WASHINGTON, July 17-flV
Senator Paul Douglas- (D-Ill) to
day challenged President Tru-
man's decision to go over the sen
ator's head in nominating two fed
eral judges.;
Douglas asked the Chicago and
Cook county, 111., bar associations
to take a poll to decide which two
men are better qualified! the sen
ator's candidates or the .men the
president nominated. j
The conflict arose . from Mr.
Truman's July 13 nomination of
Judge Cornelius J. Harrington and
Municipal Judge Joseph Drucker
to fill two new pqsts in the feder
al district court for northern Illi
nois.
This was nearly six months aft
er Douglas, acting according to
what he called "time honored prac
tice, had recommended the ap
pointment of William H. King, jr.
and Judge Benjamin P. Epstein.
Douglas complained that the pres
ident did not consult him on he
judgeships.
Congressional insiders interpret
ed the president's appointments as
another indication of a growing
coolness between him and the Illi
nois senator. '
