Acheson Evades an Important Question
Dean Acheson, former Secretary of
State, appeared in Mondays news
papers as guest columnist for the seri-
ously i'll Thomas S. Stokes. He chose
as his topic the question Of what should
be done in case Of the Presidents IN
ability TO discharge the powers and
duties of his office.
He cites the passage in the Constitu-
tion saying that in such an event these
powers and duties shall devolve on the
Vice-President, and the Congress may
by Law provide for the case Of. in
ability until the disability has been
removed"
Acheson approves unquaifiedly Of
the recently published agreement be-
tween President Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon.
'De Tocqueville noted century and
a quarter ago, he writes, our nation
al addiction TO complicating things.
Some persons engaging in the present
debate want TO imagine every possible
contingency and, by providing for all
of them, produce a document as IN
volved as corporate mortgage or a
marine insurance contract.
''I'he way in which the President
proposes to deal with his possible in
ability seems to me sensible He pro-
poses, if he should be able to do so, to
notify the Vice-P President Of his TEN
porary--if il should he such--lnability,
and ask him to discharge the presiden-
tial duties If he should be too i'll to
do this, the Vice. President, taking such
advice as he thought proper, would
make the decision.
When the President was again able
TO perform his duties, he would so
notify the Vice President. This leaves
the President in control whenever he is
capable Of exercising control.
THE proposal seems TO me political
~ and legally sound On the legal side
it would be highly desirable for the
Congress by law to sanction this pro-
cedure for there should be formal and
public legal acts, such as publication in
the federal register, for fixing the be
ginning and ending of this temporary
transfer Of power"
Here Acheson evades the question
that must have occurred to everybody
who has been following the debate.
That is, what shall be done if the Pres
ident's disability is Of a character to
prevent him from making rational
decision on the question Of whether or
not he is able to resume the discharge
of his duties?
Amy attempt TO have any group
judicial, legislative, executive, or mixed
empowered to determine the Presi-
dents ability TO perform his duties
diminishes and endangers the office to
an intolerable degree" says Acheson.
don't see this. believe there ought
10 be an agency, superior to the Presi-
dent, with the power to bring into
question his ability to decide upon his
own fitness to resume his duties. An
inquiry by such an agency need not be
conducted in such way as TO be per
sonal affront to the President. 1t could
elicit all the information necessary
through testimony from the Presidents
physician and other competent witness

kia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania,
however, is it not fair to ask that, if the
administration had been distrustful Of
Russia, would the United States, then
at the zenith Of its power, not have
maintained its strength in central
Europe until these nations secured
their freedom?
And in Yug0slayia-Why should the
administration, had it been distrustful
and wary Of the Russians, have backed
the communist Tito, instead Of the anti
communist leader Of the Chetniks, Gen
Draja Mikhailovitch
The answer, Of course, is that the ad-
ministration did not distrust the Rus
slams or, if it did, it did not understand
the consequences Of its miscalculations
on future generations.
But in a way, the Truman admins
tration could not be blamed for not see
ing the handwriting on the wall The
been favorably impressed by the Sow
cts, giving early recognition to that
country when most Of the other nations
were playing strictly hands off
1t was this kind of thinking that al
lowed Mr. Roosevelt and, possibly, Mr.
Churchill, to beg Good Old Joe" Stain
at Yalta in February l945, to enter
the war against Japan, and gave him
certain other concessions, such as part
of the Kuril Islands, to do sc, even
though if it hadn't been for the United
States and Great Britain, Russia would
long ago have been completely destroy
ed by the German hordes And the
war with Japan was over in matter
of six months, with Russia at great
sacrifice no doubt, getting in on the
last three weeks.
But the greatest mistake of all may
have been that neither the United
States nor Britain thought enough of
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek, presi-
dent of Nationalist China, to even in
vite him to listen in on the dehbera-
tions or to tell him what concessions
they were giving Stain in Chiang's
own country. And Chang had been
fighting the communists since 1927 and
the Japanese since 1887!
1t is, therefore, not hard to under
stand that with this kind of thinking
as precedent, Mr.. Truman would la
ter allow Mao and his "agrarian re-
formers" to completely enslave China
at the expense of the "robber baron"
Chang, thus precipitating the Korean
War, in which he so hastily involved
the United States, but which he so
stubbornly refused to finish, thereby
striking a terrific blow to freedom in
the East and giving great face" to
the communists.
Oh, well. It's an interesting conjec-

Don Matheson Of Hillsboro, for the
county, and Mrs Richmond Bond, for
Chapel Hill, enlighten me-maybe /
should use the more up-to-date phrase,
brief me--on the condition which led
TO the organization of Library Week.
This condition may be summed up in
the words, Too few people are reading,
and the purpose Of the committees here
in Orange and all other committees in
the words Let's show the non-readers
what they're missing.
The members Of the Chapel Hill com
mittee (besides Mrs. Bond, the chair
mani are Mrs H. ID. Crockford. the
Rev Charles Hubbard, Mrs. Myra Lau-
terer. Mrs Lindsay Neville, Mrs Rob
ert B. Sharpe. and Arthur Sutorus.
There has been going on in the last
few wears an elaborate and careful
gathering Of facts about reading. Or.
il might be. more accurate to say. about
the lack ef reading One fact is that
60 per cent Of the people in the United
States have not read single book in
the last year, except the Bible. Another
is that at any particular time only II
per cent are reading book. Another
is that only one tenth of the population
visited library during the last year.
Every other Englsh-speaking nation
has a better reading record than the
United States.
The observance of National Library
Week is being carried on by the Ameri-
can Library Association and the Ma
tiona Book Committee Here are pas
sages from the manifesto, THE Aims
of National Library Week" issued by
these two organizations
'The people Of the United States have
plenty Of time for reading. We have
cut the 60-hour work week to 40 hours.
We have invented electrical appliances
that replace great deal Of manual la
Dor We have heightened the life span.
The opportunity exists and the leisure,
but the American people have not yet
learned what can be done with it.
1T is to help them learn that Nation
al Library Week has come into being.
Its purpose is to encourage the people
Of the United States to do more read
ing. and its theme for the first year is
Wake up and read We cannot afford
d country Of lazy minds and the bore
dom that comes from knowing little and
caring less We cannot afford nation
Of non-readers.
Moreover the habit Of reading is
not only vital to a democratic society
but a source Of enrichment TO the indi-
vidual himself II IS the people who
read who have the most successful ca
reers. for business and industry have
never been able to find as many educat-
ed and intelligent men and women as
they need Any reader has in his
hands one of the worlds great sources
of entertainment, an activity that can
be practiced almost anywhere and at
any age A child can read under an
apple tree, a traveller in an airplane, d
housewife shelling peas, an old man
bound to the immobility Of hospital
bed and each Of them will be released
into a world of delight that could never
have existed for them otherwise.
