Law Day, 1959
By WALTER H. HODGE, U. S. Dislrici Judge
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER HAS PROCLAIMED
Friday, May 1, as Law Day. The program is
sponsored by the American Bar Association and the
American Heritage Foundation. The purpose of Law
Day is to focus attention upon respect for law and
order as the cornerstone of our American heritage and
to develop a better understanding of the work of our
courts and of law enforcement officers, both upon adult
and juvenile levels.
Law is as old as history. Our government is
founded upon the rule of law, as distinguished from
the rule of might. Just as sports and athletics require
observance of the rules of the game, so does life itself
require strict observance of the laws of the nation,
state and community in which we live; for laws are
the rules by which the game of life is played. The
continuation and strengthening of respect for law and
order, and the manner in which justice is administered,
becomes for us not only a matter of moral and legal
obligation, but also a matter of survival, for without
such the great State of Alaska cannot long endure.
Law Day U.S.A. should be a day to rededicate our
selves, as citizens, to our rights and responsibilities
under the law — to the end that everyone, young and
old alike, whether he be judge, officer, merchant,
teacher, student, or whatever calling, may contribute
toward maintenance of law and order as a vital prin
ciple of human freedom and the only hope of peace
throughout the world.

The Alaska Day Festival Com
mittee of Sitka has announced
that on July 4th, the first forty

U. S. C. of C. ‘Sees the
Light’ In Changing Policy,
Protecting Domestic Trade
WASHINGTON, UP)—'The United
States Chamber of Commerce was
in partial retreat yesterday from
its policy of advocating a lower
ing of international trade barriers.
At the windup of the Chamber’s
47th annual meeting Wednesday
delegates eliminated long-standing
policy declarations calling for re
peal of the “buy American” laws
and urging business and govern
ment to encourage increased im
ports into the United States.
The deletions did not alter the
Chamber’s positions in support of
the trade agreements program.
The businessmen affirmed anew
the policy of “selective adjustment
of tariffs and the orderly and
gradual reduction of other bar
riers to world trade.”
Some local chambers and affli
iated trade associations had pro
tested that many domestic indus
tries need more protection from
the competition of low-wage for
eign producers.
* Erwin D. Canham, editor of the
Christian Science Monitor, Boston,
took office as the Chamber’s new
president at the closing dinner of
the convention Wednesday night.
He succeeds William A. McDon
nell, board chairman of the First
National Bank, St. Louis.

Close Vote Upholds
Congress’ Record
Of Sustaining Veto
WASHINGTON, UR — The
House Thursday upheld President
Eisenhower’s veto of a rural elec
trification bilk
The vote was 280-146 in favor of
passing the bill over the Presi
dent’s veto. This was four short
of the two-thirds necessary to
override. It killed the bill.
The President vetoed the bill
last Monday and the Senate over
rode the vote Tuesday by a vote
of 64-29.
The House decision kept intact
Eisenhower’s "record of never
having had a veto overridden.
Eisenhower promptly issued this
statement:
“I am deeply gratified by the
vote this morning in the House
of Representatives sustaining the
veto.”
This bill was the 138th vetoed
by the President since he took
office early in 1953.
The bill would have stripped
from Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Taft Benson his power to veto
loans to cooperatives for rural
electric and telephone service.
* Four Democrats joined 142 Re
publicans in upholding the Presi
dent. Six Republicans and 274
Democrats voted to override.
Both sides recognized before the
House vote that it looked like a
toss-up as to which would win.
