TRUMAN, DOUGLAS
DISCUSS VACANCY
President Talks Over In
terror Secretaryship With
Associate Justice

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-UD-
President Truman said Thursday
that he had discussed with Associ-
ate Justice William o. Dauglos the
position of secretary of interior.
But Mr.. Truman also said he did
not think he should have two ca
binet members from the state OF
Washington.
Douglas is from that state, and
so is Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
SchWellenbach.
Press Puzzled
Reporters were puzzled at the
end of Mr.. Truman's news con-
ference over just what Douglas
status is in Mr.. Truman's efforts
to fill the vacancy left by resig-
nation of Harold L. Ickes.
Mr.. Truman said at the outset
that he had discussed t n post
with Douglas. Then he was asked
whether he had offered the job to
Douglas.
Truman Retreats
Mr.. Truman retreated to his
previous phraseology, saying he
had discussed the matter with the
justice.
Information pieced together
from other sources indicated that
the position had been offered to
Douglas, that many democrats
were putting pressure on Douglas
to take it, but that he was re-
luctant to leave the Supreme court
and probably would not do so.
President Smiles
Mr.. Truman was asked whether
he would nominate Gov. Mon c.
Wallgren of Washington. The pres.
ident smiled and said that Wall.
gren would make a fine secretary
of interior. But, he said again, he
did not think he should have two
cabinet members from the same
state.
To reporters remark that
Douglas was legal resident of
Connecticut, the president said,
no, Douglas is a legal resident of
Walla Walla, Wash.
Excludes Douglas
s"That would seem to exclude
Justice Douglas?'' a reporter said.
Draw your own conclusions, the
president remarked.
A furry of questions rang out
from reporters asking for a clear
er statement of Douglas position.
The president in response to sew
eral questions said that his state
ment did not exclude Douglas.
'Is the implication, then, that
To Stay
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
is leaving the cabinet?" he was
asked.
The president said that Scnwel-
lenbach is going to stay as secre-
tary of labor just as long as he
wants to stay. He said the same
thing applied to Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton P. Anderson, who
has been mentioned for tn e in
terror post.
The president offered no clues
as to when he will fill the interior
vacancy, except to say that he has
not made his decision. /

In Court Fight Against
Clio for Old Job
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

The Justice Department. plans to
enter a New York case testing
whether a World War II veteran is
entitled to his old job even if he
displaces nonveteran with greater
union seniority, it was learned today.
John F. Sonnet, Assistant Attor-
ney General, claims division, said
the department will apply to file a
brief as friend of the court because
the case involves a question of ma
tional Importance"
The Justice Department, 1t was
explained, is trying to set precedent
in the case-first one involving So
called "superseniority" and set for
disposition early next month by the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
CIO Contests Decision.
The CIO bitterly contested the
decision of Judge Matthew T.
Abruzzo, sitting in Brooklyn Federal
Court, that Abraham Fishgold was
entitled to return to his job as a
welder at the Sullivan Dry Dock and
Repair Corp. even though it meant
dismissal Of worker with greater
seniority.
Several unions, it was understood,
have applied for permission to en-
ter the case as friend of the court.
Although veterans are entitled to
the free services of United States
attorneys in unemployment cases,

Mr.. Fishgold won the case in the
lower court through a private law
yer.
Mr.. Sonnet said the same oues-
ton is coming up in a number of
other cases where United States
attorneys are acting as the veterans
lawyer.
THE Justice Department" he
said, takes the position that the
qualified veteran has a right to
the same job he left, even though
it Is occupied by some one with
greater seniority"
Selective service has taken the

up solidly on the other side. Clin-

Abruzzo ruling as "antiveteran, /"
contending that "in its attempt
