TEXANS IN THE NEWS
It’s "Mr. Justice Tom Clark”
now. The Senate last week by a
vote of 73 to 8 approved the nom:
ination of the former Texan as a
member of the U. S. Supreme
Court. To succeed him as Attorney
General, the Senate unanimously
approved one of its own members,
J. Howard McGrath of Rhode Is-
land.
William L. Clayton, a partner
in one of the largest cotton firms
in the world, is a distinguished
Texan who has served in several
capacities in the government. Last
week he retired by resigning his
position with the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund.
A syndicate of 40 investment
bankers, with offices in New York,
Boston and Toledo, offered to loan
$18 million to the Lower Colorado
River Authority for constructing
new dams and power facilities in
Central Texas last week, at an in-
terest rate of 2.7 per cent.
TROUBLE WITH CONGRESS
Members of Congress disregarded
the urgent request of President
Truman last week for approval of
a $1.5 billion fund to supply arms
to nations who are partners in the
North Atlantic defense treaty. The
House cut the money requested by
the president approximately in half
with the understanding that in six
months they will consider passing
the remainder of the appropriation
if they find the arms program is
going according to plan. The Senate
still has a chance to restore the
full amount.
President Truman won 2 rounds
and lost one last week in his cam-
paign for obtaining Congressional
approval of his plans for reorgan-
izing the executive branch of the
federal government. The proposal
to create a Department of Public
Welfare, with a Cabinet status was
defeated. However two other parts
of the reorganization plan were
approved.
