Congressional steps to meet
the presidential disability prob
lem faltered today because of
q House Judiciary Committee
dispute over giving a commits
sion mandatory or advisory
power.
The committee failed to set
tie the issue yesterday. 1t will
meet again next Tuesday in an
other attempt TO report a.bill
to the House.
Democratic members stand
almost solidly with Speaker
Rayburn's position that a sim
pie statute would be sufficient.
Republicans support the con-
tention of Attorney General
Rogers that a constitutional
amendment is necessary.
Situation Complicated
The situation in the House
has been complicated by criti-
ism Of the announced agree
ment between President Eisen-
hover and Vice President Nix
On on what the Vice President
should do if the President be-
comes temporarily incapaci-
tated.
Moreover. prospects for con-
gressional action of any kind
this year are clouded by diff
ferences of opinion between
House leaders and some Sem
ate Democrats. Democratic
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee
and Republican Senator Dirk
sen of Illinois report some BIZ
partisan backing as well as
administration Endorsement of
their proposed congressional
amendment. Senate Demo-
cratic Leader johnson indicates
he Is lukewarm to that pro-
posal.
Disability Bill Reported
Controversy in the House
committee centered yesterday
on a presidential disability bill
reported out on straight party
lines by a Democratic-con-
trolled subcommittee. Despite
lack Of agreement, there were
signs that the basic question
has been clarified and the
argument narrowed down to
one principal point.
The measure would permit a
Vice President to discharge
powers and duties" as Acting
President if the President sent
a formal notification of temper
airy inability to serve. Main
disagreement, however. deals
with the proposed eight-mem-
Der commission that would
make an official determination
of presidential disability. The
commission would consist Of the
Vice President. Speaker of the
House, the Senate president pro
tempore. Secretary of State
and Senate and House majority
and minority leaders. The Vice
President. Speaker and presi-
dent pro tenn, could not vote.
The bill provides that a Vice
President may" take over as
Acting President on notif1ca-
ton of the commissions de-
termination of presidential dis
ability.
Representative Heating of
New York, ranking Republican
on the committee, objected that
this would make the commits
sion merely an advisory group
He urged that it's determine
ton be mandatory and that
this power be secured by con-
stitutional amendment
Sees Light Dawning
Committee Chairman Celler
conceded that the Constitution
would have to be amended If a
mandatory commission proce-
dure were established. But he
insisted that the present word
ing of the bill was adequate and
could solve the problem APP
propriately and quickly in a
legislative bill.
I'VE would change the whole
concept'if we have a mandatory
commission and conStitu-
tional amendment" he told re-
porterS.

An insurance program similar to
that of previous years was adopt
ed.
A request from parents of the
Glenwood School to have foreign
language courses offered in that
school on a tuition-paying basis
was denied. The Board indicated
that is was in no way opposed
to having foreign languages taught
the children Of the schools but
that it was opposed in principle
to the charging of tuition for any
in-school activity. The Board
further voted to continue on an
experimental basis the teaching
of foreign languages by volunteers
if and when competent teachers
offered to do the work. Last year
Spanish was taught on this basis
at the Glenwood Elementary
School and German was taught
at the Franklin Street SCHOOL,
Because neither the cafeteria
of the Estes Hills School nor the
one that will serve the three West
Franklin Street schools will be
completed when the schools open
next week, cold lunches will be
served in the classrooms at each
of the schools in question. The
regular 25c fee win be charged.
Children who so desire may bring
their lunches from home.
Because it would cost at least
s.. 200 to raze the old tin can
gymnasium on the high school
grounds on West Franklin Street,
plans call for its being renovated
and used.

School Committee and by the Or
ange County Board of Education
to accept White Cross pupils in
its schools free of charge provided
community sentiment indicated
that a merger election would car
ry as soon as one could legally
be held taccording to present laws
such an election may not be held
until after July /, 1853, when that
area becomes contiguous to the
Chapel Hill District-it is at that
time that the Carrboro School
District will officially be merged
with the Chapel Hill Unit. The
Chapel Hill Board members said
that the petitions indicated a gen.
uine and active interest in hav-
ing the school districts merged. It
was on this basis that the above
arrangement was adopted.
The route that the public school
bus serving the Estes Hills pupils
will take is published elsewhere
in this issue Of the Weekly.
The five-dollar supply fee set for
the elementary and junior high
school pupils will cover the cost
of supplementary reading mater
ials, Institutional supplies and
library needs. 1t was noted that the
fee averages about two and half
cents per school day.
The seven dollars and a half
supply fee of the senior high school
pupils will be used to enrich the
school program and will pay the
book fee, the instructional supply
fee and the library fee. Joseph
Johnston, superintendent Of the
Chapel Hill Schools, had last sum-
mer asked the Orange County Com
missioners to raise the Chapel Hill
District special school tax by five
cents tas permitted by law to
cover the supply fee cost and
other expenses but the request
was not granted.

First steps toward applying

added that Soviet scientists are
presumably working along the

The magnetic propulsion

only after the ship travelling at

AMSTERDAM. Netherlands,
Aug. 27.-"Sweeper" satellites
could "houseclean" away the
dangerous band of radioactivity
high above the earth, a space
scientist suggested yesterday.
This radiation is the mystery
halo discovered by Explorer
satellites and Sputniks. 1t APP
parently could be deadly to
humans.
But the sweepers could clear
a channel so humans could
safely zoom of on space trips,

Versity Of Maryland told the

week.
Radiation Intensity
Or, space ships might escape
it by taking of over the Poles,
where there are apparently
natural holes In the belt, he
continued. AS another idea,
space ships might be equipped
with magnetic screens to fend
off the radiation. All these
schemes would avoid tremen-
dously heavy lead shielding.

J. Won Beckh Of Holloman Air
Force Base, at Alamogordo,
N. Mex.
Volunteers were photo
graphed and analysed as they
rode in the rear cockpit Of Jet
fighters. The planes pulled
out OF dives--simulating the
terrible gravity pull of rocket
takeoff then arched in weight
less flight. then sped up again.
With heavy gravity pulls, the
passengers faces became dis
torted as by sudden age. The
men became confused. Their
chests hurt. They felt faint
or BACKED out. The pilots
we're protected by gravity suits.
All volunteers said they felt
the gravity effects more keenly
after being weightless, Or. Won
Beckh reported. Some were
experienced Jet pilots some had
never flown before.
Defects in circulation, in
muscular control, vision, and
Judgment likely will occur at
lower accelerations and prob
ably continue a longer time in

flight. Dr.. Won Beckh added.
Blackouts could be fatal,
with the uncontrolled space
ship turning INTO a flaming
meteor.

Sweeper Satellites
.Moy Fend Off Radiation

Calculating from explorer
findings, DR.. Singer said the
radiation appears so intense
that in three hours a person
would get 100 roentgens--
equivalent to a safe maximum
dose for a whole lifetime.
The radiation band, he con-
tinued. probably stretches 40,-
600 miles high above the earth
before 1t dwindles away. He
put the maximum intensity at
O height Of 5000 miles over
the equator.
The radiation band might
even extend all the way to the
moon, DR.. Fred Whipple,
Smithsonian Institution as
tronomer, told a reporter.
DR.. Singer said the radiation
appears thinner at higher alti-
tudes and nonexistent at the
poles. He theories 1t is made
OF protons--poSitively charged
atomic particles--trapped in
the earth's magnetic field.
The space sweepers could be
satellites, about 80 feet in di.
ameter, circling the earth above
the equator, and soaking up the
protons faster than they are
being formed.
Cleansing" Space
One sweeper might cut the
radiation to safe levels in about
a year, or IL sweepers could do
1t in a month, DR.. Singer
theorized.
Mars and Venus and even
the moon may have similar
tradition bands around them, he
added. Getting safely through
them could also be a hazard.
DR.. Singer speculateS that the
protons come from collisions of
cosmic rays in the earth's at
mosphere. These hits create
some neutronS which bounce
back toward space, and change
into protons that get trapped
in the earth's magnetic field.
He said the protons may be
trapped at such a low rate that
only one is injected into the
band per cubic centimeter Of
space every 80 million years.
But they stick around and in
time build up to huge intensity,

One theory is the moon Is

The danger would result
from the sudden speedup from

One of the stickiest problems
