President Eisenhower's new digestive flare-up is certainly focusing more attention on the varied pro posals before Congress for steps to be taken when a President is incapacitated. But unless the lawmakers do a quick about-face, legislation is likely to be post poned at this session just as it was in 1956. The Senate last year gave unanimous approval to a resolution for study by a joint committee of all ques tions relating to the offices of President and Vice President, including the question of who determines when a President is not able to perform his constitu tional duties. But the House Judiciary Committee then proceeded to bottle up the resolution. It would be "in appropriate" in an election year to attempt to get leg islation, said Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-X.Y.); moreover, it would be likely to lead to "bitter parti san debate." Celler's special subcommittee on May 16 last agreed that the full House Judiciary Committee should decide what type of legislation on Presidential disability to seek. The group did not recommend Pres ident Eisenhower's own formula for a constitutional amendment that would provide two ways for a Vice President to take over the duties of a temporarily dis abled President. As sent to Congress on March 29, the proposal would provide: a) "If the President shall declare in writing that he is unable to discarge the powers and duties of his office, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as acting Presi dent;" b) "If the President does not so declare, the Vice President, if satisfied of the resident's inability," would become Acting President on receiving "approv al in writing" from a majority of the Cabinet. When ever "the President declared in writing that his in ability is terminated, the President shall forthwith" resume the powers and duties of office. TJOUSE Speaker Sam Raybum (D-Tex.) was prob ably recording fairly accurately the temper of Congree when he told reporters on May 29 that he didn't "think much" of the President's proposal. "We've got along for 168 years," Raybum said, "and I don't think many bad things have happened." President Eisenhower at his April 3 press confer ence explained his proposed amendment to the Con stitution. Only the President and Vice President, he said "are elected by all the people." Americans would "resent very bitterly" an attempt by "anyone antag onistic to the President just to give him the old heave- ho on a political basis. A disability decision assented to by the Cabinet would answer this objection, President Eisenhower said, inasmuch as that body is appointed by the Presi dent and its members are presumably friends of the President." PRESIDENT EISENHOWER noted that "under the present wording of the Constitution, the Vice Pres ident himself has to decide" when to take over from a disabled President. The Constitution provides (Art. II, Sec. 5) : "In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President." The President's proposal in late March gave rise to speculation that he might resign. Obviously anger ed, the President at his April 3 press conference char acterized these rumors as "the worst rot that I have heard since I have been in this office." E.R.R.

Total volume of new construc tion put in place, on a dollar basis, hit a record high for the first four months of this year. However, the sharp drop in housing-starts in 1957, compared with 1956, is curbing demand for some key items, particularly lumber, plumbing equipment, and other materials. I see no immediate major improvement in this ad verse situation.

For and the fallout from the American, the British, and the Russian nu clear explosions does not fall exclusively on American, Brit ish, and Russian territory. We are confronted with Khrush chev's "proposal to put an end to all explosions," and, what ever we may think of the sin cerity or the wisdom of the pro posal, it is one that we must dis cuss fully and frankly. TN 1 tion of the tests with three or more powers setting off the ex plosions may do great harm to many people. If only the peo ple of the three nuclear powers were liable to the harm, the de cision could be made cold bloodedly that this is a price that must be paid for security. But when all the other nations are liable to the same harm, we have no right, without their consent, to impose the risk upon them. (c) 1957 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

However, the probability is that several more Flag Days will have rolled around betore Alaska or Hawaii or both are states. President Eisenhower has long been for statehood for Hawaii, and this year he came out for Alaskan statehood also if certain precuations were made about defense. In 1947 the House voted for Hawaii, in 1950 for both Hawaii and Alaska, in 1953 for Hawaii again. In 1954 the Senate voted for statehood for both Ter ritories. Alaska was long supposed to be Democratic in sen timent and Hawaii to be Republican, but recent elec tion results have cast doubt on these assmuptions. Some Southern Democrats are said to fear that the ad mission of the two would add four Senators to the anti-segregation camp in the Senate. In addition, charges have been aired that Communists are influ ential in Hawaiian labor circles. TT IS NOW 45 years, since New Mexico and Arizona A became states in 1912, that the number of stars in the Flag has remained at 4S. That is a record. The longest previous period between admission of states was 15 veal's, between Missouri in 1821 and Arkansas in 1836' In 1794 Congress put 15 stars and 15 stripes into the Flag (Vermont and Kentucky had been added to the 13 original states), and that was it until 1818, al though by that year there were 20 states. In 1818 Con gress provided for 20 stars, with one to be added for each new state, while reducing the stripes to 13 again. If either Hawaii or Alaska is admitted, the present HIS television interview a week ago Sunday, Khrush chev had some things to say which provide a good opening for the discussion. He had been asked by Mr. Schorr of the Co lumbia Broadcasting System why the Soviet government has not given notice of, or even an nounced afterwards, the last five tests conducted in the So viet Union. Khrushchev's ans wer was in substance: If your country were big enough, as in Russian territory, for you to ex plode these tests in the United States, you would not warn of these tests beforehand. This does not happen to be strictly true in that we do announce the tests inside American territory. But what is important about the statement is not this minor in accuracy. It is the possible im plication that the territory of Russia is so big that nuclear ex plosions could take place within it and remain unknown. To be quite fair, Khrushchev did not say explicitly that ex plosions in Russia, if they were not too big, could take place un detected. But he came near enough to saying it to warrant our asking him about it. For this is precisely the point which troubles people in this country who would otherwise be glad to see an agreement to suspend the tests. They believe that it is in fact quite possible to set off an explosion in Si beria which would not be detected. A 22-day French cabinet cri sis was ended when Maurice Bourges-Maunoury was confirm ed as premier in Parliament. received a confirmation vote of 240- 194 in the Na tional Assem bly, the con trolling house of Parliament Charles McCann He Will lead a coalition cabinet based on his own Radical Socialists and the Socialist Party as successor to Socialist Guy Mollet, who was overthrown on May 21. Bourgese-Maunoury's program is similar to that of Mollet. But it differs in one important re spect. Mollet's solution for the Algerian revolt, France's No. 1 problem, was to insist on a' cease-fire before he proceeded with plans for a large measure of home rule. The new premier proposes to proceed with re forms at once. But Bourges - Maunoury may not last long. He does not com mand a majority of votes in the 596-member National Assembly Seventy-three members abstain ed from the confirmation vote. He could be overthrown at any time and he is pledged to pur sue unpopular policies, includ ing an austerity tax program, which led to Mollet's fall. BEYOND this there lies the question of whether, sup posing that technical arrange ments could be agreed to for detecting explosions, it would be wise to abolish further test ing. On this there is a wide dif ference of opinion within the Administration and the armed services. There are those who believe that if there were no more tests here or in Russia or anywhere else, we would be ending the race securely in the lead. There are others who be lieve that if the tests are dis continued at this point, the de velopment of the new weapons, which is now under way, will be thrown into confusion. As a result of these dif ferences of opinion, we are not speaking to the world as clearly as we should. At one time we seem to be saying that we would halt the tests if reliable methods could be agreed upon for en forcing the agreement. At other times, for example in the presi dent's press conference last week, our position seems to be that we will not suspend testing unless we can be very sure that nuclear weapons will not be used at all in a future war. As that is something we can never be sure of given the fact that the weapons already exist this is very near to being a re jection of the ideas htat tests should be suspended or even limited.

E.R.R. we can continue to stand on what with the mounting anxiety all over the world, what with the Soviet proposal to suspend Russian, anti - Western Egypt neared the breaking point. Jor dan's young King Hussein order ed the Egyptian counsul general in Jerusalem out of the country. The military attache was ac cused of plotting to assassinate "members of the royal family" meaning Hussein. Pro-Western, anti-Communist Premier Sami el Solh of Leba non won a big victory over left ist, pro - Egyptian opponents. Government candidates won 19 out of 22 seats in a parliamen tary election. The developments in both Jordan and Lebanon increased the isolation in the Arab world of President Gamal Abdel Nas ser of Egypt. Russia received a slap, too. The United States, Britain and France sharply rejected a So viet Russian call for a Big Four conference on the Middle East The place for discussion of the problem, the Allied govern- struction will hold at high level a fact that will make for a still good total demand for build ing materials in coming months. Supplies, for the most part, will continue ample. Hard Fuels I see nothing to worry about in hard fuels. Production should continue in good balance with requirements. These will hold at satisfactory levels, allowing for the usual seasonal varia tions. Liquid fuels also will easily meet current and prospective needs. Gasoline stocks, though heavy, probably will not prove burdensome, now that the sea son of high consumption is close at hand. Large imports of petrol eum and heavy fuel oil are caus ing concern in some quarters, and will be sharply curtailed, I forecast, either voluntarily or by government decree. The over-all food outlook re mains firm. Supplies of most major items will hold at relative ly high levels. Supplies of meats, however, may be some what smaller this summer than last, largely reflecting an expected drop in the supply of pork. With pastures all over the country in excellent condition, milk pro duction, from now through the summer will hold at a high rate. This should result in larger com mercial supplies of dairy pro ducts but heavy CCC buying should help maintain prices. New Food Crops Looking ahead a bit. I fore cast that new food crops, even with only average weather con ditions during the i m p o rtant growing periods, will again be large. Domestic demand for most food products, both fresh and frozen, will continue at a high level, reflecting a con tinued high rate of national em ployment and disposable con sumer income. Foreign demand for U.S. food products may, how ever, be less aggree- man it was a year ago. Despite government efforts to(J reduce them, our grain and feed supplies in the aggregate are still large. Early indications point to another large supply of feed grains for 1957-58; the total may not differ materially from last year's record. Carryover stocks into the new season will be sharply above those of a year ago. These large current and prospective supplies should militate against any sustained price advances. Feeder Callle o Supplies of well-fed beef cat tle are by no means heavy. Cur rently, price strength prevails in feeder cattle, wh'ch have been in good demand. I forecast a rather heavy run of grass fat cattle, in cluding feeders, this fall, and lower prices. Marketings of the 1956 fall pig crop re now well out of the way and will prob ably be followed by temporar ily higher average prices; but prices could turn sharply down ward as marketings of the large spring crop increase. Demand for industrial com modities should be well main tained at good levels, allowing for the usual summer letdown. Supplies, for the most part, should suffice. Industrial prices may even strengthen moderately later in the year. Supply-demand ratios in the metals group lean more to the easy side than other wise, but no shortages are indi cated. The domestic textile industry, by and large, has been in the doldrums for a long time. How ever. I forecast some improve ment during the second half of this year. Cotton and wool per haps will be the best performers, although I forecast nothing in the nature of a booming market. Supplies of the basic fibers are ample for the months immedi ately ahead.
