TRUMAN, DOUGLAS DISCUSS VACANCY President Talks Over In terior Secretaryship With Associate Justice WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—(U.R)— President Truman said Thursday that he had discussed with Associ ate Justice William O. Dauglos the position of secretary of interior. But Mr. Truman also said he did not think he should have two ca binet members from the state of Washington. Douglas is from that state, and so is Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach. Press Puzzled Reporters were puzzled at the end of Mr. Truman’s news con ference over just what Douglas’ status is in Mr. Truman’s efforts to fill the vacancy left by resig nation of Harold L. Ickes. Mr. Truman said at the outset that he had discussed the post with Douglas. Then he was asked whether he had offered the job to Douglas. Truman Retreats Mr. Truman retreated to his previous phraseology, saying he had discussed the matter with the justice. Information pieced together from other sources indicated that the position had been offered to Douglas, that many democrats were putting pressure on Douglas to take it, but that he was re luctant to leave the Supreme court and probably would not do so. President Smiles Mr. Truman was asked whether he would nominate Gov. Mon (?. Wallgren of Washington. The pres ident smiled and said that Wall gren would make a fine secretary of interior. But, he said again, he did not think he should have two eahinet members from the came state. To a reporter’s remark that Douglas was a legal resident ot Connecticut, the president said, no, Douglas is a legal resident of Walla Walla. Wash. Excludes Douglas “That would seem to exclude Justice Douglas?” a reporter said. Draw your own conclusions, the president remarked. A flurry of questions rang out from reporters asking for a clear er statement of Douglas’ position. The president in response to sev eral questions said that his state ment did not exclude Douglas. “Is the implication, then, that To Stay Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach is leaving the cabinet?” he was asked. The president said that Schwel lenbach is going to stay as secre tary of labor just as long as he wants to stay. He said the same thing applied to Secretary of Agri culture Clinton P. Anderson, who has been mentioned for the in terior post. The president offered no clues as to when he will fill the interior vacancy, except to say that he has not made his decision. 1 Americans are the largest own ers of crude oil reserves outside the United States, with the British and Dutch second. SCHOOL LUNCHES BILL HITS SNAG outhern Democrats Say Measure Amended To Deny Sounds Of This Area WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—(U.R) - The House hit a new snag on le $65,000,000 school lunch pro ram Thursday as southern Demo rats charged that the measure ad been amended to deny funds 5 southern states. Jtouse leaders clung to the hope lat the complications could be leared up in time for a final vote y nightfall. n .'U The rift began developing late esterday when the House tenta ively approved a racial anti-dis :rimination amendment offered by lep. Adam Clayton Powell, Negro democrat from New York. The imendment, still subject to a roll rail vote, would prohibit discrimin ition in distribution of funds for he lunch program. Southerners rose up in arms de spite claims of some member hat the amendment would not bar iunds to states which segreagated students of different races. Means Separation “Everybody knows segrega ;ion means separation,” Rep. Eu gene Cox, D., Ga., told the House, ‘and of course, everybody knows segregation is discrimination.” Rep. W. R. Poage, D., Tex., then oegan reading a definition of dis crimination from a 'huge dic tionary to support Cox. Would Hit South Cox and other southern Demo crats said the Powell amendment would unquestionably mean that southern states would not be en titled to school lunch funds. Rep. Jerry Voorhis, D., Calif., ardent school lunch proponent, old the House he thought it was I ‘perfectly clear” that the anti-dis ;rimination amendment would bar southern schools. He expressed iear that the bill would be defeat ;d if it stayed in. For Supplies The controversy developed just oefore the House got to what pre viously had been considered the bill’s major hurdle. That was a provision to use $15,000,000 of the $65,000,000 for supplies, equipment, training of supervisory help and nutritional education. Its supporters said the job would be only half done if $50,000,000 an nually were used to feed children, and no effort was made to educate them in nutrition. Inspection Of All Cars Favored By Maj. Hatcher RALEIGH, Feb. 21—(U.R)—Major H. J. Hatcher, of the state highway patrol, would require that all vehic les in the state pass an inspection test before being allowed to aperate on the highways. “Since we don’t have such Leg islation,” Hatcher said, “Many cars, which have been turned down in others states on inspection tests, are winding up in North Carolina. In other words, the state is the dumping ground for worn-out cars. “And no doubt some of the acci dents of today are being caused by such defective automotive equip ment. The one way to rid the highways of unsafe cars is to adopt legislation to do so.” Half a million of the known organic chemicals can be produced from oil.
