Truman's Withdrawal
CT CdnfiI Nomination
Precipitates Mild Row

A row involving an old Missouri
friend of President Truman hao
the Senate mildly embroiled to-
day.
The issue f1ared yesterday when
the President withdrew the NOM
ination of Fred A. Canf1l OF
Kansas City for reappointment as
United States marshal for the
western district of Missouri.
The White House move-which
incidentally. has no effect on Mr.
Canfil's retention of office or his
pay status-seemingly was taken
to prevent a Senate battle over
the nomination.
Eben Ayers, presidential secre-
tary, said in reply to questions
that the nomination had been
pending in the Senate Judiciary
Committee since last January and
apparently would not be acted on
so the President had withdrawn it.
Donnell Sought Probe.
Senator Donnell. Republican,
Missouri, had asked investigation
of the nomination because of
contentious that Mr.. Canfil had
remarked "the Constitution be
damned" or words to that effect
during an argument with a
Springfield CMoD newspaper pho
tographer over attempts to take a
picture of a Federal prisoner in
1947. Mr.. Canfil denied the re-
port.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
declared the Senate Judiciary
Committee was discourteous and
disrespectful to the President by
not acting on the nomination.
Chairman McCarran of the
Judiciary Committee replied he
believed it best to delay action
pending an investigation rather
than have the nomination de-
feated.
Move Surprises Canfil.
Senator Lucas said he agreed
nominations should be investi-
gated, but this one had been be-
fore the Senate for several months
and that Mr.. Canf1l, a personal
friend of the President. was from
Mr.. Truman's home district.
At Kansas City Mr.. Canfil ap-
peared surprised when told his
nomination had been withdrawn.
Under the law, a United States
marshal holds Office until a sue
cessor has been appointed and
qualified.

Gray, jr., said the complicated

Tom De Wolfe, chief Govern

neishi q definition of the purpose
Of the broadcasting:
1T was used to promote
psychological warfare on the
troops and cause them to become
homesick; to cause them to be-
come tired and disguised with the

After Tsuneishi had testified
Mark Streeter, a grocer from
Idaho Falls. Idaho, appeared be-
fore United States Commissioner
Francis st. J. Fox to ask that the
Japanese be cited as a war GRIM

Mr.. Streeter said he had been
q prisoner of war in the Bunka
prison camp, where men and
women with radio experience were
held. He said Tsuneishi COM
manded this camp. and was no

Commissioner Fox told him he
saw no way a charge could be
brought by national of one coun-
try against the national Of another
under the circumstances Mr..
Streeter stated.
Mr.. Streeter, here as a prospec-
tive defense witness, said he would
try to see the Army's judge advo-

Mr.. Collins asked Tsuneishi II
it wasn't true Maj. Charles Cousens
of the Australian Army was beaten
severely the day before he first
was interviewed about the possibil-
ity of working on Radio Tokyo.
Tsuneishi said he didn't know.
Were you not present the day
before when he was beaten?" Mr..
Collins demanded.
"Of course not" the Japanese
replied.

Preventing skids with St. Christopher medal

whom the Church recognizes offl- cially as a saint and whom we therefore know to be near and dear to God
 All prayers are heard. There fore St. Christopher hears and carries the petition to the throne of Him who loves us Such inter cession from a saint beloved by God is potent. God hears and an ,swers in His own way, which is always the best way for our ulti- mate good.
 So you see, a St. Christopher medal in a car can do lot of good. Indirectly it can stop skids, blow outs, or any other calamity, if one has faith in the prayers of a saint and appreciation of the fact that God can do anything He wants to do
 But to. him who has no such faith, St. Christopher medal is of the exact same use as a four-leaf clover, a buckeye, or a rabbits foot-no use at all except perhaps to reveal openly a silly supersti- ton.

More and more danger on the road. More and more deaths on the highway. More and more St. Christopher medals in automo- piles.
 Medals? What good can they do? Can they put new treads on old tires? Can they tighten brakes that are loose? Can they keep blinding lights from the eye?
 They can Not A medal is inert matter. It has no power in itself. But, listeri! On it is the likeness of a saint-a third-century martyr who, tradition tells us, spent much of his earthly time Tn transporting folks in safety across turbulent stream-thereby becoming the pa tron saint of all travellers.
 But what use can a third-cen- tury saint be tO a twentieth-cen- 'ury motorist?
 No use in his own right, but lots of use to him who believes in the intercesSiOn of the saints.
