that Clayton here should have been
made peoples counsel, and the
very fact that he was ignored gives
rise to natural suspicious that the
local utility corporations may have
had something to do with It.
This is a very important point,
and the Senate District Committee
should find out about it. -
Cites Protests
Senator King already has re.
ceived numerous letters of protest
against the nominations.
Other members of the committee
have also received protests, and al.
though they are not prepared to
take stand either for or against
the nominees, it was evident today
that opposition to the nominations
will not be along party lines.
The sharpest criticism so far
voiced by members of the Senate Dis
trict Committee is for the choice of

BY
SENATE|S
SOUGHT

An expose Of the whole In
side story" Of how recent Dis
trict appointments have been
made is to be attempted in
the Senate.
King Behind Move
Senator William H. King of
Utah, ranking Democratic mem
Der of the Senate District Com
mittee, gave this assurance today
with regard to the Public Utilities
Commission nominations, and re-
iterated previous declaration
that he would ask for the same
inquiry relating to the appoint
ment Of the two new District
Commissioners.
After Answer
''what influences are responsible
for the appointment of these two
Public Utilities Commissioners and
the peoples counsel?" asked Sena-
tor King.
This is question that all Wash
ington is asking today, and 1t is
entitled to an answer. / intend to
do my best to see that it gets an
answer.
There has never been a previous
time in District history when APP
pointments have been made with
such secrecy. There Is no evidence
at hand as to why these two local
citizens, ChildresS and Adams, were
nominated.
Clayton Praised
$50 far as the public knows, their
names might have been chosen at
random. Their qualifications for
work of this sort are not apparent,
and the same holds true regarding
the nomination of Mallan as peo-
pies counsel.
There is no question whatever
