To Maritime AGENCY

President Truman today nom
mated Richard Parkhurst, a Re
publican member of the Boston Port
Authority, to succeed Vice Admiral
Howard L. Vickers, who is resigning
as vice chairman of the Maritime

with operating experience to succeed
Admiral Vickery and Vice Admiral
Emory S. Land, chairman of the

President Truman already has

nation. before deciding his own
course.
Senator White said the three re-
naming members of the commission

as the law provides for bipartisan
set-up, he wanted the President to
nominate two Republicans.
