SENATOR I
1Qom EfivLtt
I - SAYS -
WASHINGTON - Senate
debate on the extension of the
controversial Voting Rights
Act of 1965 moved in a new
direction last week. By a 64 to
17 vote. Majority Leader
Mansfield won approval of a
constitutionally questionable
amendment allowing 18 - year -
olds the right to vote. The
amendment is subject to a
Senate - House conference
where House opposition to the
lb -"year - old vote is said to be
strong.
I voted against the statutory
change allowing 18-- year - olds
to vote for two reasons^
First, it seems to mat tlut if
th? Constitution has any
vitality, this provision is plainly
unconstitutional. #The Seante
has pending in Co'mmittee S.J.
Res. 147. which would submit
to the States a constitutional
amendment setting the voting
age at 18 years throughout the
Nation. If we are to deal with
this issue. S.J Res. 147 has the
virtue of following the
prescribed method for
changing our basic
constitutional law. On the
other hand, the Mansfield
amendment, by taking the
statutory approach, runs
counter to lour express
provisions ot the Constitution
These are Article I. section 2,
Article II, section 1. and the
Tenth and Seventeenth
Amendments to the
Constitution, which spell out
in unequivocal language that
the Slates have the power to
prescribe qualifications for
voting, subject only to the
condition that race or sex
cannot be used to deny any
individual the right to vote.
Second, I think it is unwise
to deal with the 18 ? year - old
voting amendment in summary
lashion. A change of this
magnitude deserves
considerable study, and the
Mansfield amendment was not
even referred to the Judiciary
Committee for review prior to
its consideration.
In saying these things, I
i ecognize ihat there are
compelling arguments that 18 ?
year - olds ought to be
permitted to vote, because
many ot our 18 - year - olds
possess greater educational
opportunities than existed two
centuries ago. It IS said. too.
'hat if a young man can be
compelled to enter the service
ot his country prior to his "Mst
birthday, lie ought to "be
permitted to vote, and decide
who shall represent him in the
government of his community.
State, and Nation But ihere is
more to the matter than this.
Any legal age requirement
contains a debatable
arbitrariness over the standard
ol maturity. The fact is that
much ot our present law
governing property, business,
and contracts is founded upon
'he English common law
precept that 21 years ,s the
legal age for adult judgments.
True, tour Slates of the Union
-- Georgia. Kentucky, Alaska,
and . Hawaii - permit voting
before 21 years. Still, 46 Slates
have set 21 years as their
voting age, and this fact alone
ought to give Congress pause
beforn, it arbitrarily writes a
new voting requirement for the
entire nation.
IV issue now goes to the

Public opinion expert Dr.
3eorge Gallup once completed
i survey whiclr shows tint well
rdi-cated pebple regard
advertising with more favor
lhan persons with less
:ducation. ^
Dr. Gallup found that
:ducation, instead of increasing
esistance, actually gives a
person more appreciation for
the services rendered by
advertising.
ReSpect for advertising also
increased with income and
social standing of various
groups. However, the survey
showed that a large majority of
people in all social brackets
feel that-life would be more
difficult if advertising suddenly
vanished.
People ; lold the Gallup
surveyors that they like
Advertising because it provides
mormation about t tie
variability, quality, price and
irand of products.
When given the choice
ret ween an advertised product
ind one that has not been
idvertised, 76 per cent of the
ntbltc indicated preference for
lie advertised brand. In other
vords, advertising is a'major
actor in the establishment of
:onfidence in a jffoduct or a
ompany.
