was Sen. Barley with another
question.
Suppose the President becomes
iDsane?" he asked. Even if he
were tried by a lunacy court and
committed to an insane asylum,
there is no law that would hold
him to be disabled"
He said there ought to be a law.
Sen. Wherry said, what kind of
law? Sen. Barley said that ought
to be investigated.
Investigator" repeated Sen.
Wherry. This subject was in
vestigated by congress until it was
exhausted in 1856. We studied it
again in 1886. We're still studying
it,"
Sen. Richard B. Russell of Ca,
another of President Truman's
Democratic foes, said he meant to
cast no slurs, but he'd prefer the
President protein Of the Senate
any time to the Speaker of the
House as President. He said his
tory shows that Senators are just
as smart as representatives. He
made his motion formally and
this put the linen-suited protein
Arthur H. Vandenberg in some
thing of a spot.
Vandenberg walked off his plat

He said the issue was impersonal.

House ought to be President when

Damage May Be Extended

Now that the early Juror over the
enacted Taft-Hartley bill is over, many
are beginning to believe President Tru-
mans vicious but unsuccessful veto is
actually going to do more damage than
was first realized.
And it's harm in stirring up labor
and management in possible new con-
flict may not be as great as that which
may be suffered by the nations biparti-
san foreign policy.
AS Paul Mallon, Washington column
ist, pointed out last week, Mr.. Tru-
man is now running for reelection on
the unions ticket. He told labor, in
effect, that "Tm doing the best I can
for you" In doing this, he blasted a
deep chasm in the remaining spirit of
cooperation between the Republican con-
gress and the Democratic administra-
Non. The lines have been drawn for
1913. 1t is Congress VS.. the President
and Republican VS.. Democrat.
If this prevails on all issues, those
pertaining to foreign policy will be in
cluded. The spirit of unity that has
prevailed so far, especially as to the
attitude toward Russia, will suffer.
And SO will the country. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Truman sacrificed con-
siderable harmonyin flouting the COP
majority and conservative Democrats
as he adopted the labor line for 1919
Will this i'll feeling cool off or will the
party, remaining angry over his bitter
de%nunciation of realization of one of IFS
main campaign promises, now start
sniping at his foreign policies? It is
going to be interesting to watch the re-
suits. But the bad thing is that it NAV
bring real harm in the place-foreipn
pollcy-where unity is most essentia-
in maintaining a solid front necessary
in u relations with the remainder n
the world.
1t is to be hoped that the effects NJ

small church-related colleges may be one
of the solutions to their problems in
these days of emphasis on higher educa-
ton for the masses rather than for
small groups. Proponents of unification
of the three college have fine arguments
for economy and other benefits in the
consolidation of the University of North
Carolina, N. C. State college and Wom-
ans college into the Greater Univer-
sity several years ago.
Of course, students and alumni dis
like having the identity of their alma

means but the material results always
offset the damage to sentiment. Duke

the many decades it was known as
Trinity college it served a number small
in comparison with it's thousands today.
By having the courage to effect major
change, it is today one of the worlds
greatest universities.

RALEIGH, June o. Your re-
porter has had occasion during
the past few days to talk with
several men who have Ions and
distinguished records of service TO
the cause of public education in
North Carolina. Because the con-
versations were in the "off-rec-
ord" category, the names of the
c%onferees cannot be used, nor can
they be quored by name. This is
unfortunate, for their conclusions
would carry weight. Despite the
handicap and discount necessary
by reason of anonymity the ideas
advanced are deemed worthy OF
passing along.
COMMISSION-The talk started
about the recently appointed ed
ucation commission charged by
the recent general assembly with
