WASHINGTON-rOregon Republican leaders have been burning the midnight oil over federal statutes since inaugration day to deter mine how many and which Democrats they can hoist out of office in Oregon to make room for their own friends. j ". The number is relatively small, compared to depression days when make-work assignments were handed out each morning alter break fast by former Senator Alfred E. Reams during his brief appointive term in 1938 and by former gov ernor Walter Pierce in the early thirties while he was still in favor with President Roosevelt as Congressman. , 1 . .' "V Prosperity and civil service have cut down both the appeal and the number of federal jobs that automatically . change hands with the advent of a new administra tion. Biggest, plums are federal 3 udgeships but today mere are no vancancies on the bench, and Republicans will have to await death or retirement of present Judges before appointing ' their own. Ironically, there is a Re- mblican appointee sitting as sen or Judge of the U. S. . District Court of Oregon at Portland. He is James Alger Fee, who was ap pointed by President Hoover in 1931. The other two judges were Democratic appointees Judge Claude McCulloch in 1937 and Talbot t to Face Questioning on Air Force Job WASHINGTON UPi The Senate Armed Services Committee Satur day called Harold . Talbott to a public hearing Monday for further questioning on his nomination as secretary of the air force. Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn) said he wants to ask Talbott about two re . ports that "raise questions of pub lic policy which are important to have clarified. Kefauver said he voted against Talbot's nomination Thursday when the committee overwhelm ingly approved . it, because he wanted time to study several documents. Among these, he said, are two he wants "clarified" by Talbott, 65-year-old executive of Chrysler and other corporations, who 'has agreed to sell his stock in govern- men t-contr acting firms. His nom ination is on the Senate calendar for a vote on confirmation Mon- ' day. Kefauver identified the two re ports as: 1. A 1951 House report by a De- fense Investigating Subcommittee - headed by Rep. Hardy (D-Va). He said it charged that questionable price and trade agreements in the automotive industry -forced the ?;overnment to pay 305 million dol ars extra for automobile parts from 1949-51. 2. A World War I report which raised many questions about the Dayton Wright Co., then making aircraft for the government. Tal bott was then president of Dayton Wright Co., later acquired by Gen eral Motors and liquidated after a long court battle with the govern ment over profits and taxes. When he appeared before the committee, Talbott was questioned about the aviation report, made by the late Charles Evans Hughes. He said there was nothing im proper in his or the company's ac tion on the World War I contracts. ICELAND POWER NEW YORK (INS)- Iceland's housewives, long plagued with that country's shortage of wood and coal, soon will be provided with more abundant electric pow er. Generators capable of produc ing nearly 55,000 horsepower, are being Installed at two new major hydro-electric power plants how under construction at the cities of Bogsvirkjun and Laxavirkjun. Judge Gus J. Solomon in 1949. Judgeships pay ? 15,000. Aim at Hess Job In the next most vital spots there will be a handful of vacan cies in the U. S. attorney's office for Oregon. Attorney Henry,-X He,ss was I appointed in 1950 for a four year term at $9,600. Al though his term isn't due to expire until next year, Republicans have found that the law says he serves at the pleasure of the President. The Justice Department itself in terprets this to mean all U. S. at torneys can, be removed immedi ately at the discretion of Presi dent Eisenhower. A newly ap pointed attorney can then pick his own assistants beyond the realm of civil service. The same discretionary removal is allowed in connection with IT. S. marsh alls and customs collec tors. Oregon's marshal!. Jack Caufield, will be out of office, however as of Feb. 1, when his four year term is up so without a hitch Republicans can fill this $8,360 vacancy pronto. The marsh all must choose from civil service-approved applicants in selecting his deputies. Biggest controversy may devel op over the position of customs collector at Portland, a Job held by Mrs. Nan Wood Honeyman for nearly 11 years. Customs collec tors serve for stipulated four- year terms with no clear cut pro cedure which allows their re moval by a new party in power. But Republicans have been re viewing court cases that date back to 'FJXR.'s administration when he succeeded in removing certain collectors in order to make new appointments. Seek Replacement Mrs. Honeyman's term is to ex pire June 30, 1954, but Republic ans with their eyes on this $9,600 post hope to effect a replacement long before that. These are the few choice jobs at the moment. Farther down the list of openings are the more anonymous positions with various federal agencies having field of fices in the state. Civil service ratings are not required for many legal jobs the boon of budding politicians. Still cloudy are the exact chan nels through which patronage ap pointments will be made. Senator Gut Gordon will quarterback Oregon GOPers on Capitol Hill but whether the signals for each blav will come to Cordon from' the state or go to the state from the senior senator remains to be determined.' Though the party's bigwigs were all in town for more than a week during the inauguration pe riod, there were more important things occupying their time- chiefly getting their tlelines se curely fixed to key posts in the White House.
