Too Busy to Talk Of FEC Post
New Commissioner

Robert E. Lee. former House
Appropriations Committee in
vestigator and FBI man, was
hard at work today as a mem
ber of the Federal Communica-
tionS Commission, too busy to
talk to reporters about his quail
ffications for his new job.
Mr.. Lee was sworn in yester-
day, a few hours after his in
terim appointment-still subject
to Senate confirmation - had
been announced at the White
House. President Eisenhower's
reasons for choosing the 41-year-
old Washingtonian became an
immediate subject of speculation
in business and political circles.
Politically, Mr.. Lee is a close
friend and associate of Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin. Mrs. Lee was Mrs.
McCarthy's matron of honor
at the Senator's recent wedding.
In 1850, the Lees and Senator
Mccarthy helped John Marshall
Butler unseat Millard Tydings
in a widely disputed senatorial
campaign in Maryland.
Professionally, Mr.. Lee hith-
erto has had little to do with

with the broadcasting business,
so far as could be learned, has

Mr.. Nixon, long supporter
of Hawaii statehood, is expected
publicly to urge stronger efforts
in the next congressional session
to force early action.
Senator Knowland, the Re-
publican Senate leader, told
newsmen yesterday that if the
statehood bill could be brought
to the floor by February "the
votes are all there to pass it. "
Delays in reaching a vote on
the measure prevented action at
the last session on this Republic
can-pledged issue.
Senator Knowland predicted
the House, which twice has ap-
proved statehood, will vote for
the measure again.
Mr.. Nixon told newsmen he
will be ready on his Far Eastern
trip to report Immediately to the
White House any problems he
might discover that might re-
quire immediate attention of
President Eisenhower.
The President, Mr.. Nixon said,
had asked him ito report i'm

dents conversations with the
heads of 18 governments. Mr..
