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.
