WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Congress probably will strike out in its effort to establish rules under which an in c a p a c i t ated president could be removed from office. The Consti tution merely provides that the powers and duties of the p r e s i dency shall go to the vice president Lyle C. Wilson if the head man is unable to discharge them. That is mere authority, however, for such to take place. Legislation is necessary to MEDFORDeltiTBraUNE rpdDimrs Mayo Smith Aims To Get Phils Off To Better Start (This is another in a series of interviews by United Press stafers with the major league managers on their prospects for 1956.) By CHARLES TALYOR Lake Worth, Fla. (U.R) Mayo Smith can't forget that his fourth place Phillies gained more ground than any team in the National League after July 4 last season, and his big objective this year will be to get them off to a better start. The Phils were "floundering around" in seventh place on the mid-season holiday and Smith in his first year as a big league pilot was wishing he had a nice easy job as pilot of a rocket ship to the Moon instead. But before doom enveloped the shaky Quakers completely, they straightened out and finish ed a strong fourth. e This year he is convinced things, will be better from the start but he isn't predicating any pennant or spectacular finish be cause he still is experimenting and revamping. Knotty Problems Right no.v, Smith said, the knottiest problems are finding a lefthand hitting outfielder some new pitching talent and a solid shortstop-second base com bination. He also is contemplat ing a big change at first base. "We may move Stan Lopata from catcher to first base," he said. "I think San would be a better hitter playing first." Lopata whacked 21 homers last season, but played behind the plate except for a brief try at first near the end of the season. - The move would leave Andy Seminick and Gus Niar hos to share the catching chores. The infield trouble started last season when Smith moved Bobby Morgan from second to short because of an injury and shifted Granny Kansner from short to second Hitting Trouble Both Morgan and relief short stop Roy Smalley fiad trouble with their hitting after the move. In the outfield, Smith wants the left-handed hitter to go with league batting champ Richie Ashburn, who bats left handed. Smith also is hoping Jim Green- EOCE Clips OCE Quintet occ STANDINGS Eastern Oregon ...

Eastern Oregon appears more and more as the team to beat in the Oregon Collegiate Con ference basketball race. The Mountaineers two-timed Oregon College of Educatipn Friday and Saturday nights at La Grande, edging out a nar row 85-84 verdict on the open ing night, then coming back with an ' easier 88-82 decision Saturday. . In the other end of the league's action, Portland State and Southern Oregon College divided the two-night stand at Ashland,, the Vikings coming back to win the Saturday game 80-78 after being dropped the previous night by an 87-70 count. Pacific Wins3 Action in the Northwest Con ference was limited over the week end with only two games scheduled. Lewis and Clark and Willanftte fought to a standstill in the -regulation playing time Saturday night at Salem but the Pioneers came back strong in an overtime period to drop Willamette, 82-76. Pacific, holding down second place in the conference stand ings, had little trouble handling Linfield at Forest Grove in the only other game scheduled. The Badgers took an early lead and coasted in to route the McMinn ville club, 92-72, Probably to Tackle Job oil Shaking (Rules provide the means by which a president's inability may be de termined legally and fairly. President Eisenhower's decision to run or not to run, that is the question would be more easily made if the legislation were enacted. Mr. Eisenhower's public state ments have shown an acute real ization of the predicament the United States would be in if a president were permanently, al though not fatally, stricken. The American people had a taste of that in the latter months of Woodrow Wilson's administra tion. It tasted badly. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and White House Secretary Joseph P. Tummulty, for lack of pre cedent, took over for the most part. Cabinet members did what they could, which was not grass, held to only six weeks of regular service last year be cause of an injury, will be ready for a comeback. For help on the mound, Smith will be counting on three rook ies up from the Syracuse club: Jim Owens, Seth Morehead and Dick Ferrell. Smith already has plenty of strength in 23-game winner Robin Roberts and Murry Dick son and looks for more help from lefty Curt Simmons, who had arm trouble in 1955. PCC Will Extend Big Ten Rose Bowl Invitation Corvallis, Ore (U.R) Com missioner Victor O. Schmidt of the Pacific Coast Conference said here Saturday that the PCC was prepared to issue an in vitation to the Big Ten to ex tend the present Rose Bowl agreement on - an indefinite basis,, Schmidt's statement came on the heels of a rumor originating in mid-west cities that such a proposal was in the process of development. Spe'aking at halftime of the Oregon State-Stanford basket ball game here this afternoon, Schmidt said "The Pacific Coast Conference will issue an invita tion to the Big Ten to continue the relationship between the two conferences in the Rose Bowl game, subject to conclusion of a corresponding agreement with the Pacific Coast Conference and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association'."

Congress now is beginning to think of the fu ture in terms of a stricken president. Last Second Bucket Nips Oregon Five Portland U.R) Coaches Slats Gill of Oregon State and Bill Borcher of Oregon tried to day to teach the Oregon State and Oregon basketball teams a way of shaking off the Saturday "jinx" that has plagued them for the past two weeks. Oregon State, which defeated Stanford handily Friday night, folded up before a television audience for. the second time Saturday afternoon and dropped a 75-50 decision to the Indians. A week before the Beavers were clobbered by USC before the TV cameras. Oregon, which ran over Idaho Friday night, dropped a 61-59 decision to the Vandals Satur day night on a last second bas ket by Jim Branom. A week be fore Oregon lost by two points to California on a last second shot after winning the first game. Ducks Play Stanford This weekend, Oregon travels south to meet the highly-regarded Stanford team in a pair while Oregon State again is at home, against Washington, one of the PCC favorites. ' Brightest spot in Oregon State's loss Saturday was the scoring of Dave Gambee who contributed 16 points to a losing cause. No other Beaver had more than seven. Charlie Franklin and Max An derson with 18 and 17 points topped Oregon's losing perform ance against Idaho. Fourteen of Franklin's points were free throws. Sime Sets Dash Mark Washington U.R) Dave Sime, a 19-year-old Duke Uni versity sophomore who runs more like a blue streak than a Blue Devil, was suddenly re garded the logical candidate to day to take over Mel Patton's title as the "world's fastest hu man." The strapping 185-pound red head from Fairlawn, N. J., emerged from the Washington Star meet Saturday as a spec tacular new U. S. Olympic hope and a fitting successor to Pat ton, co-holder of the world out door 100-yard record. Sime set the track world agog when he raced to a new Ameri can indoor record of 9.5 seconds in the 100-yard dash, won the 70i-yard dash in seven seconds flat and then after taking a few deep breaths, took the 80-yard dash in eight seconds flat. BROWNS SIGN MOSS Cleveland (U.R) Bob Moss, West Virginia halfback and the champion Cleveland Browns No. 1 draft choice, has signed his 1956 contract with the National Football League .. club.

' New Cattle Disease In Morrow County Portland (U.R) Outbreak of a new cattle disease, one that has proved a serious problem in the Midwest, has-been reported in Oregon's Morrow county. Ex perts, however, said the out break of mucosal was not ex pected to reach epidemic propor tions. It is not acutely contagi ous. Latest outbreak was reported at Lexington where 22 of a herd of 42 purebred Hereford year lings were stricken. The disease is almost 100 per cent fatal and there is no known cure or pre ventative. Orville Cutsforth said the dis ease first appeared in his herd last July but that diagnosis was confirmed only recently.

If there is to be such legis lation, it should extend not only to the president, but to members of Congress and to federal judges. Perhaps it would not be necessary to cover members of the House of Representatives. They are elected for only two years. Senators are in for six, fed eral judges for life.
