Our Constitution’s Birthday “If men were angels, no government would be necessary,” James Madison once pointed out. But Madison and the political leaders of his generation were practical men, and so it happened that on September 17, 1787, he and 38 other state representatives put their signatures to the Constitution of the United States of America. The ceremony climaxed some four months ~ 7 ~ of work, mostly unauthorized, for the delegates to the Philadelphia convention had been empowered only to revise the Articles of Confederation. In fact, Patrick Henry, who opposed a stronger nation government, had refused to attend the conven- , tion because, as he later put it, “I smelt a rat.” Under these circumstances, and to ensure that each delegate would have the fullest freedom of speech during the debates, the convention ruled that its proceedings would be kept absolutely secret. Sentries were posted at the doors to the meeting hall. The anxious delegates even appointed one of their number to accompany the 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin to his sociable dinners, to make sure he did not let slip any mention of the debates during a friendly conver-—-aation. It wasn’t until 1819, when the first journal of the convention was printed, that the American public learned of the proceedings. Nevertheless, gossip was rampant and, at one point during that summer, reports circulated of wide disagreement among the delegates. Apparently the convention members decided on counterpropaganda, for one newspaper reported, “So great is the unanimity, we hear, that prevails in the Convention . that it has been proposed to call the room in which they assemble — Unanimity Hall.” When September 17 arrived, however, and the committee on style presented the finished document to the convention, three delegates refused to sign. To conceal this fact, a note added to the document read: “Done in Convention, by the unanimous consent of *the States’ present . . . The Constitution was hotly debated when it was submitted to the states for ratification, and even those who had signed it had their doubts. Ben Franklin probably summed up the .-feelings of the 39 signers . . . . and of all those who have since admired the Constitution . . . when he said, “I consent, sir, to this Constitution, because I expect no better, and because L am not sure that it is not the best.” ' _ Yes, today our Constitution’s 176 years old. It has been amended just 23 times in that period. You hear much talk about the Constitution these days, but little about the United States government, the government we should all love and respect, the government for which have fought and served — our government. The Constitution protects your rights and my rights — but only if WE respect IT. We must remember that everyone else under our Constitution is protected, too, and we must respect them as fellow citizens, whether we like them, whether we go to church with, or whether they are the same shade of color that we are. If the rights of one group of citizens can be withheld, so can your rights be withheld — and don’t forget it for a minute!

Dodgers Beat Cardinals In Series Opener By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor ST. LOUIS (UPI) — It’s beginning to look like the elated Los Angeles Dodgers won’t have to wait until next year because they won “the big one” despite a boner that rarely even is seen on the sandlots. They not only survived that “rock” Monday night, but increased their shriveled National League lead to two games by snapping the St. Louis Cardinals’ 10-game winning streak with a 3-1 victory. .. The setback for the Cardinals was only their second in 21 games, and even ultra-conserva-tive Walt Alston conceded “things look a little better.” "One game better, anyway,” he hedged, smilingly. It was the first time the Dodger manager had smiled in days and he had ample reason after southpaw Johnny Podres and Ron Perranoski collaborated in a three-hitter. Podres, who pitched perfect ball fq£ 5-1-3 innings and was credited" with his 14th victory, was the hero beyond any doubt in the victory, and his batterymate, catcher John Roseboro, nearly wound up the goat. Connects For Triple Roseboro, whose three passed balls figured prominently in a 6-1 loss by the Dodges at the hands of the Phillies last Sunday, connected for what appeared to be a triple off Cardinal starter Ernie Broglio in the *second inning. Roseboro’s blow hit the right field screen and barely missed being a home run. The Dodger catcher made it all the way to third and was dusting himself off when four Cardinal pitchers, sitting in the St. Louis dugout, frantically began waving to Broglio, urging him to throw, the ball to second base. Shortstop Dick Groat, didn’t know what it was all about either but he finally took Broglio’s throw and tagged second. , The Cards then appealed to the umpires, insisting that Roseboro had neglected to touch second. First base um p ire Ed Sudol agreed and declared the Dodger catcher out. After the game, Roseboro admitted he hadn’t touched second. Musial Hits Homer Tommy Davis singled home the first run of the game in the sixth inning, and Stan (The Man) Musial tied the score in the seventh with his 12th homer of the season and 475th of his career. Musial’s wallop stirred the capacity crowd of 32,442. at Busch Stadium into a near frenzy, but hopes for a Cardinal victory were short-lived because the Dodgers cracked through with two runs in the ninth. Little Bobby Shantz took over the pitching for the Cards in the ninth after Broglio had yielded for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Ron Fairly hit 8 Shantz’ second pitch off the right field screen for a double and after Roseboro struck out, Willie Davis singled to score Fairly with the winning run. The Dodgers added an insurance run when second baseman Julian Javier threw wildly to second on a double play ball hit by Moose Skowron, pinch hitting for Podres. Still Hopeful “I’m not at all pessimistic because we lost the first game,” said Cardinal manager Johnny Keane. “The defeat isn’t fatal to our pennant hopes. We still have our ,two .big' men to throw at them.” He meant southpaw Curt Simmons, who’ll be shooting for his 16th victory and fourth straight shutout tonight, and Bob Gibson, who will pitch Wednesday night. Sandy Koufax goes for the Dodgers tonight and Pete Richert Wednesday night. Only two other games were played in the majors Monday night, with the Giants beating the Braves, 4-3, and the Pirates downing the Cubs, 1-0. Juan Marichal scored his 23rd victory for the Giants in handing the Braves their seventh straight loss with a six-hit effort. Orlando Cepeda’s 31st homer off loser Tony Cloninger in the fith proved to be the winning run gjter Denis Menke hit a three-run homer in the second. Bob Veale hurled a two-hitter for the Pirates and out-dueled Larry Jackson of the Cubs when Billy Mazeroski’s ninth - Inning single broke up a scoreless game. Jobless Pay Claims Decrease In Area The Fort Wayne office of the Indiana employment security division reported today that there were 40 cla'ims for unemployment compensation during the week ending September 14. Four of these were ’ new claims and the other 36 were continued claims Last week th'erc were 58 claims — three new and 55 continued One year ago there were also 58 claims.
