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

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

of Colorado. And no position
could be more-important to that
area than chief of reclamation,
now that Congress has author

Farm Issue Tops
Election in Iowa
Des Moines, la (U.R) Ad
ministration farm policies were
the top issue in drought-threatened
Iowa's primary election to
day. But a light vote was ex
pected. The controversy over high
versus flexible price supports
boiled over into the feature pri
mary battle between Sen.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper and
youthful Attorney General Day
ton (Cracker Dry) Countryman.
Both seek the Republican sen
atorial nomination. Hickenloop
er is one of the leaders in the
administration's development of
a flexible price support pro
gram. Countryman wants high,
rigid supports.
The Hickenlooper - Country
man fight dominated the pri
mary in this staunchly Republi
can, farm-rich state.
There is no presidential pref
erence primary in Iowa. On the
Democratic side, R. M. (Spike)
Evans, one-time head of the Ag
ricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration, dueled with comparative
newcomer Lumund F. Wilcox
for the senatorial nomination.
Both demanded high, rigid farm
supports.
Only 390,000 of the state's es
timated 1,700,000 voters are ex
pected to cast ballots. Political
experts expected 300,000 of the
voters would, be Republicans,
but Democratic leaders predict
ed their vote total would get
close to 125,000.
First Rose Festival
Program Rained Out
Portland (U.R) First ev
ent on Portland's colorful Rose
festival of pageantry was rained
out yesterday but officials had
encouraging reports from flood
officials that more than offset
their disappointment.
The initial event in the week
long schedule, visit of the Jun
ior court to the Shriners hospit
al for Crippled children, was
cancelled yesterday when rain
dominated the day.
But Mayor Fred L. Peterson
announced that flood planners
had found that no emergency
exists at present or under the
forecasted crest of the Columbia
river and that the floodwaters
should have little effect on the
Rose Festival.
Portland (U.R) Earle An

of here.

day that no trace of C. A. Hap

Portion of Brinks
Loot Recovered
Baltimore (U.R) Police to
day reported recovery of $4635
which they believe to be part
of the $1,213,211 loot in the
great Brink's robbery of 1950.
Police found the money in the
hotel room of a man who had
been arrested earlier for pass
ing a suspicious $10 bill at an
amusement place here.
Police identified him as Jor
dan Perry, 31, alias Anthony E.
Hass of Boston.
Police said they had received
a tip that Perry changed a $10
bill that looked peculiar. The
proprietor of the shooting gal
lery told police the bill appeared
to have been washed.
They said when he was ar
rested he tried to get rid of
several hundred dollars in bills
by throwing them in the gutter.
Police retrieved the bills and
said that numbers on the bills
in his possession and found in
the hotel room coincided with
those stolen in the Brink's rob
bery. Police and the FBI said all
Perry would say was that he
found the money.
