Averell Har- riman is likely to be appointed Sec- retary of State to replace Dean Acheson before Oct. 1.

There is no plan whatever | to relieve Mr. Acheson as Secretary | of State.” | Harriman is now | mission to Iran. | Saying that President Truman in the past has refused to consider Acheson’s offers to resign, the Post added: . “In recent months, however, he has come around to. the view that Acheson’s retirement would ‘be best for everyone concerned, including the enibattled secretary himself.” 39 Aliens Ordered Rearresfed by U.

'Disputed Judgeship Appointment Put |Off by Subcommitfee WASHINGTON, ‘' Aug. 4, —P— A Senate subcommittee put off for a week a hearing on a Chicago federal judgeship appointment op- posed by Senator Douglas (D-IID. Chairman McCarran (D-Nev) postponed the hearing on Presi- dent Truman’s controversial nom- ination of Cornelius J. Harring- ton at the request of the justice | department. Peyton Ford, deputy Attorney General, asked for the delay to give the department additional time to study Harrington’s qual- ifications. The -hearing had been scheduled to start this morning. It was put off until next Friday. The Justice Department’s re- quest was surprising since the usual custom is for the White House to “clear” a nomination of a federal judge with the de- partment before it is sent to the Senate, Douglas seeks to block Senate confirmation of Mr. Truman's choices for two of three Chicago judgeships: Harrington and Jos- eph J. Drucker. The Senator rec- ;ommended two other men. Douglas and the President agreed on a third judge nominee: Joseph Sam Perry. Douglas has said he denounces the method of the appointments of Harrington and Drucker as “personally obnoxious.” On the basis of past perform- ances, the Senate likely will up- hold Douglas’ position on the nominees.
