BARTELL U.S. autoworkers out of a job. In fact the Soviets have already started advertising their Lada, a small car simflai to American compacts. It- - seems ironic, but one U.S. auto maker that would be greatly affected by the importation of Soviet cars is the Ford Motor Company. It was Ford that provided most of the technology and technicians to build the Russian auto manufacturing facilities. Meanwhile, the Reds are pulling off another Great Grain Robbery . . . this time involving more than 15 million tons of wheat. The fact they havent paid for the last shipment (because Cond gress hasnt voted them WASHINGTON, D.C. (Liberty Lobby News Service) Liberty Lines earlier reported that the Soviet Union was Belarus tractors shipping here, thus eliminating many U.S. jobs and at the same time boosting the economy of the Soviet Union. It turns out Belarus tractor sales havent been as rosy as the. Reds would like. The Great Russian Tractor Deal is turning out to be less than a flood. Soviet engineers predicted they would sell at least 8,000 of the machines to American farmers. They managed to move only about 800 despite U.S. farmers voicing a desperate need for the tractors. Thousands of farmers are on one-yea- r waiting lists, but apparently theyre not desperate enough to buy the Belarus. The tractor shortage in this country typifies the curious federal planning pattern. Last year, manufacturers shipped more than 50,000 American tractors to other countries, leaving many farmers empty handed. The Reds, those astute students of capitalism, then got the U.S. to help them build a tractor plant at Minsk, with both money and technology. They most-favore- nation status) hasnt stopped Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger from approving the deal. Although it was denied at the time, following the last grain deal with the Reds, the price for wheat shot up to about $5 a bushel. Later, according to an Italian government official, the Soviet Union was selling our own wheat back to us at a profit of more than $4 a bushel. As the worlds greatest producer of food it would seem logical to barter our food surpluses for oil. Instead, we accept steadily increasing gasoline prices and then attempted to fill the tractor shortage in this country by peddling the Belarus.

SIGNIFICANT STAND- - The significance of Wallaces early antiabortion stand is that it indicates the Governor will seek to force other Democratic Presidential hopefuls to take stands on controversial issues in the coming primary' races. Noting that the abortion issue w'as one of hottest debated planks in the platform at the 1972 convention in Miami, aides of Wallace stress that by taking a firm stand oh that moral issue and others he hopes to project the image of being a strong and decisive leader. While Wallaces physical handicap is still the biggest question mark concerning his coming candidacy. veteran political observers here say it could easily become a big plus in the coming campaign. Their reasoning: The courage of Wallace undertaking such a backbreaking political effort could make him a symbol for millions as the leader ready to face any hardship or obstacle to get his message across to the American people. ' Another little discussed advantage that Wallace has over most of the other Democratic political hopefuls is that he can not be associated with any of the recent U.S. setbacks and failures in foreign and domestic policies. Nearly all recent surveys show that the average voter has had his confidence in national political leaders shaken by the loss of South Vietnam, high unemployment, and rising prices. These are a few reasons and developments why it will take a lot more than political attacks from Democrats to liberal and left-wisidetrack the increasing grassroots support for Wallace. Note.

The clement that makes the bond good, makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20 percent interest, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say, that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. Both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer and the other helps the people. It is the people who constitute the basis of the government credit. Why then cannot the people have the benefit of their own gilt-edcredit by receiving bonds? If the United States Government will adopt this policy of increasing its national wealth without contributing to the interest collector for the whole national debt is made up of interest charges then you will sec an era of progress and prosperity in this country such as never could have come otherwise. Omni Publications Bulletin ge 1.AW OF THE LAM) The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bea ri ng t he appeara nee of la w const it utes the law of the la nd . The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to he yalid. One must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows: The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law. is in reality no law. but is wholly void, and 'ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. .Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would he had the statute not been enacted. Such an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no otTice, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it... A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.
