President Truman Ready to
Nominate James F. Byrnes

sibly later in the day, is forecast.
This will give Byrnes top cabinet
ranking in time to accompany the
President to the big Three" con.
ference outside Berlin in mid.July.
Mr.. Truman announced Byrnes' ap.
pointment Saturday, while on a
visit to his home town, Independ.
ence, Mo.
Friends OF Byrnes say his ap-
pointment means there will be a
subtle change in American rela.
lions with the Soviet Union.
Byrnes is pictured as having ad.
yised the late President Roosevelt
to do better horsetrading" when
dealing with the Soviets. They
add that Byrnes will modify the
"appeasement" attitude toward
Russia, which was advocated by
former Secretary Of State Edward
R. Stettinius and Harry L. Hopkins,
special Soviet envoy for both
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman.
Four other Truman cabinet ap.
pointees took office Saturday in the
biggest cabinet shakeup since 1888.
They were Attorney General Tom
Clark, of Texas, postmaster Gen.
eral Robert E. flanagan, Of Mis-
souri,. Secretary OF Agriculture
Clinton Anderson OF New Mexico
and Secretary Of Labor Lewis B.
Schwellenbach.
Informed sources saw these ap.
pointments by Mr.. Truman mean a
sweeping reorganization OF the gov
eminent. The President already
has turned the War Food Admins
tration over to Anderson while
Schwellenbach announced he would
consolidate all government labor
agencies in the Labor Department
by Sept. /.
Byrnes is a former senator. form
er Supreme Court justice, former
economic administrator, former
war mobilizer and former assist
ant president" to the late Mr..
Roosevelt. He succeeds Stettinius,
who resigned last Wednesday to
become the American representa-
tive to the United Nations Organi-
cation for Peace.

shortage of eggs and chickens.
In Portland, Ore, Atlanta. Ga,

Charter Will
bePresented


Washington, July 2-UP-Presi-

peace.

for its ratification with every assur.

Most OF the nations leaders and
organs of opinion. including the
vast bulk of senators, are either
openly for the new World League
or are not offering any notable op-
position.
Last night Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, titular head of the Repub-
lican party, expressed the hope
that the Senate would ratify the
charter "as speedily as possible"
and without reservation.
The charter, framed by repre-
sentatives OF so nations in San
Francisco provided for the estab-
lishment Of a world alliance de-
signed to solve international prob
lens but prepared to prevent ag-
gression by force.
Senate ratification will make the
U. S. a full-fledged member OF the
new league, which will formally
come into being when this coun-
try, Britain, Russia China, France
and 20 other United Nations ap-
prove the document.
