jority Leader Mccormack on Theo-
dore Granik's American Forum Of
the Air over Station VOL and tele-
vision station WOIC.
MI. Mccormack said he believed
Senator Brewster's pension plan
would cost about SIS, ,000, DOC, 900 a

with this estimate and said the cost
would be no more expensive than
the "excesses" of the Truman ad-

Subcommittee DELAYS
Action on Tamm After
New Protest From Bar

= The nomination Of Edward A.
Tamm to be a District Court Judge
was passed over today after a re-
newed protest by the District Bar
Association.
a. The jurists nomination was
brought up by Chairman McCarran
OF the Senate Judiciary Committee,
but he announced it would be put
aside for future consideration in
view Of the bar associations rro-
test and the absence of two other
members assigned to consider the
Tamm nomination. No representa-
tives from the bar association ap-
peared.
Two members of the subcommit-
tee which conducted hearings on
the nomination in the 80th Con-
gress told Senator McCarran they
thought no further hearings were
necessary. The members were Sen
.ator Kilgore, Democrat, of West
Virginia, who had supported Judge
Tamm in the last Congress, and Sen
ator Donnell, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, who had voted against him.
Letter Restates Position.
. Judge Tamm, former assistant to
the director of the FBI, has been
serving in District Court under a
recess appointment.
The bar group, in its letter read
into the record by Senator McCar-
ran, said it opposed the nomination
on the same grounds set forth dur
ing the previous hearings. Princi-
pal objection raised by the bar was
that Judge Tamm had never prac-
ticed law in a court.
The letter was from the Bar ASso-
eiation's Judicial Selection Commit
tee and was signed by Committee
Chairman Walter M. BaStian. 1t
asked the. Judiciary Committee to
give consideration" to the position
of the association as outlined in the
extensive hearings.
Favored by Subcommittee.
Other members of the committee
are past presidents Of the Bar Asso-
eiation: Godfrey L. Munter, Austin
r. Garfield, Paul B. Cromelin, Fran
els W. Hill, jr.. and Hugh H. Obear.
The first nomination of Judge
Tamm was reported favorably in a
3-to-1 subcommittee vote, but the
full Judiciary Committee never
acted.
President Truman sent a second
nomination to Congress during its
special session last year. When no
action was forthcoming he sent a
third nomination to the 81st Con-
gress.
In addition to Senator McCarran,
the subcommitte considering the
Tamm nomination this time in
cludes Senator Miller, Democrat. of
Idaho. and Senator Jenner, Repub-
ncan, Of Indiana. Senator McCar-
ran Indicated his subcommittee
would meet later to consider the
nomination.

ton Of $480, ,702 $40 to finance activi-
ties in the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of the Government

about SIS, 100000 is for insurance
cleans, largely from the Philippine
Republic.
The Post Office Department is
getting $70,000,000 for mail tranpor-
tation and mail messenger service.
One allotment of $95, 900 is to per-
NIT the Office of Defense Transpor-
tation to continue operations through
June 80. This is the last operating
agency left from the network of
wartime emergency groups.
The President also asked 81, SOC, 900
for displaced persons activities and
$l5, 100000 for the War Assets Ad-
ministration. This agency was due
to go out of business February %,

tion of the proposed property man
lagement legislation in the present
session of Congress"
The President also asked for
$2l5 900 to continue the program of
voluntary ALLEGATION of scarce ma
terials contingent on the passage of
new legislation to extend this pro-
gram.

was $1,175,000 for the Bureau Of For
