.FESS AND ROGERS
PROPOSE BILLS TO
COVER EMERGENCY
WOULD PLACE POWER
IN SUPREME COURT
To Declare a President Inca,
pacitated In Case of Long
Illness

WASHINGTON. Feb. iS-President
Wilson's extended Illness and the at
tcndant discussion as to whether he vas
incapacitated for continuing his duties.
gave rise today to two proposals in the
house. TO clarity and supplement con-
sttutiopal provisions on the subjeet.
II was made clear. however. that
neither proposal was aimed at Presi-
dent Wilson. the intent being to define
Tn eprocedure for futur" emergencies
beyond any possibility Of misconstruc-
iI"n Of partisan action.
The frs: proposal was in the form or
resolution for a constitutional amend
mcnt. introduced by Representative
FcSs. Of Ohio. chairman Of the Repub-
lIcal congressional committee. propos-
ing To have the supreme court deter
mine tn" ability Of a president TO dis.
charge his duties. whenever authorized
hv = concurrent resolution of congress.
If romgr SIS was NOT sitting when the
emergency arose. the vice president
would BE- authorized TO call a special
session.
Unless tho constitution expressly
states that congress shall be the judge
"f the disability Of the executive" Mr..
l'rss said ''it is argued that IL can not
ally would this he true whore the two
departments might belong 20 different
POLITICAL parties.
Tho uncertainty Of the constitutions
~ HutStlnn would strongly argue IN"
wisdom # not the necessity Of an
amendment pointing tn" way out Of

Virtually the same procedure was out
lined in Il bill introduced hy Rcprcscn-
tativ" Rogers. Republican Of Massa-
chuSctt>. and referred io ;hc judiciary

The sam" tribunal would be authur-
