majority. Duvalier hackers
swept all n seats in the Sem

De1oie lost the election. Mr..
Dejoie dropped suddenly out

after the election that the bal
loting had been riddled with
fraud.
The election was called by
the ruling military junta in
the hope the newly elected
leader would end the POLITICAL
turmoil that has rocked this
Caribbean island since last De-
cember. The junta seized con-
troll in June and imposed rigid
security measures to keep down
revolt. But many security
measures have been relaxed
and every effort is being made
to bring the island back to
normal in time for the winter
tourist trade.
The junta clamped on an
austerity program to save
Haiti from economic ruin. 1t
set up a High Court Of Ac-
count to inspect and control
all finances. Because Of the
money saving moves. the in
auguration of Mr.. Duvalier as

To Protect Givers

Once again legislation has been in
troduced to curb charity" racketeers
whose annual "take" in Washington is
estimated to be around $500,00O Similar
legislation has been proposed from time
to time for many years. but always the
bills have failed to pass. We hope that
this Congress will take the steps neceS-
Sary to protect the charitably inclined
public from being defrauded by the shady
characters who make business of prey
ing on the sympathieS and emotions of
unwary citizens.
The Mcmillan bill, which has been
reported by the Judiciary subcommittee
of the House District Committee, is de-
signed to meet conditions uncovered by
citizens committee after a thorough
study of charity racketeering in this
area. This group found that professional
fund solicitors, operating usually by tele-
phone, trick hundreds of persons into
donating funds to phony patriotic, chart
table or religious organizations. Others
promote benefit" dances or other affairs
on basis that assures the racketeers
a major share of the benefits. The COM

by the Citizens Advisory Council
Many States and cities already have
such registration and disclosure laws
and they have found them very effective
in driving the racketeers elsewhere. The
New York law, enacted in 1854, is typical
of number of statutes along this line.
The main weapon against the charity
ICON" men is the provision for full dis
closure of the nature of the organization
and the purpose of the solicitation, with
the right to revoke registration licenses
in event of fraudulent registration or
activities Drives solely for religious pur-
poses are exempted under these laws
and would be likewise exempted under
the Mcmillan bill. While the details of
the pending measure may require care
full study, to avoid interference with
legitimate drives, the principle in general
is a good one. Washington should not
lag behind other Jurisdictions in safe
guarding the public against deception
by those who falsely pose as representa-
tives Of philanthropic organizations.

STRANGE Performance

The strange goings-on at Annapolis
in connection with trafiic-safety legis-
lation call for an explanation to the pub
lie There have been curious actions both
on the part of the Senate Judicial Pro-
ceedings Committee and of the Deputy
Director of Motor Vehicles. AS result,
the only safety" measure that has passed
the General Assembly is one increasing
the speed limit on dual highways from SIS
to 60 miles an hour.
While the House was passing bills
to require periodic relicensing of drivers
and suspension or revocation of the per-
mits of dangerous drivers under a point
system, the Senate committee was with
holding action on or killing these and
several other safety bills. Stranger even
than the committees attitude toward the
neutrality-suspicious. legislation was the

Vehicles-or more specifically, by It's

Nosser and the Canal

For the first time since the Anglo
French-Israeli assault on Egypt last fall,
SiZeable ships have passed through the
SueZ Canal. But they have done so on
President NasSer'S terms, which in all
respects seem to mean that the Cairo
government is determined to exercise full
and exclusive control over the operation
and management of the vital waterway.
This suggests, in effect, that Colonel
NaSser no longer subScribes to the prin-
ciple that the canal should be insulated"
from the power politics of any country.
However, despite his anti-American and
anti-Western remarks over the week end,
and despite his strong hint that Israeli
shipping will be barred from both Suez
and the Gulf of Aqaba as long as the
Arab refugee problem remains unsettled,
Judgment must continue to be reserved
at the moment For there is still some
ground for hoping that he will be wise
enough not to use the waterway-or mis-
use it-aS a sort of club which he might
swing to satisfy his personal whims or
ambitions.
1t may be wiShful, of course, to en-
SSA Vail QUILL q AAOPC. LUZ VIC AdCR 1C-
mains that Colonel NaSser'S memoran-
dunn on the canal affirms two things,
among others: ~ That he will respect
the terms and the spirit of the 1888 Con-
stantinople Convention and (2) that he
will be willing to settle any future Suez
disputes or diSagreements either through
ordinary procedures in accord with the
United Nations Charter or through the
special machinery of the International
Court of Justice. And at the same time, at
least by indirection, some of his spokes-
men have indicated that he has not re-
jected the idea of working out a COM
promise on the basis of contemporaries
from the West.
So it would be premature to rule out
the possibility that negotiations may yet
lead to mutually satisfactory Suez set
Element. And this seems the more true
because Colonel Nasser has reason to well
come such a settlement as a thing Sorely
needed for the sake of both his own pres
tige and Egypt's economy Certainly, If
he has wisdom to match his apparent
ShrewdneSS, he will not muff his present
opportunity to promote peace and serve
the best interests of his country by act
ing in a spirit of good will and genuinely
constructive craftsmanship.

Determining 'Incopocity'

Congress seldom has faced knottier
problem, or received a greater variety of
proposals as to its resolution, than the
pending question on how to determine
presidential disability and to provide for
further exercise of the powers of the Of
flee. 1t is a question not answered by
the Constitution, but 1t is one that has
arisen three times in the life of the Ma
tion-during the administrations of Pres
identS Garfield, Wilson and Eisenhower.
Current study Of the problem has been
going on since shortly after Mr.. Eisen-
hower's heart attack In late 1855 and
the President himself has said repeatedly
that some kind of resolution" should
be reached His own recommendation,
outlined to congressional leaders last
week, is to be presented to the House
Judiciary Committee today by Attorney
General Brownell.
1t calls, in brief, for a constitutional
amendment providing that President
himself should declare his incapacity and
call upon the Vice President to take
over the duties until such time as the
presidential disability may be ended. In
event President is unable or unwilling
to make the initial finding, a majority of
the Cabinet would be authorized to do so.
There are, however, numerous other
proposals-Some of them Incorporated in
legislation already introduced In either
House or Senate. One is to give the
authority to Vice President to decide
when stricken President is unable to
perform his duties, and to take over
forthwith. Another would establish a
commission having representation from
the judicial, legislative and executive
branches empowered to make such deter
mination. A third would place the re-
sponsibility in the hands of the Supreme
Court, upon request of Congress. Some
favor setting up the procedures by legis-
lation alone, others by constitutional
amendment. Some, like Speaker Ray
burn, repeatedly are cool to any formal
action on grounds that it is unnecessary
and may create more problems than it
solves.
There are persuasive arguments for
each of the proposed lines of action, and
perhaps even for taking no action at all.
There does remain, however, the require
ment that national government today
must be assured Of continuity of author
ity and responsibility The Congress, and
the executive branch, are dealing with
a question that is important to the flu
ture welfare of the Nation. II has no
partisan implications and the current
deliberations deserve the most thoughtful
consideration.
