"They Are Not Dead .
Anzio . . . Iwo Jima . . . Con-cord
. . . Gettysburg . .. Verdun
. . . Inchon . . . Normandy.
These were meaningful words,
each in its-own time. How much
meaning do they retain?
How much gratitude and re-spect
-do the people of our coun-try,
our community, carry in
their hearts for the heroes who
died in all those places and in
many other war-torn corners of
the world?
They gave all they had—their
lives —,safeguarding the liberty
we priz. Theirs was the ultimate
in unselfishness. What they gave,
they gave for us, the living.
But we can do this for them:
We can strive to protect the
freedom they died for.
And tve can pay them homage
this Memorial Day with our pres-ence,
our thoughts and our pray-ers
at the service dedicated to
their memory.
"They are not dead' who live in
the hearts .they leave behind."
The memory in our hearts
should at least help to create a
true feeling of honest memorial
to our war dead, if only on one
day in May each year. We owe
them that.

Government Under Law
This nation has recently witnessed an appalling
defiance of the Constitutional process of law in these
United States. The defy was flung by the elected head
of a giant organization whose position, by virtue of
its influence, should call for the highest regard for
law and solemn respect for democratic ideals.
The threat, reported widely in the nation's press,
was intended to suspend a sword over the United
States Congress as a deterrent to passing constructive
labor legislation. The sword: A promise of a crippling
nationwide strike.
The man who reportedly issued the ultimatum
later denied it, although he was quoted by several well
qualified' news reporters.
It is not of the greatest importance that the man
is the leader of a labor union. The frightening thing
about it is that there exists an American citizen who
is in a position to even threaten to override our historic
concept of government under law.
The wise men who authored our Constitution were
careful to see that the power to make laws rested with
the duly elected representatives of all the people. By
the same token, we have come to a dangerous state if
any one man has the power to circumvent the Con-stitutional
operation of the government by imposing, or
• threatening, stress and hardship on the nation's people.
We believe the widely_ publicized incident has served
_ a good purpose. It obviously has awakened many
Americans.
Too often, we Americans take on a semblance of
somnolence. We seem to be asleep. During an extended
• period of national slumber, history will show, it is often
possible for one man, or group of men, to gather unto
themselves enough power to place themselves above
the government. They become the government. The
people are no longer represented.
It has happened in other countries.
, In this country, an alert and informed public can
preserve our treasured heritage of freedom. This new-est
incident should serve as a five-alarm awakener.
