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.
