WASHINGTON, - Soviet Pre-

believe that the time is at hand
for peace on earth, despite his
announced policy Of peaceful

The Russian Communist lead

Of peace, fatty refuses to in

proposed disarmament treaty
now under consideration by U.
S.-Soviet negotiators.
In the backstage preparatory
talks for the coming Geneva dis
armament negotiations next
month, Soviet delegates h ave
denounced U. S. in~sistence on
inclusion Of the "in a peaceful
world" phrase as an effort to
"retard natural, historical pro-
cesses taking place In society"
This adamant Russian stand
has not only deadlocked the
preliminary negotiations but Is
casting a dark shadow over Pre-
mier Khrushchev's friendly ges-
lures of cooperation with the
new Johnson administration.
Already, President johnson
has concluded that Khrushchev,
by taking this unbudging stand,
has no intentions Of abandoning
his policy Of aiding what he
calls wars Of national liberia
tion," which the Communists are
waging in Africa, Asia and Latin
America.
Unless khruShchev backs
down on his stand, President
Johnson plans to reject the So
Wet leaders request to raise the
coming Geneva talks to the
level of a foreign ministers

to handle.
What Is needed, Of course, is
a new vice president immediate
ly that there Is a vacancy in
that office. He should be select
ed by Congress from Its own
membership, and probably
would always be a leader OF
his party. He would then go
in training for the Presidency
in his capacity as vice presi-
dent. He would, as in the past,
succeed at once to the Presi-
dency in an emergency. But
he would presumably be a man
trained in leadership by his
experience in the post to which
he had previously been elected
by the members Of his own
party in either house. Under
a plan, the selection could be
made from either the House or
the Senate, and the choice
would be by majority vote of
the members of both houses,
who themselves have been
elected by the people.

The current system has long
been dicussed but no action
has been taken by Congress,
though several proposed amend

considered by congressional
committees.
Unfortunately, Article ii Of
the Constitution is not clear. II
says that "the Congress may
by law provide for the case of
removal, death, resignation or
inability, both of the president
and vice president, declaring

WASHINGTON, - Much talk
is being heard today and Seri-
GUS consideration is being given
here to what may soon become
a major issue throughout the
country. For the nation has sud-
denly come to realize that is
has no vice president.
It's true there is a line Of sue
cession to the presidency, but
both the Speaker of the House
and the President Pro Tenn Of
the Senate have their own du-
ties to perform and cannot give
their time now to all the tasks
performed by a vice president.
In short, nobody today is in
training to take over the presi-
dency in an emergency.
Senator Jacob Javits of New
York, Republican, has com
forth with a proposal that a
constitutional amendment be ad.
opted authorizing a joint ses-
sion Of the two houses of con-
gress to elect a vice president
the moment a vacancy in that
office occurs. But the defect in
his proposal is that it would
permit either a member of con-
gresS or a cabinet officer to be
chosen. No cabinet member,
however, is placed in office
by the vote Of the people.
The reason why so many
persons have brushed aside
their worries over the recent
change in the presidency is that
Lyndon Johnson became Vice
President after he had served
the preceding eight years as
majority leader Of the Senate.
Confidence in him arises today
out Of the fact that he has
demonstrated in a position of
leadership in Congress skill in
handling national and interna-
tional problems. But would the
people have the same confidence
today if three weeks ago the
successor to President Kennedy
had been a cabinet officer, with
little knowledge Of the problems
OF the executive branch except
the operations of his own de-
partment and with no overall
familiarity with legislative ques-
tons?
The fact is that the present
law Of succession is inadequate
and perhaps even dangerous. It
provides no method Of select
ing a vice president. The exist
ing law merely designates the
Speaker of the House and the
presiding officer Of the Senate
to be next in line when a va
cancy occurs in the presidency,
to be followed by members Of
the cabinet in a specified order.
No reference is made to a va
cancy in the vice presidency.
a return to the law prior to
1947 = which put cabinet mem
berS in direct line ahead of any
one in Congress = would be
desirable, but this is opposed
In both the Senate and the
House, where the feeling is that
the selection itself should be
made by the peoples elected
representatives in Congress.
To choose, as is proposed by
some, an acting president and
wait an interval of even
d few months for a general
election would produce deep I'M

adversary to precipitate a cris-

Scandal in conjecture is always worse
than scandal disclosed. If there really

must be a solidarity based on candidness

We hope the backgrounders are wrong,

Whereupon both he and his

they were to remain for twenty

While Cantave was in pri-

and without any more food
than they can Scrounge up.
Maybe it was realism for the
U. S. to clamp down on the
anti-Castro Cubans who might
have helped General Cantave
get rid Of the Haitian tryant.
If Castro had been provoked in
to action, Haiti might now be
an appendage to Communist
Cuba. But as Cantave sees
it, the point about Bosch still
holds. He was an indecisive
man. That is why he was de-
posed as President of the Dom
inican Republic.

His calling card reads simply
lie General Cantave." In his
native Haiti, where he recent
ly led an abortive uprising
against Dictator Francois DIVA
lier and the ferociouS palace
guard Of Ton Ton Macoutes, or
~"Bogymen," it is not neces-
Sary to inform anybody that he
is General Leon Cantave, a man
of resource and courage.
Now in the United States,
"Le General" has a hair-rais-
ing story to tell, and perhaps it
sheds a great deal of light on
why the U. S.-supported Juan
Bosch, recently deposed Presi-
dent Of the Dominican Repub-
lie, could not hold on to his
power. Bosch, who lived in fear
of his local Communists, ap-
parently could not follow
through with a decision if it in
any way happened to offend the
extreme Leftists in his own
encourage.
Last summer General Can
tave, who had opposed the Du-
Waller grab for dictatorial pow
er in Haiti, proposed to Bosch
that an expedition to overthrow
the savagely repressive Haitian
regime might advantageously be
set in motion from Dominican
bases. BaSch, according to the

terpartS when the late Senator
Robert Taft sought the Republican
nomination. 1t will be remembered
how that group said over and over
that while Senator Taft was a
great and good man and fully
qualified, he just couldn't win.
The saboteurs now engaged in
the anti-G oldwater endeavor say
that things have changed so dras-
tically in recent weeks that Gold
water may withdraw from the race
for the nomination. This line OF
reasoning is based on their pre-
mise that President johnson will
carry the South for the Democrats
although Goldwater would have
won Dixie against Kennedy. How
ever, President Johnson may have
taken himself out of the race in
the South. It will be well remem-
bered - and recalled with en-
phasis - that as the Vice Presi-
Dental candidate in 1860, Mr.. John
SOL pointedly noted that despite a
Texas background he wasn't a
"Southerner" but, rather, a West
erner. He has since boosted of his
role as head of President Kenne-
dy's own FEPC and how much in
~tegration he has achieved. He has
Dragged of his service in passing
the first civil rights legislation in
100 years and vowed to get still
more through Congress. Just be-
cause Mr. Johnson is from Texas,
a dubious geographical advantage,
is no reason to expect that he will
carry the South as the Democratic
Presidential candidate in 1864.
MOTIVATION
Most of the people so engrossed
in l~ow-rating Senator Goldwater
and appraising at the same time
the wishes and inclination of the
Southern electorate are motivated
by a desire to have someone other
than Goldwater as the COP nomi-
nee. Nearly all of them are East
erners and taking the pulse of the
country the way they want it to
turn out because Goldwater is a
conservative. They say only a lib
eral can win. That's what we don't
want and believe the South gen.
orally doesn't want. We would like
to have a choice-for and against.
If Senator Goldwater is nominated
the people who don't like a liberal
will have a choice. We hope like
minded people don't become dis
couraged and that they will persist
in efforts urging Goldwater to

will have a chance to vote for him
in 1864.
We agree that as of now Presi-
dent Johnson might not be- as easy
to beat as Kennedy if he were still
alive and the balloting near. But
much can change between now and
November 1864 and we anticipate
that it will, particularly if the peo-
pie r given a real choice instead
of there being little difference be-
tween the candidates. It looks also
as if those groups trying to manip-
ulate this indifference business
don't want the voters to have that
choice because they are afraid of
the outcome. History shows that
the 'me-too" candidate rarely wins
over an incumbent.
