Byrd Battles Truman Choice Over Hutchinson for FTC
Senator Byrd joins Sen. Robertson in opposing President Truman’s pick of Hutchinson for the Federal Trade Commission at 15000 a year. Byrd has blocked prior nominees from Wallgren to Ilgenfritz, with a history of curbing Truman allies and shaping federal appointments in Virginia and beyond. The nomination must pass the Senate, where Byrd’s bloc wields influence.
