Republicans To Block Further Appointments
Washington May 29 Republicans set up a barricade against confirmation of any further major appointments by President Truman. GOP leaders sought to keep jobs open for a Republican president, routing action on several nominees including Frieda B Hennock first woman nominated to the federal communications commission. They also agreed to extend Lilenthal’s atomic energy commission term only to 1950. Truman sought five year Lilienthal chair with others on four year terms. Senate approved Brannan for secretary of agriculture, but party leaders urged delays on five pending nominations across agencies and the US tax court.
