Win .n unpubuclzed incident occurred u > Federal Power Commission 1ecently which illustrates why Har: ry Truman is almost certain not to he elected President of the United Stutes even if he chooses to run. The incident involved a poker- playing crony of the President's, who delib- erately cut his chief's throat. This has become a favorite pat- tern in Washington. The White House outlines a policy, frequently a fine and courageous policy. Then the President appoints men who throw that policy in the ditch Thal’s why the Truman adminis- tration is being called the “talk- big-do-little” administration. This was what he did on one of the most important battles he has waged in the past year—his veto of the Kerr Natural Gas bill. The bill was authorized by a friend of his, powerful, popular Sen Bob Kerr of Oklahoma. But it would have boosted the price of gas to city populations everywhere, and also boosted the profits of the oil and gas companies So Truman vetoed it. Yet, believe it or not, the Federal Power Commission has now sec- cretly overruled the Pres pol-! jcy and completely nulll his ve: to. What the Kerr b the Federal Power Com not have jurisc the price of natural gas goir interstate pipelines. The P overruling the Kerr bill, Power Commission did have juris- diction. as that o did to regulate ng into Secret Vote But, by a secret 4-to-1 vote, the FPC has now decided not to take jurisdiction over the higgest pro- ducer of natural gas, Phillips Pet- roleum, thus directly reversing the President and giving the oil and gas moguls their greatest victory in years, Incidentally, housewives in the ) cities of north, midwest and southwest can look for hikes in the price of their gas very shortly. Significantly also—Senator Kerr is one of the biggest suppliers of natural gas to Phillips Petroleum He owns several leases in partner- ship with Phillips, while his Kerr- McGee Oil Company owns an est- | imated $100,000,000 in natural gas reserves. His gross income of $12, 000,000 a year makes him the wealthiest man in the Senate. Truman’s Crony Most amazing thing about the Fed: Power Commission debate was Lhe y the President’s poker playing chairman Mon Wall- gren, actually broke into the fi nal arguments of the attorneys defend- ing the public to quote excerpts from the Kerr bill “] want to hear something about | what Congress thought,” Wallgren | |into a brawl with James H.

In Uhardly At one point, Wallgrgn nearly got | The argument got so hot that Lee toward the commission and Wallgren pushed back ready for action. How- ever, aged commissioner Claude Draper headed Lee off by dashing the bench and planting himself in front of Lee. Wallgren also baited William Torkelson, counsel for the Wiscon- bench, fact, the FPC chairman seemed to go out of his way to undercut the man in the White House who ap- pointed him One of Wallgren’s tactics was to bombard pro-con- sumer lawyers with so many ques- tions that they didn’t have time to sum up their arguments. For ex-| ample, FPC attorney McAllister | was limtied to two hours to present the public’s case. Yet Wallgren | hurled so many irrelevant questions at him that McAllister never fin- | ished his “presentation. Finally, Commissioner Buchanan blurted angrily: “Don’t you think we might have a little | more argument from counsel?” | An Old Man Gets Tired One day, following these oral ar- | guments, Wallgren called a surprise closed-door meeting to decide the Phillips case. Staif members could believe it when the motion to rule in favor of Phillips and re- verse the President’s policy was of- fered by Commissioner Draper, man who had battled tooth nail against the Kerr bill only a year ago. It may be significant that Dra- per’s confirmation for another term was held up by the Senate Inter- state and Foreign Commerce Com- mittee last month. Now 76 yes old, and most of his life a public servant, Draper has no money and little to live on if the Senate had failed to confirm him. Though Draper flatly denies it, members of his own staff claim that the Senators held up his con- firmation until he agreed to re- verse himself on the Kerr bill. Sig- nificantly, he was finally approved | for another term only on June 21, just one day before his previous term ran out Those voting with Draper against | the President and in favor of the: oil and gas interests were Commis- sioners Nelson Lee Smith, Harring- tan ‘Wimberly, a friend of Senator Kerr's from Oklahoma, and chair- man Wallgren. Only Buchanan vo- ted for the public. | Note—Here is what President Truman said about the Kerr bill a year ago in his veto message: “This bill would preclude the Federal Power Commission from regulating sales of natural gas to interstate pipeline companies. . . The contin- uance of that authority will ade- quately protect the public interest by permitting the commission to prevent unreasonable and excessive ices which would give large wind- fall profits to gas producers at the expense of the consumers.

The plane’s gear was damaged when a landing was effected on the hard airstrip surface with skiis partly below wheel level. After taking off from the icefield, me- chanical trouble developed in the ski raise and lower mechanism re- sulting in the half-way condition. Although the crew knew trouble they were unable to de- termine the extent. Anthony Thomas of the U. S.¢ Forest Service, and Pfc. William McKibbin, an Air Force photogra- pher, were flown to the icecap on the trip. Heading the C-47 crew is Lt. Col. Wallace G. Walton, commanding of- { ficer of Flight “A,” 10th Air Rescue Squadron, Captain Victor H. Rudd and Lt. Richard N. Marsh. A second plane, a Boeing B-17| type, from Elmendorf Air Force base and the 10th Rescue Squadron, arrived at Juneau this morning with | new skiis and fittings to repair the C-47 for flights later in the day. Air Force crewmen of the C-82] “flying boxcar” stood by their plane most of yesterday, anticipating a break in the. overcast which would allow the para-drop of two “wea- sels” and other much needed equip- ment to Maynard Miller’s crew. The weather man was more insistant. Ceilings over the icefield were ex- pected to lift late today, allowing the operation to be completed.
