Associate Justice william O
Douglas of the Supreme Court Is
the first choice of Postmaster Gen
eral Robert Hannegan and Demo-
cratic strategists to succeed Harold
L. Ickes Is Secretary Of the Interior
Justice Douglas is qualified and
famous liberal. He is from the Far
West. He is a Roosevelt man with
whom even Honest Harold could
find no fault. The only problem is
to persuade him to step from his
lifetime job on the court into the
politically hazardous cabinet post.
The inducement held out to him
is that the court is political dead
end and that a return to the po-
litical arena will revive his presi-
dental hopes. Justice Douglas was
always the choice of liberals to run
with Roosevelt in the event tina,
Henry Wallace was vetoed. AND
like .Barkis, he was willing. Only
40, the ex-Yale law professor is still
willing to gamble with his future
The only question will be whether
he thinks the present offer is a
good gamble.
Should Justice Douglas decide to
stick with the court, Senator Jo-
seph c. O'Mahoney is high on the
Hannegan list. Senator O'Mahoney
is up for reelection this fall and
the fact that his State went for
Dewey In 1914 may have put him
in a receptive frame of mind. He
is personally stronger than the
party but his reelection is not GER
tain. His record Is excellent and
his selection would be popular.

fered the Interior post to his friend

Justice Douglas First Choice
For Ickes' Post, Says Writer

Gov. Wallgren of Washington, but
Gov. Wallgren turned it down. Ex-
Senator D. Worth Clark, who has
been mentioned, is out for two rea-
sons: His record Of prewar isola-
tionism and his association with
Lobbyist Thomas G. CTommy the
Cork Corcoran.
The Democrats are we'll aware
that the Ickes blast Is worth a regi-
ment to the Republicans and that
they must put forward a liberal
who has public confidence.
They are not belittling their head
aches. Their senatorial spies re-
port that the more polls they take
on the Hill, the fewer Senators
they find who will vote to confirm
Edwin Pauley as Undersecretary OF
the Navy, the original source of the
present tempest.
Senator George of Georgia is
widely quoted as saying that nc
Senator up for reelection this fall
can afford to vote for Mr.. Pauley
The veteran Senator George is not
well known to the public but he
swings lot of weight in the cloak
rooms. Senator Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania. who has yet to refuse to quaff
a White House nostrum, is pleading
with Hannegan to take this one
away. Senator Guffey is up this fall.
But Mr.. Pauley is firm. He col
lected the funds for the Senator'S
campaigns and he expects them to
go through for him.
Party gloom over the Ickes de-
bacle is heightened by news that
Mr.. Hannegan is genuinely Ill. A
racing infection which terrified his
doctors appears to have been check
ed by the extraction of nine teeth,
but he has been ordered to Arizona
for a long rest in the sunshine.

Text Of Ickes' Broadcast Explaining RESIGNATION

n have been graciouSly allowed less
than three days to clean up the
accumulation Of Is years In the De-
partment Of the Interior.
I am glad to 60. But want to
make it clear that I applaud Presi-
dent Truman for advocating the
policies for which his great prede-
cessor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, fought.
I want also to make it clear that he
has made some excellent appoint
|ments-men Of character and ability
who are devoted to the public well
fare. However, lately have noticed
a trend that has seriously disturbed
me as a citizen. Recently there
has been a decided and alarming
deterioration in the quality of his
appointments. Now 1t is all very
well to advocate policies that are
in the interest of the people but
policies are not self-enacting any
more than laws are self-enforcing.
Policies and laws must be fought for
and enforced or their substance will
ooze away and nothing worth while
will remain. It takes men Of char
acter, strong men, men who expect
to speak the truth and to hear the
truth, to give form to the policies
and the laws for which President
Roosevelt fought and which Presi-
dent Truman favors in his speeches.
So, men and women Of America,
this was the way In which the prob
lem presented itself to me. Should
I have put the country first or the
administration first? So long as I
can remember, have owed allegi-
ance to America. have never sub
scribed to the view that party al
legiance should override the interest
Of the country. I do not now sub
scribe to that view. Nor have ever
believed, as the Nazis did in Ger
many, that the interests of the party
and the interests of the country are
always identical. I do not now be-
lieve this.
I have enjoyed my 10 years as
Secretary of the Interior and feel
q sense of loyalty and obligation to
the fine men and women who have
served that department with me.
Although I am about to retire from
public ONCE, the fight for good gov
eminent and good administration
that have waged all of my life, will
60 on.

retirement, since Gen. Oehmann has
the required age and years Of

He became a colonel in the National
Guard Engineers the same year.
In 1885 he defended himself
against nine charges of maladmin-
lstration and was exonerated by a
special board of inquiry.
When the various District inspec-
ton services were consolidated in
1874 Gen. Oehmann was given SUI
pervision with the title of director
OF inspections. That same year he
entered active military service as
