Der Of divergent opinions have been
advanced Informally.
In some quarters It is held that the
decision could be properly made by
the cabinet because 1t would be in a
position to judge If the eunctioning Of
a chief executive really were neces-
sary in the public interest.
In the opinion of others. it would
require a resolution Of Congress to
make valid q transfer Of executive

formally, the question is thrown into
Congress just as It is in the case &

that he still had long road to travel

Although in keeping with the pro-
gram of rest originally planned for
Mr.. Wilson by Dr., Grayson. the ply

to officials the possible effect Of the
Presidents illness on public affairs
and renewed discussion as to what
expedient might be adopted should
the press of executive business reach
point demanding more attention
than he could give It. The DISPOSE

the Presidents disability to act un-
