Vice-Presidency Changes
Vice-President Richard Milhous Nixon has inevit
ably achieved more responsibility in Washington now
that President Eisenhower probably won't return
there before 1956. Thus Mr. Nixon is filling a role
that the framers of the Constitution must have expect
ed a vice-president to fill.
A FTER all, until the 12th Amendment went into ef
feet in 1804, the vice-president would be the man
who had received the second highest number of elec
toral votes for president The first and second vice
presidents became, respectively, the second and third
presidents. Although the next five vice-presidents
didn't make the White House, they were all outstand
ing figures, and then the eighth, Van Burean, was
elected president.
Most of the ensuing vice-presidents up to the Civil
war, though perhaps not of the highest Presidential
stature, were men of parts. But the next eight, from
1869 through 1897, were distinguished chiefly for
amiability or popularity with a party faction.
THEN comes a mixed picture. Some later vice-presi-
dents were of high and tested talents; some
well, there were Charles W. Fairbanks in 1905, James
S. Sherman in 1909, Thomas R. Marshall in 1913,
Charles Curtis in 1929, Henry A. Wallace in 1941. In
1904 the Democrats nominated for vice-president a
man over 80 (Henry G. Davis of West Virginia) and
in 1924 one (Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska) who
even Democrats admitted didn't know the score.
Says former Vice-President Harry S. Truman in his
current memoirs: "The opportunities afforded by the
vice-presidency ... do not come they are there to be
seized . . . The vice-president's influence on legislation
depends on his personality and ability, and especially
the respect which he commands from the Senators.
Here is one instance in which it is the man who makes
the office, not the office the man." E.R.R.
What To Do For Elderly
A three-day state conference on what to do about
the olderly and aged is scheduled to open in Albany,
N.Y. this week. Gov. Averill Harriman has a special
adviser on the many-sided problem, and the state leg
islature has set up a joint legislative committee on it.
When it comes to finding ,a job, says the gover
nor's old-acre adviserPhilip M. Kaiser, many a man
finds to his dismay that he is considered "aged" when
he reaches 45 or even 40. The line is sometimes drawn
at as low as 35 for a woman.
THE U. S. Department of Labor insists that middle
" aged workers as a whole can and do give general
satisfaction. What they may lack in physical robust
ness they may more than compensate for in reliability,
perhaps in higher skills. But many an employer sees
only that pensions, under private old-age retirement
plans, can cost more for employees who have not put
in long years of service for him. -
For men and women who've passed 65, all the ger
ontologists (experts in problems of the elderly) agree
that some form of occupation helps to keep up mental
health. Involuntary idleness tends to lower it. And it
is surprising to find how many kinds of useful light
jobs can be filled by the elderly with profit to every
body concerned. E.R.R. .
National Olympic Day
Saturday, Oct. 22, is National Olympic day, by
resolution of Congress and proclamation of President
Eisenhower. Athletic groups will use the day to solicit
funds to send United States teams to the Winter
Olympic games at Cortina d'Ampesso in the Dolo
mites of Italy next Jan. 26-Feb. 5 and to the regular
Olympics at Melbourne, Australia, ten months later.
The resolution of Congress calls on all of us to "in
sure that the United States will be fully and adequate
ly represented." Between these lines can be read the
realization of U. S. athletes that the Soviet Union is
feverishly preparing to defeat this country in the
1956 Olympic contests.
THE United States always wins the track and field
section. In 1952 at Helsinki it won 14 of the 25
events and had more than three times the score, in the
unofficial point system, of its closest competitor, Swe
den. But we are often surpassed in total points when
the winter Olympics are added in and also such events
as water polo, soccer, weight lifting, bicycling, wrest
ling, horsemanship, gymnastics.
The modern Olympic Games were revived in 1896
to help promote better international understanding
through the devotion of youth to athletics. But often
the Olympic rivalries have evoked some hostility, in
stead it may be noted that each contestant takes
an oath to participate not only for "the glory of sport"
but also for "the honor of our country." E.R.R.

micXha Community's Biggest Marketplace
HUMPHREY FOR WARREN
Chicago The gradual unveil
ing of the intentions of key in
dividuals is always the most ex
citing process
in any con
fused political
situation, such
as the situa
tion which has
been tragically
created by the
Pre si dent's
heart attack.
Last Mon
day, a major
unveiling oc-
Joaeph Also , curred in Chi
cago. The occasion was the fund
raising dinner of the Republican
Citizens' Finance Committee, at
which Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey was the
chief speaker. After the dinner
the Citizens' Committee chair
man, Charles Percy of the Bell
and Howell Company, gave a
party at which Secretary Hump
hrey met a selct group of the
larger Republican contributors.
It was here
that the un
veiling of
H umph rey
took place. In
evitabley, the
other guests
wanted to
know which
candidate
Hum p hrey
would fayor
if President
Eisen h o w e r Stewart Alsop
should decide not to run again.
Without any beating about the
bush, Humphrey answered that
he thought Chief Justice Earl
Warren would be the strongest
and best choice of the Republican
party could make, although,
Humphrey added, "Warren will
be very hard to get." . "
Despite its private ' and In
formal character, this Humphrey
declaration for Warren has the
highest significance. In his own
big state of Ohio, Humphrey
comes close to being the behind-the-scenes
boss of the Republic
an organization. All over the
country, the businessmen who
form the dominant Republican
group look to Humphrey for
leadership and will follow where
he leads.
In the White House, above all,
Humprey has more influence
with the President than any
other man except. Gov. Sherman
Adams. And Humhprey also has
great influence with Gov. Ad
ams, with whom he long ago
formed a quiet personal alliance.
TOR THE immediate future,
the White House is where
Humphrey's choice is likely to
count most. It sticks out a mile
that he have passed over Vice-
President Richard Nixon, who is
a supremely available Republic
an candiate, in favor of the
Chief Justice, who has publicly
declared that he is absolutely
unavailable. It seems fair to in
terpret this as meaning that
Humphrey dislikes the idea of
the Nixon candidacy. It prob
ably also means that Humprey's
partner, Adams, share this dis
like of the Nixon candidacy.
If these two are not convert
ed to the Nixon candidacy, more
over, it is a 2-to-l bet that the
President will not give the Vice
President any laying on of
hands.
Nixon would be a certain
nominee with the President's
blessing. He will still be the
leading Republican hopeful but
his future will become the op
posite of certain if no blessing is
forthcoming. What holds true for
Nixon, furthermore, also holds
true with even greater force
for the lesser Republican hope
fuls on the Eisenhower team,
such as the eager, hard-breathing
Harold Stassen. . ,
On the positive side, the im
plications of the Humphrey
choice are equally great. Always
assuming that Humphrey and
Adams are still acting together,
it quite probably means that
the President will be persuaded
to intervene to get Chief Justice
Warren into the race.
One could easily imagine what
the President might say. He
gave Warren the Chief Justice
ship; and what he gave he can
claim the right to take 'away,
in favor of a higher duty. He
has been forced to leave unfin
ished an immense national task;
and he can also claim the right
to designate the man who is to
finish that task. And on a low
er level, he can hint that he has
no alternative to Warren except
Dick Nixon and there are few
men the Chief Justice dislikes
and distrusts as much as the
Vice-President.
There is no precedent for this
kind of an appeal, by an ill,
outgoing and loved President to
a Chief Justice who is also his
appointee. But in this very iffy
situation, the biggest if of all
still concerns the Chief Justice's
response to this kind of a Presi
dential appeal if it happens to
be made.
Last ' spring, for instance,
when Eisenhower was talking
as though he did not mean to
run again, two old friends with
great influence in the Republic
an party went to see the Chief
Justice with politics in mind.
THEY pleaded with him to
let them present his name
to the convention. He refused.
They then 'asked him to say that
if nominated, he would consent
to run. He refused with even
greater emphasis. Finally, accord
ing to reports, the Chief Justice
revealed what had passed be
tween him and his two friends
to his . fellow Justices, stating
that he wanted them to know
exactly where he stood. -
This incident is deeply im
pressive in itself. A little later,
a poll showing Warren in the
lead among all Republican cand
idates except Eisenhower pro
duced his Sherman-like state
ment that "under no circum
stances" would he consider re
turning to active political life.
Altogether it seems very doubt
ful that even the President can
"get" the Chief Justice in George
Humphrey's special phrase.
In other words, the news of
George Humphrey's choice clar
ifies important areas in the ex
isting political pattern, but it by
no means permits a positive
forecast of the results the pat
tern will finally produce.
Coty Warns Fellow
French Leaders To
End Political Spree
KV( 'If
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
President Rene Coty has giv
en his fellow French leaders an
earnest warning that they had
better end
their long
political spree.
Unless they
do, he told
them France is
going to lose
its position as
a world pow
er. He said that
P a r 1 i a-
tnaries Mccaao mem must end
a situation in which a French
premier is harassed and torment
ed from the moment he takes
office until he resigns or is over
thrown. The sole situation, he said, is
radical constitutional reform
which will give France the pol
itical stability it has lacked for
40 years. '
In giving his admonition, Coty
stepped aside from his accust
omed role.
The role in that of a non-political
chief of state. Coty is not a
chief executive. His job more
nearly approximates that of
Queen Elizabeth II than that of
President Eisenhower.
Coty gave his warning in a
speech Saturday. He had in mind
the fact that Edgar Faure,
France's 21st premier since the
end of World War II, faces a
critical vote of confidence today.
Coty must have thought deeply
before he spoke. He usually is
content to remain in the back
ground, as he is supposed to do,
as the 16th president of the
French Republic.
He presides over Cabinet
meetings and he formally ap
points France's premiers. He also
is chief- of the armed forces.

Interesting note in the news:
In the first eight months of
1S55, the people of Oregon
bought $31,853,593 worth of
U.S. savings bonds. In the sim
ilar period of 1954, their savings
bond purchases amounted to
to $24,287,061.
That is an UP of 29 per cent.
THERE is a general impression
over the country .that that
people are spending their money
faster than they get it that
is to say, that they are putting
more on the cuff in the way of
installment payments than they
are getting in the way of in
creased earnings.

Fears Calmed
At Kohler Plant
Sheboygan, Wis. (U.R) . Un

calming fears of possible labor

Gov. Walter Kohler had warn

CIO United Auto Workers inter
fered with the unloading of the
Norwegian motorship Divinia
Monday. -
But the strikers and their sym
pathizers headed a union plea
not to mass at the dockside or
hinder the unloading in any
way. No picket lines were estab
lished, although about 100 per
sons gathered some distance
away. -
Two sister ships of the Divinia
were expected to dock here soon
with more clay shipments.
Kohler had issued the Nation
ai uuarci warning because a
crowd of 1,000 demonstrators
prevented the unloading of a
shipment last summer. The
strike at the plumbingware
plant in nearby Kohler began
April 5, 1954, and is the nation's
longest major walkout.

No Bitter Enemies ;
Coty was elected President on
Dec. 23, 1953, for a seven-year
term. He is eligible for one more
term. He was elected, like nu
merous other French presidents,
because he was not an outstand
ing political leader and hence
had no bitter enemies. IV-' '
He had succeeded in remain
ing in politics for 30 years with
out becoming well-known, even
in France. '
Coty is an unassuming, solid

body, a square face, jug ears
and a direct, honest manner. His
tastes run to classical literature
and music. His only exercise is
walking.
He will celebrate his golden

'Fired' by Emperor

had "fired" South Viet Nam
Premier Ngo Dinh Diem who has
called a referendum in an ef

An estimated 3,000,000 South
Viet Namese will vote Sunday
on whether to oust the absentee
Emperor or the prime minister.
Diem is expected to win a re
sounding vote of public confi

Bao Dai announced that he
has withdrawn the mission he
gave Diem 18 months ago and
that the ."full powers given the
Roman Catholic premier has
been cancelled."
The Emperor apparently was
making a last desperate effort
to maintain at least some sem

determined to force him out.
