To Ask Confirmation

Senator Says 8, 900

By J. A. O'LEARY.

Senator McKellar, Democrat
OF Tennessee today broadened hi!
fight for Senate confirmation OF
thousands of Federal appointees
by amending his bill to apply tc
all Jobs paying $4,000 or more
instead of $4,000.
Senator McKellar also said he is
willing to eliminate the four-yeal
term requirement in the bill.
Opening discussion of the bill be-
fore a Senate Judiciary Subcommit
tee, the Senator said he was aston
ished" to find there are IS 900 off,
cials in the Government getting $4,-
500 or more.
Il imagine there are great many
more than IS 1000 between $1,000 and
s4,50O," he added
Senator McKellar insisted the
Constitution imposes on the Senate
the duty of advising and consent
ing" to all appointments to Govern
ment Offices, except those which II
may exempt by law.

Don't you know the heads ol
these departments don't pay any at

brief sketch of the background Of

If that is done we won't have
any Communists or revolutionary
people in the Government" he said
The Senator charged that of the
IS 900 officers at $500 or more
many are appointed, regardless OF
their qualifications.
Denying that patronage had any
thing to do with his bill, Senator
McKellar declared.
Thirty years ago my motives may
have been misinterpreted, but after
a man has served five terms in the
Senate and is "a years old 1 think
a fair-minded man would acquit me
of wanting patronage for political
purposes or any other purpose, and
I hope this committee will acquit
me of desiring to build up a political
machine
He made the statement after Sen
ator Wheeler had charged that in
the newer agencies of the Govern
ment Its been scandalous the way
they have built up their own
oligarchy by appointing friends"
That's where the patronage is
Senator Wheeler said, adding the
same practice does not prevail in the
old departments.
bureaucracy Run Mad"
Senator McKellar said a reduc-
ton in the number of officials is one
OF his aims in seeking confirmation
and predicted this Congress will vote
to abolish the regional Offices of new
agencies.
In the Office of Price Administra
tion," he declared, millions are be-
ing spent for regional setups. The
word region does not appear in ou1
Constitution, but the people run
ming these bureaus have divided our
country up into regions. The reg
ional setup is fifth wheel on the
