Others impatiently s hrug
off questions about the line
of succession. In this group
is the oldest of them all,
Chancellor Adenauer, whose
health is excellent.
Some see no need to slow
down, but a few are making
concessions to the years. In
dia's Jawaharlal Nehru, 72,
has a medical checkup every
night. He suffered from kid
ney trouble last April. Nation
alist China's Chiang Kai-shek,
74, is recuperating from a
prostate operation but has
gone back to work on a limit
ed schedule.
As much as they may wish
to avoid them, each of the
10 elder statesmen at one
time or another must face
these questions:
How long can he continue
in office?
Who will succeed him?
, Answers In the questions.
I posed by UPI reporters in
; world capitals, provide (he
following summary:
Konrad Adenauer
Dr. Konrad Adenauer,
Chancellor of West Germany:
Age Bfi; health - excellent.
Possible successors - Vice
Chancellor Ludwig Erhard,
65, and Foreign Minister Ger
hard Schroeder. 51. Erhard
is expected to be the immedi
ate choice, as inlerim chan
cellor, but Schroeder is con
sidered likeliest to be the
long-run successor, having
moved ahead of 40-ycar-old
Defense Minister Franz Josef
Strauss, according to Welling
ton Long, UPI's chief corre
spondent for Germany.
Adenauer still refuses to
step down, and when asked
recently how many possible
successors he saw, he snapped:
"You should rephrase the
question. It should be how
many men do I see who think
they are possible successors."
Chiang Kai-shek
Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek, President of the Repub
lic of (Nationalist) China.

on limited schedule; the op
eration was the first medical
treatment he Is known to
I have received In years. Pos
' sible successors - Chiang's
choice is the vice president
and premier, Chen Cheng. 64.
Chen long has been a Chiang
lieutenant who is noted for
his integrity.
Possible complication-Chen
i. ..-lirl to he in delicate health
land has talked of retiring. If
he quits Chiang's son, Chiang
Ching-kuo, might become his
father's successor.
Anfono Salazar
Dr. Antonio de Oliveira
Salazar, Premier of Portugal:
Age. 73. Health - generally
good although during the past
winler he was reported to
have had pneumonia. Possible
successors - Salazar stubborn
ly has refused to. name one.
The most likely candidates
are: Field Marshal Francisco
lliuino Craveiro Lopes, BR,
former president of Portugal
(I051-5R) who has large army
support; former Vice Premier
Marcello Gaetano, 55. who has
great support among younger
persons; Dr. Adriano Jose
Alvcs Moreira, 30, ambitious,
energetic minister of overseas
territories.
Charles de Gaulle
Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
President of France:
Age 71. Health - very good;
he continues active. Possible
successors - no outstanding
candidates. Few believe Pre
mier Georges Pompidou, for
mnr Prpmier Michel Debre. or
a minister such as Algerian
Affairs Minister Louis joxe
would he strong enough to
follow De Gaulle.
In event of his death his
place would be taken tempo
rarily hv Senate President
Gaston de Monnerville, hut
it is unlikely he would hold
office for long. De Gaulle is
rrnorteH readv lo Dress for
rhansina his office into some
thing like the U.S. presidency
and create the pnsl of vice
president for his eventual suc
cessor.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime
Minister of India:
Age 72. lleallli - Nehru is
beginning to show his age.
He has slowed down since his
attack of kidney trouble last
spring.
Possible successors - Nehru
seems determined not lo name
one, but these are the most
likely candidates: Finance
Minister Morarji Desai, 68,
who has a reputation for be
ing pro-western; Defense Min
ister V. K. Krishna Mcnon,
65, whose stature was en
hanced by an overwhelming
victory in last February's elec
tions but whose health Is un
certain and who would have
trouble bringing together all
the factions of his party;
Home Minister Lai Bahadur
Shastri, 58, a follower of
Gandhi and a middle-of-the-roader
who might be a corn
promise choice; Mrs. Indira
Gandhi, 44, Nehru's daughter
and former president of the
Congress party.
Marsha Tito
Marshal (Josip Broz) Tito,
President of Yugoslavia:
Age 70. Health - very good.
Possible successor - he never
speaks of one.
In event of his death a
group of up lo four members
of the hierarchy would prob
ably rule until one emerged.
They are: Vice Presidents Ed
varrl Kardelj and Aleksaniler
Rankovlc and the lr-stcr-known
Mijalko Todorovic and
(tnnoljub Colakovic. Kardolj
and Rankovic are Tito's clos
est friends and aides.
Francisco Franco
Generalissimo Fra nclten
Franco, Chief of State and
Premier of Spain:
Age 69. Health - perfect,
according to his doctor, Vicen
te Gil. Last December he
suffered a serious injury to
his left hand when a gun
exploded, but the injury
seems to have healed.
Possible successor - Franco
has named Capt. Gen. Agustin
Munoz Grandes as Deputy
Premier in a decree. Munoz
Grandes, however, will re
place Franco only as chief
of the government and not as
head of state. Informed Span
ish political sources said they
did not believe the appoint
ment would have any effect
on whether Franco decided
eventually lo restore the
Spanish monarchy.
Although Franco has fa
vored a monarchist restora
tion, eventually, he never has
made his choice known. The
most likely candidates are
Don Juan of Bourbon, pre
tender to the Spanish throne,
and Don Juan's son. Juan 1
Carlos.
Harold Macmillan
Harold Macmillan, Prime
Minister of Great Britain:
Age 68. Health - exception
ally good. Possihle successor
- in the shako up of his cabi
net Macmillan appointed as
his principal deputy R. A.
Butler, 50, who is first secre
tary of slale. The current cri
ticism of Macmillan has not
been because of his age but
rather has been directed at
"old" ideas and his govern
ment's long term in office.
Nikita Khrushchev
Nikita Scrgcyevich Khru
shchev, Chairman of the Coun
cil of Ministers of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics:
Age 68. Health - shows
amazing vitality and great re
cuperative powers. Has been i
troubled during the winter
by influenza and has been
spending more time on vaca
tion on the Black Sea. i
Possible successor - Central
Committee Secretary Frolj
Kozlov is believed lo have i
the inside track. But others
have been favored and have
dropped out of sight in the
past.
Alexei Kirichenko, who
was pegged as a possible
Khrushchev successor as late
as I960, was later demoted
from his post on the party's
presidium and given a minor
post in the hinterlands. No
body knows why. '
Mao Tse-tung j
Mao Tse-tung. chairman of
the Chinese Communist party:
Age 68. Health - reported
to be going strong despite his
age. Possible successor - Mao
has made it clear he intendi
his successor to be Liu Shan
chi, 62. currently chairman
of the People's Republic hut
who won't be the real leader
of Communist China until he.
also is chairman of the Chi
nese Communist party.

"We must he alert to guard

"Much of the growth of the
government in terms of agen

of Ihe growth of our popula

sulting in an ever-increasing
complexity of existence. We
can look lo the simpler life
of the past with nostalgia, but
it is unlhinkahle to try to turn

said.
"By the same token, this
growth must respond to the
needs of the people and not
be forced on I hem by usurpa

as urged by the extreme
left." Duncan added.
