MAY tf,'fts2 ill U ■ ;; 1 p ******** *by Richard Hill Wilkinson] , ■*■■■*■■"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■l QERRY’S PAST had come to *■* life. He should have known it would. A man can’t play around a fat, have a lot of stormy affairs with women, and then expect to put it all behind him when finally he finds the one girl in the world and mar ries her. That’s what had happened to Ger (ry. He was 31 when he met Linda. She had none of those qualities that .'the girls of his wild oats days pos sessed. She loved him, he was sure, as deeply as he loved her. Only occasionally did he remem ber the old days, and then it was with a great sense of relief that they were behind him. Once in a |While it occurred to him with a feel ling of horror how awful it would be if Linda were to find out about 'his past. He realized with a sickening sense of dread how easy it was go ling to be for Linda to find out the . might they went to the masked charity. When it came time to un mask, there was Fanchon Fucss .sitting at the. table next to them. Fanchon! Os all the girls of his past, , she was the one who had lived in it the most. HE TRIED TO PRETEND he didn’t recognize her, but that was futile. She caught his eye and smiled, and the way she srhiled reminded the way she used ] to be, and he knew there was no hope for him. Fanchon had loved him. He had told her he wasn’t a marrying man. He had finally had : to run away. i Lord! He saw with a shock that the man she was with was Fergus Yates, his best friend. They were getting up, coming towards him. “Gerry! It’s so good to see you again!’’ f Gerry forced a grin. “Hello, Fan chon. Fancy meeting you here. By the way, this is Linda, my wife.” He looked at Fanchon pleadingly. “How nice to meet Gerry’s wife. And to think you two boys are friends.” Fanchon glanced at Fer gus Yates, then at Gerry. Inward ly Gerry ground his teeth. She hadn’t changed a bit. Still knew how to play a cute little game, to torment. He did his best, and succeeded in not letting Fanchon get alone with Linda. When Linda went out to powder her nose he asked Fanchon ashington ji •••••••••••••••• UROHE of divergent opin- I: • over the President’s seizure j steel mills in the national in ..i-est continues to occupy congress .with almost continual debate in ;one form or another. As a result, >a log jam* of important legislation is backing up. Attempts to slash 'specific appropriations with which - 'to run the steel mills, to cut off all for this purpose, ’which failed, filing of impeachment 'resolutions by Congressman Robert {Halle of Maine, one to have the judiciary committee study whether !the President should be impeached,, another to declare seizure of the steel mills as unconstitutional were iall handled by congress This latter >of course clearly invades the pre rogatives of the court, which did (declare the seizure unconstitution jal. | Congressman Georgp H. Bender, Ohio, has a bill for a special 11- member bipartisan committee to study impeachment possibilities; Congressman Howard Smith, Vir ginia, a bill to condemn the seizure, and Congressman Fred Coudert, jr., New York, a joint resolution to prohibit use of federal funds to carry out the seizure order. The rider adopted by the senate on a supplemental appropriation bill to prohibit use of funds in that particular bill was meaningless, since no funds involved could have been used anyway, • * * • Senators Ferguson, Michigan, Knowland, California, Bridges, the minority leader, and Capehart, In diana, took the lead in seeking to tie the president’s hands on appropria tions. They lost their amendment, however, which would have pre vented use of any federal funds on a vote of 47 to 29, short of the nec essary two-thirds majority to sus pend the senate rules. Thirty-six Republicans, and 11 Democrats, all southern senators, joined the Fer guson contingent, while 29 Demo crats opposed. In the debate over constitutional ity of the President’s action, Sena tors Humphrey, Minnesota, McFar land, Arizona and Morse, Oregon, carried the brunt of the debate in fsupport of the President’s Inherent power under the constitution to seize the steel mills. There is little questions so fast she didn’t haye a. chance to follow'. He tried to tell her by bis actions and being subtle in what he said that he had changed, and for heaven’s sake toi give him a break. If Linda ever found out. ... • He’d better get Linda alone and make a clean breast of it. No, it; was too late for that. He’d appeal to Fergus. No, Fergus was the type who would arch his brows when Ho leanjed of the affair he, Gerry, had had with Fanchon. There was only one course left. Fanchon. He musl get her alone. A horrible though! struck him. Blackmail! That was her game. That’s why she was holding off. She was going to hold him up. Thai 1 was the kind of woman she was. Well, if that were the only way of saving himself with Linda, he’d pay. Having Linda’s respect and love was worth any price. Fanchon rose from the table. “Ex cuse me, please. I’ll only be a mo ment” She left them. From the cor ner of his eye Gerry saw her turn at the door. Just a fleeting glance, but he understood. A grimness stole over him, a bitterness. Fergus said: “How about It, Lin da? Time we danced, isn’t it?” “Os course, Ferg.” * GERRY WAS ALONE. He steeled himself, formed words in his mind, rose, headed for the foyer. Fanchon, was there, powdering her nose in an alcove. She saw Gerry in tht mirror and whirled. “Gerry!” “Well?” said Gerry, Ue merli hard. * “Oh, Gerry, don’t look at ma lika that, I—l know what you’re think ing. But you must believe me. I; love him. He—he must’nt know. It : would break my heart to have him find out.” “Wha-what?” said Gerry. “Can’t you see I’ve changed?" she went on desperately, wildly., “The past is behind us. Can’t you let me forget it? I love Fergus. He loves me. It’s real. It’s the first real thing I’ve ever known. I wantj to forget all that’s happened before. I want to get married and have a home and babies.” She paused, breathless, her eyes searching his, pleading. “Oh,” said Gerry, and wet his, lips. “Mum’s the word, from ol« Gerry.” question however but that this moot question will go to the supreme court before there can be any def inite opinion as to the Presidential power. In the meantime, although the congress has the clear right to do so, it has done nothing about legislation which would make clear cut the President’s power by statu tory authority. There are no stat utes on the books now which govern the question. • • • Senator Morse, considered by many the best constitutional law yer in the senate, maintains that the President does have inherent power, but that there is another question which the courts would al so rule upon and that is ns to whether such seizure was “reason able” in the light of the national emergency. According to constitutional law yers and observers here, the gov ernment is operating under a state of national emergency with which Congress has concurred by passing the national defense act setting up allocations and price and wage con trols. Further, the Congress has set up by statute, the size of the army, the number of airplanes, the num ber of ships which must be pur chased, appropriated billions of dolla-s to be spent for these pur -1 poses, and has delegated to the President as commander-in-chief power to carry out these statutes. Many precedents have been set > by former presidents. « The most recent and analagous ! one, being seizure of the North ■ Americaif Aviation plant at Ingle , wood, Cal., by President Roosevelt - six months before Pearl Harbor, l where on account of a strike, pro - duction was at a standstill. (The - then-attorney General Robert Jack c son justified the seizure as grow -1 ing out of the “duty constitutionally - and inherently resting upon the i- President to exert his civil and military as well as his moral au thority to keep the defense efforts -of the United States a going con - cern” as well as “to obtain sUr , plies for which Congress has appro i priated money and which it has dl t rected the President to obtain." a Mr. Jackson is now an associate a Justice of the Supreme Court. 1 .aM- Aft. ~t 1 , SOCIAL SECURITY PAY MENTS IN YANCEY Checks for insurance pay ments under Federal social security went to 174 aged per* sons, children and their wid owed mothers in Yancey coun ty for December 1961. In releasing these figures today, Glenn H. Pittenger, Manager of the Asheville Social Security Office, also said that these monthly pay ments under the old-age and - survivors insurance program amounted to $3,874.00 in this county. “Without these pay ments earned by workers un der this contributory system, the ability of many people to pay for necessities would have been drastically curtailed or entirely ended,” he said. More than one-third of all people over 65 in the United States who could not count on income from work for support, were getting social security insurance benefits. About 83 persons over age 65 in Yancey county were receiving these payments. Pittenger pointed out that this Federal program is af fording substanital survivor; insurance protection. Three 1 out of every four inothers and young children in the Nation are now assured of monthly payments if the insured bread- y winner of the family dies. j In this connection, he cited monthly payments totaling $1,603.00 to* 16 children, and 75 widowed mothers in Yan- y cey county. These monthly payments are going to fami lies deprived of earned income by the untimely death of the wage earner. They are making it possible to keep families to gether, and keep children in school, and, at the same time, lessening the drain on both public and private welfare funds, he said. 1 w.
