Millard Tydings, D., Md, chairman - of the Armed Services | committee, and Sen. Chan. Gurney, N. D, ranking Republican member of the committee. In a stormy appearance before the committee, Johnson stated the proposed extra- ordinary salary arrangement has President Truman's approval As a Senator curing the war, the' President repeatedly condemned the employment of $l-a-year men. Leading the fight against Ilgen-| fritz are Sens. Harry Byrd, D., Va.,= Lyndon Johnson, D., Texas, and ‘Wayne Morse, O., Oregon. The last two tangled hotly with Secretary Johnson at a closed-door meeting. | “Permitting this man to con- tinue to draw his private salary while working for the government would be unsound public pollcy," Senator Johnson argued. “It would do more harm than any good the government could possibly get out of Tigenfritz.” Morse was equally emphatic. He told Johnson: “Democracy can be no stronger than the confidence of the people in their government. This appoint- ment will shake that canfidence to its roots. It is just as*impoftant that the man heading the Muni- tions Board be kept free from sus- picion as once it was important that Caesar’s wife be kept free of ! Truman’s “Point Four” foreign-aid | grain suspicion. As head of this cru- business, the' outlook for Ilgenfrit is not promising. “POINT FOUR” AID One important segment of ‘Amer- ican industry is putting President | uu program into effect without govern- ment financing. The innovators are the United Hybrid Growers of Iowa. Consisting of 31 concerns oper- ating plant-breeding farms and seed processing plants in the corn- belt states, the group has been ask- ed by European governments to ad- vise them on how to develop hy-! brid corn and disease-resistant in order to increase good crops. | John W.

In 1946, his group I sent 66 varieties of hybrid corn to Ttalian cornj Italy. As a result, production on the experimental farms has soared to 120 bushels per acre, as against a previous high of 30 bushels and a European av- | erage of 12 bushels. STORMY WEATHER California Democrats ‘aren't the only ones having inner party trouble. The Republicans are also clawing one another. Latest outburst is a naymaker' hurled by Republican Rep. Rlchard] J. Welch, San Francisco, at Gov. Ear] Warren. Welch has served 25 consecutive years in Congress and is the dean of the California delegation. ~An ardent follower of the late Sena-1! tor Hiram Johnson, Welch is a militant liberal. He rarely inter= cial defense agency, Ilgenfritz must (venes in state politics, but his Irish be in a position where no' finger can be pointed at him on any grounid. fense should be subsidized by the dominant steel interests of country. ¥ office.” To these arguments, Secretary Johnson countered with the con- tention that Ilgenfritz is “indispen- sable.” “That indispensable doctrine is absurd,” snapped Morse. “It is ridiculous to say there is only one man for that job out of 150,000,000 Americans. If you will look around, you will find other men just as good who wili not insist on sal- aries from outside sources all out of proportion to what other citizens expect their government to pay‘ them. I will never agree that the patriotism of American businessmen ! has a price tag on it.” | A majority of the Senate com-| mittee favors confirmation.
