WHO CAN DO WHAT?
Brownell Faces Problem
Of Delegation of Authority
WASHINGTON (*» Atty. Gen.
Brownell suggested Tuesday
President Eisenhower may be
able to perform all his essential
duties again before it becomes
necessary to delegate them to
someone else.
The first problem laid before j
the attorney general as he hur
ried back from a vacation in
Spain was the one of delegation
of powers—that is. who should
perform needed executive func
tions if Eisenhower is unable to
do so?
On his arrival here, after be
ing briefed by two top aides on
the plane trip from New York.
Brownell discounted the urgency j
of the situation.
News Encouraging
“The Denver news today is en
couraging." he said, referring to
reports that Eisenhower, stricken
by a heart attack last Saturday,
had a very good night" Monday
night. A later bulletin said the
President was “comfortable and
cheerful" and had spent much of
the morning outside his oxygen
tent.
Brownell said there was gen-'
eral agreement that there was no
need for any action Tuesday on
the question of delegating execu
tive powers.
Brownell had indicated to news,
men in New York earlier that he
would prepare an opinion as
quickly as possible on the ques
tion of delegating the President's
powers. Such opinions are his
responsibility as the executive
branch’s top legal official.
I.aw Not Clear
Most students agree that the
Constitution is not clear on what
is to be done in the event a
president is unable to perform
executive functions for an ap
preciable period of time.
Chairman Celler (D-NY rof the
House Judiciary committee said
in New York the question is one
for Congress to answer. He said
neither Vice-President Nixon nor
the White House "palace guards"
has authority to act.
In the absence of any formal
opinion from Brownell. Nixon
continued to shoulder some of the
burdens, conferring with top

administration officials about
what he termed "government
affairs."
The vice-president talked also
with chairman Leonard W. Hall
of the Republican National com
mittee. who declined comment
when newsmen asked him if he
thinks Eisenhower should seek a
second term. The President had
indicated before the attack Sat
urday that his health would be
one factor influencing his deci
sion.
Attends Luncheon
A little later Nixon attended a
luncheon with Brownell. Secre
Bargain Buyers Bring
Raise in Stock Market
After Big Fall Monday
NEW YORK (API—Investors
in search of bargains poured
hundreds of millions of dollars
into the stock market Tuesday,
sending prices up SI to So a
share in the wake of Monday’s
sensational decline.
Monday’s fall, occasioned by
news that President Eisenhower
had suffered a heart attack,
wiped nearly 13 billion dollars
from the market valuation of
shares listed on the New York
stock exchange. Tuesday's re
covery retrieved almost 31+ bil
lions of the loss.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks, down §11.40 Mon
day in the widest break since
Oct. 28, 1929, advanced §2.90
Tuesday, closing at §173.00. Thus,
roughly 25 per cent of the de
cline was made up.
Result of Good News
The upturn was credited by
Wall Streeters to good news on
the President’s condition and to
a feeling that Monday’s drop was
overdone — that is. that share
prices went down too sharply un
der the influence of emotional
selling.
Tuesday, prices were generally
higher from the start, but con
tinued heavy liquidation, in a
large part by small stockholders,
held gains to moderate propor
tions all monring. So great was
the turnover—much of it in 100
share lots—that for an uninter
rupted three hours and 16 min
utes, the ticker tape ran behind i
in reporting transactions on the
floor of the exchange.
The tape caught up with deal
ings in early afternoon and pres
ently a vigorous rally got under
way and shore prices moved up
easily.
Tape Falls Behind
Again, the ticker tape ftll be
hind. so great was the demand
for shares. The tape lagged once
more at the close, when prices
were around their best levels of
the day.
Volume for the session was ab
normally large at 5.500,000
shares. However, Monday saw
7,720.000 shares change hands in
the most active day since July
21, 1933.
Among the big gainers Tues
day were: General Motors up
$4.62 a share at $39.62, Gen
eral Foods up $3.75 at $79.75,
DuPont $4.62 at $219.62, Union
Carbide $3.12 at $106.20. Stand
ard Oil NJ $3.37 at $133.37. Ana
conda $4 at $71.12. Phils Dodge
$4.75 at $57, Chrysler $2.37 at
$95,50, and Bethlehem Steel $2.37
at $152.37, U. S. Gypsum, down
$33.25 a share Monday, regained
$22.50 Tuesday to close at $305.
Places also advanced on the
American stock exchange. In
London, the market steadied
after declining Monday irt an
ticipation of a drop in U. S. stock
markets. Toronto and Montreal
exchanges also saw higher prices.
In Paris, a firmer tone was in
evidence.

Nixon said the session in
volved government affairs, and
Brownell told newsmen when it
broke up after an hour and 45
minutes that "I wanted to be
brought up to date."
Another caller at Nixon's of
fice Tuesday morning was Bud

who told newsmen the confer

Poland Envoy
Criticizes Dulles
About 'Satellite'
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y
I APi Poland's chief U. N. dele
gate Tuesday rapped Secretary
of State Dulles for alleging that
Eastern European countries are
satellites of the Soviet Union.
The delegate, Marian Nasz
kowski, deputy minister for for
eign affairs, appealed in the U.
N. Assembly for more of the
“Geneva spirit.” He said the idea
of co-existence between coun
tries with different systems is
gaining ground.
Dulles told the assembly last
Thursday Soviet intentions would
be judged partly on Soviet ac
tions toward the Eastern Euro
pean countries. Dulles and Presi
dent Eisenhower long have ad
vocated freedom for the foi trier
Baltic republics and freedom of
choice of government for peoples
of the Eastern European coun
tries.
Eliminate Issiifs
Naszkowski called for concrete
steps to eliminate controversial
issues. In this connection, he said,
"repeated references" such as
those of Dulles in the U. N. “to
the alleged ‘problem’ of the Fast
European countries” did not con
tribute to an atmosphere of re
laxation and confidence.
He 'said the days are gone for
ever when the countries of East
ern Europe could be used as
pawns by "certain forces in in
ternational politics.” Poland and
the other countries of the peo
ple's democracy now have full po
litical and economic sovereignty,
he said.
Following Fine
Taking the line laid down by
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
in the Assembly, Naszkowski
called for a treaty of collective
security in Europe as the way to
ward a settlement of the prob
lem of Germany.
He said Poland is interested in
establishing good neighborly re
lations with the “German nation
as a whole” and Poland stands
for peaceful normalization of its
relations with the German Fed
eral Republic. Moscow has set
up diplomatic relations with
Bonn and Poland appears ready
to do the same.
Naszkowski also called for
deeds on disarmament. Molotov
said Russia is taking 640.000 men
off its armed forces and other
countries ought to do the same.
Naszkowski said Poland is cut
ting 47,000 from its armed
roster.
