Lieutenant Laskell surfaced his one-man submarine fifty miles
off the Florida coast where he had been patrolling in search of
enemy subs. Darkness had fallen. He tuned his short wave set to the
Miami station just in time to hear the eight o'clock news. The grim
announcement that he had expected was quick to come:
"In accordance with the provisions of the Twenty-Sixth
Amendment, Congress today approved the Manlin Bill, declaring a
state of total emergency for the nation. President Williston signed
it immediately and tendered his resignation to the Congress and the
people. The executive, legislative, and judiciary are now in the
hands of the Department of Defense. Secretary Garson has issued two
decrees, one reminding all citizens that they are no longer free to
shirk their duties to the nation, the other calling upon the
leaders of the Eurasian Soviet to cease air attacks on the American
continent or suffer the consequences.
"In Secretary Garson's ultimatum to the enemy, he stated:
'Heretofore we have refrained from employing certain weapons of
warfare in the vain hope that you would recognize the futility of
further aggression and desist from it. You have not done so. You
have persisted in your blood-thirsty folly, despite this nation's
efforts to reach an agreement for armistice. Therefore I am forced
to command you, in the Name of Almighty God, to surrender
immediately or be destroyed. . . ."
