can, at his news conference late yes
terday, Mr.. Truman said it was the
Presidents prerogative to make the
change and that it was not neces-

Tartly, he responded he wouldn't
answer the question when asked if
he preferred Mr.. McCabe's policies
to those of the retiring chairman.
When a reporter recalled that
Chairman Tobey Of the Senate

and had said he would investigate
Mr.. Eccles' removal, Mr.. Truman
said that the Senate can't investi-

The questioning turned to Gen.

Smiling broadly, Mr.. Truman said
Gen. Eisenhower controls his own
