PRESIDENTIAL INABILITY
While I have not readied a defi
nite position as to what Congress
should do in this matter, tHtere la
increasing evidence to support the
opinion that it will be solved only
by a Constitutional amendment
giving Congress the determining
role. As a member of the Senate
■Judiciary Committee this ' ques
tion will cause me to give con
siderable study to the problem. My
observation is Hut most of the sug
gestions thus far to give the execu
tive branch of our government the
major and controlling role in the
matter have raised far more ques
tions and problems than solutions.
This I say in all sincerity, realizing
that a solution is not easy.
legislative role
A strong argument can be made
to giving the legislative branch sole
voice in determining when the
- President is no longer physically
able to carry out tiie duties of his
office. As one newspaper writer

line with the - Constitutional func
tion of Congress for jlealing with
an indecisive presidential election
or qualification and with impeach
ment ’proceedings”. ffl / j
A* a consequence of preliminary
though* on this matter, I am of the
ision that there is. merit to this
concept of a Constitutionalamend
meot that would establish the pro-'
cedure to follow in the event of the
President’s “inability” to discharge
his duties.
I am not now favorably disposed
to the. creation of a commission to
function for this purpose.
ONEMBTHOO
One method that can be said to,
be more harmonious with the kin
dred provisions of theConstitution
now is a Constitutional amendmeik
to provide that the House vote on
whether a. reasonable questipn of
Presidential “inability” existed. If
the House so voted the issue then
would come before the Senate. •&
would require a two-thirds vote
at the Senaie to declare the disa
bility and provide for the Vice
‘President to succeed the President.
There is so much involved in an
action of this importance that it
should not be lightly studied.

Yob may be able to kid yourself
bat you can't fool a cow into
thinking poor roughage ii a con
centrate. •; ■ t '; . :
Yet, Guy Parsons, dairy spe
cialist for the N. C Agricultural
Extension Service, says that there
are stiB some dairymen who grind
my all sorts of poor roughages, mix
them into the concentrate, add a
little molasses, and think they’ve
■got a good concentrate. A few
dairymen even nee corn cobs,
Straw, corn stalks and good, had
or indifferent hay in this manner.
What does this grinding and mix
ing do for the roughage? For one
thing, it forces the cow to eat poor
feed against her better judgment.
She can’t pick the grain out of the
‘mixture. But, regardless, it’s still
just poor roughage; grinding does
not improve it one iota, according
to Parsons.
The dairy specialist says he
doubts that the average dairyman
Oan afford to force his cows to eat
this kind of feed? As he points out,
a cow has just.so much room id*
feed in hep digestive tract. Every
pound of poor feed meads there’s
room for a pound less good feed.
And it takes a lot of even the best
roughage to keep a cow working
at'her best:
Parsons adds that research'bast
proved that there’s little difference
in hay when it is broken up. The
dairy cow, a cud-chewing animal,
has millions of bacteria in her
stomach to help digest the woody
part of* the hay and break it down
