Senator Sam J. Ervin Says .... Merry IHI News WASHINGTON—The Senate debate on the President’s de cision to send U. S. forces Into Cambodia raises far reaching issues about the powers of the Presidency in respect to foreign policy. It is precisely for this rea son that the ultimate decision reached by the Congress on ,-this question may transcend all of the immediate military strategies of the hour. No natter what one may think about the wisdom of our or iginal involvement in South east Asia, the fact is that we are now heavily committed to the peace and stability of that area. Thus the Cooper- Church proposal and similar proposals to get us out of the war in Vietnam by a certain Almost Out of It! Next week about this time, you’ll almost be out of it... that’s Tight, another school year will be over before you know it! \ Some of you will start those long awaited summer vacations; others will begin newly-acquired summer jobs; and, alas, there are still others whose major activity will be summer school.

Aside from the practical prob. lems this poses for our mili tary forces, its most import ant consequence would be to strip the of his power to act as commander in-chief of our armed forces. This is the nature of the proposal because, in effect, it seeks to place the command of American troops engaged in combat operation in a Congress of 100 Senators and 435 Representatives. I can not imagine anything that would more nearly resemble bedlam than to have a coun cil of war composed of 100 Senators and 435 Representa tives to determine where the enemy is to be attacked or ■how the defeat of the enemy is going to be undertaken, or how to protect American forces from destruction by an armed enemy. The Founding Fathers were ! wiser than that so they put a provision in the Constitution stating that the commander in-chief of the armed forces was to be the President. To be sure, .the President has no power to declare war, but we have crossed that bridge al ready. Congress declared in the Southeast Asian Resolu tion that our naval vessels were being attacked by North Vietnam, that this attack was part and parcel of the ag gression which North Vietnam was inflicting upon South Vietnam, that pursuant to the Constitution, the Charter of the United Nations, and our obligations under the SEATO Treaty, Congress was author izing the President to take all necessary measures, in cluding the use of armed forces to repel attacks on our ships, and aggression on South Vietnam and the other nations covered by the SEATO Treaty. When Congress de clared these things, it was certainly declaring that a state of war existed, and that it consented for the President to initiate hostilities and use our armed forces in South Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Moreover, it seems to me that some have raised a false issue that the Cambodian op eration constitutes a new war. We' are fighting the same enemy in the same war and must recognize that he has been using sanctuaries along the border of South Vietnam to launch military attacks for the past five years. ‘ Now that the President has determined that it was ne cessary to destroy these mili tary arsenals, I do not think that Congress should enact a law which will assure the enemy that in the future he can use these sanctuaries without fear of attack from American forces. In saying these things, I recognize that there are divi sions in this country over this war and its conduct Even so, in my judgment we risk a constitutional crisis if Con gress seeks to usurp the power of the President to di rect our military forces in battle as commander-in-chief.

Bradford Hays, a native of Oklahoma, who managed President Nixon’s campaign in 1906 in the 13 southern states, is campaign manager for R. Frank Everett’s race tor Con gress. Commenting on the ap pointment of Hays as his campaign manager, Everett stated “that he was quite flat tered to have a man of this stature running his campaign and, of course, this would not have been possible, except for the help from the National Republican Party as ilvell as the White House.” Everett further stated “that he had been quite happy with his prospects for winning in November and now with the First Congressional District being one of the target dis tricts to be taken by the Re publicans he feels more as sured of victory.” Elaborating on the same theme, Hays stated “that the Republican National Cam paign Committee thinks that R. Frank Everett can be elected and that is the rea son I am here. We are de- | veloping a fully staffed cam paign committee and are go ing to be running hard throughout the district until election time in November." It may be dangerous to have a great amount of I money, but, personally, we have decided, if the occasion presents itself, we will try to be brave and risk it.
