Disability and the Constitution

such Q broad discretionary
power would surely be chal-
lenged in the courts. Every
executive action involving
property would become q
basis for a lawsuit by the ag-
grieved party. The whole
country would be in doubt as
to the legality Of action by q
temporary Pre- sident and
months or years might elapse
before the Supreme Court
ruled on the validity Of the
executive acts performed by a
Vice President.
The Constitution is clear in
specifying that Congress may
provide the line Of succession
when there Is q vacancy in
the ONCE Of both the presi-
dency and the vice presi-
dency. But the Constitution
does not say what may be
done In the interim when q
President is temporarily dis
abled and then RECEIVERS his
health after q period Of Elm
ability" It should be easy to
clear up all doubts by putting
through promptly q consti-
tutional amendment on that
point. ~
But the Democrats are
sparring for an issue. They
want to pass q law and would
welcome an Eisenhower veto,
because they think this would
give them an advantage In
the forthcoming campaign,
when they plan anyway to
make the Presidents illness
a matter of campaign dis
cussion. The Dem ocrats
could. Of course, then charge
the Republicans with refusing
to provide a way to permit
the Vice President to take
over temporarily for the Pres
ident. Yet the public in
terest would be better served
now by the agreement Of both
parties on q constitutional
amendment. 1t could be
adopted in record time this
year, since the language
would probably not be con-
troversial, and only an
amendment of that kind
could command a two-thirds
vote Of both houses anyhow.
The Constitution is suf-
ficiently flexible and UP to
date for those who really
want to use it and for those
who have an overwhelming
public opinion behind their
proposals.

In framing a policy to be

and textile industries and all

To clinch his argument for
lower automobile costs. SEN
ator Kefauver points to the
success Of foreign car sales,
which he estimates will reach
100000 in 1858, q 100 per cent
increase. American Motors is
the only automobile manu-
facturer now exceeding last
years sales and production
figures. That CO mpany's
smallish Rambler is now
outselling such established
leaders as Dodge and Mer-
curry.
The Senator feels the hear
ings will show that without
any open violation Of the
antitrust laws, industry
leaders such as U. S. Steel
and General Motors can
easily discipline smaller price
cutters.
The area into which the
subcommittee is moving is
one in which present anti
trust laws may be effective.
Neither has economic theory
developed to cover all its
aspects. What Senator Ke-
fauver is seeking is q remedy
which win keep competition,
especially price competition,

avoid Federal regulation. If
he succeeds, say some of his
associates, he will have done
more to protect the free
enterprise system than some
Of his conservative detractors.

Estes Kefauver is dog
gedly working some of the
richest political pay dirt now
on Capitol Hill. If he can
learn how to separate the
gold from the dross he will
profit both himself and his
party. .a
His Antitrust and MonopG
oily subcommittee is digging
into high prices. Signs are
not hard to find that Demo-
cratic efforts to make a viable
political issue out Of prices are
finally finding q responsive
electorate.
The answer the Tennessean
is seeking is why it is that
prices are staying at record
levels while production is
going down and unemploy-
ment Is rising. The answer
he thinks is that prices in
many industries are set and
maintained artificially, with
out much reference to de-
mand and supply. In the
jargon Of the e con o m is is
these are "a q m inis er e d

Eost-West Balance Of Power

We have q stronger and more
versatile air force that can
deliver such bombs on target
far more accurately than can
be done at the present state
Of technical development by
missiles.
Furthermore, the investi.
gators reported, neither we
nor Russia have any substan-
tial stockpile Of atomic mis-
siles. Our intelligence services
seem to be unanimous in
their belief that the Russians
do not possess more than one
missile with an atomic head
which could be launched on
an American target.
After weeks of exhausting
IA ct-finding interrogations,
the consensus Of these highly
responsible men who look at
the situation from q purely
realistic point Of view is, ac-
cording to an unpublished
report: AT the very moment,
it would be possible for the
United States virtually to
wipe out all life in Russia
within q few hours (by SAC
action) and within the space
Of not more than two hours
we could wipe out every one
Of Russia's aircraft and mis-
siles installations"
But the report adds, 1T Is
unlikely that we can hold our
present advantage for more
than two years because within
that time Russia will have
stockpiled sufficient missiles
with atomic heads and con.
currently built up her air
force. Thus within two years
the Soviet Union and the
United States would possess
substantially equal atomic
striking power"
Therein lies the parallel
between 1887 when We
missed an opportunity after
the Panay incident and had
to fight four years later Q
destructive and costly war
which might have been
avoided and the situation in
1858.

per cent of capacity. Last
year it operated at IS per
cent of capacity. Yet prices
have stayed up. From Au-
gust, 1856, through July,
1857, steel prices went up
$3.50 a ton. The companies
blamed this on increased
labor costs. but Senator Ke-
fauver has charged that the
price increases were double
the increased cost of labor.
Despite lowering produc-
ton rates, committee staff
members point out, U. S.
Steel reported for last year
the highest profits in its his

In the automobile industry,
prices are up by about four
per cent on 1858 models al
though the rate of produc-
ton has fallen to so per cent

the high degree Of compete

But Senator Kefauver points
out that the competition does
not extend to prices. Among
the so-called low-p rice d

Plymouth-wholesale prices
on a model-for- model basis
vary no more than $40 be-
tween them. This seems to
the Senator something more
than coincidence. Especially

tual manufacturing cost of
the cars varies more sharply.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Democrats Seen PrefeHing Political
Issue Rather Than a Solution

It's strange how the process
by which the Constitution
can be amended seems sud-
denly to become cumbersome
and dilatory to those politi-
clans who wish to circumvent
it either by passing q law or
by presSuring the Supreme
Court 10 change its decisions.
Thus the Democrats now
are saying it would take too
long to get a constitutional
amendment adopted which
would provide a method
whereby the Vice President
can serve temporarily in case
Of the disability Of a presi-
dent.
But the Democrats did not
feel that way in 1888, when
they put through both houses
Of Congress the repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment on
prohibition and when three
fourths of the States ratified
the new Twenty-f1 Amend
ment by December of that
same year - less than 10
months in all. Similarly,
the Seventeenth Amendment,
providing for the election of
Senators by popular vote.
took less than 10 months for
ratification. The Nineteenth
Amendment on woman's suf-
frage was ratified in about
IA months. Approval of the
Twentieth, or lame duck"
Amendment came IL months
after submission by Congress
The lesson lis plain-when
public opinion is united, it
is easy to get a constitutional
amendment passed quickly.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that, if by a two-thirds
vote Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives a new
amendment on presidential
disability were submitted to
the States. it could, be
adopted before the year 1858
comes to a close.
When controversial issues
are involved, it is true that
it takes longer to get a con-
stitutional amen d m e n t
adopted. The late President

ocrat, in his Nationwide

people Of the Arab world
have long been imbued with
the hope Of achieving
strength and independence
through unity. If we think
this is Communist-inspired
we are deceiving ourselves.
Israel, France and Britain
attempted to quench the
rising tide by going to war.
Assuming that Arab ma
tionalism is incompatible
with their interest. they were
perfectly logical. But they
failed to consider several fac
tors: The U.N. Charter, the
opinion of all Afro-Asia, and
the position that would be
taken by the Soviet Union.
When what was conceived
as a minor punitive expedi-
ton threatened to become
a world conflagration, the
United States refused CO.
operation and the venture
failed.
At that moment the United
States had enormous pres
tige which it could have adj
vantageously exploited. For
there is another factor
namely, that Arab national
ism is as severely threatened
by dependency on Russia as
it would be by dependency
on any other great power,
and the economic life Of the
whole area Is tied to the
West.
But what have we done
and gone on doing?

by most Of the press, has

ing decisions Of the Supreme
Court by packing" it with
additional justices whom the
President would appoint
decried the talk of doing any
thing to reform the court by
a constitutional amendment.
He said:
1T would take months or
years to get Substantial
agreement upon the type and
language Of an amendment.
It would take months and
years thereafter to get a two
thirds majority in favor of
that amendment in both
houses Of the Congress. Then
would come the long course
Of ratification by three
fourths of all, the States. No
amendment which any pow
erful economic interests or
the leaders Of any pow
erful political party have had
reason to oppose has ever
been ratified within anything
like a reasonable time"
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed his
disbursement, too, over
what happens even when a
new constitutional amend
ment on a complex subject is
finally adopted. He added
this observation:
And remember one thing
more. Even if an amend
ment were passed. and even if
in the years to come it were to
be ratified, its meaning would
depend upon the kind of
justices who would be sitting
on the Supreme Court bench.
An amendment. like the rest
Of the Constitution, is what
the justices say it is. rather
than what its trainers or you
might hope it is"
This note Of despair about
our Constitution uttered by
the man who has been can
onized by the D e m o cra tic
Party is repeated these days
by Democratic leaders. But
some of the same objections
apply also to any law that
may be passed by Congress.

were enacted setting up a

President when he seemed to
be disabled and to decide
later whether or not he had
