Churchill S Trip

LOND ON, April Ia tUP)-
Prime Ministe. Churchill was torn
today between mourning the death
President Roosevelt and a
mounting feeling that the formal
end of the war in Europe might
come al any time.
Wilson Broadbent. the Daily
Mails diplomatic correspondent,
said the news of Mr.. Roosevelt S
death apparently was one OF the
greatest shocks Churchill ever
suffered. The secretary who broke
the news withdrew for five min
utes. He returned TO find Church
ills eyes wet. a half-smoked cigar
cast aside, and dispatches scat
tered open before him.
Churchill ordered arrangements
made for flight To America.
Broadbent said. A plane was or
dcred. When Churchih awoke in
the morning he still intended to
fly 10 the United States. But
within a few hours urgent dis
patches from the front reached
him, Broadbent said. He Cancelled
the plans for the trip because he
decided that important decisions
might be required OF him at any
moment.

PRUDENT AND HONEST

Prudent, cautious and thorough
by nature, President Truman
made a remarkable success of the
investigation he conducted for the
Senate. and was adamant and un-
moved by any outside conSldera-
lions in making public the findings
times shocked the nation by the
unsatisfactory conditions revealed.
but the public response was favor
able and the committee won re-
spcct and support both in and out
OF Congress.
President Truman will proceed
with his customary prudence and
caution in the reorganization of
the government administration
which official Washington re-
garded today as inevitable.
The changes will come slowly
n II is the understanding that Secre-
tary of War Stmson and Secre-
tary OF the Navy Forrestal will
both remain in their present posts
until the end OF the war.
CABINET MAY CHANGE
The tenure Of other members of
the cabinet is less certain. IL is
always the custom of vice presi-
dents succeeding 10 the presidency
to ask the members of the cabinet
of the preceding administration TO
remain. but this is formality.
Past experience shows that such
changes in the White House as the
one that has Just occurred invari-
ably result in the eventual re-
shaping of the cabinet.
II is probable that when and II
changes are made in the cabinet,
two of tho closest friends of the
President had in his decade in the
Senate can Join the new official
family if they desire TO do so.
One of these is former Senator
James r ByrneS Of South Caro-
lima. who already is IN Washington
in a personal advisory capacity.
BYRNEs WANTS COURT
Byrnes Is understood not 10 de-
sire a cabinet post. but 10 prefer
90 return 10 the Supreme Court,
from which he resigned 10 take

Prof. ShuH Explains
President Succession

Here are the answers TO some
Of the questions people are asking
concerning the order of succession
10 the office of President of the
United States.
Authority is Charles w. Shull
associate professor OF government
at Wayne University.
@. What is the order OF sue
cession to the office of President ?
4. Under the Presidential
Succession Act of 1886, this is
the order: Vice president, sec
retary of state, secretary of the
treasury, secretary Of war, at
tOrney general, postmaster gem
eraI, secretary of the navy and
secretary of the interior.
II Is assumed that, as the Of
fees of secretary of agriculture,
secretary of commerce and sec
rctary of labor were created,
they followed in the order OF
succession.
ORDER CHANGED
O. Have We always had the
same order of succession? ?
a. No. The first presidential
succession act of 1892 provided
for this order; Vice president,
president pro tempore of the
Senate and speaker OF the House
of Representatives.
g. With Mr.. Truman now pres
ident. will there be an election oi
a vice president?
A-COngress can name the
President under certain cir
cumstances. IL the electoral
college should fail 10 give any
candidate n majority, the House
Of Representatives, each state
-dricgatiUn, voting aS unit and
casting one vote, can select the
President from among the three
who received the most votes in
ttlt tltNNOIdl NuilVSNs
HAYES CHOSEN
In the Hayes cam
paign, Hayes was chosen preSi-
dent by an electoral commission
made up of members of the
House, Senate and Supreme
Court bench after the validity
Of the votes of several state
units in the electoral college
was contested. The vice presi-
dent in that case would be
chosen by the Senate.
@. Suppose. in some great
catastrophe, tho president, vice
and all cabinet men,
Ders were killed, what would

would pass another succession
act.
CAN CONVENE ITSELF
O In the event Congress were
not in session then, who calls IL
10 convene >
\. would say the members
would get together themselves
or the clerk of the House Of
Representatives and the secre-
tary of the Senate probably
would convene the two bodies.
@. Can Congress elect a preSi-
dent7
A. No. Congress merely de-
termines the order of success
sion. Only an "Officer" Of the
United States may succeed.
@. Should the powers and du-
ties OF the office of president de-
Volve upon the secretary of state
or any other cabinet officer, does
he become president?
a. The Constitution states
that that officer shall then ACT

Detroit evening times., 1945-04-15

@. DO cabinet members move
up in line if the secretary of state
becomes president?
A. No.
@. Have we, at any time since
the formation of the government,
been without a president?
A. Actually, no. But a presi-
dent may act until he has
taken the oath of office.
@. Who takes Mr., Truman's
place as president of the senate 3?
The president pro tempore at
an increase In salary of $4,000
a year. The president pro tenn
pore is chosen by vote of the
the Senate members at the first
meeting of each Congress and
serves In the normal absence of
the vice president.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-15
? CLEVELAND TERMS

@. Is Mr.. Truman the 32d oil
the SD president? ?
4. He Is the 32d individual To
hold the office, although some
people think he is the 33d presi-
dent. President Cleveland was
president for two terms hut
they were not successive. The
term of President Harrison in
tervened between Cleveland'S
first and second terms.
@. Is it possible for presi-
dent to appoint his own success
sor?
A. Yes. II there were no
vice president, the president
could dismiss the secretary of
state, appoint new one and
then himself resign from office.
In that event the secretary of
state whom the president had
appointed, under the Presiden-
tial Succession Act, would then
become president. II Is legal
and practically possible.

Very Peculiar, indeed

Oil is admittedly the backbone of the nations war
effort. No one contradicts that
Hence it seems peculiar indeed that industry dur
ing the present conflict has been treated has the oil
industry.
Most industries making materials for war have done
quite WELL thank you the basis of cosplus contracts
The small producer continues to be denied fair price
crude and is forced to work on a cost-minus basis
And with the refusal of federal agencies to allow
proper price for crude have been coupled the activities
other federal agencies png added costs and tape upon
the industry
Now comes the last straw-a federal court tax edct
that many operators say will force them into bankruptcy
True the internal revenue bureau says doesn't intend
enforce the rule-but adds with sinister emphass-"AT
THIS TIME! What the industry thinks of this delayed
action threat is evidenced by actions of the major oil
panes in announcing wholesale cancellations of drilling
