Disability Plan
Replies TO Sceptics
On Acting President
BY MARY McGRORY

Attorney General Brownell to-
day defended the administra-
tons proposals on presidential
disability against sceptical ques-
TONERS from both parties.
Appearing before the House
Judiciary Committee as the ad-
vocate of constitutional amend
ment. Mr.. Brownell was sharply
challenged on its most contro-
versial article. that which would
empower the Vice President. with
consent Of the Cabinet to de-
clare the Presidents inability
and TO take over as Acting Pres
ident.
Chairman Celler of New York
suggested that cabinet members.
who are often personal friends
of the President. might be re-
luctant to declare him unable to
continue as President.
Points to Highest Loyalty
Mr.. Brownell said cabinet off,
GERS owe their highest loyalty 10
the Constitution, not the Presi-
dent. and the fact of their
friendship would give added pub
lie support to their opinion Of
the Presidents inability.
But Mr.. Celler said that per-
sonal fealty in the case of Presi-
dent Wilson prevented any move
towards declaring his inability.
Furthermore. cabinet members
might be unwilling to move
against the President when it
might mean their jobs. Mr.. Celler
said.
Mr.. Brownell said the amend
ment contained safeguard in
that it plainly designated the
Vice President as Acting Presi-
dent and permitted the presi-
dent in writing to designate the
end of his disability, at which
time he could resume Office.
Keating Sees Hazard
Representative Keating, Re-
publican of New York, pointed
out what he considered this
hazard. Under Section Of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment. the President can declare
his own inability in writing.
But under Section 3, the Vice
President. with the Cabinets ap-
proval can declare the Presi-
dent unable to discharge his
duties and become acting Presi-

Executive Plan
President Proposes
Senior Civil Service
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The administration has sent
to Federal agencies a proposed
draft of a presidential executive
order creating a special board
to provide for the selection and
training of Government career
executives. it was learned today.
The proposed order is a modi-
f1cation of the Hoover Commits
sion recommendation of a "sen-
ior civil service" in which top
civil servants would be selected
for key Government executive
jobs.
The White House and Budget
Bureau have asked agency COM
ments on the plan and any sug-
gestions for implementing it.
Under the proposed order. a
special career development
board would be established un-
der the jurisdiction of the Civil
Service Commission.
Training Program Is Key
The board would be composed
of top Government officials as
well as outstanding private citi-
zens.
The board would develop
standards and 'criteria for Sc
lecting the most promising and
capable employees for Federal ex-
ecutive jobs and also establish
programs to help train them for
new assignments.
Also, the board would set up
a flexible program whereby
career executives would be en-
couraged to move from one Gov
ernment agency to another as
their talent and experience are
needed.
The proposed executive order
would be within the confines of
existing law. Therefore. no pas
boosts for these executive jobs
would be provided for at the
present time. The Hoover Com
mission had proposed special
premium pay for these officials
Higher Pay Proposed
/ Administration feeling is that
the program should begin on a
modest basis and be extended in
the light Of subsequent expert
ence in administering it. Sub
sequent requests to Congress for
legislation setting up higher pay
for these career executives and
other incentives such as better
pensions. etc, would follow il
the program proves a success
administration officials say.
The program is designed to
develop corps of Government
career executives whose talents
can be utilized at any time by
any agency as the need for their
services develops.

about the effectiveness of the U.
N.-especially since the dispute
arose over the SueZ Canal.
Il explained to the President
our anxieties about its recent
development, which spring from
the distortion of the structure
originally intended" he said.
This is dues to the persistent
use of the veto in the Security
Council. And this, in turn. has
led to responsibilities being
placed upon the General Assem-
bly, which were not originally
contemplated :"
Il think the truth really is
that of the broad policies of the
leading countries in that organi-
zation can be brought into line,
and above all If Britain and the
United States work closely to-
gether. / have every hope they
will be able to bring sufficient
influence on the working of the
United Nations to counteract
some Of the less responsible and
more volatile emotions that seem
sometimes to influence its men,

The debate came with the Con-
servative regime Mr.. Macmillan
inheuetd from Sir Anthony Eden

home and party ranks split over
foreign policy.
Opposition Laborites are clam
oring for an immediate national
election, but have not laid down
