Cultural Site
See Action Saving
Air Museum, Too
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star STAT Writer

The District Commissioners
have Endorsed a rFoggy Bot
tom site for a national cul-
tural center.
Their action in executive ses-
sion yesterday reversed an orig
inal recommendation of a site
on the Mall.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent of the Board of Commits
sioners, explained city heads
had changed their minds to
save legislation for both the
cultured center and an air
museum.
Pending before a Senate Pub
| lie Works Subcommittee are bills
to put the center on a 7.7-acre
tract by the Potomac River be-
tween Twenty-siXth street and
Rock Greek and Potomac park
ways, and to place the Smith
Sonian Institution Museum on
the Mall. Original versions of
the bills call for the Mall site
for both buildings.
Fulbright Yields
Subcommittee Chairman Nc
Namara, Democrat of Michigan,
announced last week that Sen
ator Fulbright, Democrat of
Arkansas, sponsor of the cultur-
al center legislation, had agreed
to substitute a Foggy Bottom
location.
Since then the National Cap
ital Planning Commission, the
Fine Arts Commission, the
Washington Board of Trade
and the Federal City Council
nave enthusiastically supported
the switch.
Approval by the Commission
ers was considered vital be-
cause the city may have to pay
$650,000 for the IL acres of
privately owned land in the
7.7-acre Foggy Bottom site. The
Planning Commission is to ac-
quire land, probably with Cap
per-Crampton funds which the
District must pay back 100 per
cent.
Both Projects Seen Periled
While we are not in an
enviable financial position, the
possible loss of $650,000 is a
price we are willing to pay for

The Senate is due to act on
the legislation this afternoon.
In moving to accept the

Senate will offer several amend
mentS which it hopes the House
will accept and thus clear the
bill for the White House.
If the House balks at the
amendments, a House-Senate

New Jobs Added
The proposed Senate amend

to $17,500 a year. Also, 365
new scientific and engineering
jobs paying up to $4,000 an
nually would be added.
Another Senate amendment
would deny the 10 per cent
raise to engineers, scientists and
other Federal classified en-
ployes in shortage occupations

It would leave it up to the csc

An Understanding

Last week Mr.. Eisenhower In

his own solution of the complex
question Of how the presidency
will be handled in case he is dis
abled to the point of being in
capable of performing his conSti-
tutional duties.
lie told his press conference
that "Mr. Nixon knows exactly
what he should do in the event
of a presidential disability. -. !"
Questioned further, the President
explained: There is such a clear
understanding between Mr.. Nixon
and myself, an understanding to
which others around me are COM
pletely privy, that it is incon-
ceivable, that is. between him and
me, that any misunderstanding
could occur"
Mr.. Eisenhower obviously felt
that, as far as his administration
and his own possible disability
was concerned. the matter should
rest there; he implied that every
thing was taken care of lat the
moment" He added. however.
that he thought a solution should
be provided for all future cases. +"

an interest in the matter-since

the economy only after they have
occurred.
But the continuing rise in the
midst of a recession also suggests
that retail prices have become in
recent years less responsive to
economic behavior. Modern meth
DDS of packaging, for one thing,
have made prices more rigid, less
vulnerable to the old law of supply
and demand.
Further, the profit motive re-
quireS that retail prices rise more
or less in line with wholesale
prices. For some years now,
wholesale prices have been climb
ing at a sleeper rate than retail
prices, thus giving the latter
even in a recession-an added
"catching-up' incentive.
But if the present recession lasts
long enough and goes deep enough,
economists believe living costs
eventually will be forced to drop.
President Eisenhower recognizes
now that the Nations economy is
in a recession--he used the word
only last week in explaining again
to reporters what he proposes to
do about it. Previously, the Presi-
dent and most Republicans SHE'D

been suffering from a cold. We
know that America is not always
at the very tip-top of its form,
and it is not now"
And once again he cautioned:
''This is no time to listen to the
people who are men of little faith
and of little spirit"

Postal Bill:

Whether the cost Of mailing a
letter out of town will remain at
three cents, be increased to the
House-passed figure of four cents.
or go up to five cents, as approved
by the Senate, is now up to a

1t seems certain that the three

And it is likely that the new rate.

The Senate voted last week for

ers. The pay raise would cost
$3.50 million a year.
The postal pay increase was
voted as a part Of the postage
rate increase bill. Since the rate
bill has already been approved in
the House. it will go now to con-
ference, thus avoiding House &C
ton on a separate pay bill.
The improved pay as voted in
the Senate would raise classified
workers an average of rs per cent,
compared to 12.5 per cent voted
for postal workers. There was
indication the administration
would accept an 8.5 increase for
both categories of workers. Mr..
Eisenhower has opposed the higher
rate for postal workers.

The Economy:
Prices Up

The 1889 recession saw a
drop in consumer prices of Just
over per cent. In the less vio-

remained stable. But during the

are continuing to rise just as
though the boom was still on.

it could not rest there. In fact,
the Presidents remarks revived
the issue anew.
Some congressional critics
thought that Mr.. Eisenhower was
overlooking the fact that the
Presidents powers originate with
the people. and that it is not his
prerogative to choose successor
under any circumstances.
Senator Estes Kefauver, second
ranking Democrat on the Judici-
airy Committee, said that if Mr..
Eisenhower intended to imply
that we don't need a solution now,
or that his agreement with Mr..
Nixon is in lieu of one. then he
was going too far"
Senator Kefauver also joined
others in calling for publication

pie"
In the House, Democratic
Leader John Mccormack de-
manded that the President dis

Mr.. Nixon, adding that Congress
needed it in considering legisla-
ton.
The President would not say
at his press conference whether
the understanding" he referred
to was in writing. And later the
White House refused to shed any
further light on the agreement.

At his first formal press con-
ference after his September 1865
heart attack, President Eisen-
hover took note Of constitu-
tional inadequacy that had been
given a new pertinence by his ILL
ness. and urged that 1t be cor
rected. The constitutional gap
raises these questions:
Q Who shall decide whether the
President is unable to perform his
duties?
. How should this decision be
made?
. At what point Of disability
shall it be made?
At that press conference. held
on January 10. 1856, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said:
II think it is a subject that. in
its broadcast aspects. every phase
of it should be carefully studied
by the Congress. advised with by
the Attorney General and any
kind of advice they want from the
executive department, and some
kind of resolution of doubt
reached"
Congress took the ball, but it
has yet to complete the play. A
special subcommittee was APP
pointed to study the matter, the
advice Of leading citizens and
jurists was solicited. the Attorney
Generals views were received. and
a dozen or so bills were introduced
dealing with the situation.
Following each Of his two more
recent illnesses, the President
made clear again his desire for
a Qualification of Clause 6. Sec
ton /, Article II of the Constitu-
ton, which says:
In Cose Of the Removal Of the Presi-
dent from Office, or Of his Deoth,
Resignation, or Inability to discharge

questions were first raised while
the Constitution was being writ
ten, but were never answered. But
Mr.. Eisenhower's three serious
illnesses have kept the subject
before the public.
And because Vice President
Nixon is controversial PERSONAL
ity, another question has been
raised by the language of the
Constitution. This question con-
Germs the antecedent of the pro-
noun Same" in the disability

ties of the said Office?
If the Office itself were to de-
volve upon the Vice President in
the case of a disabling presiden-
tial illness, then the Vice Presi-
dent would become President while
the elected President still was
alive. How would a disabled Pres
ident regain his Office once the
disability was removed? If. how
ever, the Vice President were to
assume only the powers and du-
ties. then the President, upon his
recovery, might reclaim his au-
