Gore Will Push Fight
On Campbell, but
Sees Confirmation

Senator Gore, Democrat, of
Tennessee, said he would carry
to the Senate today his opposi-
ton to Joseph Campbell's nomi-
nation to be Controller General
but that he expected him to be
confirmed.
Mr.. Campbell, nominated by
President Eisenhower for the

mended last week, by an "a
vote, that Mr.. Campbell be con-
firmed. Chairman Mcclellan,
Democrat, Of Arkansas, who
voted with the committee ma
jority, said he knew of no or
ganized effort to block Senate
approval.
Senator Gore said "this is a
congressional position and the
understanding in the past has
been that the appointment
would be made on the advice of
Congress. but Congress seems to
have had no hand in this selec-
ton"
He added that if Congress is
to preserve its right to determine
who shall head "its own agency"
it should reject Mr.. Campbell.
Senator Gore also said he did
not regard Mr.. Campbell, an
accountant by profession and a
former treasurer of Columbia
University in New York, as
qualified for the position on the
basis of his experience.
Other opponents of Mr.. Camp
bells nomination also have con-
tended that he had neither the
legal nor legislative background
required of an official serving the
congressional branch of the Gov
eminent.
Senator Erwin, Democrat. of
North Carolina, one of the COM
mittee members who voted
against approving the appoint
ment, said Mr.. Campbell has had
Limited experience" in Govern
ment and such as he has had
