BRUCE BIOSSAT
Public Creates,
Curbs President
WASHINGTON —(NEA)—The American people must
surely be terribly confused these days about what their
presidency is supposed to accomplish.
The recent disclosures of historical documents on the
Vietnam war lead some interpreters to charge American
presidents with arrogant use (or abuse) of their powers.
Behind a cloak of secrecy, we are told, our presidents
have committed unforgivable error. If only the public
(and its guardians in the Congress) had known, the whole
awful mess could have been avoided.
This proposition is by its nature unprovable, since there
can be no replay of the war, the events surrounding it,
or any other past history.
But there is a deeper issue here. The presidency, in
its present swollen manifestation, is in big part a creation
of the American people—including some of its critics.
Most presidential scholars quickly say that Americans
have made an enormous investment in their presidents.
For decades, they have been hailing them as the sole
agents of all the people, not beholden to a single state or
district. They have looked to them to rise above the bick
ering congressional arena. They have called upon presi
dents to lead, boldly. They have seen them as the only
power-wielders able to act with the speed demanded in a
swiftly changing time.
In this century of total war, of great depressions, of
shattering and sometimes perilous surprise, presidents
inevitably have tried to respond to the popular summons.
A book soon to emerge will chart the responsive growth
of the U.S. presidency through the growth of the White
House staff establishment over the past four decades.
Larger than ever today, it has nearly the character of
a new branch of government.
This establishment is more than just an enlarged body
of advisers. It is the prod to the immense, glacierlike
federal bureaucracy which is supposed to execute the will
of president and Congress. It helps push Congress itself.
The American presidency, then, has grown not just in
response to popular demand, but in natural offset to the
frustrating immobility of bigger and bigger government.
The celebrated Pentagon papers underscore the flaws
in this trend. The White House staff, indeed, the whole
structure of “top advisers,” is a box within a box. It is
screened from the direct wrath of voters. Its crucial
deliberations usually become known widely only after
they have already become part of past history.
Obviously there is a dangerous remoteness in all this.
Yet it is not at all clear that the key war-and-peace deci
sions of recent years would have been any wiser, if some
how Congress and the public had played a larger role.
Some scholars of the presidency would argue, in fact,
that—for all its evident growth—the power of the presi
dency is seriously exaggerated. The argument is taken
further, to the contention that some of the fetters which
limit the presidency are placed there by the very public
which has wanted the White House to run the show.
Every president has learned, sometimes painfully, that
the public’s notions (whether rooted in reality or fancy)
help define what he can do. When “balanced budgets”
are the vogue, he can’t roam f#r from the idea. That
problem plagued the late President Kennedy. But times
have changed. President Nixon, allegedly the fiscal con
servative, can plot huge deficits in the name of “full em
ployment.” Limited wars like those in Korea and Vietnam
hobble the presidents who wage them. Unable to cry that
survival is the issue, they must ask only small sacrifice
and move by small steps.
Writes author Louis W. Koenig in “The Chief Execu
tive”:
“The imagined presidency is vested in our minds with
more power than the presidency really has.”
The gulf between the imagined and the real presidency,
he says, leads to “disappointment, frustration, and at
tack.” That is the U.S. mood today.

Rx For Debtors in Distress
Each year, millions of people
skate uncomfortably close to the
brink of bankruptcy. Unwise
spending, serious illness, loss of
a job, setbacks in business —all
these may bring on a fiscal crisis.
But in increasing numbers,
debtors in distress are rescuing
themselves by a technique known
as the Wage Earner Plan. Al
though administered by the bank
ruptcy court, it is distinctly dif
ferent from bankruptcy.
Under the Wage Earner Plan,
the debtor agrees to pay off his

“there wasn’t anything
shocking left,” so he turned
to a very sweet film. It’s a
kind of reverse shock. This
is as far removed from the
usual film turned out by a
young producer as Billy
Graham from Charles Man
son.

What if Missile
Foe Exposed Plan?
There is a strong feeling in some administration circles
that President Nixon will come out of the Pentagon papers
fracas in very good shape indeed.
Some administration members have made it plain in
private conversations that they are quite happy with
most of what has come out and what is likely to be pub
lished in the future.
The court tests and the resulting furor of publicity
will insure that more Americans read these papers. This,
from an administration viewpoint, is all to the good.
There’s also a very good chance that the administration
has gotten exactly what it wanted in the courts.
A careful reading of the individual opinions of the
Supreme Court justices suggests quite clearly that a
court majority seems to believe that certain of the ma
terials in the hands of some newspapers, if printed,
would do quite serious harm to the United States. If
the papers do print this material and if a resulting crim
inal action reaches the high court, a majority might very
well hold against these newspapers.
It may be as the Nixon men think, that this possibility
will inhibit at least word-for-word publication of certain
documents.
But it can be said as the result of conversations with
some White House officials that these men are not deeply
concerned from a security standpoint with whatever
comes out of this particular 47-volume set of documents.
What they hope to accomplish by their past and future
court actions, is to prevent indiscriminate filching and
distributing, by officials and former officials, of sensi
tive documents which could block the President’s attempts
to work out some sort of an honorable end to this war,
which could complicate the SALT (strategic arms limita
tions talks) with the Soviet Union or which could en
danger the unorthodox arrangements we have in Laos for
the protection of that country. It would be a sorry situa
tion indeed if official records of conversations between
the United States and certain Laos officials were printed
verbatim.
What really worries the Nixon men is the possibility
that some officials or past officials antagonistic to the
Safeguard missile system, to MIRV (Multiple Inde
pendently-targeted Reentry Vehicles) or some other ad
vanced weapon would release details to the press in the
mistaken belief that such disclosures would help bring
an end to the arms race with the Soviet Union.
As one former high official (a Democrat), now a private
attorney, says, it would be difficult to convict a man for
stealing documents and giving them to the press or even
to discourage others from doing so, if the government
made no attempt to stop their publication.
bankruptcy. Under court supervi
sion, he works out a payment
schedule that may extend for
three years or longer.
In return, he gets immediate
relief from his financial pressures.
By court order, creditors are for
bidden to garnishee his wages,
repossess his belongings, or harass
him with threatening letters and
telephone calls.
True, not every debtor can
qualify for the Wage Earner Plan.
The court will approve a debtor’s
application only if he is earning
enough to make the payment plan
feasible—and if enough of his
creditors agree. Furthermore, he
must have the moral commitment
to stay within a frugal budget
during the payoff period.
But the benefits of the Plan are
notable. It offers the distressed
debtor a chance to ‘get out from
under’ with comparatively little
damage to his credit record. Also,
it may play a major role in pre
serving his self-respect.
Creditors benefit too. The Plan
offers them a reasonable prospect
of collecting their debts, whereas
in the bankruptcy situation they
usually collect nothing at all.
Not long ago a man living on
Social Security, overwhelmed by
debts, turned to the Wage Earner
Plan for relief. Two disgruntled
creditors objected that he could
not qualify because he was not a
“wage earner.”
But the court, pointing out that
Social Security income is based on
past wages, decided to accept the
man’s application. The court said
that in dealing with the problems
of debt, any solution that is so
good for all concerned ought to be
encouraged.
