been performing in
recent days.

follows in your tracks he
cannot pass you.

Lesson
Continued from Page f
Today, in this uncertain
and strife-torn world in
which we have our ignom
ino u s existence, Jesus —
“God in sandals” walks
by our side, strengthening
us in our moments of
weakness, in our times of
dark despair. He comforts
us, reassures us, helps us
gird ourselves against the
setbacks and disappoint
ments of which no life is
free. Times may change,
but God, in His infinite
ness, is unchanging.
If we so believe, then
shall we have comfort and
strength witkm us. For
God, as revealed in Jesus
Christ, is the foundation
of our very being. How
unfortunate are those who
have nothing but them
selves upon which to rely!
