Truman Sill Fayors
Designating Speaker
AS First Successor
81 ma 4 osiossd pf,s,

Even though II could mean Re-
publican Chief Executive within the
next two years, President Truman i
said today still to favor designating
the Speaker Of the House next Ia the
presidential succession line.
Such q change, urgently requested
BY Mr.. Truman In q message to Con-
gress two months after he took ONCE
ins l945, quickly passed the House,
but died In Senate committee.
It would have put Democratic
Speaker Rayburn of Texas at the
top Of the succession list instead 81

Stetttnius, jr.. who shortly was re-
placed by James F. Byrnes.
Martin Slated for Post.
Republican Representative Martin
OF Massachusetts, Is slated to succeed
Mr.. Rayburn when the Eightieth
Congress convenes In January.
Even before the election clinched
the evident trend, COP leaders be-
gan to talk Of reviying the measure
as soon as they took over control of
the lawmaking machinery. These
were bitter words for many Demo-
Gratis.
However, the men who counsel
with Mr.. Truman said today the
change in party lineups win not alter
his stand on the legislation.
If 1t was q good law In June
(l945), it's good law In January
one presidential intimate told Q re-
porter. I'VE haven't had any con-
ferences yet on future legislative
proposals. but the President isn't
likely to change front on q matter Of
basic policy like that"
The measure would rearrange the
line OF presidential succession, for
the first time since 1886. Under 1t,
the Speaker, instead Of the Secre-
tary OF State. would follow the
President and Vice President In or
der Of White House eligibility.
Elective Successor Urged.
II there were no Speaker at. the
time OF vacancy, the ONCE would
pass temporarily to the president
pro tenn Of the Senate, to serve only
until q speaker could qualify.
Mr.. Truman FIRST advocated such
legislation as he began preparing

tive had power to nominate his Inn

his own inability to act.
"Inso far as possible" he added,
"the ONCE Of the president should
be nIled by an elective ofacer.o
Shortly after the House passed
the succession bill, however, Mr..

eve are rich country-rich in
lust every kind of food. And
there should be enough for all
of us to 60 on eating we'll, and
still do our food share for others.
"But if we should have to 60
back to some sort of food ration
ing, I know the American people
would accept that"
Bowles thus echoed views ex-
pressed by President Truman.
The chief executive told his news
conference this week that he
didn't believe rationing could be
reinstituted fast enough to do
any good this time.
Would Not Hesitate
But he added that he would
not hesitate to order it if there
should be disastrous crop failures.
Aides of Bowles as well as OPA
and Agriculture Department Of
ficials said that thus far there
has been no actual planning of
any rationing program, nor any
discussion whether preparations
should be made for printing ra-
ton books.
Except for rationing, Bowles
did not elaborate on what tougher
measures might have to be taken.
However, Government officials
who withheld use of their names
said these might include the re-
QUESTIONING of grain for ship
ment abroad, cut in hog price
ceilings to discourage feeding to
heavier weights, and efforts to
tighten up voluntary food con-
servation.
