WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress is still wreN^hng with the long-etandinf national confusion about praildentlal suc-ces^cm and disability, and the end is not in sight.

Through the years solutions have been offered by the bushel. Congress acted on $ome, passing laws and changing them. Ljmdon B. Johnsons lasvlng the vice presidency vacant. revived the dilemma.

Two former presidents. Dwight P. Elsenliower and Harry 8. Truman, and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon have agreed something should be done about not exactly on how. Thare has bewi wide disagreement in Congress.

Earlier thii year Truman said Nixon suggested the Electoral College elect a new vice president to fill a vacancy in that office. Eisenhower this week had a different idea.

He suggested the president be empowered to name a vice president if there Isn't one, provided the man he picks Is approved by both houses of Congress.

The American Bar Association had already recommended that procedure befollowed through a constitutional amendment. A Senate subcommittee, working on the problem for months, feels the same way.

It was expected to suggest, perhaps today, that this be done. But a constitutional amendment nsedi approval by two-thirds of both houses of Congress and by three-fourths of the states.

The trouble here is at the start, for while the Senate may tpprove ona plan the House may prefer another. But that Is only part of th# problem.

The other Is the question of presidential disability.

How does a vice president tike over if a president is disabled, or how does he take over If a president is disabled but doesn't know It or wont or cant admit It?

Eisenhower and Nixon and after them Presidents John F. Kennedy and Johns(m had an underatanding; there was no law covering this. Now Johnson has a similar agreement with the man next In line to succeed him because there is no vice president. House Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass.

Truman had said that once a vice president takes office, because of a presidents disability. the president would not be entitled to resume his of-fice if and when he recovered.

But Eisenhower said he had no fear that a vice president would refuse to surrender the prealdency once a stricken president was able to resume It - because, he said, I think he couldnt possibly get away with It.

Nixon said the arrangements worked out by Elsenhower, Kennedy and Johnson in case of their olsability letters to the men next in line to succeed them lack the force of law and would be inadequate if a dispute arose.

Under a law passed in 1947 If the president dies, and there la no vice president, next In line to succeed is the House speaker, right now. McCormack, and then the Senates president pro tempore, right now Sen. Carl Hayden. D-Aris.

The Senate subcommittee is expected to recommend a constitutional amendment covering both the succession to the presi-(Cootlniitd on Pige 5)

(The Wilson Times)

Eastern Carolina is a great .section of the state, one with historj', fine people and a forward looking viewpoint. It is predominantly agricultural and will be because of the rich farm land that is also our heritage.

It needs many things, and above all more influence in the halls of government. This is why we were so concerned when representation based entirely upon population was the issue. And it won, because the population is in the Piedmont, the fastest growing area of t h e state.

And with the continuing concentration of representati 0 n and the political power in the Piedmont, the voice from the East and West ^'ill become dimmer with the years. This is unless the voting strength of the East and the West asserts itself, and the voters go to the polls in sufficient numbers to become a political influence in the deciding of elections. Then we wUl be respected not just taken for granted.

Eastem Carolina Is an area of our state made up of prosperous small cities in the process of becoming large cities, and this is also a healthy pattern. We work together for the genera] welfare but naturally we strive for our own city or community when the time comes. This will always be, and it in itself is wholsesome.

Eastern Carolina needs industry and industry needs roads and transportation facilities, air service and highways, in order to develop the resources that are here. And these resources are in abundance.

Eastern Carolina has an ade

quate labor supply, trainable and with the facilities for training. And when it comes to providing higher education w'e are most blessed. Large and small colleges are advantageously placed in the area.

And medical facilities are certainly fast becoming some of the very best in the entire state.

East Carolina needs much. It needs industry, it needs a spirit of optimism and determination, that must begin at the polls. We are not the poor relations of the state, we are rich, endowed by nature and posaeasing a great and glorious heritage.

Another awareness of our strength can be shown next Saturday when we go to the polls. We hope our people vote. We hope they have studied the candidates, We want them to go below the surface of a 11 charges and counter charges to the qualifications the candidates pos.seas to fill the highest office in our state. We hope you will select the man who will be beholden to any machine or group, who will see the state as a whole and help develop the weaker sections In order to keep pace with the stronger areas.

Yes, Eastern Carolina does need much, but we have much. What We have must first be appreciated by us, before we can impress others. We must do our own working and speaking, we must tell others about this section. And we must use the influence and power that is ours. We must vote and we must vote our owm convictions. And the time to begin is Saturday, May 30. We must believe in ourselves. For nothing succeeds like success.

any real good, had to taste bad and it usually was col-ored dark brown.

Golf and tennis were both regarded as sissy games played largely by well-to-do peo p 1 e who werent physically up to the wear and tear of body contact spoils.

Hospitals were feared by most persons. They were regarded as places where you went to die rather than to get well.

Anybody who got his car up to more than 60 niiles an hour was considered a reckless daredevil.

Teen-agers screamed almost as loudly over the singing of a beanpole kid named Prank Sinatra as they do now over the music of Englands four hairy Beatles.

People of 40 were thought of as old but still employable.

Only the very wealthy worried about the Income tax. The working man who g(^ a full weeks paid vacation a year felt he was fortunate. And only sick people ever were put on diets.

Those were the days.

It could be a case of when the cats away the mice will play. Or it could be more serious than that. At any rate, while Nelson Rockefeller is going all out to pick up eighty-six delegates in California, a determined Nmd ol Goldwater-Ites Is busy trying' to take delegates away from him in his home state of New York.

The New York and Callfomla primaries * are scheduled for the same day. June 2, and the difference between Eastem and Pacific Coast time could mean that some news of the way things are going in New York will be available to late voters In Los Angeles and San Fran-^ cisco. But the New York GoW-waterltes are not relying on any hopes that a htutie state defection will bo evident In time to affect the vote in Callfomla. Regardless of the C^l-fomla primary, they want to put Ooldwater delegatee across in ten contested New Yerk State Congressional Districts if only to demonstrate to the Republican convention that Rockefeller is weak where po-pttisrootnton in the West" c(r-siders that he Is wrong, Ten districts could yield a maximum of twenty delegates, but even if the Goldwaierites could pick up from two to alx delegates they would c<mslder It a meaningful vlctpry,.

The Goldwater push for Naw York State delegate# la concentrated in countlea that have been particularly restive under liberal Republican rule. These are mainly down State, with a big cluster on Long Island Suffolk. Nassau and Queens. But they include Erie County at the other end of the state. In addition to Long Island and Erie the Gold-waterites are making a pitch on Staten Island, in suburban Westchester and Rockland counties, and In tlfe mid-Hudson Twenty-eight Congressional District where Kent Leavitt, a big figure in the national Ooldwater for President movement, holds forth.

The effectiveness of tht Ooldwater push In New York has already been proved, for in many of the contested districts the Republican organization candidates for a trip to the national conventicm are running either as uncommitted or as merely wUling to support Rockefeller as a favorite Bon," not as a serious last-ditch cmitender. In Suffolk Conty, an organization Republican who aspires to be a delegate remarked, If we commit ourselves now, we might very weU be out on a limb. The New York Goldwaterites are far more virulent about Rockefeller than is Barry Goldwater himself.

At the very moment when Goldwater was announcing in California that he would concentrate his fire on Lyndon Johnson, not on fellow Republicans, the New York Ooldwat-erites were busy shipping their anti-Rockefeller literature to the Pacific Coast in large amounts.. The burden of this literature, as New York conservatives put it, is that youve got to live with Rocky really to know him. In an open letter to New Yorkens, forwarded to the Coast, it plays up the humiliating concessions which Rockefeller extracted from Richard Nixon in 1%0, and adds that, as a result, Nixon lost New York by 383,646 votes, his worst beating anywhere In the nation except for Massachusetts, John Kennedys home state. It calls Rockefeller the worst taxer and spender in the history of New York State . . .personal income taxes taken from your pay envelope have bon boosted an Incredible 103.2 per cent." (The N. Y.

And. pointing to the State Liquor Authority scandals in New York, which have already resulted in seventeen criminal indictments," it says that Rockefeller is the only Republican Presidential possibility who couldnt score on the Bobby Baker issue. Since, prior to his victory in Oregon, Rockefeller had been encountering apathy in California, the New York Goldwater-Ites hope to promote a renew-(ConUnued On Page 5>

By ELMER BOKSSNER The Equal Pay Act, effective 2 weeks from today, may do exactly the opposite of what is intended.

The purpose is to Integrate mens and womens pay.

In practice, it may do more to segregate the sexes than anjthing jlnce fig leaves.

The new law of the land demands that employers pay women the same rates they pay men for the same work.

That's fair. Thats been a demand of women since the suffragettes persuaded the U.S. of A. to give votes to women by the XIX Amendment to the Constitution in li20.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN Many employers will go with this. Women have been working beside men at the work benches of America for more than 20 years: many have been getting the same rate as men and no one has asked, Huii?

But other employers will object. They are those who believe that women., for anatomical reasons, lose two or thi'ee days work each month; that they lack the physical strength of men in jobs that require physical as well as mental effort: and that they have a way of getting preg-' nant that keeps them off the job at the most awk ward times.

And 80 many employ c r s have a negative attitude toward women employees.

Others -have had a positive attitucle, for these self-serving reasons:

Widows and divorcees have been more desperate t h a n men for Income and have been willing to work for less. Mar-ried women seeking extra spending (or bill - paying) only have been eager to work for even less.

HOW IT WILL WORK OUT Despite the new law. those who have been profiting because of the subjugation pi wo

men will not give up their advantages readily. By vari 0 u s devices (some mentioned here yesterday), they will try to keep women in their unfairly sugjugated roles.

There will be a great tendency to reverse the current trend whereby qualified women have been moved into executive positions. Instead, 0 n orders from on top, jobs will be increasingly rated according to sex. Women, not men, will be hired for certain Jobs, secretarial. clerical, etc. And men. ntH women, will be hired for certain other Jobs.

As time goes on. these dl-visionals will grow stronger. In offices, If not on production lines, we will nave a sterner segregation than ever existed in Little Rock, except that the segregation wlU be along sex. not racial, lines.

Jobs, like French nouns, will have sex. CerialB fields will be reeerved for women, and wome^wUl bs confined to them. Yoi^can na^ tksm

now. Other fields will be reserved for men. and economic booms will be lowered on wo men who try to crowd over.

In the end, the new law may separate the sexes as they have never been separated before. Furthermore, It may tnd to send married women

back to their homes, leaving

jobs for the rising tide of

youngsters. In fact, many C(i-gressmen may have voted for the law with Just that In

mind.
