Baker's Fantasy: 'Next President'
JERUSALEM — A bill entitling
residents, of East Jerusalem to
vote in the next municipal elec-
tions without furnishing proof of
their residency is in preparation
by the government for submission
to the Knesset, minister of justice,
Y. Shapiro informed the Knesset
Tuesday night.
The voting privilege is restricted
to the municipality. Only bona fide
citizens of Israel may vote in
national elections for the Knesset.
Shapiro said the Arab muni-
cipal counselors of East Jerusalem
so far have not been cooperating
with the Jerusalem municipality,
although they were invited to do so
immediately after last June's
Arab-Israel war.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Russell Baker is an experienced
newspaperman who has covered
presidential campaigns, has been
^lose to Presidents Kennedy and
Eisenhower, and he knows the situ-
ation in Washington as well as any-
one.
He now speculates about the 1968
election and in "Our Next Presi-
dent," published by Atheneum (122
E. 42nd, NY 17), he presents his
imaginative "incredible story of
what happened" at that time.
We see Robert Kennedy, having
been chosen as vice president by
the U.S. Senate as a result of a
deadlocked election, taking hold
of the reins and notifying his wife
Ethel on Jan. 20, 1969, that "we're
moving into the White House."
There has been lots of talk, in
previous elections, about the pos-
sibility of choice of a President
going to the House of Representa-
tives. This hasn't happened since
President John Quincy Adams'
election in 1824. But in 1968, as
envisioned in the fantastic Rus-
sell Baker story, there is a
deadlock and even when the
lower house of Congress begins
to act, it too, can not reach an
immediate decision.
The tally deadlocked in the
House of Representatives between
John Lindsay, President Johnson
and George Wallace. Baker takes
seriously the many present warn-
ings that Wallace's role can cause
much damage to both parties in
the present presidential campaigns.
That's when Bob Kennedy steps
in, as vice president, to take over!
Baker's story should have waited
until after Romney's withdrawal.
But Baker doesn't make much of
Romney- anyway. He refers to him
as "a man with a jaw of steel, a
heart of gold and a brain of mush."
Baker's "Our Next President" is
irony mixed with humor. It sounds
serious. It contains warnings about
impending results. It represents
panic politically.
In a sense, Baker's "Our Next
President" is political eschatol-
ogy.
As fantasy, as a dream of what
could happen, written as fact.
Baker entertains while he en-
lightens the reader about political
realities and the laws which guide
our elections. It's a volume that
is certain to reach a large, if puz-
zled, reading public.
