Peter Edson reports that Republican National Committee Chairman B. Carroll Reece urged President Truman to appoint more Republicans to key federal agencies. He singled out the FTC, ICC, and FCC and argued commissions with seven year terms should reflect a Republican majority when Congress is controlled by Republicans. Reece warned party regularity would be required for appointees, with FCC’s July 30 1949 term end looming as a focal point.
