Director of the Bureau Of Foreign

Dickinson said.
Under a recess appointment, DR..
Thorp. former Amherst professor,
has held the bureau post since Au-
gust. Wednesday the Senate Com
merce Committee. by a vote of II
to 5, turned down his nomination,
saying he lacked enough practical
business experience.

Calling Thorp one of the most
competent business analysists in the
country, Dickinson said that until q
man Of Thorp's caliber Is accepted
for the position, Il reserve consider

the department"
Fabricated and untruthful charges

Chairman Stephens Of the Senate
Committee previously had denied re-
ports that opposition to the 34-year-
old economist was based on the fact
he was registered a few years ago
as a Republican, although several
members of the committee hinted the
vote to reject his appointment was
strictly along party lines.
In his statement. Dickinson said:
THE failure of DR.. Thorp to receive

Domestic Commerce and who can be
confirmed by the Senate before the
close Of the present session, the bu-
reau will be surrendered to patronage

THE intrigues against DR.. Thorp
have made the bureau q seething hot
bed Of personal manipulation on the
part Of men seeking to gain or retain
appointments on which not merely
their advancement, but in some in

If this condition continues, as it
will inevitably continue, unless a d.

criminals several hundred times, have
it in their power to stop the pres

really want to do so," he declared.
He pictured a scarlet army" Of

with $4,000 murders. 5000 kidnap-

He placed the annual crime bill

Clarence Phelps Dodge. president Of

he declared 1T is with deepest regret
that we accept the resignation of Mr..

Community Chest will in a sense be
strengthened by this move on the part
OF Mr.. Street because to me it presages
q closer cooperation between private

Mr.. Dodge praised Mr.. Streets rec
ord for efficiency and public service
and appointed a committee, consisting
Of Newbold Noyes, E. c. Graham and

In his resignation, Mr. Street said:
This IS call to public service to
