Defeat of Mc (Cellar Assures Realignment Of '53 Chairmanships BY JOHN L. STEELE Washington (U.R) The stinging defeat handed Sen. Ken neth D. McKellar makes inevit able a full-scale realignment of key Senate committee chairman ships next year whether Demo crats or Republicans win in No vember. " Not since the Repubcan 80th Congress met in January, 1947, will there have been such a major shakeup in vitally import ant committee posts. The 83-year-old McKellar was pushed out of public office after 36 years in the Senate and six years in the House by 44-year-old Rep. Albert Gore, who learned a good deal of his gov ernment economics at the knee of elder statesman Bernard M. Baruch. Powerful Leader The flood of Tennessee votes counted Friday spun into defeat one of the most powerful men on Capitol Hill. McKellar headed Salvation Army Camp Attendance Is High Over 1,430 camper days have been spent this summer at the . Salvation Army Camp Lake' O' Woods which is being sponsor ed by the Medford Elks club. The camp, which is still in session features such activities as swimming, boating, hayrides, crafts, nature lore, devotions and sports. - Camp personnel includes Cap tain and Mrs. Thomas Mack, camp dirctors; Major and Mrs. Jack Little, assistant camp di " rectors; Mrs. Mattie Long and Mrs. Myrtle Jones, camp cooks; Miss Nanci Ring and Mrs. Dor othy Gordon, dining rooms. Mrs. Mack, camp nurse; Tom Robertson, Roy Colley, George Wright and Chet Garrison, life guards; Mrs. Lillian Espey, can teen director; Mrs. Boyd Har low and Mrs. Little, devotions; Arthur Newman, camp caretak er; and Major Little and Mrs. Mack, crafts. Eva Peron's Fortune Estimated in Millions Montevideo, Uruguay U.R) Mrs. Eva Peron left a fortune of more than $20 million, well-informed Argentine political exiles estimated Saturday. The late Argentine first lady's jewels alone were estimated to be worth at least $15 million and in addition she possessed mil lions of dollars worth of cash, securities and real estate. The exact value and disposi tion of her estate may never be known. . Frends in Buenos Aires said she had left a will containing 86 bequests, but this has not been confirmed. the Senate Appropriations Com mittee which passes on every nickel the federal government spends. To many, McKellar's word was virtually law. And he reigned as Senate president pro tempore as well. The impending shakeup results from death, defeat, and retire ment. It wiU be complete if Re publicans take control of Con gress this fall. It will be far- reaching even if the Democrats win. Hayden May Succeed McKellar, presuming a Demo cratic victory, will be succeeded by Sen. Carl Hayden, a man marked by his distaste for the limelight and one who has rep resented Arizona in Congress since the state was admitted to the union in 1912. In event of a Republican victory, the spend ing committee boss will be Sen Styles Bridges of New Hamp shire, who had the job in the stormy 80th Congress. Another -major change will be in the leadership of the foreign relations committee. Chairman Tom Connally of Texas is calling it a day and retiring after 24 years in the Senate and 12 years in the House. If Republicans win control in the elections, Connally will be succeeded by Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin a man who has eyed the post for years and who already is speaking out for the bipartisan foreign policy laid down by the late Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. The situation is not clear if the Democrats con tinue their majority. Turnover Inevitable A turnover of command is also inevitable in the youngest major committee of them all, the Sen ate-House Committee on Atomic Energy. Sen. Brien McMahon, (D.-Conn.), the man who fathered the atomic control law, died re cently. If Republicans take over, the chairman could be Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa. But the House, which thus far has had to settle for the vice- chairmanship of the joint com mittee, may demand a turn. If Democrats hold tight to their Congressional control, Sen. Clin- ton P. Anderson of New Mexico or Rep. Carl T. Durham, North Carolina, are the best bets. California Man Gets Right-of-way Contract Portland -flJ.R) A $177,400 contract for clearing the right-of-way for the Maupin-Detroit 300-kilovolt power transmission line No. 2 has been awarded to W.
