McCarran Sees Rejection
OF Drucker Judgeship
BY the Associated Press

Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, predicted today a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee he heads
will reject unanimously President
Truman's nomination of Joseph j.
Drucker as Federal judge in Illi-
nois.
Judge Drucker's nomination has
been opposed by Senator Douglas
of Illinois, along with that of Cor
nelius j. Harrington.
Senator McCarran told a re-
porter he believes the full Judi
ciary Committee, which he also
heads, will follow the subcom-
mittee in voting to turn down the
appointment.
This would send the nomination
to the Senate with an unfavor-
able recommendation, a procedure
usually followed by Senate re-
lection of the appointment in
question.
Meanwhile Charles Vandevan-
der, Democratic national public
ity director, deneid that a $100-a-
plate Democratic dinner planned
for Chicago on September 8 had
been postponed because Of party
strife over the judgeship matter.
Mr.. Vandevander said Jacob
Arvey, Illinois Democratic leader,
had complained earlier in the year
that the date was not a good one
for fund-raising dinner and an
agreement had been reached then
to delay it until December.

not want it said that they were
afraid to publish the message from

Their counter move, therefore,
was not to ignore the American
