WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 28. 1955 Brownell Ponders Executive Situation; Top Democrats Plan Party Huddle Suggests Ike May Continue „ Essential Duties WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 UP)— Atty. Gpn. Herbert F. Brownell suggested today President Dwight D. Eisenhower may be able to perform all his essential duties again before it becomes neces sary to delegate them to some one else. The first probleim laid before the attorney general as her 1 hur ried back from. a vacation in Spain was the one of delegation of powers—that is, who should perform needed executive func tions if Eisenhower is unable to do so? On his arrival here, after being briefed by two top aides on the plane trip from New York, Brownell discounted the urgency of the situation. “The Denver news today is en couraging,” he said, referring to reports that Eisenhower, stricken by a heart attack last Saturday, had “a very good night” last night. A later bulletin said the President was “comfortable and cheerful” and had spent much of the morn ing outside his oxygen tent. Brownell said there was. general agreement that there was no need for any action today on the ques tion of delegating executive'pow ers. Brownell had indicated to newsmen in New York earlier lhat_ he would prepare an opinion as quickly as possible on the question of delegating the' President's powers. Most students agree that the Constitution is not clear on what is to be done in the event a presi dent is unable to perform execu tive functions for an appreciable period of time. Hurricane Janet Continues Havoc . MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 27 (A*)—Hur ricane Janet, a tremendous storm with the killer instinct, ripped across Swan Island with 125-to -135 m.p.h. winds today, then headed toward British Honduras and Yucatan. Janet’s furious winds were be lieved to have smashed a Navy hurricane hunter plane with 11 men aboard somewhere between Guantanamo Bay and Panama. The plane was last heard from early yesterday and hopes that the men would be found dimmed hourly although an intensive search continued. The missing plane carried nine crewmen and two Canadian news men. Scores of Navy planes and ships combed an area midway in the Caribbean, where the ill-fated aircraft was last reported.

Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack, wiped nearly 13 billion dollars from the market valua tion of shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Today’s recovery retrieved almost 314 bil lions of the loss.' The upturn was credited by Wall Streeters to good news on the President’s condition and to a feeling that yesterday’s drop was overdone—that is, that share prices went down too sharply un der the influence ,of emotional selling. . Armament Race Feared In Egypt NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (JP) Egypt’s announcement that she has arranged to obtain weapons’ from the Moscow orbit raised American and British fears -to night of an arms race in the tense Middle East. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and British Foreign Secre tary Harold Macmillan issued a joint statement calling on Russia and other nations not to contri bute to such a race. Egypt said she would obtain the arms from Czechoslovakia, a Moscow Communist statellite, in exchange for cotton. Concern was felt in official American and British circles-that the arms Egypt would get in clude “heavy” weapons of a type the Western Powers refused to send to Egypt. Egypt is understood to have offered to buy from the United States such material as jet bomb ers, heavy tanks, artillery, and naval vessels. The Americans and British were represented as feeling such equipment would upset the bal ance of power in the Middle East. They were willing to supply arms to Egypt but only to the extent needed for internal polic ing and defense from external at tack. Egypt then notified Britain she had accepted a Russian offer to supply her with arms. Later, Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser told a crowded meeting in Cairo the arms, would come from Czechoslovakia, a Russian satel lite and home of the Skoda mun itions works. He said the Western Powers declined to supply arms unless Egypt agreed to conditions that he said Egypt could not accept. Oil Decision Promised WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 UP)— The Office of Defense Mobiliza tion promised today a decision within three weeks on whether the government should act to cur tail imports of residual oil.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Majority Leader Will Caucus With Stevenson AUSTIN, Tex., Sept: 27 UP)— Two of the nation’s top Democrat ic leaders meet here tomorrow for a chat plainly labeled as “social” but which could center on the party’s revived hopes to win the presidency in 1956. They are Adlai Stevenson, the 1952 presidential candidate and Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.), the majority leader who invited Stevenson to visit him at his ranch near here last August. Aides of Johnson, who is fry ing lo lake things easy while recuperating from a July heart attack, emphasised that the get together at the Pedenales ranch had no political signifi cance. But -since the Stevenson-John son ranch sociabilities were ar ranged, President Dwight D. Eis enhower suffered a heart attack that may eliminate him as the Republican presidential nominee next year. That factor has led to a new freshet.of hope among Democrats who privately at least had felt that they would have a hard time winning in 1956 if Eisenhower were the GOP nominee. Stevenson is regarded as one of the three or four top Demo- possibilities next year. His visit here is expected lo be. a rallying point for the Texas Democratic party faction that stuck with him over Gov. Allan Shiver's opposition in 1952. Shivers broke with Stevenson and _ supported Eisenhower, ■ who carried Texas. Subsequently Shiv ers has indicated he would like to be influential ir. national Dem ocratic affairs again next year. Reactors Planned For Military Field WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (JP)— A top defense research official said tonight the United States is working on designs for advanced reactor systems “in the whole range” of military interest. This would mean all the way from atomic energy applied to the preservation of food to the propulsion of the largest ships and biggest airplanes. Deputy Asst. Defense Secretary John B. Macauley said this coun try is probably “only in the early dawn of an era of packaged nu clear power plants for the gen . aration of electricity for military The sun ' is moving through j use” but that great technological space at about 12 miles per sec- progress has been made in “an ond. I incredibly short time.” Pressure On Adenauer To Ease West Treaties BONN, Germany, Sept. 27 (fP) Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is coming under strong homefront pressure to modify West Ger many’s alliance with the Western Powers in a move to get Russia to agree to German unification. The leader of his own coali tion ally, the strong Free Demo cratic Party, has" just joined the growing chorus of criticism di rected at the Paris rearmament treaties. Johnston Urged Urged by the subcommittee chairman, Sen. Olin Johnston (D.- S.C.) to pass along his tips to the senators, Benson ,said he’d con sider it. First, he said, he wanted to discuss the matter with his le gal advisers and White House aides. From VA Administrator H. V. Higley tame the testimony that a “great majority” of 449 VA em ployes dismissed on security grounds would have been tossed out anyway. Higley told investigating sena tors most of these people “were not fired under 10450”—the ex ecutive order under which Presi dent Eisenhower set up the ad ministration’s security program. Testimony Prompts Hadlick His testimony prompted Paul Hadlick, counsel to a Senate Civil Service subcommittee examining that program, to comment: “But someone for political pur poses makes them out to be al most espionage agents.” Philip Young, chairman of the Civil Service Commission, told the senators yesterday that between j a la mode Tastes W*e fP& J goUie n cream Benson Admits Mistake Tagging Ladejinsky 'Risk 7 WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 VP)— Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson conceded today he was wrong in tagging Wolf Ladejin sky a security risk. Benson testified before a Sen ate subcommittee which als o heard the head of the Veterans Administration say most of the employes weeded from his agency as risks would have been “fired anyway” for other reasons. The agriculture secretary said the now-celebrated Ladejinsky case gave him some new ideas on security matters which he passed along to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. But he said that to testify as to those ideas would violate a confidence. May 28, 1953 and ’ast June 30, a ' total of 3,614 government em ployes had been dismissed as se curity risks.
