him and would confide my efforts TO
getting the district attorneys places

urged Mr.. Thurmond's appointment.
Senator Smith and | have an agee-

one is appointed, and | will stand by
that agreement That is all there is
to it,
1T is understood that action by the
preident on the attorney generals

adjust the trouble. 1t is further un-
derstood that both of the senator's arc

that so far as he is concerned there
need be no further applicants for the

place over to Senator. Smith.
Senator Smith declares that he
stands by his former statement, that
he would not oppose j. l.. Sims. if the

recommendation of the attorney gen
