public If members of one poll
tical party were permitted a
direct voice in the selection of
leaders Of another political
party.
Finally, it Is imperative
that the person who stands
first In line to become Presi-
dent not find his time en-
numbered with responsible
ties which are not directly
related to the overall direc-
ton Of the executive branch
of government. The Vice
President should have the
continu ing opportunity to
familiarize himself with the
philosophy Of the President
and with the policies of the
administration.
In reply to the argument
that the selection of two vice
presidential candidates at
the nominating conventions
would achieve all Of the
above purposes, I suggest
that:
/. It might be difficult to
convince a capable leader to
sacrifice four productive
years In some other capacity
to run for election as second
Vice President.
2. Since only recently has
the Vice President been
assigned responsibilities
comm ensurate with the
office, division of these
responsibilities might reduce
the office to its past ineffec-
tiveness.
8. The selection Of two
Vice Presidents does not
provide for q perpetual
succession to the presidency;
it must be further imple-
mented by a presidential
succession act.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Line of Succession

There is developing consid-
cradle concern over the
manner in which the person
to succeed to the presidency
should be determined when
the office of the Vice Presi-
dent Is unoccupied. Any
resolution of this problem
must satisfactorily cope with
q number of considerations:
The people should have
some voice in the selection of
a person who might ascend
to the presidency; continuity
Of administration should be
insured at all times between
presidential elections: the
concept Of party responsible
ity should be maintained;
and the person selected
should have as his primary
responsibility the person q |
preparation for the eventual
ity that he would assume the
office Of the presidency.
I offer the following as q
solution to the problem with
the sincere belief that it is
Just to the people of the
country and to the office of
the presidency:
In case of the vacancy of
the office Of the Vice Presi-
dent, the President shall
nominate a person to succeed
to that office. The person
nominated shall assume the
duties Of Vice President after
receiving the approval Of a
majority Of q vote by those
members Of the House and Of
the Senate who are members
of the same political party as
the President.
InaSmuch as the new Vice
President would be nominat-
ed by one who was placed in
office by a vote of all the
people, and he would be
affirmed by a number of

Sea and Soviets

Back in 1856, speaking as NATO's
supreme commander in Europe, General
Alfred Gruenther had this to say about
the Soviets: 81 can explain in terms
Of the cold war why they have ITS
divisions in Russia, 10000 planes, and
go divisions in the satellites. But I can't
explain 400 submarines. There is no
cold war value to submarine. 1t is
a hot war weapon. They have five
times more submarines than Germany
had in 1885,"
And now the latest edition of James
Fighting Ships, Britain's authoritative
naval journal, has struck a similar
note Of warning. 1t has done so by
declaring that the Russians, with prob
ably more than 430 submarines in a
combat-ready status, has developed the
worlds most powerful underSea fleet.
AS for the United States, James opinion
Is this: In terms Of overall quantita-
tive and qualitative strength, the United
States still possesses the mightiest navy
ever seen. But 1t is navy, as James
views 1t, that will lose it primacy to
the USSR unless 1t modernizes itself
with greater speed to meet the ominous
Soviet challenge.
James, Of course, is not the last
word on the subject. Some of our own
experts, for example, would question
the statement that the Russian sub
marine fleet, formidable though it is
in numbers and efficiency, is really
better than ours, or even as good. Ours,
after all, has more nuclear power in
It, and the yet-to-be- matched Polaris
craft. Still, there can be no doubt that
the Soviet Union, which at the end of
the Second World War had no navy
worthy OF the name, has since done a
spectacular job in making itself a sea
power second only to America. Nor can
there be any doubt that its underSea
strength constitutes threat of the
first magnitude.
In these circumstances, the United
States can hardly afford to be SNUG
about its position on the surface of the
worlds seas, or above and below them.
The James warning suggests that the
Joint Congressional Atomic Committee
has quite solid basis for its bipartisan,
unanimous criticism of Defense Sec
retary McNamara'S thumbS-down atti-
tude toward certain advanced weapons
systems, including another nuclear-
powered aircraft carrier. The commit
tee, headed by Senator PaStore, is a
highly knowledgeable one, too respon-
Sible-minded to and too aware of the
atoms potentialitieS good
and wonderfully terrifying-to be play
ing a game of cheap politics.
Accordingly, what the committee
has now had to say about Mr.. Nc
Namara's judgments ought to have the
closest attention in the White House
as well as in Congress. Mr.. Mcnamara
may be right. If he is wrong, however,
as many distinguished military and
on-military people think he is, he had

CongreSSmen who had also
been placed in office through
the elective process, this
proposal satisfies the neceSSi-
ty Of allowing the people to
have a share in the appoint
ment process. This proposal
offers the. average citizen a
greater voice than he nor
mally shares In the nominat-
ing convention. =.
Because the people placed
into power q particular
administration, 1t is proper
and Just that that admins
tration be continued in power
until the next presidential
election. Hence, any system
which would allow a repre-
sentative Of the opposition
party to occupy q high office
in the Presidents administra-
ton could prove a hindrance
to the concept Of continuity
of administrative policy. Fur
ther, it would be disruptive to
the national interest to have
the possibility Of conflict at
the top of the executive
branch. Preference to the ad-
miniStration of Presiden t
Adams and Vice President
jefferson would be a case in
pointO
Through the years q sys-
tenn Of party responsibility
has been established in
American politics. 1t would
be only fair, then, that the
party Of the President exer-
else some Judgment in the
determination Of the indivi-
dual who could conceivably
become the head Of the party
were he to ascend to the
office of the presidency. It
would be contrary to party
politics and it would comph-

them. But the Supreme
Court does have the power
to reverse the 1888 decision
which struck down the inter-
probation of the Fourteenth
Amendment upon which the
Civil Rights Act was based.
The court has the power,
for judicial purpose, to re-
store the correct interpreta-
ton Of the Fourteenth h
Amendment, even though
this correct Interpretation is
not embodied In a congress
Sional implementing statute
that is before it for a ruling
on constitutionality. The
court followed this course in
the school segregation case,
where it proceeded TO use a
new Interpretation of the
Fourteenth Amendment in
order to mvalidate State sys-
TENS Of segregated schools
and to enforce this judicial
invalidation by court process
eS without benefit Of a con-
greSSional enforcement stat
ute.
If the court were to adopt
this course in its decision on
the treSpaSs cases, 1t would
at one and the same time
dismiss the arrests as a use
Of State power to violate a
right guaranteed by the
Fourteenth Amendment; an
nounce that the owner of q
place Of public accommoda-
ton could not use "Self help"
in the form Of private "boun-
GERS" with the tolerance Of

tecting him from suits for

that Negroes las well as 9TH
erS) have a judicially enfor-
ceable right of equal treat
ment in places Of public ac-
commOdation. If such a deci-
sion were promulgated, Con-
greSs could then come along
with an enforcement statute.
But if Congress failed to pass
an enforcement statute, Ne
gro rights could be enforced
more or less satisfactorily by
the judicial process.
The approach presented
here contrasts sharply with
the suggestion put forward
by unthinking liberals (and
actually utilized in a Della
ware court deciSion) that the
Supreme Court should hold

world religions as commonly
classified, but also manifesto
tons of religious attitudes
which impinge upon cultural
contexts. Emphasis falls
upon Informative, apprecia-
tive, and critical purposes
rather than upon the stimula-
tiOn Of devotional attitudes or
the inducement to doctrinal
conformity"
Prof. Holbrook must defend
this point Of view from attack
from two directions. On the
one side, there are those who
assume that what Prof. Hol-
brook persists in calling ''reli-
giOn study" must inevitably
come down in the end to cat
echizing and who therefore
insist that it does not belong
on a college campus. So
On the other, there are
those who fear that this study
is bound to raise challenges to
their particular doctrinal ten
cts and in the long run dam
age religious faith.
Quality of Defense
The defense on the whole Is
closely organized and well
reasoned. But Prof. Holbrook
damages it unnecessarily by
insisting on the fantastic
notion that his opponents on
the first side adhere to a ''Re-
naissance Enlightenment
view of man.
He considers clerical oppo-
Sition inappropriate: ''RespOn-
Sibility for the students faith,
(the majority of teachers0
feels, cannot properly be
placed on the religion profess
SOr."
Though the discussion Of the
present state of religious
scholarship in academia may
be rather more intensive than
the general reader wants, the
basic sections of Prof. Hol-
brooks book should prove Of
wide interest.

Public Accommodations

public accommodation has
the right to discriminate but
cannot use the State police
power to enforce his right. A
decision in the treSpaSs cases
on this basis would indeed
free the Negro demonstrators
involved in these cases, but it
would accomplish this result
at the price Of producing
both moral confusion and
physical chaos. The decision
would sanctify. instead Of
condemning, the treatment
Of the Negro as an inferior
being. At the same time It
would encourage the resort
to private violence, as the
owners Of places of public ac-
commodation would hire pri-
vate 'bouncers" while the
demonstrators would use pri.
vate gangs in order to main
tain their Sit-inS.
In addition to foreStaNing
the moral confusion and
physical chaos that would at
tend the use Of the liberal
"gimmick" by the Supreme
Court, the approach advocat-
ed here would condemn and
make unnecessary the Stulti-
flying compromise embodied
in the proposed civil rights
package. I refer TO the provi-
sion that requires that Ne
groes should be treated as
men when they enter places
that substantially affect in
terState commerce, but only
as three fifths men" Ito
use the pre-emancipa
language of our original Con-
stitution) when they enter
local establishments. This Is
a compromise with vested
prejudice and vested injuS-
tice which would disgrace
the honor of this country
were it to be enacted into
law. But the compromise
would fall by the waySide If
the Supreme Court were pre-
viously to announce that Ne
groeS have an enforceable
right to be treated in all pla-
ces of public accommodation
as full human beings.
I earnestly urge the De-
partment of Justice to weigh
carefully this approach in
preparing its constitutional
brief.

THE POLITICAL MILL
An Opportunity for Justice
BY GOULD LINCOLN

q third candidate-that Is
for neither the Democratic
nor the Republican candi-
date-their action might
have the effect Of showing
the whole thing onto the
shoulders Of the House of
Representatives. In that case
q vote by the District Of
Columbia, along with those
Of the States would settle the
matter Of presidential elec.
tion-provided Of course,
that the vote Of the District
could be cast.
Just how this may be done
Is left up to Congress by the
Pell-proposed constitutional
amendment. Senator Pell, IN
q statement accompanying
his amendment said: "I wish
to make perfectly clear that
my resolution in no way re-
lates to the question of home
rule for the District. This re-
solution does not provide for
representation in either the
House or the Senate" Those
are matters, he said, for Con-
greSs to consider separately.
A Question &c
If the process Of amending
the Constitution Is to come
up, however, why should it
not deal with electing a
member or members of Con.
gress? Why should the peo-
pie of the National Capital be
denied representation in the
body which enacts all their
lawS-including levying taxes
on the residents Of the Dis
tr1ct? A voice and a vote In
the House and in the Senate
Is the proper way to deal
with the people in Washing.
ton, D. c. The fact that Con-
greSs has denied such a right
in the past Is no reason why
it should do so in the future.
The District has a greater
population than a considera-
bic number Of the States. II
pays into the Treasury In
Federal taxes far more money
than do q number Of the
States. The old cry Of no
taxation without representa-
ton" is as valid today as 1t
was back in the days of the
American colonies and the
Revolution. The adoption of
the 23d Amendment to the
Constitution rights in part
the injusticeS which have
been done the people Of the
National Capital over many
years. Unfortunately a provi-
sion for the election of rep
resentatives in Congress was
deleted from the amendment
before it was adopted by
Congress.
Amending the Constitution
is no simple job. It requires a
two-thirds vote Of both houses
Of Congress and ratifica-
ton by three-fourths Of the
States after it has been SUBJ
mitted to them. The justice
Of Senator Pell's proposed
amendment Is clear. It is Just
as clear that the amendment
should carry provision for
the District representation in
Congress. re-

For the first time In al
most IT'S years the people Of
the District Of Columbia are
to vote next year for q Presi-
dent and q Vice President Of
the United States. They will
be acting under the provi-
sions Of the 23d Amendment
to the Constitution and q law
passed by Congress to make
the voting rights effective.
Senator Claiborne PelI Of
Rhode Island has pointed out
to Congress-and also to the
people Of the District-that
should the election Of q Pres
ident and Vice President be
thrown into Congress, no
candidate having received a
majority Of the electoral
votes cast by the states-the
votes Of the people Of the
District would vanish into
thin air. Under the terms of
the 23d Amendment to the
Constitution, the District is
entitled to three votes in the
Electoral College. But the
District has no representa-
tive In Congress, no vote and
no voice there. And therein
lies the root of the trouble.
Senator Pell Is offering an
other amendment to the
Constitution and asking its
adoption by Congress and ra-
tification by the States. It
reads:
Section l. In electing the
President or the Vice Presi-
dent in those cases when
such an election shall de-
volve the House Of Represen-
tatives or the Senate, respec-
lively, the District constitut-
ing the seat Of government
Of the United States shall be
entitled to have one vote in
the House Of Representa-
tives. or two votes in the
Senate, as the case may be,
to be cast for the person to
be named by the electors ap-
pointed by the District.
Section 2. The Congress
shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate le-
gislation."
Has Happened Just Twice
The election Of a President
has been thrown into the
House Of Representatives
only in 1901 and 1925. It
does not seem probable that
such action will be necessary
