(International) Ailing President Matter Up Again Washington tP President Ei senhower's newest illness gave fresh impetus today to legisla tion to determine when a presi dent is unable to perform his duties. Chairman Emanuel Cellcr (D N.Y.) said his House Judiciary Committee would start discuss ing various proposals today but would not reach an immediate vote. The proposals have been before the committee for weeks but were low on its agenda. Celler said Eisenhower's stom ach upset "emphasizes the need for legislation" on the subject. The issue has arisen because the U. S. Constitution, although specifying the ''ice president shall take over the presidency in evtnt of the president's death, res gnation or inability to carry out his duties, does not say how a case of inability should be de cided or by whom. Eisenhower himself has urged Congress to act promptly on this issue. In 1850 world sugar produc tion was 1,500,000 tons.
