SENATOR 1
SAM ERVIN H. A
* SAYS *
Washington For this week’s
column, -I want to use my re
marks made on the Senate floor
the other day with reference to
the question of Presidential in
ability.
NEEDFUL OR DESIRABLE?
Recent events have drawn the
attention of the Congress to the
question of whether it is need
ful or desirable to amend the
Constitution of the United States
to clarify the somewhat indefi
nite provisions of article 11, sec
tion 6, in respect to how the in
ability of the President to dis
charge the powers and duties of
his office is to be determined in
case a disabling accident or di
sease deprives him of the capa
city to make such determination,
and in respect to the ultimate,
legal effect of the action of the
Vice President in assuming the
powers and duties of the Presi
dential office in case the Presi
dent suffers a temporary inabili
ty to discharge them.
No one can gainsay the desir
ability of clarifying these mat
ters. It may be argued with
much show of reason, however,
that Congress itself is empow
ered by article I, section 8. clause
18, and even by article 11, sec
tion 6, to clarify them by a sim
ple legislative act; and that for
this reason, resort need not be
had to a constitutional amend
ment. Be this as it may, I am
convinced that the importance of
these matters in our governmen
tal system demands that the
clarification be made by amend
ment.
AMENDMENT NEEDED
I submit that the amendment
should vest in the Congress the
power to pass upon and deter
mine the question of the inabili
ty of the President to discharge
his official powers and duties, in
case there are reasonable grounds
for believing that a disabling ac
cident or disease has deprived
the President of the capacity to
make the determination himself.
This power should be vested in
the Congress because its mem
bers are duly elected constitu
tional officers who can be held
KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad
ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro,
lina Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank
Building.
Many people fail to under
stand the extent to which social
security benefits are designed to
help them.
Social security benefits provide
only a foundation on which the
individual can build his own per
sonal financial security. It is not
intended that the social security
benefits alone maintain the fami
ly after the retirement or death
of the family breadwinner. It is
intended that the working person
provide his own retirement in
come by planning his insurance,
annuities and savings program so
that income from these sources
along with the income received
in the form of social security
benefits will enable the family
to live in financial security and
comfort.
Many people do not realize
that they should plan in advance
of their retirement, nor do they
realize the sources of income that
may be available to them in ad
dition to their social security
benefits.
In addition to income from
savings programs, investments
and other sources, the retired
person may be able to supple-

responsible by the people for
any action they may take. It
certainly ought not to be en
trusted to Presidentially appoint
ed cabinet members answerable
to the President alone, or to a
newly created commission an
swerable to nobody.
In advocating that the power
to pass upon and determine the
inability of the President be
vested in the Congress, rather
than in the cabinet or in a com
mission, I am not unaware of
the argument that such a course
would offend the constitutional
doctrine of the separation of gov
ernmental powers. However, this
argument, it seems to me, is
heavily outweighed by the sig
nificant circumstance that com
mitting this power to the Con
gress will harmonize in full
measure with our constitutional
system of checks and balances.
This is made crystal clear by
amendment XII, which commits
to the House of Representatives
the power to choose a President
when none of the candidates for
ttie office secures a majority of
the electoral votes; by article I,
section 2, clause 5, which confers
on the House of Representatives
the power to impeach the Presi
dent; by article I, section 3,
clause 6, which confers on the
House of Representatives the
power to impeach the President;
by article I, section 3, clause 6,
which entrusts to the Senate the
power to try the impeachment
of the President; and by article
11. section 2, clause 2, which vests
in the Senate the power to rati
fy or reject treaties made by the
President, and to confirm or re
ject Presidential nominations of
executive or judicial officers.
O'MAHONEY AMENDMENT
The amendment by Senator
O'Mahoney incorporates my opin
ion on the inability question. I
am, therefore, supporting it.
There are many who believe that
the issue will not be acted upon
at this session due to other press
ing problems. Congress ought
not to neglect its responsibility
in this field.
I ment his income with a part
time or seasonal job. The social
! security law permits a benefici
-1 ary to earn as much as $1,200 in
[ a calendar year and to receive
his social security checks
throughout the year.
Social security is only one of
many sources of income to re
tired workers. Financial securi
ty is dependent on many factors
and each worker should carefully
plan his own future in such a
way that he and his family can
live without fear of greatly re
duced income because of his re
tirement or death.
Rabies Clinics
Being Planned
The District Health Department
will sponsor rabies clinics accord
ing to schedules to be published
in each county, and all dogs four
months of age and older are re
quired by law to be vaccinated
during these clinics by the rabies
inspectors. In Pasquotank and
Camden counties North of High-
way 17 and 158, Dr. Victor Fink
is the inspector, and in Camden
and Pasquotank counties south of
these highways Dr. T. V. Dahl is
the inspector. In Perquimans
County Ray White of Hertford is
the inspector, and in Chowan
County Dr. G. L. Gilchrist is the
inspector.
One type of vaccine protects
dogs for three years and one type
for one year. The clinics in each
county will be held according to
the schedule as announced by the
rabies inspector.
There have been nine cases of
rabies in dogs reported in the
State so far this year. “We have
had no rabies reported in this
Health District for sometime,”
says Dr. B. B. McGuire, district
health director, “but the time is 1
always ripe for an epidemic to I
break out when we become lax
in vaccinating our dogs against
rabies. Please meet the inspec
tor at the points that he sched
ules and have your dogs protect
ed against this most fatal di
sease.”

Our high schools are forced to

; educated people in proportion to
: the number attending schools.
1 The minds of specialists are cir
; cumscribed by their mental sur
roundings and narrow in their
thinking. Some schools are lay
ing poor foundations for an edu
cation. Some essentials for an
education are being left in the
rear or almost wholly discarded.
In almost all walks of life
there is need for people of men
tal capacity, disciplined minds
and a broad knowledge. True
one thing should be known well
but along with that knowledge
much should be known about
many things. A real education
al institution is much more than
a job factory.
