Senator Taft still thinks
President-elect Eisenhower's ap-
pointment of Martin p. Durkin
as Secretary Of Labor is "in-
credible"
He is saying so in form let
tiers sent out from his Office In

test Of the appointment.
According to the contents of

exactly as if he had appointed

or even Senator McCarran, or
Senator Jenner. or Senator Nc
Carthy."
I. Jack Martin. Senator Taft's
administrative assistant, ex-
planned that the letter was based
on one originally written by the
Ohio Senator to an individual
who was very much interested
in international affairs and who
had written in regarding the
Senator's criticism of the Dur
kin appointment.
For that reason. Mr.. Martin
explained, the letter contained
the references to Senators Nc
Carran, Jenner and Mccarthy as
an Illustration of a point Senator
Taft was making regarding the
appointment of Mr.. Durkin.

It is the first attempt to break

800 tons-$40,0 900 worth-of oil
purchased from Trans national
lied oil industry by Italian and
Swiss firms.
Britain claims all oil from the

A Justice Department spokes-
man explained later that a GRIM
inal trial would require publica-
tion of the companies secret
papers. He said, however, that
in a civil suit. the companies
could turn over their records to
the Government and then sign
a consent decree promising to
abandon any practices which the
Government found Objectionable
In this way, the records never
would be made public.

Mr.. Dean. however, told re-
porterS that such reasoning was
ridiculous" because too many
people would have to handle the
material. In any case, he said,
Standard of Jersey is not COM
mitting any illegal acts and does
not feel it has to sign any con-
sent decree.
If the companies continue to
fight back, it would appear diff
ficult, if not impossible, for the
Government to press either a
criminal or civil suit without
publishing the material, which
President Truman now seems to
feel should be kept from foreign
eyes. This seemed to put the
oil companies in the strongest
position since the grand jury
investigation began.
Curt Rejection.
Mr.. Dean told a news confer
ence that he made a flat and
curt" rejection of President Tru-
mans proposal when it was
spelled out to the oil company
attorneys during a meeting in
the Office Of Mr.. McGranery yes
terday.
''Mr. McGranery glared at us
and said he was not going to
answer any questions" Mr.. Dean
said, in describing the attorneys
visit to the Justice Department.
"I protested that, you are hold
ing a gun at our head
"He got very angry and said
1t was a cold-turkey proposition
that we could take it or
leave it.
II told him we felt that this
was blackmail by high Govern
ment official. On behalf Of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
I made fiat and curt rejection.

want no part of it, and we reject
it in it's entirety"

House Changes Rules
To Let Members Join
Extra Committees
Bv Robert K. Welsh

The House today changed its
rules so that it's members could
serve on more than one major
committee.
The change was supported by
the Democratic minority as well
as the Republican majority.
G. o. P leaders said they wanted
the revision because they have
only 219 members exclusive of
Speaker Martin and Floor Lead
er Halleck, to fill 237 places
available on major committees.
Democrats Back Move.
Democratic leaders said they
favored the amendment because
the only alternative would have
been to reduce the size of sew
eral committees. This would
have meant the dropping of
some Democrats from those COM
mitteeS.
House rules have provided that
members could not serve on
more than one major committee,
but could serve on such a COM
mittee while a member of one of
the smaller groups such as the
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities. Republican Leader Hal
leck told the House that, under
the rule change, the G. o. P. will
assign the fewest possible num-
ber of it's members to two major
committees.
Limited to Two Groups.
1t was estimated that about Is
or 16 Republican members will
thus be appointed to two major
committees.
No member of the House will
serve on more than two commit
tees, large or small.
The Republican Committee on
Committees hoped to submit to
Speaker Martin tomorrow the
complete list of suggested as
signments for the Committees on
Rules, Ways and Means, Appro-
priation, Armed Services and
House Administration. Later this
week, the other committee as
signments were expected to be
completed.

Federal Action Urged To Save Alaska Steam

SEATTLE, RAFederal action to save the Alaska Steamship Company's passenger service was urged Monday by Al Shyman, chairman of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Alaska Division.
 Withdrawal of Alaska Steam passenger liners would leave most of the territory without ocean pas senger service, Shyman warned, as well as shove Seattle into the background as key port to Alaska.
 The shipping firm may be forced to discontinue passenger service after next month, General Manager D. E. Skinner has warned, because of booming costs and difficulties of the trade.
 Naturally, we hope a solution to the problem can be found" Shyman said. "That, in our opin- ion, can only be done by the Mil itary Sea Transportation Services diverting some of its passenger service to privately-owned steam ship lines"
 Before 194O, he recalled, heavy travel of military personnel and their dependents on private ships gave the Alaska Line a rich source of revenue.
 The federal government took over this transportation with World War II, and in recent months Uncle Sam has denied Alaska Steam petitions for the right to carry dependents of mili- tary personnel aboard it's ships.
 Withdrawal of passenger ser vice in Seattle, Shyman pointed out, would weaken Seattle's com petitive position against the Can adian city of Prince Rupert, B.C. Lying 600 miles closer to Alaska than Puget Sound, the Canadian port now threatens serious in roads on Seattle's Alaska trade. N>~,1 N,,~~a@

Scientists Discover Easy Way to Kill Crawling insects
New Liquid Kills Reaches and Ants

ID CACHES and ants are the

controls crawling pests. It is
called Johnston'S NO-ROACH.
Developed after years of re-

so powerful that one applica-
ton remains effective for
months. Best of all, NO-ROACH
