Man from Missouri Shows Them: Truman Is Pradical Polifician Rv Jack Stinnett £ WASHINGTON, June 23—Presi- dent Roosevelt has been referred to citen as the greatest “practical poli- tician” of our time. " Since he swung the electorate for four consecutive terms, there can be very little argu- ment to the contrary. But political observers here now are saying: When it comes right down to prac- tical politics, we give you President Truman.” re are few persons who know inside of what happened in the case of David Lilienthal’s nom- ation for another nine-year term as director of the Tennessee Valley Authcrity. Those pe ns aren't talking. However, in view of what has been made public, the behind-the-scenes story isn't hard to credit. A few months ago, Sens. Kenneth McKellar and Tom Stewart, of Tennessee, long-time fces of the TVA Director, were so far from con- curring in Lilientha reappoint- ment that colleagues freely predict- €d a filibuster if it appeared certain that the TVA director might be con- firmed. Then President Roosevelt died and President Truman took over. Within a few weeks it was known that he was going to send Lilien- thal’'s name up for reappointment. He did. + Somewhers along the line, Presi- c¢ent Truman managed to circum- vent this troublesome matter. Senater Stewart and Senator Mc- Kellar, who succeeded to Truman’s Job as president pro tem of the Sen- ate and holds enough other key posi- tions in the upper chamber to be dubbed the most powerful man in the Senate today, greeted Presi- dent Truman’s nomination of Lil- iznthal with one of the truly re- arkable statements on record. “We oppose the confirmation of as TVA administrator,” the Senators said *jointly. “He was e passengers south on the North first appointed without consultation with us, and has been against us ever since.” At another point they declared: Glen D. Cope, of Palmer, is a “We have thus been compelled to cppose his vacillating, cunning, un- SECRETS OF ‘OPERATION PLUTO' NOW REVEALED = lines were_laid and (International Soundphoto) VERGALA IN "JAP PLANE SHOT DOWN IN SURPRISE ATTACK TOWN MOMENTOES OF LUPE VELEZ ARE " AUCTIONED OFF mementoes of Lupe Valez were in her luxurious garden yester ranging from $57,300 worth of jewels and furs to dust mcps, pancake turners and potato mashers.
