Hoey Set for Chief Prober in Senate
Len Clyde Roark Hoey of North Carolina appears set to become the senate's chief investigator. Senate leaders favor Hoey to head the investigating subcommittee, taking over from Senator Ferguson as the group expands from wartime origins. Hoey, 71, a former governor and longtime Democratic figure, is seen as key in potential southern filibusters against civil rights voting. The post would direct inquiries into government departments, a broad remit following prior wartime investigations.
