SENATOR
LENNON
☆REPORTS ☆
WASHINGTON. I have Seen
impressed! with the appeals from
vour letters both for and against
Senate Joint Resolution 1, com
monly referred to as the Bricker
Amendment. This is a very in
volved Constitutional matter. Since
coming: to the Senate last July 15,
I have discussed the proposed
amendment and read just about
everything available on the -ub
ject. 1 am sure many of you have
done the same thing. I haven't
felt like jumping up on the stump
and telling you that 1 know all the
answers about a thing so import
ant and complex. I am still study
ing it. At the time this is written,
the debate on the floor of the Sen

ate is hot and furious. As one
of my friends who was visiting the
gallery during the debate said,
“Alton, 1 don't see how a Phila
delphia lawyer could get all the
facts for and against a thing like
that in five years of study—es
pecially with 12t>7 pages of fine
print in the testimony before the
Judiciary Committee."
\MENDMENT
Senator Walter h George of
Georgia has offered a substitute
amendment. I,et me say that 1
consider him probably the most
outstanding member of the Sen
ate. He has been a member for
32 years. Chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee and is now
ranking minority member. He is
considered one of the most prom
inent Constitutional lawyers in the
country. Senator George’s sub
stitute amendment seems short
and simple enough. After he in
troduced his amendment, I asked
Senator George to brief me on his
thinking. He did, in detail, and
there were other Senatoi s who
joined me in listening to his ex
planation.
THE GEORGE SUBSTITUTE
What Senator George said, with
the earnestness and sincerity of
a scholar of the old school, 1 shall
never forget. He said that amend
ing the Constitution is serious
business, and that no surplus of
words should be used in a pro
posed amendment. He feels, and
I most certainly agree, that the
Constitution should be the su
preme law of the land and su
preme above everything, including
international agreements. H i s
amendment says that treaties or
agreements which conflict with the
Constitution shall not be legal and
that no intemaiona! agreement
other than a treaty shall become
effective as internal law in the
United States except by act of
Congress. Perhaps by the time
you read this, the issue will have
been settled and my vote recorded.
I favor the George substitute as
middle ground. Many of my col
leagues fear that to insist on the
Bricker amendment all the way
would result in a complete defeat
of all of the suggestions and the
George substitute seems to pro
vide, they say, the safeguards nec
essary. It would appeal that Sen
ator George has come to the fore
front to again prove himself the

great .statesman we all know him
to be. I feel confident that is the
reason President Eisenhower called
him to the White House recently
for his views. At the present
time, 1 hope and believe that the
majority of the Southern Senators
will favor the George substitute.
THIS-ANU-TH AT
Senator Hoey has been acclaim
ed for his leadership in helping to
work out in conference the final
cotton acreage increase bill .
He and 1 were over at the tele
vision studios the other day to
make our television film when we
ran into the Vice-President who
was just completing his program.
He was rushing around in order
to get back to open the Senate
session . . Speaking of television,
one of the Congressmen is reported
to have made a fluff for sure on
television when he got up and
proudly state. Hello, ladies and
gentlement, I’m giad to come into
your bedroom again.'' Of course,
what he meant to say was "living
room." ... I hope those of you
who have an opportunity will read
Ur. Harris' prayers at the opening
of the Senate each day. He is
pastor of Foundry Methodist
church here in Washington and is
Senate Chaplain . . . Senator Mon
roney of Oklahoma wants to con
vert a room in the Capitol into a
prayer room for all members of
Congress to use foi meditation. I
think he is to be highly compli
mented for this and it should be
done. . . .
Christian Creek
By Mrs. J. T. Dotson
We had the largest Sunday
school attendance we have had in
about two years last Sunday at
Christian Creek. All the class
rooms were almost filled and some
rooms had to get more seats to
seat the people. We are thankful
to the Lord when we see our
church growing in number as well
as in spiritual growth. We had
seven additions to the church also
last Sunday. We know that when
people are trying to stay in one
accord that others will come in and
join us. We are still working on
our classrooms as projects. The
work is going along very nicely.
We also plan to start a project of
new pews for the church very soon.
The Kev. Wesley Grant brought
a good message to us Saturday
night at the Swannanoa Mission.
One man was converted and many
hearts were uplifted. We are al
ready having to push a partition
back in order to make room for
the people. It seems that many are
turned away each Saturday night
because the mission is just too
small to hold them all. We ait1
praying that the Lord will con
tinue to bless our efforts there
and that many more souls will be
won to Christ. We feel that Christ
is coming very soon and we need,
as Christians, to warn the lost to
“flee from the wrath to come.”
Everyone is cordially invited to
attend our church services and
mission services each time we
meet. Each Saturday night at the
Mission at 7 o’clock. Each Sunday
morning and Sunday night and
Wednesday night Bible study at
the church. Pray that the Lord
will have his way in all these ser
vices.
The Rev. M. L. Kirstein will
preach at the Swannanoa Mission
Saturday night.

in a nutshell!
Today’s good telephone service will be even better
tomorrow thanks to the transistor, a tiny electrons marvd
that would fit in a nutshell.
The transistor — invented by Bell System scientist! —
can do the work of a vacuum tube used in telephone,
radio and television equipment and many other things a
vacuum tube can nut do. It is so small and light, yet to
strong and reliable, that it has been called the
“mighty midget".
A miracle, yes— but only one of many Bell System
advances along the road toward more and better telephone
service. I'o bring these new advances and to keep service
good and growing requires a fair profit on the mooey
invested in telephone equipment.
