Controversy Over Defense Nominations Sparks Debate in Senate
Senator Lyndon Johnson condemned the defense nominations controversy as damaging to the country while Republican Leader Taft warned political setbacks could be offset if appointees perform well. The Senate may approve Roger M. Kyes for deputy secretary of defense as other nominees face scrutiny for big business ties. Johnson warned public confidence is eroded and urged caution on appointments linked to major firms. Taft predicted Democrats will press a political angle but outcomes hinge on how well the nominees serve.
