PATCHING A WORKOUT FABRIC!

Washington dispatches yesterday included mention of action for early Congressional consideration Of legislation to alter the present line of succession to the Presidency of the United States, making the Speaker of the of Representatives next in order behind the Vice President.
 Advocates of the measure cite President Truman as expressing his belief Speaker the official whose selection, next to that of the President and Vice President most accurately be said to stem from the people themselves That statement is likely very true but so, the Speaker of the House is not elected by the people of the United States He is elected by the people of State only, then chosen by majority party members in the House to govern that entire body.
 Shifting the succession to the Presidency to the Speaker would to be only another stop-gap. It is surely be preferred to putting the entire Nation in the position Alaska is now-that of having as it's chief executive appointed official, welding immense authority people who have had no voice in his selection Such situation that would face the Nation now should some calamity put pre- mature period to the presidential tenure of Harry S. Truman,
 The line of succession as established would in that deplorable elevate to the Presidency the Secretary of State, member of the Cabinet chosen in that capacity by the President whom he would succeed In turn behind MT. Stettinius would come other Cabinet officials down the line far as Honest Harod' Ickes. The present set-up is, of course in need of prompt change, but is the Speaker of the House the best answer?
 More than dozen times in the comparatively brief history of the United States the office of Vice President has been vacant either through it's occu- pants moving up to the Nations highest post, or through his death in the vicepresidential office. Therefore the possibility that both the peoples choices may be taken from the governmental stage is not one to be passed by lightly.
 In emergency the Speaker could. no doubt, carry

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not cOmpep'
FRIDAY, JUNE 22

Jupiter rules strongly in the plan etary aspects for today but minor adverse influences are active. It is a fortunate date for launching i'm portant projects.
 HEART AND HOME
 Reactionary influences will be ap- parent in matters of manners and dress. Again modesty will become fashionable among women. Spirit ualizing influences will slowly over come materialiSm.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Aviation will be conspicious in it's effect upon transcontinental and international postwar agreements. In all defense plants it will dominate.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Wise thinking must prevail through the coming weeks when the high cost of victory will be empha- sized. The birth bangs of a new order of humanity will be severe.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Preponderance of masculine signs in the charts of foreign nations pre- sages great activity in constructive enterprises. In countries recently liberated there are omens read as presaging too great expectation of limitless aid from Uncle Sam.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of adventure or changes that should be lucky Women will be especially fortunate. Children born on this day will be decidedly individual and extremely sensitive. Many will have unusual talents.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
(Continued from Page One)

guson of Michigan likes to remind certain Army officers about is Canol-the fabulously expensive oil and refinery project the Army put up in Canada but never operated This was the pet project of Gen Brehon Somervell, head of Army Service Forces.
 Just before he left for Europe last month, Senator Ferguson bumped into General Somervell in Washington. The Senator winced d bit from the Generals handshake, and Somervell began to kid him about not being tough enough to stand the various shots in the arm which all travellers bound for Eur ope or the Pacific must take.
 How much blood did you lose, Senator?" Somervell asked.
 Hardly any" Ferguson replied And those shots really don't bother me too much. You see, they didn't give me very large shots They just put into my arm all the oil the Army's been able to get from Canol."

on the Presidential duties or for that matter, an appointive Cabinet officer should hardly be ques- toned. But, the term of either in the Nations most important post should be held to a minimum. man chosen by the whole people should be made available at the earliest possible moment
 The best solution so far advanced would call for Constitutional change in all likelihood; but the problem be solved is certainly of sufficient concern to justify going through the cumbersome process of amending the Constitution, to put into effect system whereby the loss of both elected President and President would be shortly followed by special election to executive team.
 Such a special election should only be required when than six months of the regular Presidential term would intervene before the next regular General Election date Preparing for such special election might toss a monkey wrench into the machinery Of our political partiesbut jolting them out of their routine might not result adversely Also six months or more in office could well be cheaply-bought tpof on the qualifications of the successful asprans who would be most likely candidates when the next General Election should be held.

SHAEF Vs. The Press
Washington POSt)

The confusion and tempest of accusation and counteraccusation which followed the premature release by the Associated Press of the story o the German surrender gave the world it's first real mixing of the serious hostility which has developed at Supreme Allied Headquarters between American news paper correspondents the one side and Army of- ficials the other. MT Kennedy of the Assoclated Press violated the pledge eXaced of him by the Army The pledge was that the of the surrender should not be released for publication pending an official order to that effect
 But it soon became evident that reprisas for MT. KennedyS offense would go beyond the actual oi- fender and would go even beyond the case itself. Three other correspondents of the Associated Press, subordinate to MT. Kennedy, were also suspended, although does not appear that these correspondents were themselves obligated by the pledge given by their chief that they even aware of it. Immediately after this four correspondents were suspended for having made unauthorized visit to Berlin. In this case at least there was question of violating any pledge The correspondents had been informed that they would not be taken to Berlin to make reports to damage there; they made no promise, however, about not going to Berlin on their own account if opportunity offered.
 The opportunity did present itself through the assistance of Red army officials who were described by the correspondents most cooperative and hos pitable" This raises the question of why the SHAEF thought it necessary to discourage to prohibit visits Berlin in the first place since the visits apparently in no way dlspleased the RuSSlans lne HkeheSI answer is that the public relations section at SHAEF had attempted to arrange for such visit through the usual bureaucratic channels and that the plan had begged down because of the inevitable bureaucratic complications and obfuscations.
 The main difficulty we suspect arises from the utter misconception of the nature and function of newspaper work and of correspondents responsibil- ty that exists generally amopg military men, The military tends to consider the correspondent as
 sort of publicity specialist in the service of the military unit to which he is accredited whereas the conscientious correspondent considers that his primary responsibility to his newspaper The enterprise and zeal for uncoverng news that newspapers encourage and reward their correspondents in fact the very qualities that the Army finds most reprehensible in them Thus we have the anomaly of group of correspondents deprived of further right to practice their profession in the European theatre, perhaps in any military theatre, for no better reason than that they attempting to practice it seriously

FRANK JAP PRISONERS

Increased study of Japanese war prisoners tends to confirm recent observations of Portland Oregonian Editor Palmer Hoyt that, after the war, we probably will have a greater chance to convert the Jap anese mind than the German.
 German prisoners have been mo- toriously tight dipped and unbend- ing. The western system of fight ing contemplates the possibility of being taken prisoner, so German troops were schooled in advance in what not to say and what their rights were under the Geneva Con- vention In addition, one German prisoner escaped from Canada early in the war and reportel back to Berlin all the devices used by the British to make him talk--such as putting German-speaking British dressed in German uniforms in the same barracks with him. So for about a year the British couldn't get any information out of German prisoners at all.
 However, Jap prisoners, on the few occasions they are captured,

| become most talkative. Their code does not contemplate being taken prisoner, so they are not taught i'll advance what to say. Nor are they protected by the Geneva Conven- ton.
 For instance, one Jap pilot picked up in the water, told an amusing story of how he was stationed on a small island in the Ryukyus when superseded by an officer of super for rank.

 Continuing, he told how he had been transferred from the island, anxious to get into combat and finally made his first combat flight in fighter plane.

 This frankness on the part of Jap prisoners is not unusual. Just as the Jap naval landing troops in terviewed by Palmer Hoyt wanted to become naturalized citizens of the U. s. A., so many Jap prisoners become quite cooperative once they understand they will not be tor tured, Only trouble is there are so few prisoners. Getting Japs to sur render remains one Of the biggest problems of the war.

Plan Would Pave Way
To Use Forced Labor

SAN FRANCISCO, May II (P).-
An American proposal to try or
CARNATIONS as well as individuals
for war crimes was interpreted to-
day as opening a legal road for the
use of forced labor in rebuilding
Europe.
The proposition was reported re-
ceiving favorable consideration from
representatives of Britain, Russia
and France assembled here for the
United Nations Conference. Pre-
sumably, it was taken back to Mos
cow by Soviet Foreign Commissar
v. M. Molotov.
Acting as the personal representa-
tive of President Truman, Judge
Samuel I. Rosenman worked with
Secretary of State Stettinius in dis
cussing the program with foreign
ministers and their aides.
Such an arrangement would give
court backing to use of Germans to
rebuild what they had destroyed.
President Roosevelt, Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Premier Stain
agreed at Yalta to exact reparations
In kind from the Germans. These
may include the use of forced Nazi
labor. a. wea a. the dismantling and

would not hamper the work of the

He said, "On the contrary, the con-

AS we parted Mr.. Molotov re-
marked as final shot, Give my
warm greetings to the people and
the press-I mean, of course, the
democratic press"
Because it is my good fortune to
be able to speak Russian, 1 had the
luck to obtain an intimate personal
interview with Mr.. Molotov.
Now that the White Russians
and the Ukrainians are represented
at the conference" he said, 81 am
more than ever certain it will be
successful.

The adoption of this procedure
would, for example, permit the

If the organization itself were

would be to determine whether an
