POSSIBLE SOLUTION

When President Truman took stand against an appointive officials succeeding him in case of death or disability he pointed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives as the logical heir apparent "a view eagerly taken up by the House in a bill sub stituting the Speaker for the Secretary of State at the top of the Presidential succession list.
 In the Senate that bill hit a snag chiefly because the Speaker was placed above the Senates President Pro Tempore An alternative meriting study is Rep resentaive Monroneys plan to leave both the Speaker and President Pro Tempore undisturbed and provide for two Vice-Presidents
 There are disadvantages to promotion of the pre- siding officer either House the Senate. In of disability the part of the President his potential successor should be free to temporarily in the White House The Speaker, for example, could scarcely do that without giving position attained through many years of public service in Congress.
 The constitutional amendment that Congressman Monroney has in draft calls for first Vice President who would function sort of administrative assist ant to the Chief Executive and President who would preside the Senate In case of death of the President or the President the second role so as to become familiar with the duties and policy of the President whom he might succeed
 Notable possibilities of the Monroney plan that at one stroke it would eliminate nearly all danger of having President not elected by the people and insure the succession of experienced official within the executive branch in of unexpected White House vacancy Some fears have been expressed that the President and the proposed first Vice-Presdent might not work together tremendously But this diff ficulty could be diminished at last in the nominating conventions by choosing compatible personalities for top positions the ticket Then too the present tendency let geographical considerations dictate the

Comparative Safety

 It is entirely possible that may be found, through careful study for the government to do mere than it is doing to promote the safety of com mercal aviation in the United States But this is something else again from veritable witch hunt which some legislators have proposed in the wake of the headlines dealing with recent air mishaps
 There have been quite number of rather dram atic airplane crashes in recent months and consider ing the fact that they reported a world wide basis the totals of casualties apt to be impressive Judged by the ideal, there are too many accidents involving far too much loss of life But this does not necessarily that the commercial air lines not doing all that is practically possible at the momant to keep such hazards to a minimum It does not mean that the fatalities diSproportonae to the passenger miles flown and the risks involved r private and military flying this tinent and elsewhere.
 The typical air line today boasts a pretty good safety record. Some of them fortunate enough to have achieved virtually perfect safety records And considering the law of averages, the risks by the average passenger is much much smaller than might be inferred from the headlines about the occasional crashes The volume of air traffic has increased tre in recent years and it is not remarkable that the frequency of mshap has increased somewhat too The railways of the nation, with their ncompar able record for passenger safety still have their casonal catastrophe None of these commercial modes of travel, however, are anything like dangerous vehicuar traffic. Even granting that the volume of automotive movement is much greater, there's looking the fact that some 10000 people killed annually in the nation in and by automobiles.

friends than he had ever dreamed. All sorts of people, many with scarcely a nodding acquaintance, bobbed up with invitations to din- ners and cocktail parties. Yet, fi- guring it was a part of the new diplomatic game, Max went through with it.
 At one of these parties, sven by Mrs. George Mesta, Washington most lorgnetted cave-dwellers were present-most of them strangers to Max. It was a social set that would almost rather dine at the British Embassy than with the President of the United States-especially with the Democrats in power The speeches were more flowery than ever. Ornate compliments were heaped on MaX's head. EX-Senator Ashurst of Arizona even called the roll of U. s. Ambassadors who had become Presidents of the United States.s Max Gardner, he implied, would be one of them.
 Finally, the new envoy rose. And in very simple language he told the story Of his first trip to England on a cattle boat. Falling back on his amazing memory, he quoted Little Breeches,' the poem of an earlier Ambassador to London, John Hay, which concludes.
 :. saving a little child
 And fetching him to his own,
 Is a alarmed sight better business
 Than loafing around the throne.
 And even that starchy audience applauded the inference that as new Ambassador to the Court of St James, he was going to mix with the common people, not loaf around the throne.
 That was Max Gardner who always enjoyed sitting on his front porch in a rocking chair given him by the Negroes of Shelby. and who now sets sail for a great new Des- tination where he can sit and rock and loaf around Gods throne" COPYRIGHT, l94i, BELL SYNDICATE INc)

LoOphole in the Law
Washington Pcst)


 In the course of it's report Senator Bilbos transactions with war contractors, the Senate War Investigating Committee called to the attention of the Senate what it characterized "an important Cophole in the law respecting such transactions The law referred to is Title Is, Section 61m-1. of the United States Code and designed to minimize of corruption in politics It provides $5O0O fine five years imprisonment for any "perscn firm entering into any contract with the United States any department agency thereof :" who makes "any contribution of money any other thing of value to any political party committee, candidate for public office any person for any political purposes use And it is equally explicit in declaring nor shall any person knowingly solicit any such contribution from any such person firm for any such purpose"
 Unhappily, however, it says nothing about accept ing such contribution in the absence of solicitation This especially serious since solicitation is peculiar ly difficult to prove. Yet the acceptance of what amounts to brihe is as improper and as corrupt politically Inc offering If it It is scarcely to be doubted a8t Congress meant to penaza them equally The carelessness the drafting If the tatute ught to be corrected just possible.

GARDNER's BUSINESS CAREER

I was Scoopei on ms appo-nt- ment. Max had asked my advice about taking the plunge into dip.o- macy-a new field for him. This tied my hands regarding any pub lie comment My advice, I'm sure, made little difference, but I felt that our relations with Great Bri- tain never were more important, and that now more than ever we nc eded in London a blunt-speaking bona fide American, not social whlrler, to interpret the people of the USA to the people of Great Britain.
 "A few weeks earlier, Max had scld his North Carolina rayon mill He had built it years before, when rayon was new and had a highly hazardous future; so in many ways he hated to part with it. But his son, who had managed the mill, was dead. With his passing some thing went out of Max'S life and finally he sold out.
 T remember the day Max depos- tied the check in the bank With .ome pride he showed me the de- posit slip-in seven figures.
 You're looking at a real live millionaire he said whimsically 'Anr I've no idea what to do with the money
 Yet in making money Max had never deserted his creed that il pays dividends to look out for the other fellow His mill was the first in the south to adopt the minimum wage; and last year while northern labor leaders were battling with U $. Steel and General Motors fol wage increases. Max voluntarily in- creased wages in his mill. He hac found it always paid him dividends
