Columbue, Ga. — The Marine
Corps Recruiting Office announced
today that the 15,000-man increase
previously authorized by the Presi
dent in the strength of the Marine
Corps has resulted in a need for
additional Marines to be recruited
in this area immediately.
Sgt. H. F. Killingsworth of the
Marine Corps Recruiting Sub-Sta
tion, Columbus, stressed that this
increase will mean that previous
ly well-qualified applicants that
could not be accepted under for

Applicants for enlistment in the
Regular Marine Corps must be be

duration.
The upping of the Marine Corps
strength by 15,000 was announced
earlier by President Kennedy as
one of his first measures to build
up America’s Armed Forces. This
increase was considered to be a
recognition of the President’s con
cern for our limited-war capabili
ties.

THE FACT THAT the so-
called “liberals” come back ses
sion after session with their
schemes to stifle freedom of de
bate in the Senate is proof that
their purpose far transcends a
mere revision of Senate rules.
They maintain that the Senate
must be put under a gag rule to
make possible
the passage of
force legisla
tion in the
field of civil
rights. That
contention will
not stand up
because the
Senate has
rammed through two such force
bills since 1957—one under a
rule more stringent than the
present formula for shutting off
debate. They also contend that
unlimited debate in the Senate
must go because it imperils de
mocracy and thwarts the wishes
of the majority. That argument
ignores the historical truth that
the very purpose ^of free debate
in the Senate is to provide a re
straint upon the abuses of un
bridled majority rule and, even
more important, to protect the
rights of the nation’s minorities.
* * *
THE ISSUE HAS ramifica
tions which go to the very heart
of our form of government and
was characterized by the Satur
day Evening Post as one of
“whether or not a majority in
Congress shall be able to force
into law proposals which are not
accepted as valid by a consider
able number of states.”
In reality it must be recog
nized as part of the continuing
attack which seeks to centralize
more and more power in Wash
ington and to make big govern
ment bigger and less responsive
to the will of the people. It
would promote that end by de
stroying the Senate as an unique
institution of government de
signed by the founding fathers
as the repository of state sover
eignty on the national level.
Further weakening of the Sen
ate rule governing limitation of
debate would be a signal for fur
ther assaults on the seniority
system and other Senate safe
guards which have given stabil
ity and responsibility to tha
Senate. The shape of things
which would be sure to come
were seen earlier this year in
the threats which were made
against committee chairmen in
the Senate who were in honest
disagreement with portions of
the platform on which the pres
ent National Administration was'
elected.
* * *
THE SENATE IS being sub
jected to a subtle erosion which,,
if allowed to continue unchecked,
will undermine it as the key
stone institution of our republi
can form of government and
turn it into a parliamentary
wasteland in which all opposi
tion will be trampled and gagged
by impatient and arrogant ma
jorities of one.
Americans concerned about-
the future should hope and pray
that further debate on this issue
will awaken the Senate to the
urgent necessity of giving at
least as much attention to put
ting an end te the erosion of
constitutional government as it
already has given to programs
to prevent and combat the ero
sion of our soil.
