New Attention To Old Problem
Washington reports renewed efforts to clarify how ailing presidents can be removed from office. Sen Kefauver drafts a constitutional amendment for a Congress Cabinet commission to decide a president’s fitness. Hearings to define when a vice president may replace a disabled president will follow January reopening. Eisenhower supports a written declaration of disability enabling the vice president to act.

The second item notes consolidation of the Potawatomi area BIA offices at Horton with Buford Morrison to lead and an added adult education specialist.
