...President is away. But Senator McKellar could consider another possibility. If the President of the U.S. dies, the Senate President pro tem becomes the de facto Vice President of the U.S. (without inheriting the right of succession). And in that event, Spoilsman McKellar would also get a $5,000-a-year salary increase, plus a Government automobile, with chauffeur...

Johnson promptly assured his employers that he received not one penny from sales of his books to Chicago. His annual royalties, as high as $14,000, he announced, accrue to him from use of his books by cities...
