to duty and capacity for public
service have been completely es
tablished," Mr. Truman told
Pauley.
In apparent reference to charges
made against Pauley bji Harold L.
Ickes, who resigned as Secretary
of Interior during the- Pauley
nomination battle, the President
wrote:
"You stand before your country'
men after vicious and unwarrant
ed attacks with integrity un
scathed, with ability unquestioned,
with honor unsullied."
Current Hysteria
Pauley's letter to the President,
dated today, asked Mr. Truman
to withdraw the nomination De
cause he felt that under circunv
stances of "current hysteria" it
would be Impossible for him to
render either the Navy or Mr.
Truman the type of service he
said both deserved.
Walsh's statement for the Sen
ate committee said, in part:
"The majority of the committee
assures Mr. Pauley in closing
these hearings that they have no
doubt regarding his personal in
tegrity and administrative compe
tence. Mr. Pauley has stated, and
we believe him, that he did not
seek this position, and also, that
he is entitled to have his name
cleared of any charge made
against him. '
"It should be noted that the
record shows that no witness at
tempted to criticize his ability or
integrity while serving in high
public office before Pearl Harbor
and during his most difficult as
signment on .German and Japa
nese reparations."
Statement Approved
Walsh said the statement was
Issued "without objection." He
emphasized, however, that it did
not necessarily have the support
of all republican committee mem
bers. Highlight of the six-week dis
pute, over Pauley's qualifications
was Ickes' charge that Pauley told
him he could raise 3uu,uuo oi
democratic campaign funds from
oil interests if Ickes would aban
don his efforts to get federal pos-.
session ul iium un jauus.
Pauley vehemently denied the
charge. Ickes then charged that
Mr. Truman wanted him to lie in
order to protect Pauley. Ickes sub
mitted his resignation, and tne
President accepted it instanter.
Was Demo Secretary
Pauley was treasurer of the
Democratic national committee at
the time of his conversation with
Ickes in 1944.
The charge that Pauley told
.Ickes that California oil interests
would contribute $300,000 to the
Democratic campaign fund if the
Tidelands suit was dropped first
was published in the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch on Oct. 23, 1945.
The Post-Dispatch quoted "au
thoritative sources" and at the
same time printed Pauley's denial
that he ever suggested such a
proposition to the Secretary of Interior.
The newspaper carried the ac
count of the Ickes-Pauley conver
sation in connection with a series
of stories .dealing with efforts of
California oil interests to stop the
government suit and press legisla
tion which would affirm state
rights to tidelands oil.

entry Into Atom Control
WASHINGTON, March 13
Secretary of Commerce Wallace
said yesterday that an atomic

"has the potentiality of deliver

voted six-to-one to incorporate
into pending legislation a provi
sion giving a presidentially-appointed
military liaison committee
a right to intervene before a ci
vilian atomic control commission
of five.
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich)
held that military regulation "is
necessary until stabilized interna
tional control is developed effec
tively to prohibit the use of atomic
energy for military purposes by
anybody at any time."
