Presidential Authority Urged
On the other hand, Chairman
Murray (D-Mont) of the Senate
Labor Committee said the steel
case decision handed down here
yesterday by Judge David A. Pine
“makes it imperative Congress
grant the Presdient the seizure
power the court says he does not
now have." Murray added:
“Even if it takes a constitutional
amendment, the President must be
given the authority.”
The District Court ruling also
focused fresh attention on moves
in the House to start impeachment
proceedings against Truman.
Sen. Bridges of New Hampshire,
the senate Republican leader, Mid,
“I do not see how an objective
jurist could have ruled otherwise.
I feel Judge Pine should be con-
gratulated for his courage in rend-
ering such a sweeping decision so
promptly."
Blew Struck for Liberty
Sen. Willis Smith (D-NC), chair-
man of a Senate judiciary sub-
committee which is investigating
the legal aspects of the seizure
. order, said, “The derision is quite
understandable to me because I
had not been able to find any
warranty in law or in the pro-
visions of the Constitution that
could justify any such far-reaching
action by the President.’’
Rep. Bender (R-Ohio) said,
“Judge Pine has struck a major
blow for liberty. ... I hope that
Congress will not permit the drop-
ping of thia matter and will press
forward to assure the preservation
of our constitutional rights.”
The House Judiciary Committee
plans to vote tomorrow on what to
do about 10 resolutions before it,
some of them celling for censure
of the President and others for
impeachment. . "
