A wag at the press table in,

at least for a few months. He
did not explain beyond that,
for we all had been watching
the Senate, where there GER
tainly was no honeymoon
spirtt-and President Eisen-
hover hardly knew his way
around the White House yet.
1t was as If Harry Truman
still were in the big house a

The only question that could
arise is over the legality of any
steps taken If there is an un-
avoidable delay in taking the
oath. Some day q new Presi-
dent might become involved in
a lawsuit in which it might be
argued that certain powers ex-'
ercised at a given moment in
his behalf by some subordinate
department or agency were not
valid because there was no
President in Office at the time.
Congress has never taken
care Of this contingency, but
1t has the power nevertheless
under the Constitution to pro-
vide for the handling Of any
and all vacancies. Thus. the
Goth amendment says:
'The Congress may by law
provide for the case wherein
neither q Preside dent-eiect nor q
Vice President -elect shall have
qualified. declaring who shall
then act as President. or the
manner in which one who is to
act shall be selected, and such
person shall act accordingly
until q President or Vice Presi-
dent shall have qualified"
Hence. Congress may also
provide for the legalization of
any acts by agencies or de-
partments Of the Government
taken IN the name of the Pres
ident between the time of the
expiration Of a presidential
term and the completion of
the qualifying process for a
successor 1t is a gap that
probably ought to be filled for
legal reasons. because there
may come a time when a
President may have net with
an accident and be temporarily
unable to take the oath, or
there may be some other un-
avoidable delay. The Consti-
tuition gives Congress power to
meet all these contingencies,
but adequate laws fulfilling the
constitutional purpose have
never been passed.
Congress, when sessions
were due to expire at noon
on March 4, used to face the
problem OF cleaning up un-
finished business by simply
turning the clock back, with
the consent of the majority in
either house, but that's a de-
ception too often countenanced
in legislative halls. It's better
to provide by law for latitude
in the time of presidential
oath taking.

out that this gives Americans
the standard of living and
the leisure time necessary to
enjoy the finer things in life.
The British system of heavier
emphasis on academic educa-
tion, according to the report,
turns out graduates ready to
enjoy the finer things, but
not trained to take part in
the modern technical society
necessary to support the happy
life.
The Fields
. Industry. About 27.4 per
cent of the working popula-
ton is in industry. Some in
dustrial jobs require no train
ing, but most do. Only a few
large corporations can afford
extensive training programs of
their own. Without an inflow
Of talent from the public
schools, industry would have to
slow down while it either de-
voted its own time to train
ing or cut out many positions
requiring technical skillS.
. Agriculture. Depending on
the season, roughly II per cent
of the labor force is in agri-
culture. Farm production has
gone up in recent years, while
farm population has gone
down. The more effective
farming stems to a large ex-
tent from the skilled farmers
who have taken agricultural
courses in vocational schools
or who have been helped by
trained persons.

24.3 per cent of the Nations
workers are in some form of

outside the labor force are the
homemakerS-the women, and
occasional men, who run the
homes. But they still benefit
from vocational courses.
In addition to the trade
courses about half of the high
school boys and girls take
industrial artS"-simple shop
or household mechanics classes
or home economics as part
of their general education.

All of the spending was
planned by President Truman,
even though the last five and
one-half months were under
the direction of President
Eisenhower. Mr.. Truman had
figured on only a $5.9-billion
deficit. but though his estimate
of spending turned out to be
accurate, his estimate of tax
revenues was wide of the mark.
Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey said this was large
ly due to the steel strike last
year.
The high rate of spending
is expected to continue for at
least another six months. Mr..
Humphrey announced that the
Government would borrow be-
tween $5.5 billion and $6 bill
lion in the next three months
to make up some of the differ
ence-the biggest cash borrow

The Case for Vocational Schools

The economy-minded House
recently laid aside its ak
and surprised the galleryites
by voting to increase an Eisen-
hover budget figure by IS per
cent. The appropriation pro-
vided Federal aid for vocational
education. The administration
had recommended $14 million,
but the House increased that
to almost $18.7 million-the
same as last years appropria-
ton.
What is vocational education,
and why did the House reverse
the economy trend and vote
it more money?
Briefly, it is schooling de-
signed to balance the educa-
ton given to the IS per cent
of the Nations children who
do not go to college. Voca-
tional education gives high
school-level students the basic
knowledge needed for a start
in a trade or in farming or
in homemaking. When the
youngster is graduated, he not
only has learned about his
tory, geography, mathematics,
literature, languages and the
other academic subjects, but
he also has learned about
making a living.
Half Developed System
Vocational education actu-
ally is available to only half
of the students who need it.
But even this partially de-
veloped program is effective.
This was pointed out last
month when a report was
published in Britain sum-
marizing the findings of more
than so teams of British tech
nicians, managers and union
leaders who visited this coun-
try to find out why American
workers out produce British
workers. The investigating
groups agreed that one Of the
vital cogs in Americas highly
productive society IS the bal
anced educational system.
American schools, the visi-
tors reported, turn out std
dents with at least a smatter-
ing of technical skill, and
some public schools give in
tense training in trades. The
result is that industry and the
service and distributive trades
can draw on a pool of trained
men and women. This helps
increase productivity in
America and makes for higher
incomes. more goods and. con-
sequently, a higher standard
of living.

Foreign Aid

Gen. Eisenhower was voted
just about what he asked for
during Senate action on his
foreign aid bill. His program.
however. is only part way
through the congressional
gantlet.
The President had requested
$5,474, 900, ,O00-more than So
billion of it to go to Europe
for military aid and another
81 billion for the East. The
rest was to be scattered
throughout the world in eco
nomic and military assist
ance. The House two weeks
ago cut the bill to $4,998, ,723,-
500. But the Senate last week
approved a $5,318,732,5O0 aid
fund. Although there was no
record vote on the final bill,
the Senate voted down econ
omy attempts by a margin of
48 to "a.
The measure then was sent
to a conference of Senators
and Representatives where diff
ferences in their respective
versions of the bill will be
worked out.
Next, a Money Bill
After the compromise has
been approved by both houses
and signed by the President,
the whole process must be gone
through again. The pending
measure merely authorizes the
program. Another bill must be
passed to appropriate the
money. And that bill most
certainly will be cut drasti-
cally.
The Senate did make a few
changes in the aid program
It voted to let the President
spend 81 billion of the Euro
pean aid money at his discre-
tion-in other words, hold it
up if that would induce Europe
to move toward unity. Ter
mination date for all spend
ing under the bill was set at
1857, instead of 1861 as asked
by the President.
The Senate also approved
an amendment to permit the
President to sell to foreign
countries some of the $3.2 bill
lion worth of surplus food
owned by the Government.
Money from the sale would be
used to buy arms abroad.
z Objections
There we're two objections
to the amendment, which car
ried 49 to 35 First, the Pres
ident had his own food-relief
plan which he presented to
Congress last week. It would
authorize a President to give
or sell any or all of the food
surplus to any foreign country
he felt was in need. There
were objections to the Presi-
dents plan in both parties.
