T R U M A N A P P O IN T E E S CHALLENGED President Truman now finds himself in the very unenviable position of having to go to the rescue o f at least two of his last appontees to public office. The president has a tendency to remember his political friends when he is in a position to assist them and this thoughtfulness has already caused him considerable disagreeableness. The appointment of Edwin W. Pauley, form er national treasurer, to the position of under secretary of the navy has caused a tempest in the capital and rightly so, because Pauley’s name is connected with political scandal. The hearing, however, has not been completed. Appointees with shady backgrounds some times become very competent officials, but fed eral authorities should be able to find capable appointees without drifting into the group with questionable records.
