Senator Fulbright, Democrat, ol

he didn't like the idea Of the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of State
riding in the same plane or the
same ship.
They may do just that for the
impending Big Three meeting. At
present the Secretary OF State is
next in line for the presidency.
Senator Fulbright's observation
was prompted by q discussion on
the floor about the presidential suc-
cession bill which passed the House
Friday. That measure would ele-
vate the Speaker of the House and

of the Senate to the White House
in case neither the Chief Executive
