Pacific Northwest' Loses Balance Of Power in Interior Department Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune CoriMpondcnt Washington The Paeific Northwest now hag no one in a position of high authority In the Depart ment of the I n t e rior, the federal depart ment which is most vital to the region. Since the de- parture of Douglas Mc- v ... a. Kobu smiui tary. the bal ance of power in the highest posts of the department has shift ed to the Midwest. The state of Nebraska now can lay claim to the two top positions at Interior. Both Fred A. Seaton, the newly appointed secretary, and Clarence A. Davis, the undersec retary, are from the Cornhusker state. Davis is expected to stay on under Seaton for some months, possibly until after the November elections, so no change is anticipated there soon. Below these two positions in order of rank are three assistant secretaries who look after dif ferent agencies under the sprawl ing Interior Department. These arc: 1. Assistant Secretary for Land Management, held by Wes ley u twart of Montana. 2. Assistant Secretary for Wa ter and Power, held by Fred Aandahl of North Dakota. 3. Assistant Secretary for min eral resources, held by Felix E Wormser of New York. Idaho Closest The closest the Pacific North west now comes to a high post is Director of the Bureau of Land Management, who is Ed ward Woozley of Idaho. When McKay was secretary he did not fill the various high posts at Interior from his own section of the country, but gave the various other sections good representation. During his tenure virtually every section of the West could boast of one of its men in McKay's official family. California had Ralph A. Tu dor, McKay's first undersecre- : tary until he resigned to return ' to his San Francisco engineering firm.' The Southwest had Orme : Lewis, who was assistant secre- tary for land management until he quit to go back to his law : practice in Phoenix. The only other top Job held ; by a Pacific Northwest man was k-that of assistant to the secretary, 'who was Raymond Davis of Seat tle, a retired Insurance company "' "7 -f- -" , JJUJJIL1I.I M MM ill M IM HIMII ' T I ' 'ffl-- - -"Mm-" ; f f 11111-""- " ' ' '"' m-aMftkamaamllm , . ,1, fiiVi , rl.

In ternational Cooperation Admin istration. Rocky Mountain Claims The Southwest still has one man in a top job. He is the com missioner of Indian Affairs, Glenn L. Emmons, of Arizona. The Rocky Mountain states can claim the commissioner of rec lamation, Wilbur A. Dexheimer, of Colorado. And no position could be more-important to that area than chief of reclamation, now that Congress has author ized construction of the Upper Colorado reclamation project.
