Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, Sept. 27 The entire world Is hoping and
praying for President Eisenhower's prompt and complete recovery
including all the leading Democrats and Communist Russians.
The latter, Incidently, sent some of the best phrased messages,
from the standpoint of good taste, in the vast collection. So one
touch of danger,' like one touch of nature, makes the whole
world kin.
It will be a different story when politics, domestic and In
ternational, enter the picture, which as Mr. Eisenhower continues
to improve, will become more and more apparent.
e
With the World Series starting, however, even politics is
adjourned for the week. In view of the records of the two
teams in the closing days, it is hard to see how the Yanks can
lose, but this may be the one time when the dope-bucket will
be turned upside down, and not in their favor. As usual here's
HOPING!
Speaking of sports, why doesn't some sport magazine feature
Chick Evans of. Chicago. He won the national amateur only a
few years after Chan Egan, but he is still playing golf. We don't
mean "older boys" golf either Evans is playing TOURNAMENT
golf, and usually in the 70's. Not the low 70's and sometimes in
the low 80's, but he is in there pitching all the time. We don't
know his exact age, but he certainly won't see 60 again. He
surely deserves some space. (That's one great asset golf has as
a sport, as long as you can walk you can play!)
Stanford may not have the best football coach In the country
but it has the most unusual one. His name is "Chuck" Taylor.
If he has EVER predicted his team would lose we failed to listen
in. After being beaten by Oregon State in one of the major up
sets of the season's opening, Stanford tangles with the 1954
Rose Bowl champions, "Ohio State," this coming Saturday.
But is "Chuck" down-hearted? Not for a minute. Although
beaten 10-0 by OSC he' thinks his boys played a good game
in the north, have a better team than the Beavers, and will dem
onstrate this to the world against Ohio State. If there is such a
thing as a football coach being TOO cheerful and optimistic, then
Stanford certainly has him.
Speaking of football the "pro" teams have a corner on the
game as it SHOULD he played. And now that "old college try"
spirit is not entirely absent either. The local "49'ers" were
beaten Sunday by the LA Rams to join in with other football
teams in one of the prize upset week ends of football history.
Quite a crowd of rooters came up from Los Angeles, cheered them
selves hoarse up at Kezar and a crowd of them paraded around
the lobby of this hotel (the Clift) afterward with Ram banners
flying, which took the writer back many years for those banners
were dark blue, the only difference being there was a "ram"
spelled in white instead of a big "Y."
The "pro" game will never crowd out the amateur game In
footbaJJ as has been the case in baseball, we believe, but no one
can deny the popular appeal of the former is increasing at a faster
rate at the present time.
There was an accident on the Powell Street cable car line
the other day several people injured but none seriously. As
usual the Incident has revived the demand In some quarters that
ALL cable cars here be abolished as dangerous and hopelessly
out-of-date. However, whenever the people of San Francisco
have had a chance to vote on TOTAL abolishment they have
voted "No." The undersigned hopes they will continue to do so.
We hope the street cars (without cables) will be retained also.
In short we don't like bus transportation here or anywhere else,
but particularly here. Without those cable cars jerking up and
down Nob Hill with bells clanging and passengers hanging on to
the side-rails, San Francisco wouldn't be San Francisco.
We have received a paid ad clipping dated September 21st
in which the "Friendly Southern Pacific" boasts, quote:
"Since World War II, the Southern Pacific has spent
many thousands of dollars to locate or expand 141 in
dustries in the area between Eugene-and Ashland. These
have been the backbone of the .area's growth and pros
perity." ,
, How generous and public-spirited!
Now will the Friendly Southern Pacific please advertise or
make public, at no cost, how many thousand dollars it spent and
also how many thousand dollars it has taken in?
According to the latest report,
present rate will total in round numbers $60,000,000. Would it
be too much to ask that the SP inform the customers in this area
how many millions in profit were taken out of the area from
Eugene to Ashland, where it claims the revenue is so scanty that
passenger service of any kind
That doesn't seem to be an unreasonable request to make. How
about it? R.W.R.
In The Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written a world
famous heart specialist has just
said that barring unforeseen
complications President Eisen
hower's prospects for recovery
from his heart attack are "rea
sonably" good.
The bulletin adds:
"Dr. White (the specialist) was
so satisfied with the progress of
the President that he left by
plane immediately for his home
in Boston."
THAT, I'M sure, is at this par
ticular moment the biggest
news in the world.
It is the biggest news in the
world because President Eisen
hower's condition is a matter of
deep PERSONAL concern to
every living human being. Ike
(used as a term of affection, and
not as a familiarity) has the re
spect and the confidence of
every person in the world in a
measure possessed by no other
leader.
WHY THIS universal love and
' respect for him?
Well, why do you love ana
respect him?
I think it is because you have
FAITH in him.
You believe that in every im
portant situation he will do the
thing he conceives to be RIGHT
and therefore best for his coun
try and mankind.
TKE IS America's leader.
America is the leader of the
world at this moment in history.
EVERYWHERE people recog
nize that if the world is to be led
out of war into peace, leader
ship of Ike's particular kind is
essential. If people are to be led,
they must be willing to follow.
People are willing to follow
leaders like Ike. They are will
ing to follow him because they
TRUST him.
IET'S INDULGE now in no
J political speculations. Let's
leave that to the professional
politicians, whose chief concern
is who gets what job, who will
hold the reins of power in the
days and the years to come. They
will do plenty of speculating in
any event.
What those of us who are
called THE PEOPLE are con-
Thursday, September 29. 1953
the SP profits for 1955 at the
can no longer be maintained.'
News
cerned with at this moment are
Ike's health and his prospects of
many more happy years. In the
hoped-for event that his recovery
is as complete as the heart spec
ialist who has been quoted says
is easily possible, Ike is entitled
to be the judge as to how he will
spend the years that may lie
ahead for him.
He is entitled to it because so
far his life has been devoted to
the welfare of his country and of
mankind. '
rpHERE IS proper interest, of
course, as to arrangements
for "carrying on" while Ike is in
disposed. That is routine. It will
be handled. It has been handled
before and will be handled now.
If the head of the business be
comes temporarily unable to
perform his daily duties, his as
sociates and his subordinates
carry on. Vice-President Nixon
says that as . to the technical de
tails of handling state affairs
while the President is temporar
ily unable to do so a legal inter
pretation will be needed from
Attorney General BrownelL
By "technical details," the
signing of important paper is
chiefly meant. One of the heavy
and wearing physical duties a
President of the United States
must perform is the signing of
HUGE STACKS of papers which
under the constitution and the
laws require the President's sig
nature. OUT ALL that has been done
before and can be done again.
It of course WILL be done.
On broad matters of national
policy, the - National Security
Council is our nation's chief pol
icy-making agency. The National
Security Council (which the
President heads) includes the
vice-president, the secretaries of
state and defense, the foreign aid
director, the mobilization direc
tor and other officers. The Pres
ident's cabinet is an all-important
policy-making body.
While President Eisenhower is
(we all fervently hope) recover
ing from his temporary ailment
the routine affairs of our gov
ernment will be carried on just
as the affairs of private business
organizations are carried on in
similar circumstances.

THE PRESIDENT'S ILLNESS
The President has been strick
en at a moment when he is at the
height of his popularity and his
power. He has
come to repre
sent the hope
of peace in the
world and the
unity of the
nation at
home. We are
left, his doc
tors tell us,
with some
Walter Lippmann days of anxi
ious uncertainty, and beyond
that with a task of carrying on
through his convalescence for
the rest of his term, and beyond
that with the problem of his suc
cession. We know that at the best he
cannot for several months be
expected to do the work of the
President We are, therefore,
face to face with what has be
come almost certainly through
a bad precedent based on mis
understanding a grave defect
of our constitutional system.
This is the lack of a clear rule
as to how the government is to
be conducted when the President
is ill. Almost certainly this de
fect will need to be corrected
now. There is no reason to doubt
that it can be corrected.
The root of the trouble is in a
grammatical ambiguity in the
text of the Constitution itself. It
says (Article II, Section 1,
Clause 6) that "in case of . . .
inability to discharge the powers
and duties of the said office, the
same shall devolve on the Vice-
President." The question is: to
what do the words "the same"
refer? Is it "the powers and
duties" of the office of President
which devolve on the vice-Pres-
ident? Or is it the office itself?
In other words, can the vice
President discharge temporarily
the powers and the duties of the
President without himself be
coming the President? Because
of this uncertainty no President
who was ill has ever allowed his
powers and duties to "devolve
even temporarily on the vice
President. For it was not cer
tain that he would still be Pres
ident if and when he recovered.
THIS ambiguity, which is due
to faulty grammar, can be
cured. There is very little doubt
as to what the autors of the Con
stitution meant, and what they
meant was what common sense
and practical convenience now
require. They meant that when
the President is incapacitated be
cause he is 'ill, his powers and
his duties, but not the office of
President, are to be. taken over
by the vice-President. The Vice
President does not become the
President But. he exercises the
powers and duties of the Presi
dent. For how long does he exer
cise them? "Until," says the
Constitution, "the disability be
removed," that is to say until
the President is well enough to
do his necessary work again.
There can be no serious doubt
that this is the way the Consti
tution ought to work. Yet, as we
know, it did not work that way
during the prolonged illnesses of
Garfield and of Wilson. Anyone
who remembers the obscurity,
the intrigue, and the confusion
during Wilson's incapacity will
wish to take no chance on its
being repeated today.
fViJS practical question is how
-a. "th nowers anrl rliitipc " Vint
not the "office" can in a seemly
way be made to devolve tempor
arily and constitutionally on
Vice-President Nixon. It is ob
vious that he cannot assume
those powers and duties on his
own initiative. How then is the
temporary delegation to be ef
fected?
The simplest procedure, it
would seem, would be for the
President to call Congress in
special session and to send it a
message saying that for the time
being he is unable to discharge
the powers and duties of his of
fice, and to ask that Congress by
concurrent resolution agree that
the powers and duties shall de
volve temporarily on the Vice-
President. That message can, of
course, be prepared for the
President. There is no reason to
suppose that he is so ill that he
could not sign it. This proce
dure would clear up once and for
all the ambiguity of the Consti
tution. Without some such for
mal action Mr. Nixon will be in
a most uncomfortable and con
fusing position.
The Vice-President, though he
acts as President pro tern, would
continue to be Vice-President.
He would not take the Presiden
tial oath of office, and there
would be no question at all but
that Mr. Eisenhower was the
President of the United States.
4 LTHOUGH it is most desir-
able, indeed necessary, that
the line of authority should be
made clear, the problem posed
Dy the President s illness re
mains a very serious one. There
is bound to be a vacuum where
he works so well as the repre
sentative and the leader of the
nation. This function of repre
sentation and of leadership is
inherent in the office of Presi
dent and of the man who fills
that office. It cannot be dele
gated. The best that can be ex
pected is that the Vice-President
when he is the acting President,
Tomorrow
Lippmann
will in the spirit as well as in
the letter feel bound in his pol
icies and program to act as his
conscience tells him President
Eisenhower would have acted.
We may suppose that power
of ultimate decision in the high
est matters of state will for the
time being be discharged by a
group, in effect a council of
state, consisting of the Vice
President, the senior Cabinet of
ficers, and the party leaders of
Congress. The country will, I be
lieve feel more secure if the
composition and the operations
of this group are not left to
chance or shrouded in obscurity.
The country will want to feel
sure that it knows how, during
the President's disability, it is
in fact being governed.

Problem of

social secretary.
King Idris of Libya followed
suit. He took his second wife on

GOP Urged To Slop
Talking Candidates
Los Angeles (U.R) A. J.
Gock,' former board chairman
of the Bank of America and a
state Republican leader, today
urged the GOP to stop discuss
ing possible presidential candi
dates during President Eisen
hower's illness.
"Any talk among Republicans
of candidacies or succession to
the presidency is presumptuous
and in very poor taste," said
Gock.
"No one, and this perhaps in
cludes the medical specialists,
can do anything other than spec
ulate as to the extent of the Pres
ident's fufture activities," Gock
said.

There was no barricade along

Matter of Fact By Joseph A bop
ADLAI AND DICK
Washington In Chicago at
the moment Adlai E. Stevenson
and his growing group of advis
ers and man
agers are still
arguing about
just when he
will make his
announcement,
about whether
to do it in a
press confer
ence or in his
scheduled
speech to
the Demo-
Joseph Also cratic National
Committee dinner on Nov. 19,
and about other such details.
But these customary activities
of an incipient candidate are
now going on in a wholly new
atmosphere. Long before Presi
dent Eisenhower was so tragic
ally stricken, Stevenson had
made up his mind to go all-out
for the Democratic nomination.
His intentions have not been

Moslem
way from Cairo, Egypt, to Ma
nila in the Philippines.
Palace Stoned
The palace in which Soekarno
maintained wife No. 2 was
stoned. Shouting women demon
strated outside Ali's home.
It was all a just problem for
the Moslem husbands and wives
to fight out until Mohammed
Ali brought wife No. 2 to the
United States and wife No. 1 fol
lowed him.
That presents a problem for
American and United Nations of
ficials and hostesses. Should
they recognize wife No. 1 or wife
No. 2 or both? It happens that
Mohammed All was ambassador
here once before. Then he had
only one wife. She was. one of
the most popular women in the
diplomatic, corps.
Ali was premier when he re
married. Now he is out of the
prime ministry and back here
as ambassador and chief U. N.
lelegate.
J. he plural wives problem
seems to have arisen first be
cause leaders in some newly-
liberated Moslem countries de
emed to go old fashioned as re
gards marriage.
Step Backward ' .
But this problem assumed the
proportions of a social crisis in
the Moslem world because the
women . are.: determined to win
complete, sex equality. They
want to go forward, not back
ward. Soekarno must have been sur
prised when he started it all. He
married secretly, and the news
leaked out only weeks after-
Ward.
TT 1
"omens organizations pro
tested to nun, to his cabinet and
to Parliament There was a call
for a world congress of Moslem
wives to demand that plural
marriages be legally banned.
Before Mohammed Ali remar
ried, it was disclosed that two
of his cabinet ministers had
taken second wives. Apparently
tie determined to follow their
example.
King Idris is the only one who
can give a real excuse. He is
66. His first wife has borne him
no children. He holds that as a
monarch he must beget an heir.

changed in any particular by the
President s illness. His pros
pects, however, have been trans
formed overnight.
The reason for this transfor
mation can be found in the politi
cal polls. Only a little more
than three months ago, the in
quiring Dr. Gallup tested public
sentiment toward a long series of
possible Presidential candidates.
His results showed Stevenson
being roundly beaten by Eisen
hower, by a margin of 57 to 40.
But the same results also showed
Stevenson trouncing the man
who is now the leading Republi
can possibility, Vice President
Richard Nixon, by a margin of
56 to 35.
It is fashionable; of course, to
mock the pollster. No doubt
they deserve mockery. But
rightly or wrongly, the practical
fact remains that the pollsters
have acquired very great politi
cal influence. The late Senator
Robert A. Taft surely would
have received the Republican
nomination in 1948 or 1952, if
the polls had not run so consist
ently against him. The politi
cians wanted Taft, but the polls
made him look like a loser.
What has given the great fillip
to Stevenson's candidacy is the
simple fact that he no longer
looks like a loser. Instead, with
a second term for President
Eisenhower beyond the bounds
of practical discussion, Stevenson
now looks like a winner.
He will have hard competition,
most probably from Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. If
he does not perform well as an
avowed candidate, he may get
even more serious competition
from Gov. Averell Harriman of
New York. Every other aspiring
Democrat will also be longing to
jump into the race. But Steven
son Is still front-runner. And if
the front-runner also looks like a
winner, he generally gets the
nod. In other words, while his
competition will be tougher,
Stevenson automatically has be
come a stronger competitor. That
is the simplest summary.
'Meanwhile, the depth and
darkness of the Republican
dilemma is also revealed by the
same polls. They showed Chief
Justice Earl Warren running
exactly even with Stevenson,
the politicians agree with the
pollsters that Warren would be
the strongest Republican nomi
nee.
But the Chief Justice has re
moved himself from considera
tion in the strongest statement
he was able- to write. Those
close to him say that his oppo
sition to putting the . Supreme
Court into politics would not be
overcome by a personal appeal
from President Eisenhower
himself. If Warren is out there
fore, the next place among Republican-
possibilities certainly
must be accorded to Richard
Nixon. The Vice President has
the affection of the President,
which certainly will count for
much, and may win the day for
him. He has a great position, in
which his duties now will be
come more important than ever.
Among the Republican politi
cians with truly national stand
ing, there can be very little
doubt that Nixon bulks largest
after Eisenhower in the public
eye.
Yet as of this writing, Nixon
has got to perform two feats that
will be all the more difficult be
cause the performance must be
simultaneous. First of all, he
must secure the Republican nom
ination against angry and em
bittered rivals, not the least of
whom are the two men, Sen.
William Knowland and . Gov.
Goodwin Knight, who control
the Republican organization in
Nixon's home state of California.
It will not be hard for Nixon
to get the nomination, to be sure,
if President Eisenhower publicly
sponsors him, as Theodore Roos
evelt sponsored William Howard
Taft But if the President does
not sponsor, the Vice President
cannot go all-out for the nomina
tion. As Eisenhower's highest
subordinate, Nixon needs Eisen
hower's approval before he can
open campaign headquarters or
launch into the other usual activ-

Was It A Ghost?
GEO. N. TAYLOR
It was a wild night on the sea
of Galilee. The hard - muscled
fishermen who followed Jesus,
strained at the
Dars as they
Ducked the
bl as t, their
little craft ris-
ing and falling
with the heav
ing sea. Then a
something, all
in white comes
Award them.
Hear their cry
a ghost a
zhost. N o w it
is hid in the trough of the sea.
Again it is lifted and turns to
ward the boat. But it is no ghost
It is Christ. Hear His greeting
It is I; be of good cheer." He
entered into the boat and at His
word, the wind and the waves
obeyed His will and quiet
reigned.
And just as Jesus quieted the
wind and the waves, so He
stands to quiet your troubled
heart. But down within, you
must believe in Him as your
Lord and Saviour. At that God
gives you eternal life. "For with
the heart, man believeth unto
righteousness" Romans 10:10.
