Justice Unit
Confirms
Silva's Aid
The Justice Department has
confirmed reports that Dr. Ruth
C. Silva, associate professor of
political science, assisted in the
research for the proposed presi
dential disability amendment, ac
cording to Ed Koterba, nationally
syndicated Washington columnist.
The department gave no other
information as to what phase Dr.
Silva played in writing the
amendment or whether other out
siders were called in.
Dr. Silva is recognized as an
expert on the matter.
Columnist Contacted
The Daily Collegian asked Ko
terba to check rumors that Dr.
Silva played an important part in
writing the proposed Constitution
al amendment.
Dr. Silva admitted being in
Washington last week but refused
I to say whether she played a part
in preparing the amendment.
Koterba earlier had contacted
White House Press Secretary
IJames Hagerty. Hagerty told Ko
terba that he had no record of any,
outsiders helping the Justice De
partment in the matter.
Usually Work Alone
He said it would be untrtual
it were true for generally the de
partment officials do all the work
in matters such .s this.
The proposed amendment says
the vice president would merely
act as president and would do so
only for the duration of the presi
dent's disability. The president
would decide whether he is dis
abled.
If the president fails to declare
his inability and if the vice presi
dent and the majority of the Cab-
I fret feel that the president is dis
,abled, the vice president would
then act for the president for the
duration of the inability.
