Mr.. Byrnes appeared to be the
congressional favorite for the sec

the Senate Finance Committee re-
marked, for example, that Mr.
Byrnes could "do more to hold the
situation in shape than anybody
else"
Mr.. Byrnes has been working in
the White House since he left the
Supreme Court to be deputy presi-
dent on the home front.
The South Carolinian, for many
years popular Senator. was in the
running for, the vice presidential
nomination at the Democratic con-
vention this summer, where Senator
Truman finally won out.
- Mr.. BErncs supporters stressed
the close relations he maintains
with the Senate. They pointed out
that the prime job in the State
Department during the next few
years will be to complete a charter
for a peace organization and get
Congress to back it up.
Wallace Backed by Truman.
Vice President Wallace already
has gone on several foreign missions
for Mr.. Roosevelt. His latest trip
carried him to China and Siberia
just before the Democratic conven-

AT that convention the CLOS Po-
ftical Action Committee, which sub

Mr.. Roosevelts four-term campaign,
