the President should not make

ahead and carry on his normal
activities.
@. DIR. Ravdin, could you put
in your own words your assess
ment of the possibility of the
Presidents being in a better
physical condition, now that
this condition has been elm
mated?
DR.. Ravdin-Well, gentlemen,
you must realize that I have not
been in intimate touch with the
Presidents condition prior to
this. But Gen. Snyder has just
told you that the President did
have previous attacks of abdon1-
inal pain and cramps. and in
which / agree with him. that this
undoubtedly was due to some
construction of the bowel in as
ISOLATION with ileitis. From this
point of view he should not
again have these attacks, and
therefore from the standpoint
of any abdominal complaint. he
should be better off now than he
was previously.

ference following his heart at
tack. President Eisenhower him
self last January urged that the

studied by Congress.
The Constitution provides that

dent from Office, or of his death.
resignation, or inability to dis
charge the powers and duties Of
the Office, they shall devolve on
the Vice President But it does
not spell out how or by whom
the inability of a President is to
be determined.
Doubts Amendment Is Needtd
Mr.. Celler does not believe a
constitutional amendment is nee
eSSary to spell this out.
The two historical instances
most frequently cited in connec-
ton with the need for new legis-
lation are the illnesses of Presi-
dents Garfield and Wilson.
Mr.. Garfield lived for 80 days
after he was shot on July 2.
1881. President Wilson was taken
i'll in September, 1919. and did
not attend a Cabinet meeting
until the following April. Twen-
ty-eight bills passed during a
special session of Congress be-
came law without his signature.
This occurs ten days after they
are received at the White House.
Mr.. Celler said his Subcom-
mittee has received many varied
suggestions as to how disability
should be determined. He said
one is that the Cabinet should
make it. Another is that it should
be handled by the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Celler said. however.
that would run counter to the
separation of powers in the
three coordinate branches Of
government.

For Europeans, as for Ameri-

the President try for a second

Anxiety Over Policies
In Stockholm, the liberal news
paper Expressen voiced anxiety
that Mr.. Eisenhower's illness
might enforce "a passivity in
United States policies in
glaring contrast with the explo-
sive activity Russia is developing
in almost all parts Of the world"
Expressen suggested it was un-
likely the President will run
again, The view was expressed
before the doctors report say
ing Mr.. Eisenhower was physi-
cally capable of running for re-
election If he wants to.
In London. the conservative
Sunday Times saw Mr.. Eisen-
hower's illness as likely to spark
a bitter struggle between Adlai
Stevenson and Averell Hartman
for the Democratic nomination.
Whatever may be the conse-
quences Of the Presidents ILL

suddenly made the Democratic

was loathe to act on a bill at
this time through fear that it
might be used for political pur-
poses in the coming campaign.
Mr.. Celler said that, while no
action was taken, the consensus
seemed to favor his suggestion
that the responsibility be vested
in the Vice President to make the
decision and take over as Acting
President if he deemed such ac-
ton necessary.
Action Due Next Year
Mr.. Celler said he is confident
that next January, when the
election is out Of the way, Con-
gress will deal with the problem.
His plan is based on the assump-
ton that a Vice President will
be guided by a sense of response
bility and respect for public
opinion.
The New Yorker explained
recently that public opinion. for
example, would net support a
Vice President who might sup
plant a President during an i'll
ness like President Eisenhower's
heart attack last September.
Mr.. Eisenhower was soon able
to perform necessary duties last
fall. Indications yesterday were
that his current illness will not
be an extended one.
But this session Of Congress
became interested IN the subject
because his heart attack last
September served to call renewed
attention to the lack of clarity
