WASHINGTON, July 17-(P-Re
publican leaders served notice to-
day they will hold the Senate in
session tomorrow night and Sat
urday if necessary to reach a vote
on legislation authorizing an in
curry into the Justice departments
handling of a Kansas City election
investigation.
1t vas, the pending business dur
ing a six ard a quarter hour SEES
sion today, but virtually no pro-
gress was made.
Senator KEN R-Mo). who is
pressing for the investigation, com
planned several times during the
day of the delays.
Just before he moved for an
overnight recess, Majority Leader
White (R-Me) said a serious ef-
fort will be made tomorrow, into
the night if necessary" and on
Saturday to reach a decision.
Actually pending is a motion to
take up Kem's resolution which
would discharge tie Judiciary COM
mittee from further consideration
of the matter.
The comittee, with Senator Lam
ger (R-ND) voting with the Demo
cratic majority, decided earlier
in the week to postpone Indefinite
ly action on the KEN resolution
calling for a complete inquiry in
to the Justice departments con-
duct in the matter.
KEN contends that the depart
met "whitewashed" an investiga'
ton into alleged irregularities in
the 1916 Kansas City Democratic
primary, in which former Req.

Enos Axtell, who had the support
Of President Truman.
Axtell subsequently lost out tc
Rep. Reeves (R-Mo) in the general
election.
KEN encountered repeated OBJ
stacles in his drive for Senate &C

First he had to wait for the
Senate to act on dozens of bills

Barley D-KyJ and Senators Nc

let it be known that there should
be some debate" on Kem's pro-
posal.
Barley described the proposal
as rather unusual" since it seeks
to discharge a committee from
further consideration of. matter or
which it already has acted. He
pointed out that discharge motions
customarliy are resorted to only
when a committe declines to act,
Barley also said there appears
to be a question whether the Sen
ate has a right to investigate the
nomination OF a member of the
House.
Senator Mcfarland (D-Ariz> ask
ed Barley whether he dCes moi

mitted.
The county indigents, however,

the hospital, but as of Wednes-
day night no arrangement had

Tribal Election
Set For Jan. 70;
Filing To Jan. 2

With the biennial election of
the Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council being held Tuesday Janu-
airy 20, interest in the event is
mounting among most of the
members of the tribe.
At the coming e e elton 13
councilmen will be named. As
provided in the constitution, as
amended by a referendum vote
some time prior to the election
two years ago, councilmen will
be elected by popular vote. That
is to say, voters in the various
districts will take part in elect
ing all of the 10 members of the
new council.
At previous elections, voters of
each district were confined to
voting for candidates on district
ballots. At the coming election
four will be elected for Brown
ing District, three for H e a t
Butte, three for Old Agency and
three for Seville.
Eligible voters must have at
tanned the age of 81 years on the
day of the election. While there
is no registration requirement,
every voter must be an officially
recognized member of the Black
feet Tribe. That is to say, he or
she mus t be enrolled at the
Blackfeet Indian Agency.
At the coming election polls will
be open from 8 a. m. until 6 p. m.
in each of the districts.
The deadline for filing of can
didacies is Friday, January 2 at
5 p. m. In the past the filing fee
was SIS. This weeks meeting of
the Tribal Council, which began
yesterday, was to decide whether
or not the filing fee would re-
main at S..
The day following the filing
deadline, under the constitution,
the Tribal Council will meet to
determine the legality of all can
didacies. Two years ago under
the same circumstances the Tri-
bal Council disqualified the can
didacy of Henry Hagan, W h o
though residing at Cut Bank,
sought office as a Seville District
candidate. The Tribal Council at
that time held, as is likely of the
present body, that candidates
must be boni fide residents of the
district from which they aspire.
Immediately following approx
al of the list of candidates, the
Tribal Council will have h e m
posted in the various districts,
together with other information
covering the election.

1t Should Go to d Vote

The considerably modified version of
the armed services merger" bill that has
finally been reported to the Senate is said
to meet with the approval of top-ranking
War and Navy Department officials Being
a compromise measure, it will not COM
pletely satisfy all in the Army, Navy and
Air Forces who have expressed positive
views on this highly controversial subject.
But it will meet most of the major argu-
ments voiced against the original pro-
posal of the President, especially objections
from Marine and Naval Aviation quarters.
And, since it is probably the best so-called
merger bill that can be hoped for at this
session of Congress, it deserves to go to
vote on the floor of both houses before
adjournment.
The bill as approved by the Senate
Armed Services Committee does not pre-
tend to be a unification measure in the
generally understood sense of that term.
Indeed, it specifically states that its pur-
pose is to "integrate" policies and pro-
cedures of the Army, Navy and Air Forces
but anot to merge them" The bill would
provide, however, for their authoritative
coordination and unified direction under
civilian control"
In a move designed to take the wind out
EFof the sails of those who have 1tced fears
Evening star., 1947-06-06

for the future OF the Marine Corps and
Naval Aviation, the committee inserted a
proyiso against alteration or diminution
of the existing relative status Of the Marine
Corps Including the Fleet Marine Forces)
or of Naval Aviation" Concessions also
were made to those who have criticized
the merger plan as setting up military
oligarchy, as yesting too much discretion
ary reorganization power in the head Of
the new establishment and as failing to
define clearly the functions of the three
coordinate departments.
The chances of a Senate vote on this
bill are good, now that it has been assured
of place on the calendar, although it
probably will not be called up until some
time next month. The situation in the
House is far from encouraging, however.
The House committee has suspended hear
ingS in order to consider other govern
mental reorganization proposals. These
other proposals automatically will become
effective at the end of sixty days unless
Congress votes disapproval of them. 1t is
to be hoped that the House committee
will be able to complete this prior busi-
ness in time to report its own, or the Senate
committees, Army-Navy integration bill.
This legislation should be voted up or down
before adjournment, so that the armed
services will know where they stand. The
current uncertainty already Is seriously
slowing down planning for the Nations
security

New Pan American Leader

In Dr. Alberto LleraS Camargo of Colon1-
bla, worthy successor to the late Dr.
Leo S. Rowe as head of the Pan American
Union has been found. The new director
general is only forty-one, yet he has
achieved an international reputation as
Journalist and statesman Beginning as
contributor to La Republica in Bogota
while still but youth, he wrote success
sively for Ell TEMPO and Ell Espectador
there and then for Ell Mundo in Buenos
Aires. Later he edited La Tarde and his
own newspaper, Ell Liberal, which he estab-
lished in 1898.
Meanwhile, DR.. Camargo was appointed
secretary of the Liberal Party in 1929 and
served in the Colombian Chamber of
Representatives and as Minister of the
Interior and Minister of Education. Desig-'
mated Ambassador to the United States in
1943, he shortly was called back to be
Minister of Government and eventually
Minister of Foreign Relations in 1945. He
became President of his country on August
7 of the last mentioned year.
But it was as a leading participant in
the Inter American Conferences at Buenos
Aires and Mexico City and as presiding
officer of the Colombian delegation at the
United Nations Conference at San Fran
cisco that DR.. Camargo demonstrated his
constructive talents in the larger field of
global affairs. He is staunch believer
in Western Hemisphere solidarity, yet he
recognizes to the full the demonstrated
fact that our planet is a single entity.
Courteous in manner, gentle in bearing.
the new Pan American administrator is
well and favorably known in Washington
His activities from now on will be centered
here, and the local community already has
made it clear that it heartily welcomes
him and his family as neighbors
