Democrats Divided Over McNinch Power Commission Nomination
Washington Dec 18 AP Opposition to the confirmation Frank R McNinch of North Carolina to the power commission surfaces as the Interstate Commerce Committee plans a Monday vote on two Hoover selections.

Opposition also targets Garland and Governor Long ally. Next week the Senate Finance Committee moves to approve six tariff appointees and the power commission slate.
