Political Speculation
Stirred by Reports
Mead Is Rc Choice
By Joseph A. Fox

PRESIDENT Truman's Withdraw
al of the nomination of Burton
N. Behling to be q member of
the Federal Power Commission
stirred political speculation here
today as q rumor was revived
that former Senator Mead, Dem
ocrat, of New York would be
named for the place.
The Behling nomination, which
was about to be reported out favor
ably by the Senate Commerce Com
r1ittee, after years delay, was
withdrawn yesterday by President
Truman without explanation.
The move came as a surprise ut
the commission. Mr.. Behling, a
member of the staff there, had re-
ceived no advance notice. Nor has
he had any word from the White
House since.
Mr.. Mead, q New Dealer who left
the Senate in 1946 to make an un.
successful race against Gov. Dewey
of New York, has been mentioned
for a number of Federal vacancies
since. In Washington this past
week, however, he was understood
to have told friends he no longer
was interested in a post.
Behling Regarded as Key Man.
Mr.. Behling. special assistant
to the Power Commission who di-
rected its inquiry into the natural
gas situation. has been looked on
as the key man to settle a dispute
over natural gas which has split the
four present commissioners.
A resident of the District, he has
no party afiliation, and his views
are reported to have stirred some
antagonism in liberal" Democratic
ranks.
The situation involved in the
controversy is this:
Nelson Lee Smith, commission
chairman, and Commissioner Har-
rington Wimberly recently approved
recommendations that Congress
amend the act to Establish a fair
field price or reasonable market
value standard" for gas.
They approved a report, prepared
by Mr.. Behling. recommending that
the industry serve customers who
require premium quality fuel and
can pay a premium for It,"
They said reasonable measures by
natural gas companies to assure
dependability of service should be
encouraged and the cost of such
measures should be recognized in
establishment Of rates.
"Tampering" With Act Opposed.
Commission Member Leland olds
and Claude l.. Draper opposed tam
pering" with the act and estimated
the amendment would enrich gas
pipeline owners by $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Olds and Mr.. Draper said pro-
posals to amend the act were de-
signed to "deWtalize regulation and
protect the monopoly position of
the industry"
The Senate Commerce Committee
did not discuss this issue, however,
In the hearings on the Behling
nomination, which members said
privately they were ready to ap-
prove.
The President first submitted the
name . year ago. When no &C.
ton was taken at the last session
Of Congress, he sent 1t back again
in January.
Mr.. Behling has been on the COM
mission star since the fall Of 1914.
Prior y. that, he was with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and later with the Board of Investi-
CATION and Research, . temporary
agency set up to- investigate the
transportation industry.
