Congressman
CIENN CUNNINGHAM
Last week President Eisen
hower announced that if he
becomes disabled, he and the
Vice President have an under
standing that Nixon will be
come "Acting President." The
President acted since Congress
has fooled around on the mat
ter and has taken no action to
clarify what should be done if
a President is unable to carry
out his duties.
Most people applauded the
plan, but House Speaker Sam
Rayburn objected to It Rayburn
Is a poor one to complain, since
he - as Speaker of the House
and leader of the majority •
should see that action is taken
on this important matter.
But instead he uses his great
influence to remodel the Capi
tol building, which most people
don’t want done. It would seem
that the emphasis is on the
wrong matter.
Former Omanan Dr. Carl F.
Hansen has been appointed act
ing superintendent of schools
In the District of Columbia. He
succeeds retiring Dr. Hobart M.
Coming, who resigned, and who
also was formerly of Omaha.
Dr. Hansen was principal of
Tech High School before he left
Omaha In 1947.
Older persons sometimes have
difficulty getting jobs because
of arbitrary age limits set by
some firms. A recent survey of
163 companies shows that old
er workers are rated just as
good or better than younger1
people In attendance and over
all job performance.
The older folks show up very
well in work quality, attitude
toward their jobs and dependa
bility. They also are listed as
just as good or better than
younger employ'ees in perform
ance after training, promptness,
accident rate, company loyalty,
number of grievances, response
to supervision, turnover and
many other categories.
Those who deplore present
high federal budgets (and I am
one of them) can take heart in
one fact. Legislation proposed
by extreme liberal Senators dur
ing the first session of this Con
gress would have added, if
passed into law, nearly S26 bil
lion to the federal budget.
The D. C Transit Company
reports that It carried more pas
sengers in 1957 than In 1956.
This unusual increase in pas
sengers, when most metropoli
tan transit companies are los
ing fares, results mainly from
the scarcity of parking in down
town Washington.

Police Detention
Prior to Trial
Washington, D. C. — U. S.
Senator Thomas C. Hennings.
Jr. (D Mo.), Chairman of the
Senate Constitutional Rights
Subcommittee, announced to
day that the subcommittee
would conduct public hearings
in Washington. D. C., commen
cing Friday, March 7, 1958, on
the subject of police detention
prior to commitment and ar
raignment. Senator Hennings
announced that the first wit
ness to be heard by the sub
committee would be Professor
Arthur E. Sutherland, of the
Harvard Law School.
Senator Hennings stated: “For
more than a year the Consti
tutional Rights Subcommittee
has been making a quiet but
comprehensive study of the
constitutional aspects of po
lice detention prior to arraign
ment. The hearings scheduled
to begin March 7 are the next
logical step in the committee’s
study of this vitally important
subject.
"Public attention recently
has been focused on this gen
eral subject as a result of the
widespread publicity given the
Supreme Court's ruling last
June in the Mallory case. How
ever. public discussion of the
subject has been devoted al
most exclusively to the impact
of the Mallory decision on po
lice practices and procedures
regarding arrest and arraign
ment. The constitutional rights
aspects of police detention pri
or to arraignment have been
almost completely ignored. A
side from their other purposes,
I think the subcommittee's
hearings will be of great value
in helping to redress this im
balance, since no discussion of
police detention could be com
plete without some considera
tion of the various constitution
al rights questions involved.
"The committee's first wit
ness will be Professor Arthur E.
Sutherland of the Harvard Law
School, who is eminently qu^i
fied to set the issues in their
proper constitutional perspec
tive. We plan also to hear the
views of a number of other
highly qualified legal and con
stitutional experts, including
persons with practical experi
ence In the field of law en
forcement. I do not want to
minimize the problems which
face law enforcement officers,
having spent a number of years
as a public prosecutor myself,
so we shall give police spokes
men ample opportunity to prove
the necessity for any change in
the present established proced
ures regarding detention prior
to arraignment.”
