Senator KerrWins AnotherFiqht
Provisional Candidate for President Blocks Truman
Plan to Name Strong Man to Power Commission

Mckinney and Vice Chairman
India Edwards. They all went to-
bat for MIR. McKeough as the
man most likely to check the
supsurging natural gas rates.
now having political effect IN q
number Of States.
But Senator Kerr and his
associates were too much for
them. They succeeded in con-
vincing the President that Mr..
McKeough could not be con-
f1rmed or, at best. could only be
confirmed after a long and bitter
battle, disruptive Of party har.
mony in this election year.
So the President settled on q
less controversial figure, Dale E.
Doty, Assistant Secretary Of the
Interior in charge Of public land
management. How strong a man
Mr.. Doty is remains to be seen.
His chief, Secretary Chapman,
indorses him and that's in his
favor. The Kerr element accepts
him and that raises a question.
For the new commissioner. If he
is disposed to fight for the pub
lie, will sooner or later find him
self in a fight that isn't fought
for fun-not for fun, but for
millions.

Diplomatic Victory for the SoIets
Wedge Driven Between Broin and Over For East Policy
Americans Losing Interest Protecting Western Europe

a5t g.
China to Egypt and Tunisia,
and Mr. Churchill now laments
the fact that this has brought
about the wide scattering OF
Western divisions Of troops
which could make a more for
midable showing IL massed In
Europe.
The mention Of what might
have happened almost naiyely
confirms the sllrewdnesS Of the
Soviet strategy and makes one
wonder whether the Commu-
nists were ever expected to take
lying down the North Atlantic
treaty, proposed German re-
armament. and the aid given
Turkey and Greece without
adopting countermeasures Of
their own.
What makes the British
American relationship at this
moment so dangerous is that
the leaders of both parties in
the House Of Commons are un-
aware they are playing with
fire. They do not sense that
Senator Taft and former Pres
ident Hoover are questioning
European good faith, and that
means very definitely the good
faith Of the British govern
ernment. For the British should
recall how hard it was between
1914 and 1917 to rally Ameri-
can sentiment to aid the cause
Of Britain and France, and how
difficult were the months be-
tween September. 1899. and De-
cember, 1941. before American
power could be brought into
play in maximum amount to
assist the victims Of Nazi ag-
greSSion.
1t comes with Ill grace, there
fore, for a man Of the stature Of
former Prime Minister Attlee to
say in the, midst OF debate that
he believes the American people
are, In effect, warmongers and
that sentiment in the United
States is eager for an all-out
third world war. There have
even been intimations that the
American Government has not
been sincere in its conduct Of
the truce negotiations. Such
comments from Moscow would
not have been surprising, but
the whole tone Of the Labor
Party spokesmen in the recent
debates was so sharply accusa-
tory against the American Gov
ernment that even the discus
sion In the American press Of
hypothetical steps that might
be taken II o truce were con-
summated and then broken

merely o1shoots of the charac-
teristics suggested above. arr
The Senator is In the oil
business, president Of Kerr-Mc-
Ghee Oil Industries. Inc. It is
q business that has made him
rich and promises to make him
much richer. now that the Fed
eral Power Commission is ruling
against any Federal control Of
natural gas rates in the field.
The Senator's insensitivity was
revealed soon after he took his
seat in this, his first term. He
fathered a bill to take from
the FPC the authority 1t has
since relinquished over those
rates. He fathered q bill, in
other words, to make himself
richer. Protests that he was
seeking legislation in which he
had a direct financial interest
didn't deter him.
The bill passed. q tribute to
Kerr's instructive skill as q leg
islative horse-trader. President
Truman vetoed it, using pretty
sharp language. But In the
meantime Kerr, aided by other
oil representatives In the Sem
ate, had blocked confirmation Of
o member Of the FPC, reap
pointed by the President. ThiI
was done through some fan
tastic hearings designed to
prove that Leland Olds, the
commissioner in question, was q
'red" or guilty Of tendencies in
that direction. The real COM
plaint against Olds was his in
sistence that the FPC could and
should protect the consumers Of
natural gas. He had conducted
the studies that revealed the
size OF the stakes involved, the
hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
Unable to break through the
senatorial barrier. the Presi-
dent withdrew the nomination
and substituted one of his
weaker friends. This gentleman,
in due time, ruled in q way to
suit Senator Kerr. Recently,
however, he retired and the
President undertook once again
to name q strong man. First
